This reverts commit d763c6e5e2d0a6b34097aa7dabca31e9aff9b0b6. Adds the patch by @hans from https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62719 This patch fixes the Windows build. d763c6e5e2d0a6b34097aa7dabca31e9aff9b0b6 reverted the reviews D144509 [CMake] Bumps minimum version to 3.20.0. This partly undoes D137724. This change has been discussed on discourse https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-upgrading-llvms-minimum-required-cmake-version/66193 Note this does not remove work-arounds for older CMake versions, that will be done in followup patches. D150532 [OpenMP] Compile assembly files as ASM, not C Since CMake 3.20, CMake explicitly passes "-x c" (or equivalent) when compiling a file which has been set as having the language C. This behaviour change only takes place if "cmake_minimum_required" is set to 3.20 or newer, or if the policy CMP0119 is set to new. Attempting to compile assembly files with "-x c" fails, however this is workarounded in many cases, as OpenMP overrides this with "-x assembler-with-cpp", however this is only added for non-Windows targets. Thus, after increasing cmake_minimum_required to 3.20, this breaks compiling the GNU assembly for Windows targets; the GNU assembly is used for ARM and AArch64 Windows targets when building with Clang. This patch unbreaks that. D150688 [cmake] Set CMP0091 to fix Windows builds after the cmake_minimum_required bump The build uses other mechanism to select the runtime.

Examples
This directory contains a few example programs which illustrate how one can set up their own projects to use LLVM's libc, either as an overlay or as the only libc in their projects. See the the usage mode document for more information about the different modes in which one can build and use the libc.
Building the Examples
Each example has its own directory which contain the source code and the CMake
build set up. To build an example, create a directory named build
in the
example's directory:
cd <example directory>
mkdir build
cd build
Each example can be built to use the libc in either the overlay mode or the full build mode. The CMake configure step differs slightly depending on the mode you want to use the libc in.
Building against an overlay libc
Before you can link an example against the overlay libc, you will have to
install it. See the documentation of the overlay mode
to learn how to install the libc's overlay static archive named libllvmlibc.a
.
Once installed, to build an example against it, you have specify the directory
in which the static archive is installed with the option
LIBC_OVERLAY_ARCHIVE_DIR
:
cmake ../ -G <GEN> \
-DLIBC_OVERLAY_ARCHIVE_DIR=<dir in which libc is installed>
Next, if Ninja
is used for <GEN>
, you can build the example as follows:
ninja <example name>
Building against a full libc
Before you can link an example against the full libc, you will have to first
install it. See the documentation of the full build mode
to learn how to install a full libc along with the other LLVM toolchain pieces
like clang
, lld
and compiler-rt
. The CMake build for the examples will
assume that you have all of these components installed in a special sysroot
(see decription of the --sysroot
option
here.) Once you
have installed them, you have to inform CMake that we are linking against the
full libc as follows:
cmake ../ -G <GEN> -DLIBC_FULLBUILD=ON \
-DCMAKE_SYSROOT=<SYSROOT> \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=<SYSROOT>/bin/clang \
-DCMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE=STATIC_LIBRARY
<SYSROOT>
is the path to the sysroot directory you have set up while
installing the full libc. The option
-DCMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE=STATIC_LIBRARY
tells CMake to not attempt
linking full executables against shared libraries. We have to use this as LLVM's
libc does not yet have support for shared libraries and dynamic linking. After
the above cmake
command, assuming Ninja
was used for <GEN>
, you can build
the example as follows:
ninja <example name>
