I have started on the "zero to performance in rust" book. This discusses using the lld linker instead of the standard rust linker to speed up compile times. However, the book is now about...

The linker from the LLVM project lld is currently developed with new features added week by week. Its developers promise that lld is faster than ld. How does it compete compared to gold? Is lld a ...

I have a CMake project with several subprojects that create static libraries built with -flto=thin. The project has a lot of tests that are linked against the aforementioned libraries. With LTO it ...

I've been writing some x64 assembly on linux - exactly what it is is not relevant - and I've come across a strange problem. In my assembly code, I've declared printf as an external label, and call ...

I would like to make rustc use lld as a linker instead of ld in a particular crate. So I create .cargo/config in my project directory with the following: [target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] linker ...

I'm trying to compile SDL2 (https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php) using CMake with clang + lld (http://releases.llvm.org/) + mingw (https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/) headers on Window...

Trying to link a simple program using LLVM 4.0.0 release (Clang, LLD) on Mac OS Sierra. Note, this is fully achievable in Linux. My current path is prefixed with the LLVM's bin directory (i.e. /op...

I am using Clang 10 (not AppleClang) on macOS 10.15 and am trying to link with LLD by specifying -fuse-ld=lld in the CMake flags CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS. However, I am getting the following error w...

I recently discovered the LLVM's linker, lld that was praised for very fast linking. Indeed, I tested it and the results were awesome, the linking time in my case being reduced dramatically compari...

What I'm trying to achieve is to compile an GNU independent and isolated LLVM toolchain using musl as clib. Recently LLVM 4.0 has been released with lot's of new cool features, including productio...

My cpp code: int main(int argc, char** argv) {} I use the following command to compile and link it: // I want to read the result ir clang -S -emit-llvm main.cpp // I want to compile directly ...

The man for gold states: -L DIR, --library-path DIR Add directory to search path --rpath-link DIR Add DIR to link time shared library search path The man for bfd ld makes it sort of sound l...

I am working on cross compiling an experimental GNU free Linux toolchain using clang (instead of gcc), compiler-rt (instead of libgcc), libunwind (available at http://llvm.org/git/libunwind.git) (i...

In GCC, I can use the linker flags -Wl,--start-group and -Wl,--end-group to resolve linking problems with libraries that have circular dependencies. I'd like to do the same with clang, but it seems...
