llvm dev - Jan 2013 - [LLVMdev] lli problem with a simple OpenGL

 Hello,

I wrote a very simple openGL application, as below

#include 
#include 
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  glutInit(&argc, argv);
  glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DEPTH);
  glutCreateWindow("red 3D lighted cube");
  printf("GL_VERSION = %s\n",glGetString(GL_VERSION) );
  return 0;
}

Compiling it with Clang and adding -lglut option worked correctly
$ clang  simple.c  -o  simple  -lglut
$ ./simple
GL_VERSION = 2.1 Mesa 7.10.2

But, adding the -emit-llvm option to clang, does not work as below
$ clang -O3 -emit-llvm simple.c  -o simple.bc -lglut
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/bin/../lib/LLVMgold.so: error loading plugin
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/bin/../lib/LLVMgold.so: error in plugin cleanup
(ignored)
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Also, removing the -lglut option worked with clang but failed with lli as below
$ clang -O3 -emit-llvm simple.c -c -o simple.bc
$ lli simple.bc
LLVM ERROR: Program used external function 'glutInit' which could not be
resolved!

Please advice how to run it using the llvm jit 'lli'

Thanks in advance
Sara

What Clang is actually trying to do here is generate a .bc (LLVM IR)
file and feed that into the linker to produce a final fully native
output (which you happen to have decided should be called simple.bc --
it's still going to be an ELF file). Since linkers don't natively
understand LLVM's IR, this needs a plugin which calls back to LLVM for
some of the work. That's the LLVMgold.so plugin it's referring to.

My guess is that it doesn't exist on your machine; compiling it would
require extra effort.

If you want a .bc containing LLVM IR, give clang the "-c"
("compile
only") option (and not -lglut, though it'll be harmless). Then it
won't bother trying to link.

The problem here is that lli looks inside its own dynamic context for
functions referenced externally. I couldn't see an option to lli which
will make it load a specified dynamic library. Someone else may reply
with one I've missed of course. I suppose if you were creating your
own JIT compiler you'd want to handle that yourself anyway.

A hack that worked for me was to tell the system itself to load the
required library, rather than lli:

$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libglut.so lli -use-mcjit simple.bc

Hope this helps.

Tim.
