This is an area that I always find a bit confusing. There is a lot of cruft in GCC regarding -fpic / -fPIC because of the many subtargets. I can say with confidence that -fPIC behavior is the default for powerpc64le (more correctly, for ELFv2 ABI), and I'm pretty sure that's true for powerpc64 (ELFv1) as well. Certainly -fpic and -fPIE are not defaults for either ABI. The weird crufty stuff arises with 32-bit PPC, where R30 is reserved to point to a PIC offset table that doesn't exist for the 64-bit ABIs, so far as I can tell. So, longwinded, caveat-filled response is, I think this is just fine. :) https://reviews.llvm.org/D26564 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
