GNU ld has a counterintuitive lang_propagate_lma_regions rule. ``` // .foo's LMA region is propagated to .bar because their VMA region is the same, // and .bar does not have an explicit output section address (addr_tree). .foo : { *(.foo) } >RAM AT> FLASH .bar : { *(.bar) } >RAM // An explicit output section address disables propagation. .foo : { *(.foo) } >RAM AT> FLASH .bar . : { *(.bar) } >RAM ``` In both cases, lld thinks .foo's LMA region is propagated and places .bar in the same PT_LOAD, so lld diverges from GNU ld w.r.t. the second case (lma-align.test). This patch changes Writer<ELFT>::createPhdrs to disable propagation (start a new PT_LOAD). A user of the first case can make linker scripts portable by explicitly specifying `AT>`. By contrast, there was no workaround for the old behavior. This change uncovers another LMA related bug in assignOffsets() where `ctx->lmaOffset = 0;` was omitted. It caused a spurious "load address range overlaps" error for at2.test The new PT_LOAD rule is complex. For convenience, I listed the origins of some subexpressions: * rL323449: `sec->memRegion == load->firstSec->memRegion`; linkerscript/at3.test * D43284: `load->lastSec == Out::programHeaders` (don't start a new PT_LOAD after program headers); linkerscript/at4.test * D58892: `sec != relroEnd` (start a new PT_LOAD after PT_GNU_RELRO) Reviewed By: psmith Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D74297 |

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and runtime environments.
The README briefly describes how to get started with building LLVM. For more information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Getting Started with the LLVM System
Taken from https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html.
Overview
Welcome to the LLVM project!
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and converts it into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer. It also contains basic regression tests.
C-like languages use the Clang front end. This component compiles C, C++, Objective C, and Objective C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
The LLVM Getting Started documentation may be out of date. The Clang Getting Started page might have more accurate information.
This is an example workflow and configuration to get and build the LLVM source:
-
Checkout LLVM (including related subprojects like Clang):
-
git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
-
Or, on windows,
git clone --config core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
-
-
Configure and build LLVM and Clang:
-
cd llvm-project
-
mkdir build
-
cd build
-
cmake -G <generator> [options] ../llvm
Some common generators are:
Ninja
--- for generating Ninja build files. Most llvm developers use Ninja.Unix Makefiles
--- for generating make-compatible parallel makefiles.Visual Studio
--- for generating Visual Studio projects and solutions.Xcode
--- for generating Xcode projects.
Some Common options:
-
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='...'
--- semicolon-separated list of the LLVM subprojects you'd like to additionally build. Can include any of: clang, clang-tools-extra, libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind, lldb, compiler-rt, lld, polly, or debuginfo-tests.For example, to build LLVM, Clang, libcxx, and libcxxabi, use
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;libcxx;libcxxabi"
. -
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=directory
--- Specify for directory the full pathname of where you want the LLVM tools and libraries to be installed (default/usr/local
). -
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=type
--- Valid options for type are Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, and MinSizeRel. Default is Debug. -
-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=On
--- Compile with assertion checks enabled (default is Yes for Debug builds, No for all other build types).
-
Run your build tool of choice!
-
The default target (i.e.
ninja
ormake
) will build all of LLVM. -
The
check-all
target (i.e.ninja check-all
) will run the regression tests to ensure everything is in working order. -
CMake will generate build targets for each tool and library, and most LLVM sub-projects generate their own
check-<project>
target. -
Running a serial build will be slow. To improve speed, try running a parallel build. That's done by default in Ninja; for
make
, usemake -j NNN
(NNN is the number of parallel jobs, use e.g. number of CPUs you have.)
