For reference, I know of four ways that LLVM's libunwind is currently linked
into programs:
- Fuchsia/Windows (i.e. Clang's default behavior): it's part of libc++, e.g.:
- Fuchsia:
-
`fuchsia/prebuilt/third_party/clang/linux-x64/lib/x86_64-unknown-fuchsia/c++/libc++.so`
is `INPUT(libc++.so.2 -lunwind -lc++abi)`.
-
`fuchsia/prebuilt/third_party/clang/linux-x64/lib/x86_64-unknown-fuchsia/c++/libc++.a`
is an archive that contains the libunwind object files.
- In https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/releases/tag/20201020:
- `llvm-mingw\x86_64-w64-mingw32\bin\libc++.dll` uses `_Unwind_Resume` from
libunwind.dll
- `llvm-mingw\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib\libc++.dll.a` also seems to import
`_Unwind_Resume` from libunwind.dll
- `llvm-mingw\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib\libc++.a` has the libunwind object
files in it
- FreeBSD: libclang_rt.builtins and libunwind are repackaged into libraries
that look like libgcc, linked implicitly.
- Darwin: it's part of libSystem, linked implicitly.
- crosstool in google3: I think this build system is passing
--unwindlib=libunwind to the driver.
The Android team's LLVM build is used to target several OS's: host/glibc Linux,
Windows, Darwin, and Android. At some point, we'd also like Android NDK to rely
on the unwinder exported from libc.so (when the API level is high enough),
which prevents us from using Clang's `CLANG_DEFAULT_UNWINDLIB` config setting.
Even for C programs, the unwinder has at least a couple of uses I know of:
- `_Unwind_Backtrace`
- `__attribute__((cleanup))` with `-fexceptions`
I don't really know how important these use cases are, or whether there are
other important use cases I'm not thinking of. I'd prefer to keep linking the
unwinder implicitly.
See D57128 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D57128> and D59109
<https://reviews.llvm.org/D59109>.
I think the Android team is happy with this driver change, though, so I expect
I'll push it next week.
