Xcode9 seems doesn't support 3rd llvm compiler? - llvm

Replace the default Apple-LLVM with the LLVM 5.0 downloaded from llvm.org.
and compiling, xcode thrown an error:
clang-5.0: error: cannot specify -o when generating multiple output files
Xcode8 is OK.
Thanks.

This is not a Clang 5.0-only issue. I am having the same issue with a custom Clang 3.9.
Xcode 9 has introduced a custom argument that a normal Clang does not support:
The -index-store-path argument does not exist in Clang 5.0 and it gets discarded without any error message. The problem is that its argument, a folder, is not discarded, and Clang considers it as a source file. This leads to the following errors:
cannot specify -o when generating multiple output files (this happens if a -o argument is passed)
error reading '<PATH>' (this can be observed when running the "normalized" version of the clang command, generated via the -### flag)
Source: Facebook/infer: Remove unsupported index-store-path argument from clang commands.
In my custom toolchain based on Clang/CMake/Xcode I use a wrapper around clang in which I just cut off this argument and the folder passed to it and everything works fine.

Android native build error. clang++: error: unknown argument: '-fconcepts-ts'

I am using code where auto is used for function. It compiles well on gcc compiler on linux machine. When I using the same function in android native, it is throwing the error
clang++: error: unknown argument: '-fconcepts-ts'
-fconcepts-ts is optional on linux machine as without it , we only get a warning.
But for android native build, I am not understanding where to fix this.
I updated build.gradle to reflect the cppflags for c++17
cppFlags '-std=c++17'
However, it is not recognizing the -fconcepts-ts flag at all.
Please help.

Missing C++ std library methods and other errors while compiling EOS on Ubuntu 14.04?

I'm trying to compile the EOS blockchain/smart contract project on GitHub on Ubuntu 14.04:
https://github.com/EOSIO/eos
After getting Clang 4.0 to install, installing build_essentials, and upgrading CMake to 3.5, I was able to run the build process without any missing dependencies. However, now I get the errors shown below when I build the EOS source. This seems to me like another general issue with the configuration of the tools on my system since many people are able to compile the EOS code, although usually on Ubuntu 14.04.
Can anyone tell by looking at the errors I'm getting what tool or library I need to install or upgrade?

The Missing _t alias names look like you’re having issues with C++14. The header paths in the error messages look like you’re using the standard library from GCC 4.8 (the default compiler on Ubuntu 14.04), which is simply too old.
I can see two solutions:
Switch from GCC’s libstdc++ to an up-to-date version of LLVM’s libc++. I’m not familiar enough with Ubuntu to tell you how to install it. For the compilation of EOSIO you must pass the -stdlib=libc++ option to Clang to switch to the different stdlib. EOSIO looks like it’s using CMake, so you have to include -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-stdlib=libc++ in your CMake command line.
Use the Toolchain test builds PPA to install a newer GCC and and libstdc++ in addition to your system’s default one. For Ubuntu 14.04 GCC 7.2.0 is the latest version available, which is perfectly C++14 capable. Add the PPA to your package sources and then do a:
sudo apt-get install gcc-7 g++-7
This installs both the GCC C compiler and C++ compiler along with the stdlib. Your default compiler is still going to be the old GCC 4.8, so you’ll have to tell CMake about the newer versions:
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-7 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc-7
Note that now you compile EOSIO with GCC (and the new stdlib) instead of Clang. Instructing Clang to use a specific version of libstdc++ should be possible, but I don’t know how.
Official support is for Ubuntu 16.10. Consider upgrading.
(EDITED: I mistakenly said 14.10)

Error compiling Boost.Log

I am trying to compile the boost log library and I keep getting this error from the dump_avx2.cpp file
error: always_inline function '_mm256_set1_epi32' requires target feature 'sse4.2', but would be inlined into function 'dump_data_avx2' that is compiled without support for 'sse4.2'

