llvm-config: fix --libs on Linux
ClosedPublic

Authored by rivanvx on Feb 16 2016, 11:24 AM.

Details

Summary

llvm-config --libs does not produce correct output since commit r260263
(llvm-config: Add preliminary Windows support) changed naming format of
the libraries. This patch updates llvm-config to recognize new naming
format and output correct linker flags.

I suspect that this does not do the right thing on Windows. Now --libs prints Unix style -l options, instead of paths as it was made to do in the revision you're pointing at.

Ehsan, what did you intend the behavior of --libs on Windows to be? We definitely want to use -l flags on Unix, like we did before.

It does not do anything special on any OS, but I guess it should. I'm happy to adjust it for Windows if you give me the specification.

Handle Windows first, output full path. Elsewhere, output -l and library name.

rnk, ehsan, any comments? Anything else I should do?

The right behavior on Windows would be to print the path to the library so that the linker picks it up, as this patch does.

Nit: you can hoist this own into the else branch.

672–677

This will do the wrong thing on Cygwin/Mingw (see the code around line 359.)

I think you should check isWindowsMSVCEnvironment() here instead.

LGTM!
It fixed the problem that our project could not built with llvm 3.9.
Hope this fix can merge in soon.
Thanks.

@rnk can you re-review?
