2024-10-01jit: Require at least LLVM 14, if enabled.Peter Eisentraut
Remove support for LLVM versions 10-13. The default on all non-EOL'd OSes represented in our build farm will be at least LLVM 14 when PostgreSQL 18 ships.

2024-05-16jit: Remove {llvm-config,clang}-N configure probes.Thomas Munro
Previously we searched for llvm-config-N and clang-N as well as the unversioned names, and maintained a list of expected values of N. There doesn't seem to be any reason to think that the default llvm-config and clang won't be good enough, and if they aren't, they can be overridden with LLVM_CONFIG and CLANG, so let's stop maintaining that list. The list had not been updated since LLVM 7 with no complaints, so commit 820b5af73dc probably should have just removed it when dropping support for 7, instead of trying to be helpful by bringing it up to date with recent version numbers. The Meson build system didn't have that, so no change there.

2024-01-25jit: Require at least LLVM 10.Thomas Munro
Remove support for older LLVM versions. The default on common software distributions will be at least LLVM 10 when PostgreSQL 17 ships. Reviewed-by: Peter Eisentraut <peter@eisentraut.org> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BhUKGLhNs5geZaVNj2EJ79Dx9W8fyWUU3HxcpZy55sMGcY%3DiA%40mail.gmail.com
2023-10-22Log LLVM library version in configure output.Thomas Munro
When scanning build farm results, it's useful to be able to see which version is in use. For the Meson build system, this information was already displayed. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4022690.1697852728%40sss.pgh.pa.us
2020-12-08jit: configure: Explicitly reference 'native' component.Andres Freund
Until recently 'native' was implicitly included via 'orcjit', but a change included in LLVM 11 (not yet released) removed a number of such indirect component references.

2019-02-09Use better comment marker in Autoconf inputPeter Eisentraut
The comment marker "#" is copied to the output, so it's only appropriate for comments that make sense in the shell output. For comments about the Autoconf language, "dnl" should be used.
2018-11-19Postpone LLVM-related uses of AC_CHECK_DECLS.Tom Lane
Calling AC_CHECK_DECLS before we've finished setting up the compiler's CFLAGS seems like a pretty risky proposition, especially now that the first use of that macro will result in a test to see whether the compiler gives warning or error for undeclared built-in functions. That answer could very easily get changed later than where PGAC_LLVM_SUPPORT is called; furthermore, it's hardly unlikely that flags such as -D_GNU_SOURCE could change visibility of declarations. Hence, be a little less cavalier about where to do LLVM-related tests. This results in v11 and HEAD doing the warning-or-error check at the same place in the script as older branches are doing it, which seems like a good thing. Per further thought about commits 0b59b0e8b and 16fbac39f.
2018-09-13Detect LLVM 7 without specifying binaries explicitly.Andres Freund
Before this commit LLVM 7 was supported, but only if one explicitly provided LLVM_CONFIG= and CLANG= paths. As LLVM 7 is the first version that includes our upstreamed debugging and profiling features, and as debian is planning to default to 7 due to wider architecture support, it seems good to support auto-detecting that version.

2018-08-24LLVMJIT: LLVMGetHostCPUFeatures now is upstream, use LLMV version if available.Andres Freund
Noticed thanks to buildfarm animal seawasp. Author: Andres Freund Backpatch: v11-, where LLVM based JIT compliation was introduced.
2018-07-23LLVMJIT: Adapt to API changes in gdb and perf support.Andres Freund
During the work of upstreaming my previous patches for gdb and perf support the API changed. Adapt. Normally this wouldn't necessarily be something to backpatch, but the previous API wasn't upstream, and at least the gdb support is quite useful for debugging. Author: Andres Freund Backpatch: 11, where LLVM based JIT support was added.
2018-03-21Add configure infrastructure (--with-llvm) to enable LLVM support.Andres Freund
LLVM will be used for *optional* Just-in-time compilation support. This commit just adds the configure infrastructure that detects LLVM. No documentation has been added for the --with-llvm flag, that'll be added after the actual supporting code has been added.
