<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If you’re building with -stdlib=libc++, the Linux toolchain (which is used for e.g. Android) prefers libc++ headers installed alongside the compiler to those in the sysroot:
<a href="https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/d5f7196feb7da50564c5ad444f5fd3fecf08f340/clang/lib/Driver/ToolChains/Linux.cpp#L892">
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/d5f7196feb7da50564c5ad444f5fd3fecf08f340/clang/lib/Driver/ToolChains/Linux.cpp#L892</a>. I have a use case where this doesn’t work: the Android NDK’s version of libc++ uses a different inline namespace, so I want to
pair it with the corresponding headers from the sysroot, even though my toolchain also contains libc++ headers (for use with other platforms).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m looking for a way to turn off searching for libc++ headers installed alongside the compiler but still search for them in the sysroot. The closest I can get right now is building with -nostdinc++ and adding
a manual -isystem for the sysroot’s libc++ header directory, but that breaks compiles that want to use -nostdinc++ themselves and specify an alternate libc++ header location (since my -isystem will always be present, so you’ll end up with two copies of the
libc++ headers in your search paths and everything will break).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I can think of two ways to accomplish this. One is to add a new flag (and I’m looking for naming suggestions for this flag) to turn off searching for libc++ headers installed alongside the compiler. The other
is to promote -cxx-isystem to a driver option, inhibit any -cxx-isystem paths from being added to the search paths when -nostdinc++ is passed, and make sure -cxx-isystem gets put on the include path before everything else (since C++ headers usually #include_next
into other system headers). What’s the best option here?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
