<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi Emmanuel,<div><br></div><div>I have filed <a href="http://llvm.org/PR45822">http://llvm.org/PR45822</a> to track any COMDAT support work.</div><div><br></div><div>For the next few weeks at least I will be focused on removable code and other features. As I've noted in the bug report it's probably not worth trying to implement this until removable code lands as there will be a lot of churn in Core.cpp until then. If you're interested in working on this though I would recommend starting by taking a look at how JITDylib::defineImpl currently uses SymbolFlagsMap to decide which definitions to keep/discard. That's the logic we will need to generalize to support COMDATs. </div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Lang.</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, May 5, 2020 at 11:20 PM Emmanuel Roche <<a href="mailto:roche.emmanuel@gmail.com">roche.emmanuel@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello Lang,<div><br></div><div>Good work!

[I mean, if you change the default, this might then break previously working code that was based on mingw for instance... But not sure if this should be a concern or not for a not yet released version of LLVM ;-)]</div><div><br></div><div>> I think that anything that llvm-link can merge should, in theory, be safe to add to the JIT. This actually sounds like a bug. Are you able to share the full modules that you were merging?</div><div><br></div><div>Initially, the test I made on this point was using the Lest test framework as described in my post, but your feedback above got me thinking, and I could actually come up with a more simple setup without any C++ library dependency: this new test is simply based on a couple of C++ functions that are using exceptions. I used the attached lua script "exception3.lua" to generate the bitcode files and load the corresponding modules [of course I don't expect you to run lua scripts, but I thought that this could help understanding the code generation context anyway]. So with that script I generated the test_func1.bc/test_func2.bc/test_func1_and_func2.bc and the corresponding .ll file (generated from the .bc files using llvm-dis): all those files are attached to this email too.</div><div><br></div><div>=> So, I can load for instance the module corresponding to test_func1.bc in my main JITDylib, but then, if I try to load the test_func2 IR module in the same Dylib, I get the following error:</div><div><br></div><b>Duplicate definition of symbol '??_7exception@std@@6B@'</b><div><br></div><div>In all the .ll files you will find multiple references of that symbol... but unfortunately, my skills won't get me any further than that [=> ie.

There will probably be more before LLVM 11 is released, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel. I think the Right Way to run initializers in a JITDylib is to treat it as equivalent to a dlopen operation (with extra allowances for the fact that new initializers can be added to a JITDylib at runtime). This is what the LLJIT::initialize method is doing. Now we just need to generalize it to support out-of-process JITs. That will at least require a new remote-target abstraction, and an RPC implementation for testing in-tree.</div><div><br></div><div>Regarding emulated TLS deactivation: I've never looking into how/whether this works on Windows.
