Reid Spencer | 341d714 | 2004-10-31 23:00:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 31 | <p>Amongst other things, LLVM is a toolkit for building compilers, linkers, |
| 32 | runtime executives, virtual machines, and other program execution related |
| 33 | tools. In addition to the LLVM tool set, the functionality of LLVM is |
| 34 | available through a set of libraries. To use LLVM as a toolkit for |
| 35 | constructing tools, a developer needs to understand what is contained in the |
| 36 | various libraries, what they depend on, and how to use them. This document |
| 37 | describes the contents of the libraries and how and when to use them. |

Reid Spencer | 341d714 | 2004-10-31 23:00:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 44 | <p>If you're writing a compiler, virtual machine, or any other utility based |
| 45 | on LLVM, you'll need to figure out which of the many libraries files you will |
| 46 | need to link with to be successful. An understanding of the contents of these |
| 47 | files and their inter-relationships will be useful in coming up with an optimal |
| 48 | specification for the libraries to link with. The purpose of this document is |
| 49 | to reduce some of the trial and error that the author experienced in using |
| 50 | LLVM.</p> |
| 51 | <p>LLVM produces two types of libraries: archives (ending in <tt>.a</tt>) and |
| 52 | objects (ending in <tt>.o</tt>). However, both are libraries. Libraries ending |
| 53 | in <tt>.o</tt> are known as re-linked libraries because they contain all the |
| 54 | compilation units of the library linked together as a single <tt>.o</tt> file. |
| 55 | Furthermore, many of the libraries have <em>both</em> forms of library. The |
| 56 | re-linked libraries are used whenever you want to include all symbols from the |
| 57 | library. The archive libraries are used whenever you want to only resolve |
| 58 | outstanding symbols at that point in the link without including everything in |
| 59 | the library. </p> |
| 60 | <p>When linking your tools, you will use the <tt>LLVMLIBS</tt> make variable. |
| 61 | (see the <a href="MakefileGuide.html#LLVMLIBS">Makefile Guide</a> for |
| 62 | details). This variable specifies which LLVM libraries to link into your tool |
| 63 | and the order in which they will be linked. You specify re-linked libraries by |
| 64 | naming the library without a suffix. You specify archive libraries by naming |
| 65 | the library with a <tt>.a</tt> suffix but without the <tt>lib</tt> prefix. The |
| 66 | order in which the libraries appear in the <tt>LLVMLIBS</tt> variable |
| 67 | definition is the order in which they will be linked. Getting this order |
| 68 | correct for your tool can sometimes be challenging. |
