I think Chris Lattner even advocated for not out-of-lining dtors just to make the vtables strong, instead using an explicit anchor. But I'm pretty ambivalent about it. In theory the style guide advocates this for build perf reasons - which would be interesting to test & see if it's actually relevant. If it's a matter of correctness/functionality as this thread seems to imply (but I haven't read it enough to really understand what's being dealt with here, to be honest) then I guess we'll have to decide on some approach... *shrug*<br><br>- Dave<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><br></div><div>Now if I compile Instructions.cpp with -Wweak-vtable, the only warnings given are:</div><div><br></div><div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><b>../include/llvm/PassSupport.h:226:8: </b><span style="color:#d53bd3"><b>warning: </b></span><b>'PassRegistrationListener' has no out-of-line virtual method definitions;</b></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><b> its vtable will be emitted in every translation unit [-Wweak-vtables]</b></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo">struct PassRegistrationListener {</div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo;color:rgb(52,189,38)"><b> ^</b></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo">In file included from ../lib/IR/Instructions.cpp:16:</div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo">In file included from ../lib/IR/LLVMContextImpl.h:19:</div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo">In file included from ../lib/IR/ConstantsContext.h:25:</div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><b>../include/llvm/Support/raw_ostream.h:321:7: </b><span style="color:#d53bd3"><b>warning: </b></span><b>'raw_pwrite_stream' has no out-of-line virtual method</b></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><b> definitions; its vtable will be emitted in every translation unit [-Wweak-vtables]</b></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo">class raw_pwrite_stream : public raw_ostream {</div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo;color:rgb(52,189,38)"><b> ^</b></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><b>../include/llvm/Support/raw_ostream.h:539:7: </b><span style="color:#d53bd3"><b>warning: </b></span><b>'buffer_ostream' has no out-of-line virtual method definitions;</b></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo"><b> its vtable will be emitted in every translation unit [-Wweak-vtables]</b></div><div style="margin:0px;font-size:11px;line-height:normal;font-family:Menlo">class buffer_ostream : public raw_svector_ostream {</div></div><div><br></div><div>However, I do wonder how useful my patch for Instructions.h (and constants.h too which needed work), when you can’t #include PassSupport without -fno-rtti.</div><div><br></div><div>So, i’l get a patch out soon to look at, but i would like to discuss whether any of you think its worth it given the other warnings which still prevent no-rtti.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Pete</div><div><div class="h5"><div><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Aug 7, 2015, at 10:54 AM, Pete Cooper via llvm-dev <<a href="mailto:llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org" target="_blank">llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><div dir="auto"><div>Sorry about this.

> There appears to be a regression in LLVM 3.7, which means that you must compile with -fno-rtti if you include llvm’s Instructions.h. The issue is that a few of the classes (ICmpInst, GetElementPtrInst and PHINode) are now defined entirely in the header, so every compilation unit that includes the header will emit them. These classes all inherit from Instruction (indirectly via CmpInst in the case of ICmpInst) and so fail to link if compiled with -fno-rtti, because they can’t find the vtable for ICmpInst.<br>
<br>
</span>I looked at the file, and this didn't seem true (e.g.<br>
GetElementPtrInst::init is still out-of-line). But then I realized you<br>
mean virtual functions, so these classes no longer have a key<br>
function.<br>
<br>
This is probably Pete's r240588. I suppose we could add key functions<br>
to these classes (even if they're not used for anything). I'm not sure<br>
how we'd prevent this from regressing though :-/<br></blockquote><div><br>In theory the LLVM style guide mandates key functions for all dynamic classes (under the claim of build performance - avoiding duplicate vtable emission, etc). We've never strongly enforced it though - if we really wanted to, we could do so as Clang has a warning that triggers whenever a vtable is emitted weakly (which is what happens when there isn't a key function).<br><br>- David<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
