...e controlled by llvm code. While the compiler/linker nerd in me would love doing that, I could see this being very tricky to pull off consistenly on all platforms. We should not forget that there is a portable and proven solution: Just write the code! So here comes the strawman: static Statistic NumBlips("blips"); static cl::opt MyOpt("my-cool-option", cl::desc("bla")); static cl::opt AnotherOpt("bla", cl::desc("foo bar")); // Note that the constructors of Statistic and cl::opt would be reworked to be pure constexpr and do not run any code static v...

Given that LLVM has so many auto-registration systems (cl::opt, target registry, pass registry, statistics, I'm sure there's more), maybe we should spend the time to build an auto-registration system that doesn't involve static constructors? It needs custom code for every supported object file format, and is hard to get right when DSOs are involved, but in the long run it's
