avoid name conflicts (although conflicts with program IR like we're introd=
ucing in this commit). The changes in this commit should only be picked up =
by things that explicit include bsd.{lib,prog}.mk, however, and they also h=
ave slightly more esoteric names (e.g., progname.full.ll) that are less lik=
ely to cause a conflict. Perhaps I ought to have done an exp-run, but I sus=
pect that this commit will cause much less / no fallout. I don't suppose yo=
u have a list of the ports that failed after your r307823 change so that I =
could do spot checks?
As a bit of background, the original motivation for the .bco and .llo
files what that I wanted to differentiate between IR files produced from
single translation units (.c files) and IR files produced by llvm-link
so I didn't have to worry about things like name space collisions in the
case of transitions like:
clang llvm-link opt ld
(prog.c, utils.c) =3D> (prog.llo, util.llo) =3D> prog.ll =3D> prog.o =3D> p=
rog
Part of the fun is that you might instead want:
clang opt ld
(prog.c, utils.c) =3D> (prog.llo, util.llo) =3D> (prog.o, util.o) =3D> prog
and for extra fun you might insert instrumentation at any IR stage so
yet more suffixes may be required if your tools don't fit neatly into
clang, opt, etc plugins.
Make is lousy at this stuff so a certain about of ugliness is likely
to remain required.
