There are two ways one could implement hiding of linkonce_odr symbols in LTO: * LLVM tells the linker which symbols can be hidden if not used from native files. * The linker tells LLVM which symbols are not used from other object files, but will be put in the dso symbol table if present. GOLD's API is the second option. It was implemented almost 1:1 in llvm by passing the list down to internalize. LLVM already had partial support for the first option. It is also very similar to how ld64 handles hiding these symbols when *not* doing LTO. This patch then * removes the APIs for the DSO list. * marks LTO_SYMBOL_SCOPE_DEFAULT_CAN_BE_HIDDEN all linkonce_odr unnamed_addr global values and other linkonce_odr whose address is not used. * makes the gold plugin responsible for handling the API mismatch. llvm-svn: 193800 |

This directory contains a plugin that is designed to work with binutils
gold linker. At present time, this is not the default linker in
binutils, and the default build of gold does not support plugins.
Obtaining binutils:
cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/src login
{enter "anoncvs" as the password}
cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/src co binutils
This will create a src/ directory. Make a build/ directory and from
there configure binutils with "../src/configure --enable-gold --enable-plugins".
Then build binutils with "make all-gold".
To build the LLVMgold plugin, configure LLVM with the option
--with-binutils-include=/path/to/binutils/src/include/ --enable-pic. To use the
plugin, run "ld-new --plugin /path/to/LLVMgold.so".
Without PIC libLTO and LLVMgold are not being built (because they would fail
link on x86-64 with a relocation error: PIC and non-PIC can't be combined).
As an alternative to passing --enable-pic, you can use 'make ENABLE_PIC=1' in
your entire LLVM build.
