回复: [PATCH] LoongArch: Use medium cmodel build libc_nonshared.a.
Commit Message
Sorry for the delay.
+# All the objects in lib*_nonshared.a need to be compiled with medium code
+# model or large applications may fail to link.
+CFLAGS-.oS += -mcmodel=medium
We just need add -mcmodel=medium to four files not all.
Here are my patches:

In my build libc_nonshared.a only contains:
- at_quick_exit.oS
- atexit.oS
- pthread_atfork.oS
- stack_chk_fail_local.oS

Small code model can support a 128MiB .text section, and most
applications have a .text section < 128MiB. But Firefox libxul.so can
be extremely large.
It's not worthy to pay the cost everywhere just for satisfying a monster
application.

OK, I will use CFLAGS-.oS += -mcmodel=medium and have-cmodel-medium.

I still prefer "all", to prevent subtle breakages if someone adds a file
into or removes a file from libc_nonshared.a. Currently other .oS files
are in libsupport_nonshared.a which is used by the test suite and not
installed.

It looks like we are using "-" instead of "_" in the first parameter of
LIBC_CONFIG_VAR calls everywhere. Note that it's a variable name in a
Makefile, not a shell script.
And I'd remove the "enable" prefix: this prefix makes the variable looks
like "something can be turned on/off by `--{enable,disable}-cmodel-
medium'" but it's not true.
So I think "cmodel-medium" or "have-cmodel-medium" would be a better
name.
