BitCode Support

[loretoparisi]

Getting this XCode error when compiling the example ios app

ld: '/Volumes/MacHDD2/Developmemt/AI/torch-ios/Torch.framework/Torch(THStorage.c.o)' does not contain bitcode. You must rebuild it with bitcode enabled (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE), obtain an updated library from the vendor, or disable bitcode for this target. for architecture arm64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

The Torch.framework should be compiled using the C compiler flag -fembed-bitcode in order to enable bitcode.

@loretoparisi Added support for BitCode, will push to the repo. Thanks for the heads up.

Great, thank you 👍
To double check you can then run

$otool -l Mylib.framework/Versions/Current/Mylib | grep __LLVM

and if you see LLVM segments like

segname __LLVM
segname __LLVM
segname __LLVM

then we have the bitcode done!

Hi Guys,
I get following error while compile.
clang: error: unknown argument: '-fembed-bitcode'
If I remove -fembed-bitcode option from EXTRA_FLAGS in generate_ios_framework it compiles fine.
Here is the full log

./generate_ios_framework

@sagarwaghmare69 if you run

$ cd /Applications/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/
$ ./xcodebuild -version 

which version you get?
