llvm dev - Nov 2009 - [LLVMdev] Compilation error while cross compiling LLVM for ARM - the __clear_cache issue

Hi,

i am a newbie to llvm architecture. i have been trying to port llvm on ARM
target. i am using the following configuration for cross compiling llvm.

../llvm/configure --host=arm-linux --target=arm-linux --build=i686-linux
--prefix=/opt/llvm-arm/ --enable-optimized --disable-debug \
 --disable-expensive-checks --disable-doxygen \
 --disable-threads --enable-targets=cbe,cpp,arm

using this configuration i am facing the following compilation error. pls
help me how to resolve this error..

*make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/prasanth/LLVM_ARM/llvm-target/obj-new/lib/System'
llvm[1]: Compiling Alarm.cpp for Release build

*i can able to compile by commenting the line in Memory.cpp but i am not
sure whether it will affect anything while running llvm on target.
After cross-compilation i copied the binaries to target and i tried to
compile and run a simple helloworld.c application. As clang requires a
working gcc on target i used to "-ccc-clang-archs" options to skip the
need
for gcc on target. But still i am getting the following error.

*can anyone help me how to use clang for compiling applications on target.
is it possible to run llvm bytecode on target using lli? if it is so pls let
me know how to do it..

following are the target info:
*target : arm
cpu : arm1136jf-s
toolchain : armv6*

Thanks and Regards,
Prasanth J

By commenting out that line will make your llvm version crash
sporadically since you would recreate llvm PR4960 if using the llvm JIT.
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4960

__clear_cache are needed to clear the instructioncache after jitting a
function and this gcc builtin are found in gcc 4.3.3 and later or
CodeSourcery's 2007Q3/2008Q1 compiler releases and later.

Try updating you cross compiler!

Hi all,
with reference to the reply below, I downloaded toolchain from codesourcery
(arm-2009q1-203-arm-none-linux-gnueabi) with gcc 4.3.3... when i compile
llvm+clang with this toolchain i am getting the following error

make[4]: Entering directory

can anyone please tell me why am i getting this error and how can i resolve
this?

Thanks and Regards,
