#4213: LLVM: Add support for TNTC to LLVM compiler suite
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: dterei | Owner: dterei
Type: feature request | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Compiler (LLVM)
Version: 6.13 | Keywords:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
At the moment we handle TNTC in the LLVM backend in two different ways:
Linux/Windows: We use the GNU As subsections feature to order sections.
Works very nicely. Slight hack in that we create special section names
that contain comments. (Asm injection)
Mac: Mac assembler doesn't support the GNU As subsections feature, so we
post-process the assembly code produced by llc.
Both these methods (especially Mac) are hacks. It would be better to
extend LLVM to support the TNTC feature.
