kbuild: add -fno-discard-value-names to cmd_cc_ll_c
When debugging LLVM IR, it can be handy for clang to not discard value
names used for local variables and parameters. Compare the generated IR.
-fdiscard-value-names:
define i32 @core_sys_select(i32 %0, ptr %1, ptr %2, ptr %3, ptr %4) {
%6 = alloca i64
%7 = alloca %struct.poll_wqueues
%8 = alloca [64 x i32]
-fno-discard-value-names:
define i32 @core_sys_select(i32 %n, ptr %inp, ptr %outp, ptr %exp,
ptr %end_time) {
%expire.i = alloca i64
%table.i = alloca %struct.poll_wqueues
%stack_fds = alloca [64 x i32]
The rule for generating human readable LLVM IR (.ll) is only useful as a
debugging feature:
$ make LLVM=1 fs/select.ll
As Fangrui notes:
A LLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=off build of Clang defaults to
-fdiscard-value-names.
A LLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=on build of Clang defaults to
-fno-discard-value-names.
Explicitly enable -fno-discard-value-names so that the IR always contains
value names regardless of whether assertions were enabled or not.
Assertions generally are not enabled in releases of clang packaged by
distributions.
