History

Rafael Espindola c944447e56 Slit lib/Linker in two. A linker normally has two stages: symbol resolution and "moving stuff". In lib/Linker there is the complication of lazy linking some globals, but it was still far more mixed than it needed to. This splits the linker into a lower level IRMover and the linker proper. The IRMover just takes a list of globals to move and a callback that lets the user control what is lazy linked. The main motivation is that now tools/gold (and soon lld) can use their own symbol resolution to instruct IRMover what to do. llvm-svn: 255254		2015-12-10 14:19:35 +00:00

The LLVM Gold LTO Plugin
========================

This directory contains a plugin that is designed to work with binutils
gold linker. At present time, this is not the default linker in
binutils, and the default build of gold does not support plugins.

See docs/GoldPlugin.html for complete build and usage instructions.

NOTE: libLTO and LLVMgold aren't built without PIC because they would fail
to link on x86-64 with a relocation error: PIC and non-PIC can't be combined.
As an alternative to passing --enable-pic, you can use 'make ENABLE_PIC=1' in
your entire LLVM build.
