DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
2003-09-25 19:10:25 +00:00
|
|
|
The gccld utility takes a set of LLVM bytecode files and links them together
|
|
|
|
into a single LLVM bytecode file. The output bytecode file can be another
|
|
|
|
bytecode library or an executable bytecode program. Using additional options,
|
|
|
|
gccld is able to produce native code executables.
|

|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The gccld utility is primarily used by the GCC front end, and as such, attempts
|
|
|
|
to mimic the interface provided by the default system linker so that it can act
|
|
|
|
as a "drop-in" replacement.

<h4>
|
|
|
|
Search Order
|
|
|
|
</h4>
|
|
|
|
When looking for objects specified on the command line, gccld will search for
|
|
|
|
the object first in the current directory and then in the directory specified
|
|
|
|
by LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH. If it cannot find the object, it fails.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
When looking for a library specified with the -l option, gccld first attempts
|
|
|
|
to load a file with that name from the current directory. If that fails, it
|
|
|
|
looks for lib<library>.bc, lib<library>.a, or
|
|
|
|
lib<library>.so, in that order, in each directory added to the library
|
|
|
|
search path with the -L option. These directories are searched in order they
|
|
|
|
were specified. If the library cannot be located, then gccld looks in the
|
|
|
|
directory specified by the LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH environment variable. If it
|
|
|
|
does not find lib<library>.[bc | a | so] there, it fails.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The -L option is global. It does not matter where it is specified in the list
|
|
|
|
of command line arguments; the directory is simply added to the search path and
|
|
|
|
is applied to all libraries, preceding or succeeding, in the command line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
|
|
Link order
|
|
|
|
</h4>
|
|
|
|
All object files are linked first in the order they were specified on the
|
|
|
|
command line. All library files are linked next. Some libraries may not be
|
|
|
|
linked into the object program; see below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
|
|
Library Linkage
|
|
|
|
</h4>
|
|
|
|
Object files and static bytecode objects are always linked into the output
|
|
|
|
file. Library archives (.a files) load only the objects within the archive
|
|
|
|
that define symbols needed by the output file. Hence, libraries should be
|
|
|
|
listed after the object files and libraries which need them; otherwise, the
|
|
|
|
library may not be linked in, and the dependent library will not have its
|
|
|
|
undefined symbols defined.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
|
|
Native code generation
|
|
|
|
</h4>
|
|
|
|
The gccld program has limited support for native code generation.
