Summary

D78354 enabled installing PIC version of both libclang.a and libclang.so when LIBCLANG_BUILD_STATIC is ON. But it broke the no-PIC build when LLVM_ENABLE_PIC=OFF with the following error:

CMake Error at                                                             
/b/s/w/ir/cache/builder/src/third_party/llvm/clang/tools/libclang/CMakeLists.txt:123
(target_compile_definitions):                                              
    target_compile_definitions called with non-compilable target type

This is because as the code loops through ${name} and ${name}_static, it introduced a side effect, which is adding an empty libclang_static to targets. Later target_compile_definitions is called on libclang_static. That function requires that target must have been created by a command such as add_executable() or add_library(), so it crashed.

The solution is to not naively loop through both libclang and libclang_static, but only the ones that are actually added by llvm_add_library(). Here's the library build type to library target name mapping:

SHARED onlylibclang
STATIC onlylibclang
SHARED and STATIClibclang and libclang_static

So only when SHARED and STATIC are both set should we loop through two targets. Explicitly parse the STATIC argument and set the list accordingly.

Test plan:
Try all combinations of LIBCLANG_BUILD_STATIC and LLVM_ENABLE_PIC and make sure results are expected:

LIBCLANG_BUILD_STATICLLVM_ENABLE_PICLibraries built and installed
OFFONlibclang.so
OFFOFFlibclang.a
ONONlibclang.a and libclang.so
ONOFFlibclang.a

Sorry for the delayed review here.

I'm not the biggest fan of this cos it's encoding knowledge of llvm_add_library's internal behavior (that it creates a *_static target if both STATIC and SHARED are passed) inside add_clang_library, so that if someone changes llvm_add_library, they might break add_clang_library without realizing it. However, it looks like a bunch of other places in the build also assume the _static suffix, so we already have that problem today, and this is fine.

Super nit: you can do list(APPEND libs ${name}_static) instead.
