To be entirely fair this is a failing of upstream LLVM for not using symbol versioning on Linux. On OSX, where clearly most of LLVM's development happens, this isn't an issue because Mach-O's two level namespacing means every imported symbol knows which library it came from. If libLLVM used ELF symbol versions we'd get the same effect, and then you could have llvm 3.5 and 3.6 in the same address space and things would Just Work. I'd submitted a patch for this but it didn't get merged in 3.5, at least partly because gold doesn't support all the same command line options as binutils' ld. I'd make a snarky comment here about how the freedom to choose to use a different linker is clearly a great thing that improves users' lives, and about how mere packaging policy by definition cannot fix implementation bugs, but at this point I feel like I'm screaming at a wall. I'll try again for 3.6. - ajax -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
