We have an issue currently. The following YAML piece just ignores the `Excluded` key.
```
SectionHeaderTable:
Sections: []
Excluded:
- Name: .foo
```
Currently the meaning is: exclude the whole table.
The code checks that the `Sections` key is empty and doesn't catch/check
invalid/duplicated/missed `Excluded` entries.
Also there is no way to exclude all sections except the first null section,
because `Sections: []` currently just excludes the whole the sections header table.
To fix it, I suggest a change of the behavior.
1) A new `NoHeaders` key is added. It provides an explicit syntax to drop the whole table.
2) The meaning of the following is changed:
```
SectionHeaderTable:
Sections: []
Excluded:
- Name: .foo
```
Assuming there are 2 sections in the object (a null section and `.foo`), with this patch it
means: exclude the `.foo` section, keep the null section. The null section is an implicit
section and I think it is reasonable to make "Sections: []" to mean it is implicitly added.
It will be consistent with the global "Sections" tag that is used to describe sections.
3) `SectionHeaderTable->Sections` is now optional. No `Sections` is the same as
`Sections: []` (I think it avoids a confusion).
4) Using of `NoHeaders` together with `Sections`/`Excluded` is not allowed.
5) It is possible to use the `Excluded` key without the `Sections` key now (in this case
`Excluded` must contain all sections).
6) `SectionHeaderTable:` or `SectionHeaderTable: []` is not allowed.
7) When the `SectionHeaderTable` key is present, we still require all sections to be
present in `Sections` and `Excluded` lists. No changes here, we are still strict.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
This directory and its sub-directories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time 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 work-flow and configuration to get and build the LLVM source:
-
Checkout LLVM (including related sub-projects 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] ../llvmSome common build system 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 sub-projects 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 path name 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).
-
cmake --build . [-- [options] <target>]or your build system specified above directly.-
The default target (i.e.
ninjaormake) will build all of LLVM. -
The
check-alltarget (i.e.ninja check-all) will run the regression tests to ensure everything is in working order. -
CMake will generate 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, use the option-j NNN, whereNNNis the number of parallel jobs, e.g. the number of CPUs you have.
