llvm dev - Dec 2012 - [LLVMdev] llvm-ar

Hi,

I am trying to link archives built by llvm-ar with other bitcode files, 
using llvm-link. But llvm-link seems unable to read files produced by 
llvm-ar. Also, clang seems unable to read files produced by llvm-ar. Am 
I doing something wrong or is this the expected behavior? Is there any 
work-around?

Thanks.

You're not doing anything wrong. llvm-link doesn't handle archives. I
sent a patch to the list to fix that but it was rejected on the basis that
llvm-link should have limited functionality. The subject was "patch to
llvm-link to link in archives" if you want to search the list archives for
details.
