[LLVMdev] AsmPrinter::EmitLinkage
...orm a similar function as MCAsmInfo, though this doesn't look to be responsible for directing the AsmPrinter, its only responsibility appears to be providing section assignment logic.
TLOF is designed to be specific to the object file, but ideally not target specific. This means we should have TLOFMacho but not TLOFX86Macho.
> Another candidate I considered what TargetAsmBackend, but that appears to be meant to sit behind MCStreamer.
Right, that is the actual implementation of the object writer for a specific target.

[LLVMdev] AsmPrinter::EmitLinkage
I have been looking over AsmPrinter::EmitLinkage (around line 195 of
lib\CodeGen\AsmPrinter\AsmPrinter.cpp) and it seems that its implementation
will vary quite a bit depending on what object file format is in use (MachO,
ELF, or COFF).
Would it make sense to delegate the implementation to a specialized object
from current the object file format?
I am tempted to make it the MCAsmInfo

In the context I am looking at, it would be specific to the object file. I
was just pointing out that as it stands, it appears to only be responsible
for section assignment, and not any logic that would affect the AsmPrinter's
decision on what to emit. I don'...
