Thread: Any interest in buildfarm a member using Apple's llvm-gcc-4.2 or clang?

Any interest in buildfarm a member using Apple's llvm-gcc-4.2 or clang?

From
Robert Creager
Date:
I'll set up one or  two more 'machines' if there is interest (Snow  
Leopard)

% /Developer/usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 --version
i686-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc.  
build 5646) (LLVM build 2118)

llvm-gcc-4.2 currently fails during check for the known directory  
problem under Snow Leopard as the regular gcc does.  I tried HEAD,  
REL8_4_STABLE and REL8_3_STABLE.

% /Developer/usr/bin/clang  --version
clang version 1.0 (http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/tags/Apple/clang-23 exported 
)

clang fails to compile on HEAD, so I did no more checking on it.

The more, the merrier :)

LLVM, perhaps, though are you sure that llvm and gcc aren't the
same thing under the hood on SL?  I thought I'd read somewhere that
Apple had turned gcc into a wrapper around the llvm code generator.

I think that whatever version Apple is shipping on the DVD is probably
not going to be very useful for us.  Grzegorz Jaskiewicz was using
bleeding-edge clang sources and still hitting bugs.  Putting it in the
buildfarm might be a good idea in a few more months, when more-stable
clang versions are available.
        regards, tom lane

Well, the versions reported are definitely different.

% gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)

Robert@dhcp-ubrm05-218-133:/usr/local/src/build-farm-3.2_llvm
% /Developer/usr/llvm-gcc-4.2/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 --version
i686-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc.  
build 5646) (LLVM build 2118)

And the llvm tools you only get with the Xcode install, and the sizes  
of the two gcc compilers are very different.

And, the llvm version takes the -flto, where the normal one doesn't:

/Developer/usr/llvm-gcc-4.2/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 -flto main.c -o main_llvm
/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -flto main.c -o main_gcc
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-flto"
make: *** [main_gcc] Error 1
       -flto           Enable LLVM Link Time Optimization.

And, the binaries are different for the same simple program.

So, I'm convinced they are different (where I wasn't sure before).

Later,
Rob
