 artemist | Is there a reason we build compiler-rt twice on FreeBSD? Upstream clang hardcodes `-lgcc --as-needed -lgcc_s --no-as-needed` link arguments so the `libclang_rt.builtins` library should never be used | 17:52:02 |
| artemist | We provide both libgcc.a and libgcc_s.so in freebsd.libc and they're better on some architectures because they're built with FreeBSD headers, e.g. they're required unless we patch out CPU feature detection on aarch64-freebsd | 18:03:30 |

 John Ericson | @artemist:mildlyfunctional.gay: oops I thought I added a thing so we only built it once? | 17:30:01 |
| John Ericson | Before I merged the PR? | 17:30:31 |

| John Ericson | I noticed this failure building freebsd static, I think it's new because got almost the same failure with OpenBSD and that was working a few weeks ago | 17:32:01 |
| John Ericson | (also with LLVM 18) | 17:32:09 |
| artemist | We might just want to add FreeBSD headers to compiler-rt, then remove it from freebsd.libc | 18:36:56 |
| artemist | We'd need to add another link to libcompiler_rt.a, but that's not a huge problem | 18:37:16 |
| John Ericson | artemist: well with the current tricks we might already be using the LLD cyclic linking? | 18:48:41 |
| John Ericson | I will try to see what changed in recently | 18:48:48 |
| John Ericson | It is not good to rely on undefined symbols, but I am curious | 18:49:05 |
| artemist | static_assert is defined in FreeBSD headers to _Static_assert, which is a clang keyword, so it shouldn't mean anything for linking | 18:53:31 |
| artemist | I've mostly been messing with compiler-rt becuase libc on aarch64-freebsd needs compiler-rt, but compiler-rt doesn't require libc | 18:54:16 |
| John Ericson | artemist: will I see your compiler-rt work if I go look at open PRs? | 18:58:04 |
| John Ericson | ...I guess that ' | 18:58:13 |

| John Ericson | * ...I guess that's something I can answer myself :) | 18:58:26 |
| artemist | No, it's part of aarch64 stuff that needs cleanup | 18:58:31 |
| artemist | I can try to split it into its own PR today though | 18:59:11 |
| John Ericson | OK | 18:59:57 |
| John Ericson | I just saw your 1 open PR and merged it, btw | 19:00:04 |
| artemist | Thanks, that's a dependency for aarch64 | 19:08:09 |
| artemist | hm... We can't entirely remove compiler-rt from FreeBSD libc because libgcc_s uses some files from compiler_rt and some files from outside it. We could remove llvmPackages.compiler-rt but I don''t know if the llvm maintainers want that | 20:28:58 |
| artemist | Optimally we'd figure out how to use llvmPackages.compiler_rt for sanitizers but not builtins, though I'm not sure if all the FreeBSD sanitizer stuff is properly upstream | 20:36:03 |
