testing of clang/lld,right?

Systemd fails to build with Clang-14 when used with LLD as linker (gold is fine) at Test 530/960 (test-hashmap). It would be great if that was fixed before the release.

Seems to work fine here with clang-14.0.0~pre20211220.g4ece4cd77e6648-5.fc36.x86_64 and lld-13.0.0-2.fc36.x86_64. Please open a bug upstream with exact compiler and linker versions and the logs.

Obviously you can't

I've reported my issue upstream: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/21847

Building with LLVM/Clang-14 and GOLD succeeds - the issue shows up when specifically using LLD-14 as linker (c7f96d5ab188bf371f8096ed0a98f91f18a5435a).

I think everyone is chirping you here because you're assuming this is a systemd bug when every linker except a prerelease version of LLD links it just fine. Have you stopped to consider that this may be an LLD bug?

Since LLD 13 is known to work, why not bisect down to the LLD commit that breaks this case, and figure out if the patch is even correct? That would be a much more useful way to report this bug; whether it's LLD's problem, or systemd's.

If you read the issue thread in the meantime, you'd find that I found a genuine issue which deserves to be fixed. And no, it turned out not to be a LLD bug (btw LLD-13 didn't work with my config either).

That's what I love about open source software, you find a bug, you can report it and hopefully someone more knowledgeable with that piece of software can find a solution which eventually results in a bug fix helping every user. And you people should not draw your conclusions too early just because someone is using an experimental compiler. It's not always the compiler's fault.
