-Broken versions of GCC and other tools
---------------------------------------
+Host C++ Toolchain, both Compiler and Standard Library
+------------------------------------------------------
LLVM is very demanding of the host C++ compiler, and as such tends to expose
-bugs in the compiler. In particular, several versions of GCC crash when trying
-to compile LLVM. We routinely use GCC 4.2 (and higher) or Clang. Other
-versions of GCC will probably work as well. GCC versions listed here are known
-to not work. If you are using one of these versions, please try to upgrade your
-GCC to something more recent. If you run into a problem with a version of GCC
-not listed here, please `let us know <mailto:llvmdev@cs.uiuc.edu>`_. Please use
-the "``gcc -v``" command to find out which version of GCC you are using.
-
-**GCC versions prior to 3.0**: GCC 2.96.x and before had several problems in the
-STL that effectively prevent it from compiling LLVM.
-
-**GCC 3.2.2 and 3.2.3**: These versions of GCC fails to compile LLVM with a
-bogus template error. This was fixed in later GCCs.
-
-**GCC 3.3.2**: This version of GCC suffered from a `serious bug
-<http://gcc.gnu.org/PR13392>`_ which causes it to crash in the
-"``convert_from_eh_region_ranges_1``" GCC function.
-
-**Cygwin GCC 3.3.3**: The version of GCC 3.3.3 commonly shipped with Cygwin does
-not work.
-
-**SuSE GCC 3.3.3**: The version of GCC 3.3.3 shipped with SuSE 9.1 (and possibly
-others) does not compile LLVM correctly (it appears that exception handling is
-broken in some cases). Please download the FSF 3.3.3 or upgrade to a newer
-version of GCC.
-
-**GCC 3.4.0 on linux/x86 (32-bit)**: GCC miscompiles portions of the code
-generator, causing an infinite loop in the llvm-gcc build when built with
-optimizations enabled (i.e. a release build).
-
-**GCC 3.4.2 on linux/x86 (32-bit)**: GCC miscompiles portions of the code
-generator at -O3, as with 3.4.0. However gcc 3.4.2 (unlike 3.4.0) correctly
-compiles LLVM at -O2. A work around is to build release LLVM builds with
-"``make ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1 OPTIMIZE_OPTION=-O2 ...``"
-
-**GCC 3.4.x on X86-64/amd64**: GCC `miscompiles portions of LLVM
-<http://llvm.org/PR1056>`__.
-
-**GCC 3.4.4 (CodeSourcery ARM 2005q3-2)**: this compiler miscompiles LLVM when
-building with optimizations enabled. It appears to work with "``make

