Fix -gz=zlib options for linker
ClosedPublic

Authored by yaxunl on Sep 8 2020, 12:05 PM.

Details

Summary

gcc translates -gz=zlib to --compress-debug-options=zlib for both assembler and linker
but clang only does this for assembler.

The linker needs --compress-debug-options=zlib option to compress the debug sections
in the generated executable or shared library.

Due to this bug, -gz=zlib has no effect on the generated executable or shared library.

This patch fixes that.

This can be merged into compress.c
You may delete some -c from compress.c to exercise the linker stage.

You can delete -fintegrated-as since it is the default for most targets/OSes.

39

If the user sets CLANG_DEFAULT_LINKER to a string not containing "ld", this line will not match. Matching a different substring on the linker command line can be more robust, e.g. "-m" "elf_x86_64"

43

Delete -fintegrated-as if it is the default on amdgcn-amd-amdhsa

"-m" "elf_x86_64" only works for x86_64, but we also have amdgcn target.

I will just remove "ld".

clang-driver is for some legacy cygwin stuff. It should not be needed.

Does --offload-arch=gfx906 have special requirement that the backend is needed? For most other driver tests x86-registered-target is not needed to test %clang -target x86_64

13

Do the two patterns require CHECK-DAG?

15

This ".*ld.*" needs to be removed as well

This may be unnecessary. I will remove it.

On the other hand, I think it requires zlib, so I will add zlib.

Also I separated the test for target amdgcn from compress.c since it requires amdgpu-registered-target.

13

only the middle two steps need CHECK-DAG

LG. clang-driver can still be removed

15

Since this is no longer a regex you can remove the surround {{ }}

This broke the PPC LLD bot and the failure has been ignored for 4 days. I believe it should be fixed with 3bc3983f229.

Sorry I thought I have fixed that but forgot to check. Not sure if this will cause regression on cygwin or msvc. If so pls let me know. Thanks.

I just ran into this issue on FreeBSD, bug report in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=253942

clang/lib/Driver/ToolChains/FreeBSD.cpp needs updating for this change also
