[LLVMdev] Linker problems with Visual Studio

[Morten Ofstad]

I finally managed to compile a working fibonacci example (using the 
interpreter, I'm still working on porting the x86 backend). The final 
problem was that I couldn't find a way to force the linker to include
the Dominators.obj file since there were no references to it. There is 
an option to the linker to stop it from stripping unreferenced code, but 
it still doesn't pull the object file in from the library unless there 
are some references.

In the end I opted for the ugly IncludeFile() trick which is used 
elsewhere in the code, I include a patch with this mail. If someone has 
any better suggestions for how to fix this, I am all ears...

The other areas which have to be resolved is the struct/class debacle 
and also the hash_map usage (I am using the Visual Studio STL library) 
-- my fix for the hash_map thing is too ugly to go in, so I won't even 
bother to submit a patch. Unfortunately I have to link LLVM with our own 
app which is using the MS STL, so resorting to using a STL library more 
similar to GCC is probably not an option.

There are some other minor things I plan to submit patches for later 
today, when I have cleaned up. If anyone else is interested in obtaining 
my VS project files, please write me an email...
