...res, some floating point options like unsafe-fp-math, etc., those are (or can be made) explicit in the IR. Is that the way to go? We currently don't emit some of them in the IR, but I see that Clang does, so perhaps we should just mimic that. But some other options are not expressed in IR (e.g. FunctionSections, relocation model). I see that I can pass LLVM options to the plugin, so one way is to pass all non-default options as plugin-opt cmdline flags. I can't find code in Clang that does that though. Thanks for your advice, Johan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scru...

I've recently implemented profile guided section layout in llvm + lld using the Call-Chain Clustering (C³) heuristic from https://research.fb.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/cgo2017-hfsort-final1.pdf . In the programs I've tested it on I've gotten from 0% to 5% performance improvement over standard PGO with zero cases of slowdowns and up to 15% reduction in ITLB misses. There are
