Since CMake 3.20, CMake explicitly passes "-x c" (or equivalent) when compiling a file which has been set as having the language C. This behaviour change only takes place if "cmake_minimum_required" is set to 3.20 or newer, or if the policy CMP0119 is set to new. Attempting to compile assembly files with "-x c" fails, however this is workarounded in many cases, as OpenMP overrides this with "-x assembler-with-cpp", however this is only added for non-Windows targets. Thus, after increasing cmake_minimum_required to 3.20, this breaks compiling the GNU assembly for Windows targets; the GNU assembly is used for ARM and AArch64 Windows targets when building with Clang. This patch unbreaks that. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D150532
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
