[llvm-dev] Ubuntu LLVM packages incompatible with clang built projects? (original) (raw)

Hi folks,

Not sure if this is the right mailing list target, but I'm trying out the new LLVM 7.0 packages found at http://apt.llvm.org by porting over an existing LLVM 6.0 project of ours to the new version. In doing so, I found that the executable always segfaulted at the same spot with no explanation:

0x0000000000fefe33 in llvm::RegisterTargetMachinellvm::X86TargetMachine::Allocator(llvm::Target const&, llvm::Triple const&, llvm::StringRef, llvm::StringRef, llvm::TargetOptions const&, llvm::Optional<llvm::R eloc::Model>, llvm::Optionalllvm::CodeModel::Model, llvm::CodeGenOpt::Level, bool) ()

This happens if I build my project and link it against LLVM 7.0 with either clang++ 6.1 or clang++ 7.0. This does not happen if I build my project with g++ 8.

I have also confirmed that building LLVM 7.0 with clang++ and then using that private build of the libraries fixes the issue.

To summarize, it seems that there's an ABI incompatibility introduced somewhere, which means LLVM 7.0 compiled with gcc can only be used by other projects also built with gcc. Is this something that's being investigated and to be resolved as a fix in 7.1? If not, is there any official release note that's remarking on this incompatibility?

Thanks, Kern -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/attachments/20180927/96df4af4/attachment.html>
