[WPD] Reduce ThinLTO link time by avoiding unnecessary summary analysis (#164046) We are scanning through every single definition of a vtable across all translation units which is unnecessary in most cases. If this is a local, we want to make sure there isn't another local with the same GUID due to it having the same relative path. However, we were always scanning through every single summary in all cases. We can now check the new HasLocal flag added in PR164647 ahead of the loop, instead of checking on every iteration. This cut down a large thin link by around 6%, which was over half the time it spent in WPD. Note that we previously took the last conforming vtable summary, and now we use the first. This caused a test difference in one somewhat contrived test for vtables in comdats.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
