The linker knows the archive name from which it's fetching the member, as well as its offset (it asks libArchive about it, for lld). I'm not sure how it works ld64, but of course, to get this mechanism working, you need some linker modifications. CC:ed some Mach-O people, they probably know more about this than I do.

The proposed fix in ThinLTOCodeGenerator.cpp could be a partial workaround until linkers do this. Agree that it should be documented, at the very least in the header file interfaces to the new/old LTO APIs. Not sure there is a better place to document?

[llvm-dev] [ThinLTO] static library failure with object files with the same name
Hi Johan, ld64 only calls functions from llvm/include/llvm-c/lto.h (defined in llvm/tools/lto/lto.cpp) For instance ThinLTOCodeGenerator::addModule is called through thinlto_codegen_add_module(). Apple hasn't released the code for ld64 in Xcode 9 yet, did you check if it is fixed in Xcode 9? (I think I remember fixing it in ld64 but I'm not totally sure...).>From what I can see with Xcode 8.2, the linker just passes the file name(prefixed with the archive name): https://github.com/michaelweiser/ld64/blob/master/src/ld/parsers/lto_file.cpp#L546 (original here: https://opensource.apple.com/source/ld64/ld64-274.2/src/ld/parsers/lto_file.cpp.auto.html ) We could workaround this in ThinLTOCodeGenerator by adding a incremental suffix to every new buffer. Something like this diff: diff --git a/llvm/lib/LTO/ThinLTOCodeGenerator.cpp b/llvm/lib/LTO/ThinLTOCodeGenerator.cpp index ffd78dad9228..d6e5d4d0c213 100644 --- a/llvm/lib/LTO/ThinLTOCodeGenerator.cpp +++ b/llvm/lib/LTO/ThinLTOCodeGenerator.cpp @@ -535,7 +535,9 @@ static void initTMBuilder(TargetMachineBuilder &TMBuilder, } // end anonymous namespace void ThinLTOCodeGenerator::addModule(StringRef Identifier, StringRef Data) { - ThinLTOBuffer Buffer(Data, Identifier); + std::string Id + (Twine(Identifier) + "_" + std::to_string(Modules.size())).str(); + ThinLTOBuffer Buffer(Data, std::move(Id)); LLVMContext Context; StringRef TripleStr; ErrorOr<std::string> TripleOrErr = expectedToErrorOrAndEmitErrors( -- Mehdi 2017-09-07 8:18 GMT-07:00 Teresa Johnson <tejohnson at google.com>:> > > On Wed, Sep 6, 2017 at 1:28 PM, Davide Italiano via llvm-dev < > llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> wrote: > >> On Wed, Sep 6, 2017 at 1:10 PM, Johan Engelen via llvm-dev >> <llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> wrote: >> > On Tue, Sep 5, 2017 at 11:34 PM, Davide Italiano <dccitaliano at gmail.com >> > >> > wrote: >> >> >> >> On Tue, Sep 5, 2017 at 2:09 PM, Teresa Johnson <tejohnson at google.com> >> >> wrote: >> >> > >> >> > Hi Johan, >> >> > >> >> > Right, per the bug this is fixed in lld (and was already handled in >> >> > gold-plugin), but I guess not in ld64.
