Bug ID: 16685
Summary: Option removed from llvm-ar not removed from docs or
sample Makefile
Product: new-bugs
Version: trunk
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P
Component: new bugs
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Revision r186078 (2013-07-11) removed support for llvm-ar's "f" option, which
truncates names in archives. However,
http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-ar.html still mentions "f" as a valid
option, and projects/sample/Makefile.llvm.rules still passes "f" to llvm-ar:
LArchive = $(LLVMToolDir)/llvm-ar rcsf
On top of that, the error message llvm-ar produces when an invalid option is
specified does not indicate *which* option was invalid or even that an option
was invalid. That made it take longer than it should have to track down the
problem: both the documentation and the Makefile.llvm.rules seem to indicate
that the "f" is still hunky-dory, which it's not.
Please update http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-ar.html and
projects/sample/Makefile.llvm.rules.
Thanks,
-- Scott
