# Library stubs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory contains stubs for SerenityOS libraries (LibC, LibM, LibDl, LibPthread)
|
||
|
|
that are referenced from the LLVM runtime libraries. These are needed by the linker
|
||
|
|
in order to add the required `DT_NEEDED` entries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Do these need to be updated?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generally, no. LLVM does not use the header files to decide which functionality it can
|
||
|
|
use. After adding a new function to a header, you don't have to worry about LLVM
|
||
|
|
toolchain builds failing because the symbol is not present in the stubs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How to generate these?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, you need to have a working SerenityOS installation that's been built by the
|
||
|
|
Clang toolchain. Then, using the `llvm-ifs` tool, these libraries need to be converted
|
||
|
|
into a stripped-down stub form. To do that, run the following command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
Toolchain/Local/clang/bin/llvm-ifs --output-format=ELF --output=<path-to-stub> <path-to-original>
|
||
|
|
```
