      [CMake] Use PRIVATE in target_link_libraries for executables · 456e35cb
      Shoaib Meenai authored
      We currently use target_link_libraries without an explicit scope
      specifier (INTERFACE, PRIVATE or PUBLIC) when linking executables.
      Dependencies added in this way apply to both the target and its
      dependencies, i.e. they become part of the executable's link interface
      and are transitive.
      
      Transitive dependencies generally don't make sense for executables,
      since you wouldn't normally be linking against an executable. This also
      causes issues for generating install export files when using
      LLVM_DISTRIBUTION_COMPONENTS. For example, clang has a lot of LLVM
      library dependencies, which are currently added as interface
      dependencies. If clang is in the distribution components but the LLVM
      libraries it depends on aren't (which is a perfectly legitimate use case
      if the LLVM libraries are being built static and there are therefore no
      run-time dependencies on them), CMake will complain about the LLVM
      libraries not being in export set when attempting to generate the
      install export file for clang. This is reasonable behavior on CMake's
      part, and the right thing is for LLVM's build system to explicitly use
      PRIVATE dependencies for executables.
      
      Unfortunately, CMake doesn't allow you to mix and match the keyword and
      non-keyword target_link_libraries signatures for a single target; i.e.,
      if a single call to target_link_libraries for a particular target uses
      one of the INTERFACE, PRIVATE, or PUBLIC keywords, all other calls must
      also be updated to use those keywords. This means we must do this change
      in a single shot. I also fully expect to have missed some instances; I
      tested by enabling all the projects in the monorepo (except dragonegg),
      and configuring both with and without shared libraries, on both Darwin
      and Linux, but I'm planning to rely on the buildbots for other
      configurations (since it should be pretty easy to fix those).
      
      Even after this change, we still have a lot of target_link_libraries
      calls that don't specify a scope keyword, mostly for shared libraries.
      I'm thinking about addressing those in a follow-up, but that's a
      separate change IMO.

      Add Cross Translation Unit support library · 6254bf4a
      Gabor Horvath authored
      This patch introduces a class that can help to build tools that require cross
      translation unit facilities. This class allows function definitions to be loaded
      from external AST files based on an index. In order to use this functionality an
      index is required. The index format is a flat text file but it might be
      replaced with a different solution in the near future. USRs are used as names to
      look up the functions definitions. This class also does caching to avoid
      redundant loading of AST files.
      
      Right now only function defnitions can be loaded using this API because this is
      what the in progress cross translation unit feature of the Static Analyzer
      requires. In to future this might be extended to classes, types etc.
