[HIP] Instruct lld to go through all archives
ClosedPublic

Authored by scchan on Jun 5 2023, 4:00 PM.

Details

Summary

Add the --whole-archive flag when linking HIP programs to instruct lld
to go through every archive library to link in all the kernel functions
(entry pointers to the GPU program); otherwise, lld may skip some
library files if there are no more symbols that need to be resolved.

Better move this before line 155 to allow users to override this option.

Please add a comment that the device linker will not try to resolve a device variable or kernel that is referenced by a host object in the archive which in turn is referenced by a host object not in the archive, therefore --whole-archive is needed.

Though not strictly required, it's usually better to end --whole-archive with a pairing --no-whole-archive.

For complete sentences in comments, capitalize and add a full stop.

Actually, this statement is self-explanatory and I don't think a comment is useful.
