Clang Nvlink Wrapper

Introduction
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
This tool works as a wrapper over the ``nvlink`` program. It is required
|
||||
because ``nvlink`` does not support linking of archive files implicitly. It
|
||||
transparently passes every input option and object to ``nvlink`` except archive
|
||||
files. It reads each input archive file to extract the archived cubin files as
|
||||
temporary files. These temporary (*.cubin) files are passed to ``nvlink``.
|
||||
|
||||
Use Case
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
During linking of heterogeneous device archive libraries with an OpenMP
|
||||
program, the :doc:`ClangOffloadBundler` creates a device specific archive of
|
||||
cubin files. Such an archive is then passed to this wrapper tool to extract
|
||||
cubin files before passing to ``nvlink``.
|
||||
|
||||
Working
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
**Inputs**
|
||||
|
||||
A command line generated by the OpenMP-Clang driver targeting NVPTX,
|
||||
containing a set of flags, cubin object files, and zero or more archive
|
||||
files.
|
||||
|
||||
Example::
|
||||
|
||||
clang-nvlink-wrapper main.cubin /tmp/libTest-nvptx-sm_50.a -o main-linked.out
|
||||
|
||||
**Processing**
|
||||
|
||||
1. From each archive file extract all cubin files as temporary files and
|
||||
store their names in a list, `CubinFiles`.
|
||||
2. Create a new command line, `NVLinkCommand`, such that
|
||||
* Program is ``nvlink``
|
||||
* All input flags are transparently passed on as flags
|
||||
* All input archive file are replaced with `CubinFiles`
|
||||
3. Execute NVLinkCommand
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract (libTest-nvptx-sm_50.a) => /tmp/a.cubin /tmp/b.cubin
|
||||
2. nvlink -o a.out-openmp-nvptx64 main.cubin /tmp/a.cubin /tmp/b.cubin
|
||||
|
||||
**Output**
|
||||
|
||||
Output file generated by ``nvlink`` which links all cubin files.
