[LLVMdev] undefined reference to 'llvm_gcda_start_file', 'llvm_gcda_emit_arcs', etc

[Qun Fa]

Hi All,

I think Nick's suggestion is correct, my code was linked against
libprofile_rt.a, which had gcda profiling code before, but was removed
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/commit/218042a02305a3cc38d968a97ff9ecf4b4abe6ff

So, I couldn't find the correct symbols from libprofile_rt.a any more.

Now my assumption is I need to use the correct library that is provided by
compiler-rt. May I know which one?

I am building the entire llvm/clang including compiler-rt based on the
instructions given on the clang get started page (
http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html), but with CMake instead of
Makefile. But I also noticed in the compiler-rt/lib/CMakeLists.txt file, we
have the following FIXME.

# FIXME: Add support for the profile library.

So, if I want to use the correct library, do I have to switch to Makefile?
Any ideas?

Thanks very much,
Qun
