[libc++] Remap headers in the debug info when building the library (#143004) The libc++ build includes a step where headers are generated. This is required in order to preprocess some files such as the assertion handler and the __config_site header. As a result, the library is built against headers located inside the build directory, and the path to those headers is what's included in the debug information of the library. However, these headers in the build directory are usually not persistent, which means that the debug information might end up referring to headers that don't exist anymore. To solve this problem, this patch uses the -fdebug-prefix-map flag supported by Clang and GCC to remap the generated headers to the original headers in the source directory. This provides the illusion that the library was truly built against the in-source version of the headers.
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.
