rG1e03c37b97b6: Prepare Compiler-RT for GnuInstallDirs, matching libcxx, document all
Summary

This is a second attempt at D101497, which landed as
9a9bc76c0eb72f0f2732c729a460abbd5239c2e3 but had to be reverted in
8cf7ddbdd4e5af966a369e170c73250f2e3920e7.

This issue was that in the case that COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH is
empty, expressions like "${COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH}/bin" evaluated to
"/bin" not "bin" as intended and as was originally.

One solution is to make COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH always non-empty,
defaulting it to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. D99636 adopted that approach.
But, I think it is more ergonomic to allow those project-specific paths
to be relative the global ones. Also, making install paths absolute by
default inhibits the proper behavior of functions like
GNUInstallDirs_get_absolute_install_dir which make relative install
paths absolute in a more complicated way.

Given all this, I will define a function like the one asked for in
https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/19568 (and needed for a
similar use-case).


Original message:

Instead of using COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH through the CMake for
complier-rt, just use it to define variables for the subdirs which
themselves are used.

This preserves compatibility, but later on we might consider getting rid
of COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH and just changing the defaults for the
subdir variables directly.


There was a seaming bug where the (non-Apple) per-target libdir was
${target} not lib/${target}. I suspect that has to do with the docs
on COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH saying was the library dir when that's no
longer true, so I just went ahead and fixed it, allowing me to define
fewer and more sensible variables.

That last part should be the only behavior changes; everything else
should be a pure refactoring.


I added some documentation of these variables too. In particular, I
wanted to highlight the gotcha where -DSomeCachePath=... without the
:PATH will lead CMake to make the path absolute. See [1] for
discussion of the problem, and [2] for the brief official documentation
they added as a result.

[1]: https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2015-March/060204.html

[2]: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html#options

In 38b2dec37ee735d5409148e71ecba278caf0f969 the problem was somewhat
misidentified and so :STRING was used, but :PATH is better as it
sets the correct type from the get-go.


D99484 is the main thrust of the GnuInstallDirs work. Once this lands,
it should be feasible to follow both of these up with a simple patch for
compiler-rt analogous to the one for libcxx.

+1, this one works where the previous one failed for me - thanks!

I haven't followed all the intricate cmake details here so I'd prefer to leave it to @phosek to actually re-approve this, but it seems to not break things for me now at least.

The test failures seem to all be libcxx and thus presumably unrelated.

This isn't set before so it should be always empty in which case you'll end up with an absolute path (that is /${current_segment}) right? Isn't that a bug?

Fix bugs, add lots of docs

Eek! that's embarrassing. Turns out that testing with -D is more fraught than I thought, and I wasn't hitting that case. Fixed the bug and documented the -D subtlety too.

Modeled this file off libc++'s, including taking these two paragraphs. They seem appropriate enough here.

I'm not sure how appropriate this is actually since Compiler-RT is usually shipped together with the compiler, not the operating system (unlike libc++) since the LLVM and Compiler-RT ABI is tightly coupled. I'd omit this for now.

16

compiler-rt?

59

Is this what you meant here?

87

This variable is used for data files (like resources), not headers.

Fixes from comments, Thanks!

Fair enough. Removed.

16

Ah there is no such section for compiler-rt/docs. I deleted and reworded.

59

Oops. Yes.

87

Says "data" like the CMake variale description does now too.

It looks like this change broke the macho_embedded layout for Darwin's compiler-rt build, so now the clang driver isn unable to find these libraries.

I will commit a change that uses COMPILER_RT_OUTPUT_DIR again for the macho_embedded libraries.

Can you help me understand this better? COMPILER_RT_OUTPUT_LIBRARY_DIR should be defined to be the same thing unless target-specific directories are used, Is the problem in the latter case?

The problem is that Darwin was emitting macho_embedded libraries under usr/lib/clang/<version>/lib/darwin/macho_embedded, but this change moved them to usr/lib/clang/<version>/lib/macho_embedded, so now the clang driver isn't able to find them.

I think using COMPILER_RT_OUTPUT_LIBRARY_DIR is the right thing, but we still want to be compatible with the existing layout unless we change the driver. I think changing the driver might be a better approach though, so I will try that.

Sorry, I meant to say that Darwin was emitting macho_embedded libraries under usr/lib/clang/<version>/lib/macho_embedded, but this change moved them to usr/lib/clang/<version>/lib/darwin/macho_embedded, so now the clang driver isn't able to find them.

Was there supposed to be an extend_install_path call here?
