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

Quick update: the previous patch only worked for static linking; this version should work for both static and dynamic linking. I'm not going to send any more updated patches to this list, but please feel free to e-mail me off-list, and I'll be happy to share any updates I have at any point in the future. -Hal ----- Original Message ----- > Rafael, Rui, > > This is obviously

You should probably send them for review/inclusion in bfd.

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.

bfd linker 2.26 works fine with LLVMgold.so. As I mentioned in a previous email, 2.26 ar and ranlib also works fine as long as LLVMgold.so is put in a path binutils know about : $(bindir)/../lib/bfd-plugins/ David On Sun, Oct 2, 2016 at 3:59 AM, Carsten Mattner <carstenmattner at gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, Oct 2, 2016 at 6:52 AM, Teresa Johnson <tejohnson at google.com> >

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?

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,

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, 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

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?

`/usr/bin/ld -v' says it is not running gold and I suppose fixing that would require place LLVMgold.so into /usr/lib/bfd-plugins. Is there any way to make this work without requiring root access to the machine? Also, just to confirm, is the gold plugin required even when all of the files have been compiled/built using llvm-gcc and llvm-ar? Ashay On Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 1:33 PM, Eli Friedman
