Use response file when generating LLVM-C.dll

Summary

As discovered in D56774 the command line gets to long, so use a response file to give the script the libs. This change has been tested and is confirmed working for me.

Cheers, Jakob.

useless parenthesis spotted.

You should probably add the libs from the file to the one from the CLI instead of (siltently) erasing the one from CLI.

I actually tried the patch and got

CMake Error at tools/llvm-shlib/CMakeLists.txt:144 (file):
  file failed to open for writing (Invalid argument):

    C:/src/llvm/build.shlib/$(Configuration)/lib/LLVMDemangle.lib

since the whole purpose is to create llvm-c.dll for Windows, I image you have a Windows box somewhere to test this with :-)

Updated changes with comments from @serge-sans-paille, thanks!

Thanks for doing that and your patience!

Well that error message is because of me missing the file argument, now I am quite worried about $(Configuration) tho where is that coming from? :(

Ugh, I guess I have to set a windows box up. I'm doing that so that I and any of the users of my projects that uses LLVM don't have to go through the quite painful procedure of building LLVM on Windows. But yeah I was hoping nothing had broken since I last tested this.

Not tested, will address last comment and then setup something I can test this on.

I am unashamedly hard cargo-culting all cmake and python code here as I have almost zero proficiency in both. (Insert i_have_no_idea_what_i_am_doing.jpg )

Ok will change soon

Wallbraker updated this revision to Diff 182034.EditedJan 16 2019, 6:43 AM

Should address all of the comments, haven't done anything about the $(Configuration) @hans saw in the error message. Will setup something to test this.

And remove the parentheses.

Have now tested this patch and confirmed that it is working for me at least. Needed to make the libs argument optional or the python script would error out and correct splitLines to splitlines. I did not see any sign of $(Configuration) in my scripts.

@hans @serge-sans-paille So I built the package and has verified that the LLVM-C.dll is included in the package but I could not find the LLVM-C.lib file tho. After some hours of digging through the multitude of *.cmake files I have to admit defeat on how to get that in there, any pointers would be very much welcome.

if FILE_CONTENT contains space, they are going to be suppressed by file(...) unless you quote the variable.

avoid creating an extra copy using libs.extend(f.read)...)

Thanks, this should fix all concerns raised, I tested this as well and seems to work.

Still need help with shipping the LLVM-C.lib in the windows installer, while that isn't super necessary it will help people using it.

I encounter similar issue, a weird $(Configuration) appears in my build folder. The source is clone from https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project

Sorry for the Chinese error message. But all you should be aware are "警告" is "Warning", "错误" is "Error" and "失败" is "Failed"

I think this should be a related issue ,

This change is causing build failures on Windows when using Visual Studio as the generator. It would also cause the same failure on for any other generator that supports multiple configurations.

The problem is that CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR changes value based on the tool (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.13/variable/CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR.html) AND in the case of a generator that supports multiple configurations, it has a place-holder value (such as $(Configuration)) since the configuration is not known when CMake is invoked - the configuration is determined at build time.

You can look at other places in LLVM (or LLDB) where CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR is used to see a couple of ways that it can be handled. For example in llvm-lit:

if(NOT "${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}" STREQUAL ".")
  foreach(BUILD_MODE ${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES})
    string(REPLACE ${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR} ${BUILD_MODE} bi ${LIT_BASE_DIR})
    set(bi "${bi}/${LIT_FILE_NAME}")
    configure_file(
      llvm-lit.in
      ${bi}
      )
  endforeach()
else()
  set(BUILD_MODE .)
  configure_file(
    llvm-lit.in
    ${LIT_BASE_DIR}/${LIT_FILE_NAME}
    )
endif()

I can help test a fix when you have one - in the mean time, this change should probably be reverted since multiple people are seeing the issue.

I've reverted this and r352250 in r352492.

Okay, I have updated the patch now with the suggestions from @stella.stamenova, thanks! Please try it out, I'm currently running a build myself using ninja to make sure that it still works.

Maybe there's something wrong with my view of this change, but the way I am seeing it, tools/llvm-shlib/CMakeLists.txt appears twice and one of the versions has LIBSFILE and the other one doesn't anymore.

The way LIBSFILE is defined, it still depends on CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR, so this won't work on Windows with VS.

Could you check whether you see the change the same way (with two tools/llvm-shlib/CMakeLists.txt) and update it, so that it's clear what the final change is?

138

There lots of duplication between the two cases, I think you can simplify this.

Refactor loop

This should fix it, doing a build now.

tools/llvm-shlib/CMakeLists.txt
136

I'm only see one, sorry, not sure what I can do to fix it. My Phabricator-fu is weak.

If I understand CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR correctly it will work, as it's only used in the single config build and in the multi-config build the builder should replace it in the call to python (modulo the one big in this current version.

138

Ah I think I see how to do it, I think, I'm not very good at CMake.

Ugh, I see some types, let me respin.

Typo fixed, I only see one llvm-shlib/CMakeLists.txt file.
