     84   <p>This document provides <em>usage</em> information about the LLVM makefile 
     85   system. While loosely patterned after the BSD makefile system, LLVM has taken 
     86   a departure from BSD in order to implement additional features needed by LLVM.
     87   Although makefile systems such as automake were attempted at one point, it
     88   has become clear that the features needed by LLVM and the Makefile norm are 
     89   too great to use a more limited tool. Consequently, LLVM requires simply GNU 
     90   Make 3.79, a widely portable makefile processor. LLVM unabashedly makes heavy 
     91   use of the features of GNU Make so the dependency on GNU Make is firm. If 
     92   you're not familiar with <tt>make</tt>, it is recommended that you read the 
     93   <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html">GNU Makefile 
     94   Manual</a>.</p>
     95   <p>While this document is rightly part of the 
     96   <a href="ProgrammersManual.html">LLVM Programmer's Manual</a>, it is treated
     97   separately here because of the volume of content and because it is often an
     98   early source of bewilderment for new developers.</p>

    106   <p>The LLVM Makefile System is the component of LLVM that is responsible for
    107   building the software, testing it,  generating distributions, checking those
    108   distributions, installing and uninstalling, etc. It consists of a several
    109   files throughout the source tree. These files and other general concepts are
    110   described in this section.</p>
    111 
    112 <!-- ======================================================================= -->
    113 <h3><a name="projects">Projects</a></h3>
    114 <div>
    115   <p>The LLVM Makefile System is quite generous. It not only builds its own
    116   software, but it can build yours too. Built into the system is knowledge of
    117   the <tt>llvm/projects</tt> directory. Any directory under <tt>projects</tt>
    118   that has both a <tt>configure</tt> script and a <tt>Makefile</tt> is assumed
    119   to be a project that uses the LLVM Makefile system.  Building software that
    120   uses LLVM does not require the LLVM Makefile System nor even placement in the
    121   <tt>llvm/projects</tt> directory. However, doing so will allow your project
    122   to get up and running quickly by utilizing the built-in features that are used
    123   to compile LLVM. LLVM compiles itself using the same features of the makefile
    124   system as used for projects.</p>
    125   <p>For complete details on setting up your projects configuration, simply
    126   mimic the <tt>llvm/projects/sample</tt> project or for further details, 
    127   consult the <a href="Projects.html">Projects.html</a> page.</p>

    131 <h3><a name="varvalues">Variable Values</a></h3>
    132 <div>
    133   <p>To use the makefile system, you simply create a file named 
    134   <tt>Makefile</tt> in your directory and declare values for certain variables. 
    135   The variables and values that you select determine what the makefile system
    136   will do. These variables enable rules and processing in the makefile system
    137   that automatically Do The Right Thing&trade;.

    143   <p>Setting variables alone is not enough. You must include into your Makefile
    144   additional files that provide the rules of the LLVM Makefile system. The

    169     <li>It includes the project's configuration makefile to obtain values

    172     <li>It specifies any other (static) values that are needed throughout the

    222   <p>This section provides some examples of the different kinds of modules you
    223   can build with the LLVM makefile system. In general, each directory you 
    224   provide will build a single object although that object may be composed of
    225   additionally compiled components.</p>
    226 
    227 <!-- ======================================================================= -->
    228 <h3><a name="libraries">Libraries</a></h3>
    229 <div>
    230   <p>Only a few variable definitions are needed to build a regular library.
    231   Normally, the makefile system will build all the software into a single
    232   <tt>libname.o</tt> (pre-linked) object. This means the library is not
    233   searchable and that the distinction between compilation units has been
    234   dissolved. Optionally, you can ask for a shared library (.so) or archive
    235   library (.a) built.  Archive libraries are the default. For example:</p>
    236   <pre><tt>
    237       LIBRARYNAME = mylib
    238       SHARED_LIBRARY = 1
    239       ARCHIVE_LIBRARY = 1
    240   </tt></pre>
    241   <p>says to build a library named "mylib" with both a shared library 
    242   (<tt>mylib.so</tt>) and an archive library (<tt>mylib.a</tt>) version. The
    243   contents of all the
    244   libraries produced will be the same, they are just constructed differently.
    245   Note that you normally do not need to specify the sources involved. The LLVM
    246   Makefile system will infer the source files from the contents of the source
    247   directory.</p>
    248   <p>The <tt>LOADABLE_MODULE=1</tt> directive can be used in conjunction with
    249   <tt>SHARED_LIBRARY=1</tt> to indicate that the resulting shared library should
    250   be openable with the <tt>dlopen</tt> function and searchable with the
    251   <tt>dlsym</tt> function (or your operating system's equivalents). While this
    252   isn't strictly necessary on Linux and a few other platforms, it is required
    253   on systems like HP-UX and Darwin. You should use <tt>LOADABLE_MODULE</tt> for
    254   any shared library that you intend to be loaded into an tool via the
    255   <tt>-load</tt> option. See the 
    256   <a href="WritingAnLLVMPass.html#makefile">WritingAnLLVMPass.html</a> document
    257   for an example of why you might want to do this.

