...mpiler.used so that optimizations don’t modify them, and then optimizations incorrectly modify them. LLVM *really* doesn't expect library functions to have local linkage. And I’m not sure internal linkage is the right model anyway. I see two paths forward: 1. Add a new linkage type called “linker_internal”, which LLVM treats as a type of non-local linkage, but gets emitted as internal. This might be worth it if linkers don’t dead strip external symbols. 2. If linkers *do* dead strip external symbols, then we should not internalize user-supplied library functions in -internalize. Do l...
