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. --- [1] http://libcxx.llvm.org/ [2] https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libc%2B%2Babi [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libc%2B%2Babi/ [4] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1332306 [5] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1415512#c1 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
