Get LLVM's libc++abi into Fedora, BZ1332306

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings,

The LLVM project has been providing a C++ ABI for a while [1]. A naive user like I'm would presume Fedora easily ships with that, as the saying goes: “Fedora is a developer-friendly distro.” Unfortunately, that isn't the case for this instance and if one is using clang++, they have to link against the GCC's ABI instead of the LLVM's. Elsewhere, there is no such a quirk, see for instance [2] and [3].

Thanks to Tom Callaway, it's now more than 9 months that there is a candidate package for this very purpose [4]. If someone with a pedigree as that of "spot" resorts to saying: “I am waiting on a review for 1332306 in order to get libcxxabi into Fedora. I did not think it would take this long for that to happen.” [5], what a looker-by should think? Is this delay on purpose or is the review that difficult? Could some benefactor packager take over the review so that LLVM+CLANG are not any more like second-citizens in Fedora?

Thanks.
