[llvm-dev] Windows JIT-Client and Emulated TLS

Hello LLVM-World,

yeah... It's me again and still with the never ending (but cool) task of
jitting BC files under windows.
My setup is: LLVM 7.0.0, with the corresponding Clang, Visual Studio 2017 (Clang
integrated via "vix" installer) and my target is also windows x64.

I create BC files with clang-cl and have currently a new test code, which has a
static variable inside a lambda function. This lambda function returns the
address of this said variable.
As mention this code is compiled with clang-cl for windows in 64bit, generating
a BC file.

When loading this file with my JIT-Client I get some undefined references which
I could resolve - besides from two:
"__emutls_get_address" and "__emutls_v.xyz_" (xyz is just a
place holder - don't remember what was written there)

I tried researching a bit and... I think this functions are related to emulating
TLS?

So I look into the IR file but noticed that these function where not mentioned
there. So I assumed they must be created by the JIT process, so I went there and
looked for my "llvm::TargetOptions" and set these values explicit:
                                options.ThreadModel = llvm::ThreadModel::Single;
                                options.EmulatedTLS = false;
                                options.ExplicitEmulatedTLS = false;

Sadly this didn't changed a thing... Also setting "-Xclang
-fno-emulated-tls" didn't worked, only setting the MSVC switch
"/Zc:threadSafeInit-" helped but... obviously disabled TLS at all.

What options do I have? I found an implementation for
"__emutls_get_address" in compiler-rt but no explanation what I should
do with these "__emutls_v."-functions. Further, can't I just
disable emulated-tls? My JIT-Client seemed to have ignored my wish...

I hope someone can help me with that :0
I'm still a beginner so... sorry for this question

Kind greetings and thank you
Björn

It looks like you'll need to set ExplicitEmulatedTLS to true, in order
to say "I am making an explicit choice about options.EmulatedTLS":

That sadly didn't helped... the functions are still generated...
