[LLVMdev] Stuck on linking llc on ARM

[陳韋任 (Wei-Ren Chen)]

Hi David,

> |  David, do you build LLVM/Clang in what mode?

  Now I use "--enable-optimized" option to make a Release+Asserts build,
LLVM/Clang get built finally...

Definitely don't build with debug symbols unless you are going to use them (which sometimes is important for use). I've also wrapped the linker to ensure only 1 instance is running at any given time. With that linking clang _just_ squeezes under the OOM threshold. As regards configure for a combined llvm+clant tree, I'm using

  Thanks for the tip.

  Looks *not* out of memory, the ld (collect2) just keeps running, but
llc never get linked.
