Hi,
I have searched the web for using lto with mspgcc, and it appears that
it is not yet officially supported. However, minus one minor bug it does
appear to work. The bug is if main is included in the lto then main does
not show up in the binary. The obvious workaround is to place a wrapper
around main. I give an example of what I mean below. The example shows
that inlining across object files works (specifically the externally
defined get_value is inlined in sub_main). It was compiled with
mspgcc-20120911.
Can anyone comment further on the state of lto support in mspgcc? Are
there any show stoppers I am likely to encounter when trying to compile
more complex code than this simple example?
Thanks,
Matt