^
I get a lot of errors that are very similar to the one above, all of them have the same error message but different locations in the file where they occur, for reference I am on the commit hash 68701167a1020b0b4c47b76e31d3a3da9e2faf3f for the Boost.Log submodule as fetched from the github repo (https://github.com/boostorg/boost)
Does anyone know how I can go about resolving this issue? I am building with a C++14 compiler and this is what I get when I type g++ --version
Apple LLVM version 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.42.1)
Thanks!
Note I should clarify that in this context it is required that I compile this library separately.
Note There seem to be two related source files dump_ssse3.cpp and the mentioned dump_avx2.cpp file, do I have to compile only one of them? I cannot make out what to do from the Jamfile in the build folder :(
That looks like a bug in clang (LLVM). First, the intrinsic belongs to AVX2, not SSE4.2. Second, the whole dump_avx2.cpp file is compiled with -mavx2, so the required extensions are enabled. You can see the compiler switches in the error message from b2. And no, both dump_ssse3.cpp and dump_avx2.cpp should be compiled. The library does runtime detection of the available instructions in the CPU and selects the proper implementation.

MacPorts clang not using its own headers

I'm trying to get emscripten to work on OS X 10.8, see this post for some related issues there. Apparently the clang++ version shipped with Xcode is too old, so I got a recent clang 3.7.0 using MacPorts. I even told CMake to use that compiler (passing -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++-mp-3.7 on the command line), but it still fails:
[ 33%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/optimizer.dir/parser.cpp.o
/opt/local/bin/clang++-mp-3.7 -std=c++11 -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -O3 -DNDEBUG

'unordered_set' file not found
#include <unordered_set>
^
1 error generated.
I can reproduce that issue by launching the compiler from the command line. In parallel build mode, sometimes it's instead complaining about <cstdint> for optimizer.cpp instead. Both these headers exist in /opt/local/libexec/llvm-3.7/include/c++/v1/.
What's the canonical way to use the macports-installed version of clang++ including its headers? Do I have to use -I and work out the full path, or is there something shorter?
Can I safely do so without also switching the runtime library to the one shipped with MacPorts' clang? If not, can I somehow encode the full path of the runtime library into the created binary, either for that single library or using the -rpath argument to ld or some equivalent alternative?
Update: I get unresolved symbols when I try to link stuff after specifying the include directory manually, and I don't know how to solve that. The libcxx package from MacPorts is empty except for a readme file.
I've solved the original problem by adding CXXFLAGS=--stdlib=libc++ to the environment. Then even the system version of clang will do everything I need. That flag works magic for MacPorts' version of clang as well: specifying that I get a successful build, and I can even verify (using the -E compiler switch) that it's using the headers I mentioned before. I'm still not certain whether there is anything to ensure that the headers match the system's version of libc++, though.

Compile with Intel 12.1.3 using gcc4.7 std library

I'm having the same problem described in this post except I'm using Intel version 12.1.3. (g++'s header <functional> is protected with #ifdef __GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__ which is not defined when icpc is used.)
Instead of using boost::functional, I wanted to install gcc4.7 and use it's std libraries.
In Ubuntu 11.10 I have gcc4.6.1 but I also installed gcc4.7 from the gcc-snapshot package.
Intel has the options -gcc-name, -gxx-name, and -cxxlib.
So originally I compiled with:
-std=c++0x -gcc-name=/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin/gcc -gxx-name=/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin/g++ -cxxlib=/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/
but I get the error:
icpc: error #10282: file
'/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin/g++' not found,
generated based on '-cxxlib=/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/'
So then I compiled with:
-std=c++0x -gcc-name=./gcc -gxx-name=./g++ -cxxlib=/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/.
But I still get the warnings and errors:
Warning #2928: the __GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__ macro is disabled when using GNU version 4.6 with the c++0x option
error: namespace "std" has no member "function"
The warning clearly says it's still using version 4.6. Does anybody know how to get Intel to use the correct libraries?
I've found that if you compile with gcc (or g++) with flags -v -Q you get a list of flags and defines. It might help you see what gcc does so maybe you can use the same -D/-U in icpc. also g++ -E will preprocess without compiling: you can get useful path information from that.
