[cmake] Hardcode some `check_include_file` checks (#104706)
This patch removes 11 `check_include_file` invocations from
configuration phase of LLVM subproject on most of the platforms,
hardcoding the results. Fallback is left for platforms that we don't
document as supported or that are not detectable via
`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME`, e.g. z/OS.
This patch reduces configuration time on Linux by 10%, going from 44.7
seconds down to 40.6 seconds on my Debian machine (ramdisk, `cmake
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;lldb;clang-tools-extra"
-DLLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES="libunwind;libcxx;libcxxabi"
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DLLVM_OPTIMIZED_TABLEGEN=ON
-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="X86" -DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN=ON
-DLLVM_ENABLE_LIBCXX=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DLLDB_ENABLE_PYTHON=ON
~/endill/llvm-project/llvm`).
In order to determine the values to hardcode, I prepared the following
header:
```cpp
#include <dlfcn.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <fenv.h>
#include <mach/mach.h>
#include <malloc/malloc.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sysexits.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main() {}
```
and tried to compile it on the oldest versions of platforms that are
still supported (which was problematic to determine sometimes): macOS
12, Cygwin, DragonFly BSD 6.4.0, FreeBSD 13.3, Haiku R1 beta 4, RHEL
8.10 as a glibc-based Linux, Alpine 3.17 as musl-based Linux, NetBSD 9,
OpenBSD 7.4, Solaris 11.4, Windows SDK 10.0.17763.0, which corresponds
to Windows 10 1809 and is the oldest Windows 10 SDK in Visual Studio
Installer.
For platforms I don't have access to, which are AIX 7.2 TL5 and z/OS
2.4.0, I had to rely on the official documentation. I suspect that AIX
offers a better set of headers than what this PR claims, so I'm open to
input from people who have access to a live system to test it.
Similarly to AIX, I have values for z/OS compiled from the official
documentation that are not included in this patch, because apparently
upstream CMake doesn't even support z/OS, so I don't even know how to
make a place to hold those values. I see `if (ZOS)` in several places
across our CMake files, but it's a mystery to me where this variable
comes from. Input from people who have access to live z/OS instance is
welcome.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.
