clang-sys didn't support llvm80 when gecko@ switched to it. I'm not sure myself why but maybe bindgen uses a subset of bindings that're stable. >> Maybe add "www/firefox needs libclang.so since 56.0 > Looking at my currently running firefox with lsof, I do not see > libclang being used.

See https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/53d93ee3ad84 While the commit was backed out the configure check wasn't, so maybe the intent is to reland in future. > And if it does something good, llvm-objdump is already part of base > (at least, on this 12.0-STABLE laptop I'm trying to dress up)... llvm-objdump is only installed when src.conf(5) has WITH_CLANG_EXTRAS. Ports have to build against default base configuration. _______________________________________________ freebsd-gecko@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-gecko To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-gecko-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
