Subject: What is test/Libraries?
|
||||
|
||||
Hey everyone,
|
||||
|
||||
There has recently been some confusion over what test/Libraries is and
|
||||
what it is used for. The short answer is: it's used when building GCC,
|
||||
not for tests, so you all shouldn't need to use it.
|
||||
|
||||
test/Libraries contains the LLVM "system libraries", which are linked to
|
||||
programs when the linker is run with the appropriate -l switch (for
|
||||
example -lm links in the "math" library). In general, these libraries are
|
||||
just stubbed out libraries, because noone has had the time to do a full
|
||||
glibc port to LLVM.
|
||||
|
||||
Problems arise because the makefiles have a number of hardcoded paths in
|
||||
it that are used to copy files around and install the libraries, which
|
||||
cause problems if anyone (except for me) uses them. I'm sorry a better
|
||||
system isn't in place yet for these libraries, but if you just ignore
|
||||
them, they won't cause you any harm. :)
|
||||
