HIP non-RDC: enable new offload driver on Windows via linker wrapper (#167918) Use clang linker wrapper to device-link and embed HIP fat binary directly. Match CUDA non-RDC flow in new driver by producing .hipfb like .fatbin. Previously, llvm offload binary is used to package the device IR's and embed them in the host object file, then clang linker wrapper is used with each host object file to extract device IR's, perform device linking, bundle code objects into a fat binary, wrap it in a host object file, then merge it with the original host object by the host linker with '-r' option. However, the host linker in MSVC toolchain does not support '-r' option. The new approach still package the device IR's with llvm offload binary, but instead of embed it in a host object, it is passed to clang linker wrapper directly, where device IR's are extracted and linked, fat binary is generated, then embeded in the host object directly. Compared with the old offload driver, this approach can parallelize the device linking for different GPU's by using the parallelization feature of clang linker wrapper. Fixes: SWDEV-565994
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.
