[cfe-users] Bitcode embedded fat iOS static library from c++ code

[Tamas Toth via cfe-users]

Hi,

I would like to create a fat iOS static library from a bunch of c++ code 
(multiple projects) with embedded bitcode. I would like to use this 
library in an Xcode workspace where bitcode is enabled. The server where 
the c++ code is being built is CentOS based. So I downloaded LLVM 4.0 
with clang. With the help of clang and other tools I'm able to compile 
the code into libraries supporting armv7 and arm64 architectures and 
create a single fat library (using libtool and lipo). Everything works 
fine until I would like to achieve a bitcode embedded library. I thought 
that the only thing I need to do is to add the -fembed-bitcode option to 
clang. But when I try to export on Mac OS X the archived workspace for 
ad-hoc distribution, I got a strange error message:

error: Failed to verify bitcode in ***.app/***:

Can anybody help what can be the error? Or my thoughts about how to 
build a bitcode embedded static library are wrong? Any help is really 
appreciated!