+bugs in the compiler. We are also planning to follow improvements and
+developments in the C++ language and library reasonably closely. As such, we
+require a modern host C++ toolchain, both compiler and standard library, in
+order to build LLVM.
-**IA-64 GCC 4.0.0**: The IA-64 version of GCC 4.0.0 is known to miscompile LLVM.
+For the most popular host toolchains we check for specific minimum versions in
+our build systems:
-**Apple Xcode 2.3**: GCC crashes when compiling LLVM at -O3 (which is the
-default with ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1. To work around this, build with
-"``ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1 OPTIMIZE_OPTION=-O2``".
+* Clang 3.1
+* GCC 4.7
+* Visual Studio 2012
-**GCC 4.1.1**: GCC fails to build LLVM with template concept check errors
-compiling some files. At the time of this writing, GCC mainline (4.2) did not
-share the problem.
+Anything older than these toolchains *may* work, but will require forcing the
+build system with a special option and is not really a supported host platform.
+Also note that older versions of these compilers have often crashed or
+miscompiled LLVM.
-**GCC 4.1.1 on X86-64/amd64**: GCC `miscompiles portions of LLVM
-<http://llvm.org/PR1063>`__ when compiling llvm itself into 64-bit code. LLVM
-will appear to mostly work but will be buggy, e.g. failing portions of its
-testsuite.
+For less widely used host toolchains such as ICC or xlC, be aware that a very
+recent version may be required to support all of the C++ features used in LLVM.
-**GCC 4.1.2 on OpenSUSE**: Seg faults during libstdc++ build and on x86_64
-platforms compiling md5.c gets a mangled constant.
-
-**GCC 4.1.2 (20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) on Debian**: Appears to
-miscompile parts of LLVM 2.4. One symptom is ValueSymbolTable complaining about
-symbols remaining in the table on destruction.
-
-**GCC 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)**: Suffers from the same symptoms as the
-previous one. It appears to work with ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=0 (the default).
-
-**Cygwin GCC 4.3.2 20080827 (beta) 2**: Users `reported
-<http://llvm.org/PR4145>`_ various problems related with link errors when using
-this GCC version.
-
-**Debian GCC 4.3.2 on X86**: Crashes building some files in LLVM 2.6.
-
-**GCC 4.3.3 (Debian 4.3.3-10) on ARM**: Miscompiles parts of LLVM 2.6 when
-optimizations are turned on. The symptom is an infinite loop in
-``FoldingSetImpl::RemoveNode`` while running the code generator.
-
-**SUSE 11 GCC 4.3.4**: Miscompiles LLVM, causing crashes in ValueHandle logic.
-
-**GCC 4.3.5 and GCC 4.4.5 on ARM**: These can miscompile ``value >> 1`` even at
-``-O0``. A test failure in ``test/Assembler/alignstack.ll`` is one symptom of
-the problem.
+We track certain versions of software that are *known* to fail when used as
+part of the host toolchain. These even include linkers at times.
**GCC 4.6.3 on ARM**: Miscompiles ``llvm-readobj`` at ``-O3``. A test failure
in ``test/Object/readobj-shared-object.test`` is one symptom of the problem.
**Clang 3.0 on Mageia 2**. There's a packaging issue: Clang can not find at
least some (``cxxabi.h``) libstdc++ headers.
+**Clang in C++11 mode and libstdc++ 4.7.2**. This version of libstdc++
+contained `a bug <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53841>`__ which
+causes Clang to refuse to compile condition_variable header file. At the time
+of writing, this breaks LLD build.
+
+Getting a Modern Host C++ Toolchain
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This section mostly applies to Linux and older BSDs. On Mac OS X, you should
+have a sufficiently modern Xcode, or you will likely need to upgrade until you
+do. On Windows, just use Visual Studio 2012 as the host compiler, it is
+explicitly supported and widely available. FreeBSD 10.0 and newer have a modern
+Clang as the system compiler.
+
+However, some Linux distributions and some other or older BSDs sometimes have
+extremely old versions of GCC. These steps attempt to help you upgrade you
+compiler even on such a system. However, if at all possible, we encourage you
+to use a recent version of a distribution with a modern system compiler that
+meets these requirements. Note that it is tempting to to install a prior
+version of Clang and libc++ to be the host compiler, however libc++ was not
+well tested or set up to build on Linux until relatively recently. As
+a consequence, this guide suggests just using libstdc++ and a modern GCC as the
+initial host in a bootstrap, and then using Clang (and potentially libc++).
+
+The first step is to get a recent GCC toolchain installed. The most common
+distribution on which users have struggled with the version requirements is
+Ubuntu Precise, 12.04 LTS. For this distribution, one easy option is to install
+the `toolchain testing PPA`_ and use it to install a modern GCC. There is
+a really nice discussions of this on the `ask ubuntu stack exchange`_. However,
+not all users can use PPAs and there are many other distributions, so it may be
+necessary (or just useful, if you're here you *are* doing compiler development
+after all) to build and install GCC from source. It is also quite easy to do
+these days.

+ % make -j$(nproc)

+of this information from.
+
+.. _GCC wiki entry:
+ http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC
+
+Once you have a GCC toolchain, configure your build of LLVM to use the new
+toolchain for your host compiler and C++ standard library. Because the new
+version of libstdc++ is not on the system library search path, you need to pass
+extra linker flags so that it can be found at link time (``-L``) and at runtime
+(``-rpath``). If you are using CMake, this invocation should produce working
+binaries:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ % mkdir build
+ % cd build
+ % CC=$HOME/toolchains/bin/gcc CXX=$HOME/toolchains/bin/g++ \
+ cmake .. -DCMAKE_CXX_LINK_FLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,$HOME/toolchains/lib64 -L$HOME/toolchains/lib64"
+
+If you fail to set rpath, most LLVM binaries will fail on startup with a message
+from the loader similar to ``libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not
+found``. This means you need to tweak the -rpath linker flag.
+
+When you build Clang, you will need to give *it* access to modern C++11
+standard library in order to use it as your new host in part of a bootstrap.
+There are two easy ways to do this, either build (and install) libc++ along
+with Clang and then use it with the ``-stdlib=libc++`` compile and link flag,
+or install Clang into the same prefix (``$HOME/toolchains`` above) as GCC.
+Clang will look within its own prefix for libstdc++ and use it if found. You
+can also add an explicit prefix for Clang to look in for a GCC toolchain with
+the ``--gcc-toolchain=/opt/my/gcc/prefix`` flag, passing it to both compile and
+link commands when using your just-built-Clang to bootstrap.
