Hmmm... usually it's dynamic libs that need PIC, not static. Are you sure you didn't flip the sense here?

For non-Windows systems, dynamic libraries require position independent code (aka PIC). On Linux, vcpkg default toolchain, on x86_64, uses static libraries by default:

vcpkg/triplets/x64-linux.cmake

Lines 1 to 5 in 8e1f46d

set(VCPKG_TARGET_ARCHITECTURE x64)
set(VCPKG_CRT_LINKAGE dynamic)
set(VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE static)
set(VCPKG_CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux)

But toolchain adds -fPIC as well:

vcpkg/scripts/toolchains/linux.cmake

Lines 51 to 52 in 8e1f46d

string(APPEND CMAKE_C_FLAGS_INIT " -fPIC ${VCPKG_C_FLAGS} ")
string(APPEND CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_INIT " -fPIC ${VCPKG_CXX_FLAGS} ")

That means that static libraries will be created, but with position independent code inside. That allows to link those static libraries to shared libraries.

The issue #13827 is a bug with GMP or MPIR, because GMP and MPIR have assembler code, to speed-up critical algorithms. That is why GMP and MPIR needs the macro PIC defined (with -DPIC, or with the option --with-pic to ./configure).

PIC is already the default for shared libraries. We can add the option --with-pic:

  • only to static builds, like in MPIR port file,
  • or to any kind of build, like in GMP port file,

and that will have the same behavior: both static and dynamic builds will have PIC code.

Makes sense 👍. Should we add a comment or something indicating that?

I was told that it is a concious decision that vcpkg always uses PIC, even for static triplets, to allow mixing of static and shared libs. It doesn't need to be documented per port. If there is a need to add a comment, it should be in a central location.

@dg0yt I don't mean that overall consistency decision, I mean something like:

# Add --with-pic even in static for consistency with vcpkg's toolchain.
# Note that this is necessary for GMP's `-DPIC` rather than `-fPIC`.
