Why does this need to be weak_odr? It depends where we want to do the linking. For my purposes I'd like to be able to link in these libraries at link time. This allows us to link in target specific libraries as-needed so we can make generated code more generic until linking or the backend. The problem with `linkonce_odr` is that it does not need to emit a symbol, so it will usually be optimized out by clang. E.g. the following won't work because these generated globals will be optimized out completely before we have any library to use them. clang amdgpu.c -c -O3 clang amdgpu.o <link ocml.bc> Repository: rG LLVM Github Monorepo CHANGES SINCE LAST ACTION https://reviews.llvm.org/D130096/new/ https://reviews.llvm.org/D130096 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
