I wanted to build QEMU under clang with a custom plugin (for the compiler itself). Via
--extra-cflags
, I shuttled the following into the CFLAGS:This did not build, meson threw an error, because it bungled the arguments given to the compiler, see #11184 for more details.
I believe that when meson goes about figuring out
'-Wl,--start-group'
and'-Wl,--end-group'
, it assumes that/usr/local/lib/carbon-collect.so
is a DSO in the build, when it is in fact a plugin to the compiler itself (which happens to be a shared library).It seems to me that anything could come after an '-Xclang'. Do other compilers out there have an analogous command-line option? Does this need to be configurable?