    260 <h4><a name="BCModules">Bitcode Modules</a></h4>
    261 <div>
    262   <p>In some situations, it is desirable to build a single bitcode module from
    263   a variety of sources, instead of an archive, shared library, or bitcode 
    264   library. Bitcode modules can be specified in addition to any of the other
    265   types of libraries by defining the <a href="#MODULE_NAME">MODULE_NAME</a>
    266   variable. For example:</p>
    267   <pre><tt>
    268       LIBRARYNAME = mylib
    269       BYTECODE_LIBRARY = 1
    270       MODULE_NAME = mymod
    271   </tt></pre>
    272   <p>will build a module named <tt>mymod.bc</tt> from the sources in the
    273   directory. This module will be an aggregation of all the bitcode modules 
    274   derived from the sources. The example will also build a bitcode archive 
    275   containing a bitcode module for each compiled source file. The difference is
    276   subtle, but important depending on how the module or library is to be linked.
    277   </p>
    278 </div>
    279 
    280 <!-- ======================================================================= -->
    281 <h4>
    282   <a name="LoadableModules">Loadable Modules</a>
    283 </h4>
    284 <div>
    285   <p>In some situations, you need to create a loadable module. Loadable modules
    286   can be loaded into programs like <tt>opt</tt> or <tt>llc</tt> to specify
    287   additional passes to run or targets to support.  Loadable modules are also
    288   useful for debugging a pass or providing a pass with another package if that
    289   pass can't be included in LLVM.</p>
    290   <p>LLVM provides complete support for building such a module. All you need to
    291   do is use the LOADABLE_MODULE variable in your Makefile. For example, to 
    292   build a loadable module named <tt>MyMod</tt> that uses the LLVM libraries
    293   <tt>LLVMSupport.a</tt> and <tt>LLVMSystem.a</tt>, you would specify:</p>
    294   <pre><tt>
    295      LIBRARYNAME := MyMod
    296      LOADABLE_MODULE := 1
    297      LINK_COMPONENTS := support system
    298   </tt></pre>
    299   <p>Use of the <tt>LOADABLE_MODULE</tt> facility implies several things:</p>
    300   <ol>
    301     <li>There will be no "lib" prefix on the module. This differentiates it from
    302     a standard shared library of the same name.</li>
    303     <li>The <a href="#SHARED_LIBRARY">SHARED_LIBRARY</a> variable is turned 
    304     on.</li>
    305     <li>The <a href="#LINK_LIBS_IN_SHARED">LINK_LIBS_IN_SHARED</a> variable
    306     is turned on.</li>
    307   </ol>
    308   <p>A loadable module is loaded by LLVM via the facilities of libtool's libltdl
    309   library which is part of <tt>lib/System</tt> implementation.</p>

    316 <div>
    317   <p>For building executable programs (tools), you must provide the name of the
    318   tool and the names of the libraries you wish to link with the tool. For
    319   example:</p>
    320   <pre><tt>
    321       TOOLNAME = mytool
    322       USEDLIBS = mylib
    323       LINK_COMPONENTS = support system
    324   </tt></pre>
    325   <p>says that we are to build a tool name <tt>mytool</tt> and that it requires
    326   three libraries: <tt>mylib</tt>, <tt>LLVMSupport.a</tt> and
    327   <tt>LLVMSystem.a</tt>.</p>
    328   <p>Note that two different variables are use to indicate which libraries are
    329   linked: <tt>USEDLIBS</tt> and <tt>LLVMLIBS</tt>. This distinction is necessary
    330   to support projects. <tt>LLVMLIBS</tt> refers to the LLVM libraries found in 
    331   the LLVM object directory. <tt>USEDLIBS</tt> refers to the libraries built by 
    332   your project. In the case of building LLVM tools, <tt>USEDLIBS</tt> and 
    333   <tt>LLVMLIBS</tt> can be used interchangeably since the "project" is LLVM 
    334   itself and <tt>USEDLIBS</tt> refers to the same place as <tt>LLVMLIBS</tt>.
    335   </p>
    336   <p>Also note that there are two different ways of specifying a library: with a
    337   <tt>.a</tt> suffix and without. Without the suffix, the entry refers to the
    338   re-linked (.o) file which will include <em>all</em> symbols of the library.
    339   This is useful, for example, to include all passes from a library of passes.
    340   If the <tt>.a</tt> suffix is used then the library is linked as a searchable
    341   library (with the <tt>-l</tt> option). In this case, only the symbols that are
    342   unresolved <em>at that point</em> will be resolved from the library, if they
    343   exist. Other (unreferenced) symbols will not be included when the <tt>.a</tt>
    344   syntax is used. Note that in order to use the <tt>.a</tt> suffix, the library
    345   in question must have been built with the <tt>ARCHIVE_LIBRARY</tt> option set.

