The last time someone wanted to package Zig and stumbled into the same error (see comment on https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools:compiler/llvm10), I noted that it's just calling the linker binary as library, so this might be replaced by launching the corresponding binaries. (The patch can still be found in https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/799663, though it doesn't seem to apply clean anymore. But afaics zig is still only using those very high-level functions that map the functionality of the linker binaries. [1] Also I'm not sure if the patch is production ready.) Discussed this with Andrew on IRC once, they want to have a single portable binary as compiler, ideally statically linked, which is why they're linking with lld libraries instead of invoking the binary. Which is of course a bit at odds with the philosophy of most Linux distributions. Not a problem though, Zig links with libLLVM.so just fine if we make it. But there isn't a real deep API for lld as for LLVM or Clang, so upstream seems to not bother about providing a dynamically linked version of liblld, as we'd want it here. And since we'll not get a single binary anyway, we might just not bother as well and launch the linker as a separate process.

I did some digging around the patch you have before and successfully built zig-0.9.1. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hello Aaron Puchert. I did some digging around the patch you have before and successfully built zig-0.9.1.

Good to hear! If you still have it working, would you mind submitting it into a devel repository (devel:tools:compiler might be a good candidate) and perhaps even Factory? You're not the first to run into this issue, and if it's in the repository other people could use it and don't have to run into the same issues. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1190681 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1190681#c7 --- Comment #7 from Aaron Puchert --- The signatures of the link functions changed, but you didn't change the signature of the replacement: we implement a function of type "bool (size_t, const char **, bool, void (*)(void *, const char *, size_t), void *, void *)", but we need functions of type "bool (int, const char **, bool, bool)". I was wondering why this compiles at all, but it seems the only usage is in Zig code, where the functions are declared as extern fn ZigLLDLinkCOFF(argc: c_int, argv: [*:null]const ?[*:0]const u8, can_exit_early: bool, disable_output: bool) bool; extern fn ZigLLDLinkELF(argc: c_int, argv: [*:null]const ?[*:0]const u8, can_exit_early: bool, disable_output: bool) bool; extern fn ZigLLDLinkWasm(argc: c_int, argv: [*:null]const ?[*:0]const u8, can_exit_early: bool, disable_output: bool) bool; This of course is not binary compatible with the functions that we implement. I'll see if I can fix that. I've also wondered if we can build a stub library that pretends to be liblld. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
