Bug 471434 – sys-devel/clang-3.2 fails to find libprofile_rt.a for --coverage

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Andrew Church 2013-05-27 14:25:45 UTC]

When attempting to compile a program with the --coverage flag, clang-3.2 fails to link the final executable because it cannot find libprofile_rt.a, which it expects to find in /usr/lib but is actually located in /usr/lib/llvm (as part of the sys-devel/llvm package).

Appears to be the same issue as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clang/+bug/954709

Created attachment 349354 [details, diff]
Proof-of-concept patch to llvm-3.2.ebuild

I'm not suggesting that this is the correct fix (I don't know the history behind the use of /usr/lib/llvm), but this patch allows clang to properly link executables with --coverage.

[Comment 2 Bernard Cafarelli 2013-06-13 21:21:27 UTC]

Thanks for the report! The path to libprofile_rt.a is hardcoded in clang source, I updated it in clang ebuilds to point to the llvm lib directory

Fixed in live ebuild and cland-3.3_rc3 (final 3.3 should be released really soon

[Comment 3 Andrew Church 2013-06-14 08:12:18 UTC]

Thanks for the fix.  Unfortunately, --coverage itself is broken in clang-3.3 (see http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15953) so I can't confirm this at the moment -- but it looks like you may (also / instead) need to apply the fix with respect to libclang_rt.a.

[Comment 4 Bernard Cafarelli 2013-06-17 11:13:16 UTC]

Thanks I opened #473578 for libclang_rt.profile (as this is specific to >=3.3)

[Comment 5 Andrew Church 2013-06-17 12:04:19 UTC]

I can now confirm that the updated 3.3 ebuild fixes --coverage if I manually link in the appropriate libclang_rt (couldn't find it before).
Thanks again!
