Re: Linking with lld instead of ld/gold

I believe all three linkers (bfd, gold and lld) can currently do LTO on LLVM bitcode. Naively I'd assume getting cross-compilation-unit optimization combining rust and clang compile units is more of a build system issue than a linker one. -Jeff On Mon, Aug 14, 2017 at 2:16 AM, Henri Sivonen

Linking with lld instead of ld/gold

Thanks to bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1336978, it is now possible to link with LLD (the linker from the LLVM toolchain) on Linux instead of bfd or gold. On my laptop (a recent Carbon X1), the performance gain for libxul linking is quite important: * 7 seconds for LLD * 15
