dblaikie added inline comments.
================
Comment at: clang/lib/Serialization/ModuleManager.cpp:183
// Get a buffer of the file and close the file descriptor when done.
- Buf = FileMgr.getBufferForFile(NewModule->File, /*isVolatile=*/false);
+ Buf = FileMgr.getBufferForFile(NewModule->File, /*isVolatile=*/true);
}

Richard/Google use explicit modules, if that's the particular parameter you're
asking about.
So, yes, for Google's needs a solution that allows mmap to continue to be used
for explicit modules would suffice, I believe.
(not to in any way derail that from being addressed - I thought implicit
modules weren't race-y - they're hashed, etc, so they shouldn't collide/be
overwritten? Seems like a loss in performance to have to copy the whole thing
into memory rather than using mmap, if that could be avoided by more precise
hashing/collision avoidance?)
