Apple devtools use this to locate the dSYM files for a given binary. The UUID is computed based on an MD5 hash of the binary's contents. In order to hash the contents, we must first write them, but LC_UUID itself must be part of the written contents in order for all the offsets to be calculated correctly. We resolve this circular paradox by first writing an LC_UUID with an all-zero UUID, then updating the UUID with its real value later. I'm not sure there's a good way to test that the value of the UUID is "as expected", so I've just checked that it's present.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
This directory and its sub-directories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The README briefly describes how to get started with building LLVM. For more information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Getting Started with the LLVM System
Taken from https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html.
Overview
Welcome to the LLVM project!
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and converts it into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer. It also contains basic regression tests.
C-like languages use the Clang front end. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
The LLVM Getting Started documentation may be out of date. The Clang Getting Started page might have more accurate information.
This is an example work-flow and configuration to get and build the LLVM source:
-
Checkout LLVM (including related sub-projects like Clang):
-
git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git -
Or, on windows,
git clone --config core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
-
-
Configure and build LLVM and Clang:
-
cd llvm-project -
mkdir build -
cd build -
cmake -G <generator> [options] ../llvmSome common build system generators are:
Ninja--- for generating Ninja build files. Most llvm developers use Ninja.Unix Makefiles--- for generating make-compatible parallel makefiles.Visual Studio--- for generating Visual Studio projects and solutions.Xcode--- for generating Xcode projects.
Some Common options:
-
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='...'--- semicolon-separated list of the LLVM sub-projects you'd like to additionally build. Can include any of: clang, clang-tools-extra, libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind, lldb, compiler-rt, lld, polly, or debuginfo-tests.For example, to build LLVM, Clang, libcxx, and libcxxabi, use
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;libcxx;libcxxabi". -
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=directory--- Specify for directory the full path name of where you want the LLVM tools and libraries to be installed (default/usr/local). -
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=type--- Valid options for type are Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, and MinSizeRel. Default is Debug. -
-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=On--- Compile with assertion checks enabled (default is Yes for Debug builds, No for all other build types).
-
cmake --build . [-- [options] <target>]or your build system specified above directly.-
The default target (i.e.
ninjaormake) will build all of LLVM. -
The
check-alltarget (i.e.ninja check-all) will run the regression tests to ensure everything is in working order. -
CMake will generate targets for each tool and library, and most LLVM sub-projects generate their own
check-<project>target. -
Running a serial build will be slow. To improve speed, try running a parallel build. That's done by default in Ninja; for
make, use the option-j NNN, whereNNNis the number of parallel jobs, e.g. the number of CPUs you have.
