Fix `llvm-config` to adapt to the install environment.

Summary

This patch does a couple of things:

  • Adds a new argument --shared-mode which accepts a list of components and prints whether or not the provided components need to be linked statically or shared.
  • Fixes --libnames when CMake BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is used.
  • Fixes --libnames, --libs, and --libfiles for dylib when static components aren't installed.
  • Fixes --libnames, --libs, --libfiles, and --components to use LLVM_DYLIB_COMPONENTS as the component manifest for dylib linking.
  • Uses the host platform's usual convention for filename extensions and such, instead of always defaulting to Unix-izms.

Because I don't own a Mac, I am not able to test the Mac platform dependent stuff locally. If someone would be willing to run a build for me on their machine (unless there's a better option), I'd appreciate it.

Sorry for the delay. Overall the changes look good. The configuration of BuildVariables.inc looks right.

I built and tested on OS X and there is a problem. For versioned shared libraries, CMake places the version number before the .dylib suffix, as in libLLVMObject.3.8.0svn.dylib instead of libLLVMObject.dylib.3.8.0svn. The --libfiles output currently constructs the versioned names with the components in the wrong order. On Linux the order is correct and the named files exist.

Thanks for running a build! Does Darwin's autoconf do the same? (EDIT: grammars)

With autoconf the library name is libLLVM-3.8svn.dylib and there is a symlink called libLLVM-3.8.0svn.dylib that points to it (which seems reversed, BTW). However, since LLVM_ENABLE_SHARED is hard-coded to OFF for autoconf builds (by this patch) the --libfiles output does not list the dylib anyway.

Mac puts the package revision before the extension.

After a minor fix this now compiles and gives the proper --libfiles paths on OS X with both CMake and autoconf builds.

Minor fix needed to compile:

-  std::string DyLibName = SharedPrefix + "LLVM";
+  std::string DyLibName = SharedPrefix.str() + "LLVM";

Fix compile issue.

Odd that I did not catch that locally.

We've made some changes recently to LLVM's CMake usage to make it match the output of our autoconf build. The changes were reviewed here: D13841

These changes aren't ideal for a number of reasons, but they make your patches not work correctly on trunk. The main changes are:

  • The version is only part of the library path on Linux
  • The version is always before the shared library extension (meaning libLLVM-3.8.so not the more-typical libLLVM.so.3.8)

Fixes for recent trunk changes.

I applied the updated changes on top of r252467 and built all combinations of:

  • OS: Linux / OS X
  • Build tool: autoconf / cmake
  • --enable-shared (LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB): ON / OFF

I also tried removing the .a files so that llvm-config would switch to reporting the single shared library instead of the components.

All worked as expected.

The behavior should be controlled not by target, but by host. Fixed in r260343.
Consider if host=linux, target=i686-win32.

llvm-config is a tool for host's libraries, regardless of the target.

With cross compilation of clang/llvm, Both llvm-config (host's, aka
configure's --build) and llvm-config.exe should be built.

It is using i686-mingw32-g++ on linux.
