First, this patch cleans up the parsing of the PIC and PIE family of
options in the driver. The existing logic failed to claim arguments all
over the place resulting in kludges that marked the options as unused.
Instead actually walk all of the arguments and claim them properly.
We now treat -f{,no-}{pic,PIC,pie,PIE} as a single set, accepting the
last one on the commandline. Previously there were lots of ordering bugs
that could creep in due to the nature of the parsing. Let me know if
folks would like weird things such as "-fPIE -fno-pic" to turn on PIE,
but disable full PIC. This doesn't make any sense to me, but we could in
theory support it.
Options that seem to have intentional "trump" status (-static, -mkernel,
etc) continue to do so and are commented as such.
Next, a -pie-level flag is threaded into the frontend, rigged to
a language option, and handled preprocessor, setting up the appropriate
defines. We'll now have the correct defines when compiling with -fpie.
The one place outside of the preprocessor that was inspecting the PIC
level (as opposed to the relocation model, which is set and handled
separately, yay!) is in the GNU ObjC runtime. I changed it to exactly
preserve existing behavior. If folks want to change its behavior in the
face of PIE, they can do that in a separate patch.
Essentially the only functionality changed here is the preprocessor
defines and bug-fixes to the argument management.
Tests have been updated and extended to test all of this a bit more
thoroughly.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // C Language Family Front-end //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// Welcome to Clang. This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project. Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer. If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant web sites. Here are some pointers: Information on Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/ Building and using Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html Clang Static Analyzer: http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/ Information on the LLVM project: http://llvm.org/ If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is on the Clang development mailing list: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev If you find a bug in Clang, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker: http://llvm.org/bugs/
