Bug 182610 – [MIPS] JSC needs to be built with -latomic

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Guillaume Emont]

Since r228149, on MIPS we need to link with -latomic, since __atomic_fetch_add_8 is not available as a compiler intrinsic.

Similar comment to what's in the ChangeLog would be nice here as well.

In Source/WebKit/CMakeLists.txt, after line 780, there's a check
that tries to compile a snippet which uses “std::atomic<int64_t>”
and determines whether using libatomic is needed or not. Instead
of unconditionally adding the library as your patch does, could
you please change the CMake code there so it adds it conditionally?

The resulting snippet patch should be something like:

        if (ATOMIC_INT64_REQUIRES_LIBATOMIC)
            list(APPEND WebKit_LIBRARIES atomic)
   +        list(APPEND JavaScriptCore_LIBRARIES atomic)
        endif ()

Thanks!

Correction: This is in the CMakeLists.txt for *WebKit*, so it would
be better to move the check to one of the top-level CMakeLists.txt
and then in Source/JavaScriptCore/CMakeLists.txt append the library
conditionally to the list.
