[LLVMdev] [lld] lld build needs to have flags that specify what flavor/targets to build ? (original) (raw)

Shankar,

Can you give provide a scenario where you want this? I’m not sure what you want here.

Hi,

I think lld needs to have an infrastructure as part of the build process to build specific flavors and specific targets. This sounds like you want config-time choices (e.g. build a linker to only support ELF/x86 such as for a JIT).

For this I was thinking that the Registry expand to consider flavors and targets that are part of the build process. So each flavor/target would register and the Driver would walk through the list of handlers to check if there is a handler defined for that flavor/target. This sounds like you want everything decided at runtime (e.g. all flavors registers all readers).
