similar to: [LLVMdev] What are the optimizations that gold uses during the final link stage?

The linker can select to do this when -save-temps is used on the command line. I think an example will explain. Lets say we have a function foo that is unused. The output of lto_codegen_write_merged_modules will have foo in it, but it will be

Hi, I found some posts on the topic of whole program bitcode and gold plugin. I put lto_codegen_write_merged_modules(cg, "/path/to/output.bc") into gold-plugin.cpp all_symbols_read_hook() and compiled one autotooled program (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/diction/diction-1.11.tar.gz) as described in the gold plugin document, however, I still did not see the output.bc. Can anyone has

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

Some things to check: Run llvm-gcc a.c -emit-llvm -use-gold-plugin -Wl,debug This will print the link command line. What is it? Do you get the same error messages if you run just that? Are gold and the plugin linked with the same libstdc++? Cheers On Jun 5, 2010 11:50 PM, "Guoliang Jin" <jingl1345 at gmail.com> wrote: The errors are /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version

The errors are /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found I can not use it in the command line...

Hi, I would like to get the whole program bitcode with debug information in it. I tried to use CFLAGS = "-O4 -g", but it ends with the following error: collect2: ld terminated with signal 6 [Aborted] Unknown constant! UNREACHABLE executed at /local.toadette/aliang/fixing/llvm-2.7/llvm-2.7/lib/Bitcode/Writer/BitcodeWriter.cpp:895! What is the right way to get a whole program bitcode

Thanks Rafael. I compiled llvm-gcc by myself, and I can compile mysql now. Right now, when I run llvm-gcc a.c -emit-llvm -use-gold-plugin -Wl,debug I got ld: error: cannot open debug: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I do not know why this is happening.

Hi there, I compiled clang+gold using a gcc under path /s/gcc-4.3.1/bin/. Later on I do configure and make for flex-2.5.35, and the following command is invoked: "/path/to/my/gold/ld" --hash-style=gnu --no-add-needed --eh-frame-hdr -m elf_i386 -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -o flex /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../crt1.o

Hello, I am trying to compile mysql using LLVM and I am found the following "If you just want to use *LLVM*'s link-time optimizations, you will need to use the libLTO library with your linker. Your linker, in turn, must be able to support plugins (like the gold linker, for example). For directions on how to set up libLTO, see http://*llvm*.org/docs/LinkTimeOptimization.html

Hi, I want to pass parameter to a analysis pass. My pass need to use some result from some other tools. I can hard code a file name into my pass, and let my pass read input there, but what if I do not want the file name to be hard coded? Is it possible to do that? If yes, where can I find some documentation about it? Thanks, Guoliang
