Hi, Does lld support linker relaxation that may shrink code size? As far as I see lld seems to assume that the content of input sections to be fixed other than patching up relocations, but I believe some targets may benefit the extra optimization opportunity with relaxation. Specifically, I'm currently working on adding support for RISC-V in lld, and RISC-V heavily relies on linker relaxation

Hi, In our (non-C) compiler we use setjmp/longjmp to implement exception handling. For the initial implementation LLVM backend, I'm keeping that model. In order to ensure that changes performed in a try/setjmp==0 block survive the longjmp, the changes must be done via volatile operations. Given that volatility is a property of individual load/store instructions rather than of memory slots in

Hi all, At the recent LLVM developers' meeting, I presented a lightning talk on an approach to reduce the amount of dead debug data left in an executable following operations such as --gc-sections and duplicate COMDAT removal. In that presentation, I presented some figures based on linking a game that had been built by our downstream clang port and fragmented using the described approach.
