The branch main has been updated by dim: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=cf1eaaf41cefe7e3aef45f6dab862191a3939ed8 commit cf1eaaf41cefe7e3aef45f6dab862191a3939ed8 Author: Dimitry Andric <dim@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2025-12-21 21:37:57 +0000 Commit: Dimitry Andric <dim@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2025-12-22 09:31:40 +0000 Reduce number of external symbols in libllvm, libclang and liblldb In commit 2e47f35be5dc libllvm, libclang and liblldb were converted into private shared libraries. This allowed clang, lld, lldb, and other llvm tools to be linked against these shared libraries, which makes them smaller and avoids duplication. However, upstream builds the shared libraries using several visibility options, which reduces the number of external symbols, and makes the libraries a bit smaller. On my test machine: * libprivatellvm.so goes from 75643 to 34706 symbols (~54% reduction) * libprivateclang.so goes from 53250 to 33531 symbols (~37% reduction) * libprivatelldb.so goes from 27242 to 18798 symbols (~31% reduction) Note: to get the full benefit, a clean build is required. Incremental builds should still work, but I didn't want to force a full rebuild on everybody.
