LLVM build does not prefix libraries on Linux about enzyme HOT 4 CLOSED

Started looking into this but then got sidetracked.

I want to confirm what LLVM's convention is for naming these sorts of libraries internally, but it shouldn't be hard to modify the create llvm library builder to give this a more standard name.

from enzyme.

the only nuisance is that the user has to copy it manually to libenzyme.so right now when using enzyme as a system library and not compiling it in the build script

from enzyme.

So I checked and it does appear that the standard convention within LLVM for these sorts of libraries (usually intended to be dynamically loaded into clang/opt) is to not prefix it. That said, I think a symlink from LLVMEnzyme-X.so to libenzyme-X.so would work here, no?

Also fwiw, I think it's also possible to manually specify a library with l:path/to/library if that makes it easier til we add the symlink.

yep prefixing with : can be used to disable lib prefixing.
