[PATCH] scripts/Makefile.clang: default to LLVM_IAS=1

[PATCH] scripts/Makefile.clang: default to LLVM_IAS=1

[Nick Desaulniers]

LLVM_IAS=1 controls enabling clang's integrated assembler via
-integrated-as. This was an explicit opt in until we could enable
assembler support in Clang for more architecures. Now we have support
and CI coverage of LLVM_IAS=1 for all architecures except a few more
bugs affecting s390 and powerpc.

This commit flips the default from opt in via LLVM_IAS=1 to opt out via
LLVM_IAS=0.  CI systems or developers that were previously doing builds
with CC=clang or LLVM=1 without explicitly setting LLVM_IAS must now
explicitly opt out via LLVM_IAS=0, otherwise they will be implicitly
opted-in.

This finally shortens the command line invocation when cross compiling
with LLVM to simply:

$ make ARCH=arm64 LLVM=1

I'd drop the "Currently,".  This is presumably going to be the default
going forward unless there's some horrible unforeseen problem.  The
"Currently," implies that we're planning on changing it.

I am not sure if LLVM_IAS should also impacts linker selection

Please drop these two hunks.

I will apply my patch instead.

When we negate a flag that is enabled by default,
which is a common way?
 - set it to '0'
 - set is to empty


So, I was wondering if we should support
not only LLVM_IAS=0 but also LLVM_IAS=.

What do you think?

always asking for 0 or 1 is perhaps better.

Sure.  Will send a v2 with Matthew's suggestion as well.

LLVM_IAS= looks weird (so I agree with Khem's response), but if it's
common/expected then maybe if there's a way to write a concise check
for either =<blank> or =0?  I don't feel strongly about how it's
specified to disable the integrated assembler, but let's sort that out
_before_ I send a v2.

How can you tell the difference between `make CC=clang` and `make
CC=clang LLVM_IAS=`? (maybe that doesn't matter here, as either imply
"don't use clang as the assembler when compiling with clang")

$(origin LLVM_IAS) knows the difference.

make CC=clang            ->  $(origin LLVM_IAS) is 'undefined'
make CC=clang LLVM_IAS=  ->  $(origin LLVM_IAS) is 'command line'
LLVM_IAS= make CC=clang  ->  $(origin LLVM_IAS) is 'environment'




The following patch makes both LLVM_IAS= and LLVM_IAS=0
work for disabling the integrated assembler.



@@ -22,6 +22,9 @@ else
 CLANG_FLAGS    += --target=$(notdir $(CROSS_COMPILE:%-=%))
 endif # CROSS_COMPILE

+# The integrated assembler is enabled by default.
+LLVM_IAS ?= 1
+
 ifeq ($(LLVM_IAS),1)
 CLANG_FLAGS    += -integrated-as
 else






But, I am not pretty sure if it is a good idea...

Perhaps, it is better to require LLVM_IAS=0
as Khem mentioned.


Another way for avoiding ambiguity is, perhaps
LLVM_IAS_DISABLE=1 instead of LLVM_IAS=0.
