Summary: As of now, Polly uses llvm-config to set up LLVM dependencies in an out-of-tree build. This is problematic for two reasons: 1) Right now, in-tree and out-of-tree builds in fact do different things. E.g., in an in-tree build, libPolly depends on a handful of LLVM libraries, while in an out-of-tree build it depends on all of them. This means that we often need to treat both paths seperately. 2) I'm specifically unhappy with the way libPolly is linked right now, because it just blindly links against all the LLVM libs. That doesn't make a lot of sense. For instance, one of these libs is LLVMTableGen, which contains a command line definition of a -o option. This means that I can not link an out-of-tree libPolly into a tool which might want to offer a -o option as well. This patch (mostly) drop the use of llvm-config in favor of LLVMs exported cmake package. However, building Polly with unittests requires access to the gtest sources (in the LLVM source tree). If we're building against an LLVM installation, this source tree is unavailable and must specified. I'm using llvm-config to provide a default in this case.

Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM ----------------------------------------- http://polly.llvm.org/ Polly uses a mathematical representation, the polyhedral model, to represent and transform loops and other control flow structures. Using an abstract representation it is possible to reason about transformations in a more general way and to use highly optimized linear programming libraries to figure out the optimal loop structure. These transformations can be used to do constant propagation through arrays, remove dead loop iterations, optimize loops for cache locality, optimize arrays, apply advanced automatic parallelization, drive vectorization, or they can be used to do software pipelining.
