Included; please let me know what you think. ================ Comment at: clang/include/clang/Basic/AttrDocs.td:63-76 +The attribute, when attached to a function definition, causes the function to +be emitted even if it appears that the function is not referenced and can +otherwise be omitted. + +The attribute, when attached to a variable definition with static storage, +causes the variable to be emitted even if it appears that the variable is not +referenced. ---------------- ================ Comment at: clang/include/clang/Basic/AttrDocs.td:83-91 +This attribute only has effects on ELF targets that support SHF_GNU_RETAIN. +The attribute, when attached to a function or variable definition, if the +function or variable is emitted, causes the function or variable to be emitted +in a unique section with SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag. This ELF section flag prevents +garbage collection of the section by supported linkers (GNU ld and gold from +binutils 2.36 onwards, LLD 13 or newer). + ---------------- Repository: rG LLVM Github Monorepo CHANGES SINCE LAST ACTION https://reviews.llvm.org/D96838/new/ https://reviews.llvm.org/D96838 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
