We were not making any distinction between e.g. the "Apple-flavored" libc++ built from trunk and the system-provided standard library on Apple platforms. For example, any test that would be XFAILed on a back-deployment target would unexpectedly pass when run on that deployment target against the tip of trunk Apple-flavored libc++. In reality, that test would be expected to pass because we're running against the latest libc++, even if it is Apple-flavored. To solve this issue, we introduce a new feature that describes whether the Standard Library in use is the one provided by the system by default, and that notion is different from the underlying standard library flavor. We also refactor the existing Lit features to make a distinction between availability markup and the library we're running against at runtime, which otherwise limit the flexibility of what we can express in the test suite. Finally, we refactor some of the back-deployment versions that were incorrect (such as thinking that LLVM 10 was introduced in macOS 11, when in reality macOS 11 was synced with LLVM 11). Fixes #82107
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.
