The mold linker is a new linker for Linux that provides faster link
times compared to BFD ld, ld.gold and lld.
It can be found at https://github.com/rui314/mold
To build Qt with mold, ensure that the binary in your PATH and then
configure Qt with with either
cmake /path/to/qtbase -DINPUT_linker=mold
or
/path/to/qtbase/configure --linker mold
The change was tested with gcc 9, clang 10, clang 12, mold
1.0.0. Only qtbase and qtdeclarative (and dependencies) were tested.

Make sure to pass it to the link call instead by using

instead of

Note the flag that is passed is still via passed via the
compiler launcher and not directly to the linker.

Xcode allows building a project targeting either the device or
simulator sysroot in one single build dir, but for the sysroot
switching to work there should be no linker or compiler flags
referencing absolute paths of a specific sysroot.
During CMake configuration of a project targeting iOS, all found
system libraries will be within one single sysroot, either the device
one or the simulator one, whichever one was passed to
CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT. CMake will then generate the Xcode project
and pass those absolute paths, which makes sysroot switching within
Xcode not work.
To avoid that, the CMake documentation recommends passing linker and
framework flags of the form '-lfoo' and '-framework bar' instead of
absolute paths. Xcode then takes care of setting the correct framework
search path.
Zlib is one of the libraries found in the iOS sysroot and thus passed
as absolute path.
To avoid that, create a new FindWrapZLIB find script. The target it
creates will pass the absolute path to the library on non Apple
platforms and an -lz linker flag on Apple platforms (macOS and iOS).
To avoid issues with target global promotion when system PNG package
is found, ensure that a found ZLIB::ZLIB target is promoted to global
manually in src/gui/configure.cmake.

Use the same approach we use for iOS, which is to set multiple
CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES values and let the clang front end
deal with lipo-ing the final libraries.
For now, Qt can be configured to build universal macOS libraries by
passing 2 architectures to CMake, either via:
-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="x86_64;arm64"
or
-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="arm64;x86_64"
Currently we recommend specifying the intel x86_64 arch as the first
one, to get an intel slice configuration that is comparable to a
non-universal intel build.
Specifying the arm64 slice first could pessimize optimizations and
reduce the feature set for the intel slice due to the limitation
that we run configure tests only once.
The first specified architecture is the one used to do all the
configure tests.
It 'mostly' defines the common feature set of both architecture
slices, with the excepion of some special handling for sse2 and
neon instructions.
In the future we might want to run at least the Qt architecture config
test for all specified architectures, so that we can extract all the
supported sub-arches and instruction sets in a reliable way.
For now, we use the same sse2 hack as for iOS simulator_and_device
builds, otherwise QtGui fails to link due to missing
qt_memfill32_sse2 and other symbols.
The hack is somewhat augmented to ensure that reconfiguration
still succeeds (same issue happened with iOS). Previously the sse2
feature condition was broken due to force setting the feature
to be ON. Now the condition also checks for a special
QT_FORCE_FEATURE_sse2 variable which we set internally.
Note that we shouldn't build for arm64e, because the binaries
get killed when running on AS with the following message:
kernel: exec_mach_imgact: not running binary built against
preview arm64e ABI.
Aslo, by default, we disable the arm64 slice for qt sql plugins,
mostly because the CI provisioned sql libraries that we depend on only
contain x86_64 slices, and trying to build the sql plugins for both
slices will fail with linker errors.
This behavior can be disabled for all targets marked by
qt_internal_force_macos_intel_arch, by setting the
QT_FORCE_MACOS_ALL_ARCHES CMake option to ON.
To disble it per-target one can set
QT_FORCE_MACOS_ALL_ARCHES_${target} to ON.

Introduce a new feature called 'FEATURE_msvc_obj_debug_info' which
should allow usage of sccache for Windows MSVC configs.
Enabling the feature will replace the default '/Zi' compile flag
that CMake sets in Windows-MSVC.cmake with '/Z7'.
This ensures that the debug info is placed into the compiled object
file instead of placing it in the compilation .pdb file via
mspdbsrv.exe.
The final pdb file will still be created for shared libraries and
executables due to the linker '/debug' flag.
Static libraries will not have a .pdb file, instead the debug info
being embeeded in the .lib file.
The downsides of using '/Z7' are more disk space usage, slower
link times, more memory used for linking because the linker needs
to deal with more symbols.
The upside is that caching each indepedent cl.exe call is possible.
This is what Chromium uses with goma, and Firefox with sccache.
We're not enabling the feature by default to allow easier
testing (and switching it off) in the CI if it proves not to be
feasible.
It will probably have to be disabled at least for building
qtwebengine due to high memory requirements.
