I was happy to see that llvm/clang-10 have unified shared libraries, so I decided to give rc2 a try. Everything builds & works fine, but I noticed inconsistent names & symlinks in /usr/lib/llvm/10/lib64: llvm has: lrwxrwxrwx 1 16 Feb 14 14:58 libLLVM-10.0.0git.so -> libLLVM-10git.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 52M Feb 14 14:58 libLLVM-10git.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 16 Feb 14 14:58 libLLVM.so -> libLLVM-10git.so whereas clang has: lrwxrwxrwx 1 21 Feb 14 15:49 libclang-cpp.so -> libclang-cpp.so.10git -rwxr-xr-x 1 44M Feb 14 15:49 libclang-cpp.so.10git lrwxrwxrwx 1 17 Feb 14 15:49 libclang.so -> libclang.so.10git -rwxr-xr-x 1 35M Feb 14 15:49 libclang.so.10 lrwxrwxrwx 1 14 Feb 14 15:49 libclang.so.10git -> libclang.so.10 I understand the absence of a clear major.minor notation in an rc (hence the 10git), but IMHO the .so naming and symlink-pointing should be unified, to be in line with the rest of the system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. unmask & emerge llvm/clang-10.0.0_rc2 2. see above 3. It's not clear to me whether this is Gentoo-specific or something worth reporting upstream. I didn't find anything in upstream's bug tracker, but that is not surprising given upstream's attitude towards shared libs. However since it's an rc I figured I report this oddity and see what other people think.
It's an upstream issue and they actually like 'dylibs' (as opposed to split shared).
