For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
After a first attempt to fix the test-suite failures, my first recommit
caused the same failures again. I had updated CMakeList.txt files of
tests that needed -fcommon, but it turns out that there are also
Makefiles which are used by some bots, so I've updated these Makefiles
now too.
See the original commit message for more details on this change:
0a9fc9233e
This includes fixes for:
- test-suite: some benchmarks need to be compiled with -fcommon, see D75557.
- compiler-rt: one test needed -fcommon, and another a change, see D75520.
This reverts commit 0a9fc9233e.
Going to look at the asan failures.
I find the failures in the test suite weird, because they look
like compile time test and I don't understand how that can be
failing, but will have a brief look at that too.
This makes -fno-common the default for all targets because this has performance
and code-size benefits and is more language conforming for C code.
Additionally, GCC10 also defaults to -fno-common and so we get consistent
behaviour with GCC.
With this change, C code that uses tentative definitions as definitions of a
variable in multiple translation units will trigger multiple-definition linker
errors. Generally, this occurs when the use of the extern keyword is neglected
in the declaration of a variable in a header file. In some cases, no specific
translation unit provides a definition of the variable. The previous behavior
can be restored by specifying -fcommon.
As GCC has switched already, we benefit from applications already being ported
and existing documentation how to do this. For example:
- https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-10/porting_to.html
- https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gcc_10_porting_notes/fno_common

Summary:
Clang -fpic defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition (GCC -fpic defaults
to -fsemantic-interposition).
Users need to specify -fsemantic-interposition to get semantic
interposition behavior.
Semantic interposition is currently a best-effort feature. There may
still be some cases where it is not handled well.

Amongst other, this will help LTO to correctly handle/honor files
compiled with O0, helping debugging failures.
It also seems in line with how we handle other options, like how
-fnoinline adds the appropriate attribute as well.

This reverts commit r254143 which introduces a crash on the following input:
f(char *);
g(char *);
#pragma weak f = g
int g(char *p) {}

This fixes pr17639.
Before this patch clang would consider
void foo(void) __attribute((alias("__foo")));
a declaration. It now correctly handles it as a definition.
Initial patch by Alp Toker. I added support for variables.

Instead of using not, just drop the fastcall attribute which was causing
an warning:
calling convention 'fastcall' ignored for this target

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
