[PATCH] D28791: [compiler-rt][crt] Simple crtbegin and crtend implementation

[Kamil Rytarowski via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

krytarowski added a comment.

Is there intention to support Clang/LLVM by GLIBC/GNU developers? Unlikely (knowing FSF track of reactions against LLVM projects). There are no gcc/libgcc licensing concerns for software hosted on GLIBC (LGPLv3) with libgcc. There already does exist a functional implementation for this OS. There is no need to treat it as an issue on the Clang/LLVM side (maybe except ambitions).

In my humble opinion we shall not expand the 'vendor lock' approach of libgcc/GNU to other platforms.

There are other BSD-licensed implementations and Fuchsia can borrow the code freely.

@joerg mentioned technical issues. I would add this kind of software is implemented in rather highly OS-specific and ideally compiler-independent. In my opinion it belongs to libc.
