gcc - 将 GCC 的链接时优化与静态链接库一起使用

Question

我正在尝试通过 -flto 使用链接时优化。 GCC (6.1.1) 的标志。

虽然它适用于我的代码，但它没有链接到我也在构建和链接到我的项目的静态链接库(即 Engine 和库是 glsl-optimizer ，仅供引用)。

这是输出:

...
/usr/bin/ranlib: ir_expression_flattening.cpp.o: plugin needed to handle lto object
/usr/bin/ranlib: opt_function_inlining.cpp.o: plugin needed to handle lto object
/usr/bin/ranlib: opt_copy_propagation_elements.cpp.o: plugin needed to handle lto object
...

在那之后，当然，我得到了一些对某些函数的“ undefined reference ”。

我做了一些研究，发现这可能是因为 ar ，我应该尝试使用 gcc-ar ，但我不确定我该怎么做。

另外，我正在使用不支持 lto 的 CMake(某些平台上的英特尔编译器除外，所以我读了......)。即使，我尝试使用:

set_property(TARGET glsl_optimizer PROPERTY INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION True)

这没有用。

另外，我尝试了 GCC 的 -fuse-linker-plugin没有工作的标志。

我想我必须直接使用 gcc-ar 以旧方式手动完成。 ，或者也许还有其他方法？

这是 MCVE重现问题的 CMake 项目:

$ ls -R hellow
hellow:
CMakeLists.txt  hello.c  libhello.c

$ cat hellow/CMakeLists.txt 
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.6)
project (hellow)
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -flto")
SET(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} -flto")
#SET(CMAKE_AR  "gcc-ar")
#SET(CMAKE_C_ARCHIVE_CREATE "<CMAKE_AR> qcs <TARGET> <LINK_FLAGS> <OBJECTS>")
#SET(CMAKE_C_ARCHIVE_FINISH   true)
add_library(hello STATIC libhello.c) 
add_executable(hellow hello.c)
target_link_libraries(hellow hello)
add_dependencies(hellow hello)


$ cat hellow/hello.c 
extern void hello(void);

int main(void)
{
    hello();
    return 0;
}

$ cat hellow/libhello.c 
#include <stdio.h>

void hello(void)
{
    puts("Hello");
}

配置不错:

$ mkdir build_hellow
$ cd build_hellow/
$ cmake ../hellow

根据问题构建失败:

$ make

[ 50%] Linking C static library libhello.a

解决方案不止一种。一种是取消注释 3 条注释行
在 CMakeLists.txt多于。然后:

$ cmake ../hellow/

$ ./hellow

此修复程序利用了以下事实。

构建破坏问题:

/usr/bin/ar: CMakeFiles/hello.dir/libhello.c.o: plugin needed to handle lto object
...
/usr/bin/ranlib: libhello.c.o: plugin needed to handle lto object

可以通过给出 ar 来解决和 ranlib选项:

--plugin=$(gcc --print-file-name=liblto_plugin.so)

然而，GNU ranlib只是 ar -s 的同义词, 和 gcc-ar是一个 ar 的包装提供该插件。

CMake 的 C 静态库构建模板是:

CMAKE_C_ARCHIVE_CREATE ( = <CMAKE_AR> qc <TARGET> <LINK_FLAGS> <OBJECTS>)
CMAKE_C_ARCHIVE_FINISH ( = <CMAKE_RANLIB> <TARGET>)

对于 GNU ar相当于:

CMAKE_C_ARCHIVE_CREATE ( = <CMAKE_AR> qcs <TARGET> <LINK_FLAGS> <OBJECTS>)
CMAKE_C_ARCHIVE_FINISH ( = true) # Or any other no-op command

因此，通过这些设置加上:

SET(CMAKE_AR  "gcc-ar")

我们很好。

对于 C++ 项目，当然设置 CMAKE_CXX_ARCHIVE_CREATE和 CMAKE_CXX_ARCHIVE_FINISH
