@brikler Actually all are correct. These are just the verison's of llvm which where used for building. Actually I would go for the llvm-bolt-14 one, since it is the latest stable version. The -15 version is basically a build from the latest git commit, so does not mean to be stable.

I will sort out the server a bit with the llvm-bolt versions, I did some testing since at kernel building I found some issues but got them sorted out

What you mean how you can verify it ? You mean if clang where optimized by bolt ? Actually I let all time the optimized binary as default in called "clang-14" for example, then the original binary which is called "clang-14.org" and also add the profile (fdata) which where used to optimize the binary. So you can compare for example the compile time of each binary and see the performance difference and also some scripts which are helping in the usage of llvm-bolt.

Take a watch here for more infos about llvm-bolt:

Because the path: I saw the the export PATH command did somehow not correctly work. So I will soon push a new commit which fixes that when enabling options=(bolt).

What do you think about the path: ~/.toolchain/llvm ?

Regards.

@ptr1337

1) there are 3 llvm-bolt packages: llvm-bolt.tar.zst, llvm-bolt-13.tar.zst, llvm-bolt-14.tar.zst, and llvm-bolt-15.tar.zstwhat is the correct one?

2) i would prefer ~/toolchain/llvm-bolt as a hidden folder, because ~/ looks cleaner :) but for now, i will follow you

edit how can i verify if he package is optimized, or not?

@blackout

Just saw myself and its now fixed. Im sorry, next time I should run shellcheck before.

Fixed!

@ptr1337 Thanks for your efforts. Today's update gives me

/usr/share/makepkg/buildenv/mold.sh: line 18: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
/usr/share/makepkg/buildenv/mold.sh: line 18: `    check_buildoption "mold" "y"; then;'

@brikler

Sorry for late response. I did updated the patches, if you want to usea bolted toolchain place it to: ~/toolchain/llvm-bolt

You can find here prebolted llvm toolchains:

https://mirror.cachyos.org/

Simply download and extract it to there.

@blackout

fixed.

hi,

is this export correct? i ask, because it's your ~/

buildenv_bolt() {
  if
  check_buildoption "bolt" "y"; then
  export PATH="/home/ptr1337/Documents/llvm/bin:$PATH"
  fi
}

to save for you i little time, if it is stored in~/Documents:

buildenv_bolt() {
  if
  check_buildoption "bolt" "y"; then
  export PATH="/home/$USER/Documents/llvm/bin:$PATH"
  fi
}

i don't know if this export necessary, but there should be a hint imo

No, actually if compiling something with GCC you would need to have GCC-12(-git) or need to patch gcc11 and also compile it on your own first. If you compile something with llvm, you can simply enable it with removing at option from "!mold" to "mold".

You can also use simply your old makepkg.conf, and add at options mold, then its also enabled.

Here you can take a watch at my makepkg.conf:

https://github.com/ptr1337/dotfiles/blob/master/config/makepkg.conf#L116=

If you need gcc-git, its precompiled in the repo's which I provide, their you can also find all core and extra packages precompiled in x86-64-v3.

Do I need to uncomment anything in the makepkg-optimize.conf or is it good to go? I noticed there are two extra CFLAGS lines that are commented out. (I'm a total noob btw, I know enough to get around) Is this package designed with a completely vanilla makepkg.conf file in mind? I had already tweaked mine tiny bit.
