<p>Amongst other things, LLVM is a toolkit for building compilers, linkers,
runtime executives, virtual machines, and other program execution related
tools. In addition to the LLVM tool set, the functionality of LLVM is
available through a set of libraries. To use LLVM as a toolkit for
constructing tools, a developer needs to understand what is contained in the
various libraries, what they depend on, and how to use them. This document
describes the contents of the libraries and how and when to use them.
</p>
</div>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<div class="doc_section"> <a name="introduction">Introduction</a></div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>If you're writing a compiler, virtual machine, or any other utility based
on LLVM, you'll need to figure out which of the many libraries files you will
need to link with to be successful. An understanding of the contents of these
files and their inter-relationships will be useful in coming up with an optimal
specification for the libraries to link with. The purpose of this document is
to reduce some of the trial and error that the author experienced in using
LLVM.</p>
<p>LLVM produces two types of libraries: archives (ending in <tt>.a</tt>) and
objects (ending in <tt>.o</tt>). However, both are libraries. Libraries ending
in <tt>.o</tt> are known as re-linked libraries because they contain all the
compilation units of the library linked together as a single <tt>.o</tt> file.
Furthermore, many of the libraries have <em>both</em> forms of library. The
re-linked libraries are used whenever you want to include all symbols from the
library. The archive libraries are used whenever you want to only resolve
outstanding symbols at that point in the link without including everything in
the library. </p>
<p>When linking your tools, you will use the <tt>LLVMLIBS</tt> make variable.
(see the <a href="MakefileGuide.html#LLVMLIBS">Makefile Guide</a> for
details). This variable specifies which LLVM libraries to link into your tool
and the order in which they will be linked. You specify re-linked libraries by
naming the library without a suffix. You specify archive libraries by naming
the library with a <tt>.a</tt> suffix but without the <tt>lib</tt> prefix. The
order in which the libraries appear in the <tt>LLVMLIBS</tt> variable
definition is the order in which they will be linked. Getting this order
correct for your tool can sometimes be challenging.

<h2>Dependency Relationships Of Libraries</h2>
<p>This graph shows the dependency of archive libraries on other archive
libraries or objects. Where a library has both archive and object forms, only
the archive form is shown.</p>

and LLVMSystem</a></div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>No matter what you do with LLVM, the last three entries in the value of
your LLVMLIBS make variable should always be:
<tt>LLVMCore LLVMSupport.a LLVMSystem.a</tt>. There are no <tt>LLVM</tt>
programs that don't depend on these three.</p>

<div class="doc_subsection"><a name="onlyone">Never link both archive and
re-linked library</a></div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>There is never any point to linking both the re-linked (<tt>.o</tt>) and
the archive (<tt>.a</tt>) versions of a library. Since the re-linked version
includes the entire library, the archive version will not resolve any symbols.
You could even end up with link error if you place the archive version before
the re-linked version on the linker's command line.</p>