    436   <p>When you invoke <tt>make</tt> with no arguments, you are implicitly
    437   instructing it to seek the "all" target (goal). This target is used for
    438   building the software recursively and will do different things in different 
    439   directories.  For example, in a <tt>lib</tt> directory, the "all" target will 
    440   compile source files and generate libraries. But, in a <tt>tools</tt> 
    441   directory, it will link libraries and generate executables.</p>

    456   in the project's <tt>test</tt> directory, if it exists and has a 
    457   <tt>Makefile</tt>. A warning is produced otherwise.  If 
    458   <a href="#TESTSUITE"><tt>TESTSUITE</tt></a> is defined on the <tt>make</tt>

    499   project using the <tt>all</tt> target and then tars up the necessary files and

    510   the installation results are correct (by comparing to the original build).
    511   This target can take a long time to run but should be done before a release

    700     to link certain libraries into your shared library and this option enables
    701     that feature.</dd>
    702     <dt><a name="LLVMLIBS"><tt>LLVMLIBS</tt></a></dt>
    703     <dd>Specifies the set of libraries from the LLVM $(ObjDir) that will be
    704     linked into the tool or library.</dd>
    705     <dt><a name="LOADABLE_MODULE"><tt>LOADABLE_MODULE</tt></a></dt>
    706     <dd>If set to any value, causes the shared library being built to also be
    707     a loadable module. Loadable modules can be opened with the dlopen() function
    708     and searched with dlsym (or the operating system's equivalent). Note that
    709     setting this variable without also setting <tt>SHARED_LIBRARY</tt> will have
    710     no effect.</dd>
    711     <dt><a name="MODULE_NAME"><tt>MODULE_NAME</tt></a></dt>
    712     <dd>Specifies the name of a bitcode module to be created. A bitcode 
    713     module can be specified in conjunction with other kinds of library builds 
    714     or by itself. It constructs from the sources a single linked bitcode 
    715     file.</dd>

    719     This is handy for directories that build libraries or tools that are only
    720     used as part of the build process, such as code generators (e.g.
    721     <tt>tblgen</tt>).</dd>
    722     <dt><a name="OPTIONAL_DIRS"><tt>OPTIONAL_DIRS</tt></a></dt>

    728     <dt><a name="SHARED_LIBRARY"><tt>SHARED_LIBRARY</tt></a></dt>
    729     <dd>If set to any value, causes a shared library (.so) to be built in
    730     addition to any other kinds of libraries. Note that this option will cause
    731     all source files to be built twice: once with options for position
    732     independent code and once without. Use it only where you really need a
    733     shared library.</dd>

    735     <dd>Specifies the list of source files in the current directory to be
    736     built. Source files of any type may be specified (programs, documentation, 
    737     config files, etc.). If not specified, the makefile system will infer the
    738     set of source files from the files present in the current directory.</dd>
    739     <dt><a name="SUFFIXES"><tt>SUFFIXES</tt></a></dt>
    740     <dd>Specifies a set of filename suffixes that occur in suffix match rules.
    741     Only set this if your local <tt>Makefile</tt> specifies additional suffix
    742     match rules.</dd> 
    743     <dt><a name="TARGET"><tt>TARGET</tt></a></dt>
    744     <dd>Specifies the name of the LLVM code generation target that the
    745     current directory builds. Setting this variable enables additional rules to
    746     build <tt>.inc</tt> files from <tt>.td</tt> files. </dd>
    747     <dt><a name="TESTSUITE"><tt>TESTSUITE</tt></a></dt>

    752     <dt><a name="TOOL_VERBOSE"><tt>TOOL_VERBOSE</tt></a></dt>
    753     <dd>Implies VERBOSE and also tells each tool invoked to be verbose. This is
    754     handy when you're trying to see the sub-tools invoked by each tool invoked 
    755     by the makefile. For example, this will pass <tt>-v</tt> to the GCC 
    756     compilers which causes it to print out the command lines it uses to invoke
    757     sub-tools (compiler, assembler, linker).</dd>
    758     <dt><a name="USEDLIBS"><tt>USEDLIBS</tt></a></dt>
    759     <dd>Specifies the list of project libraries that will be linked into the

    761     <dt><a name="VERBOSE"><tt>VERBOSE</tt></a></dt>
    762     <dd>Tells the Makefile system to produce detailed output of what it is doing
    763     instead of just summary comments. This will generate a LOT of output.</dd>
