[llvm-dev] LLJIT: __{math}_finite symbols not resolved ?

Fri Oct 9 17:09:18 PDT 2020

Hi Jean-Michaël,

Sorry -- I misread your email earlier:

 When ran from *within the container* it works.

Ahh -- I should be looking for success here. I see why the failure is
happening: The testcase doesn't check errors or expected values. You can't
ignore those: They have embedded calls to abort in their destructor if you
ignore them. For the purpose of writing minimal tests you can always wrap
your calls in 'cantFail'. E.g.:

auto JIT_e = cantFail(llvm::orc::LLJITBuilder().create());

That will strip Expected<T> / Error return types (to T/void), asserting
that the value is success in each case.

Once I make those changes I'm seeing the test pass in my Arch Linux
container. Could you share the bitcode that is failing for you? That will
help me pin down where things are going off the rails (or failing to go off
the rails) with my setup.

-- Lang.
