[libc] Disable `-ffreestanding` and `-fno-builtin` on the GPU build (#97636) Summary: This patch removed the `-ffreestanding` and `-fno-builtin` flags from the publically installed version of the GPU library. The presense of `-fno-builtin` caused issues that prevented all inlining in the GPU C library, see https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-libc-ffreestanding-fno-builtin/75883. Previously, I attempted to fix this by loosening the restriction that `"no-builtins"` functions cannot be inlined into functions without that attribute. However, that opened up a lot of extra issues that stalled that approach. This patch instead removes that and instead passes `-fno-builtin-<xyz>` for the few calls that are known to be problematic. I believe this works in general as the GPU backends do not emit any libcalls and the implementations of most of these simply reduce to builtins right now. This is a very useful patch as we can now actually inline calls.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
