The short answer is: it's used when building GCC, -not for tests, so you all shouldn't need to use it. - -test/Libraries contains the LLVM "system libraries", which are linked to -programs when the linker is run with the appropriate -l switch (for -example -lm links in the "math" library). In general, these libraries are -just stubbed out libraries, because noone has had the time to do a full -glibc port to LLVM. - -Problems arise because the makefiles have a number of hardcoded paths in -it that are used to copy files around and install the libraries, which -cause problems if anyone (except for me) uses them. I'm sorry a better -system isn't in place yet for these libraries, but if you just ignore -them, they won't cause you any harm. :) - --Chris - +This directory contains the various runtime libraries used by components of +the LLVM compiler. For example, the automatic pool allocation transformation +inserts calls to an external pool allocator library. This runtime library is +an example of the type of library that lives in these directories.
