[Activity] [TCWG-1319] Link AOSP with LLD. Closed this out as I've gone as far as I can profitably go without being an Android expert. - With trunk LLD I can now link and boot AOSP with LLD without any use_clang_lld=false on both Arm and AArch64 emulators. I also managed to get it to boot on a Hikey960 (aarch64). - Communicated recent additions to LLD in aid of building AOSP, and extra command line options needed to the Google team.
Landed support for GCC inline assembly constraint S in LLVM. Some comments on LTO + linker script proposal on llvm-dev mailing list. Started thinking in more detail about ICF=safe. - Decided that LLVM was a better place to do this than clang after attempting to use libtooling. - There is an existing LLVM pass called merge functions that does what ICF does but at the LLVM IR level -- This is off by default, maybe worth looking at as part of LTO and code-size reductions. - Started to write a prototype pass that uses Function::isAddressTaken() although I think that this may give me too pessimistic a result.
