See https://reviews.llvm.org/D58418#1577670. More generally it would appear for any static library with a PRIVATE dependency though.

I guess an alternative would be to use the LINK_LIBRARIES property (which should be free of generator expressions, I believe) to propagate dependencies instead of INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES, and just assume that no one is gonna set an INTERFACE dependency on a static library. (Supporting PRIVATE dependencies on a static library definitely seems more valuable than supporting INTERFACE dependencies.)

One of the benefits of the object library approach for generating the clang dylib is that it was compatible with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS. We had lots of issues with libLLVM where people using BUILD_SHARED_LIBS would make changes that broke it, so I was trying to make the clang dylib in a way that it could always be enabled.

Do we know where the nested generator expression was coming from?

Oops, sorry about the breakage.

Chris, aren't BUILD_SHARED_LIBS and the combined Clang dylib incompatible? Should we disable building the latter if the former is set?

[clang-shlib] Fix clang-shlib for PRIVATE dependencies

Any static library with a PRIVATE dependency ends up with a
$<LINK_ONLY:...> generator expression in its INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES,
which won't be evaluated by the $<TARGET_PROPERTY:...>, so we end up
with an unevaluated generator expression in the generated build file and
Ninja chokes on the dollar sign. Just use the static library directly
for its dependencies instead of trying to propagate dependencies
manually.

This seems to break a -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS build for me. It fails at
the point of linking lib/libclang_shared.so.9svn with errors like:
