Hi all, I got an error from the gold plugin example in the following link: http://llvm.org/docs/GoldPlugin.html#example1 Here is the error message: sangmin at sangmin-desktop:/tmp$ llvm-gcc -use-gold-plugin a.a b.o -o main /usr/bin/ld: error: a.a: no archive symbol table (run ranlib) /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/crt1.o:(.text+0x18): error: undefined reference to 'main' /usr/bin/ld: b.o: in

Hi, I fixed error by using different version of ld with LLVM 2.7. I used ld.gold that comes with Ubuntu 10.04. Here is the version info: sangmin at sangmin-desktop:/tmp$ ld -v GNU gold (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu 2.20.1-system.20100303) 1.9 My experience of gold plugin is as follows: LLVM 2.7 (with libLLVMgold.so) + ld 2.20.1 (from Ubuntu 10.04) : O LLVM 2.7 (with libLLVMgold.so) + ld 2.21.51

Hello, I down loaded "llvm-gcc4.2-2.7-x86_64-linux" and I built Spec2006 with it. It is great and except for one benchmark the rest work fine. I want to build them with LTO now. I followed the directions in " http://llvm.org/docs/GoldPlugin.html" and built ar, nm-new, and ld-new in binutils. I also built libLLVMgold.so. I get the following error: llvm-gcc: -use-gold-plugin,

For some time now the gold linker has support for plugins and llvm has a plugin for it. Unfortunately, it was still not possible to do fully transparent LTO on linux because ar had no support for plugins and a library created with llvm files in it would have no symbol table and would be rejected by gold. Today support for plugins has been committed to BFD. That is the file format abstraction

Dear all, I'm trying to use the gold plugin to make it easier to generate LLVM bitcode from complex applications. I did the steps mentioned on "http://llvm.org/docs/GoldPlugin.html". Both linking and LLVM generation seem to work properly, however when using the tool ar, the symbol table is lost. "no archive symbol table (run ranlib)". I'm using LLVM 2.9, Ubuntu 10.10,

This now works Very nice Rafael! Can you please update the web page to mention this, e.g. in the LinkTimeOptimization.html document and wherever else relevant? -Chris > > $ llvm-gcc -emit-llvm -O2 -c a.c

I have been trying to enable the gold linker on FreeBSD to use the link time optimizations. I made gold from the binutils under /usr/ports. After building binutils using make -k install clean i got ld under /usr/bin and in the directory /usr/local/bin i got ld, ld.gold and ld.bfd. Now while trying to use link time optimization for the simple example programs

Hi, unfortunately, my build somehow hangs when linking clang binary and my system is in an unusable state. My toolchain is clang-3.8, gold-1.11 and LLVMgold.so from binutils v2.26.1 (both selfmade) and LTO-flag is enabled. My buildsystem uses cmake-3.6.0 and ninja-1.7.1 (both prebuilt). I have 52 last steps left in my 3rd build. My Linux-kernel is v3.13.0-92 from official Ubuntu repositories.

How big is your project? LTO eats RAM even faster than chrome. For example linking clang with LTO could take 16GB of ram. Have you tried using LTO on your project on that machine, or is it your first time?

the symlink ld is already pointing to /usr/bin/ld. Also -fuse-ld=gold does not works on clang in freebsd. I am not sure where is the problem?should I remove /usr/bin/ld and create a new symlink to /usr/local/bin/ld.gold?

Hi, I am trying to use LLVM LTO. I read http://llvm.org/docs/GoldPlugin.html and have some questions. Could anyone help? 1. Can LLVMgold.so work with BFD LD instead of gold? In the description of changes in binutils 2.20, "* The plugin target has been added to bfd. It can load the same shared objects used by gold and uses them to provide basic support for new file formats.".

Hi, I'm trying to build clang/LLVM and am hitting a test failure in compiler-rt/test/safestack/lto.c. I believe the issue is that we've configured clang to use ld.bfd as the linker. ld.bfd has plugin support as described here: https://llvm.org/docs/GoldPlugin.html compiler-rt/test/lit.common.cfg isn't set up to know about ld.bfd: elif config.host_os == 'Linux' and

Hi there, I checked out the latest code from the repository, and wanna use the gold plugin, but I got the following: libLLVMgold.so: could not load plugin library Do you know why this is happening? Also I noticed the name of the library is changed to LLVMgold.so, and I just renamed it to libLLVMgold.so when I copied it. Is this the right thing to do? Thanks, Guoliang

Rafael, Rui, This is obviously an old thread, but in case there is interest, I've been able to get this to work (using the LLVM gold plugin with the ld.bfd linker). This requires some additional logic in the ld.bfd linker (and a small change to the bfd library). I've attached the patch (against binutils HEAD from 2013-09-17) in case anyone finds this useful. The core issue is that ld.bfd
