1 No lto

Bash
[shkzhang@recycler:~/testcpp/linker/test/nolto]$ clang++ foo.cpp main.cpp -Wl,-plugin-opt=save-temps

[shkzhang@recycler:~/testcpp/linker/test/nolto]$ ls
a.out  a.out.resolution.txt  foo.cpp  main.cpp

[shkzhang@recycler:~/testcpp/linker/test/nolto]$ file a.*
a.out:                ELF 64-bit LSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.10.0, not stripped
a.out.resolution.txt: empty

For some simple case, a.out.resolution.txt is empty.

2 Has lto

2.1 no emit-asm

Uee -flto -Wl,-plugin-opt=save-temps to get the temp files.

Bash
[shkzhang@recycler:~/testcpp/linker/test/nolto]$ clang++ foo.cpp main.cpp -Wl,-plugin-opt=save-temps -flto


[shkzhang@recycler:~/testcpp/linker/test/nolto]$ file a.*
a.out:                    ELF 64-bit LSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.10.0, not stripped
a.out.0.0.preopt.bc:      LLVM IR bitcode
a.out.0.2.internalize.bc: LLVM IR bitcode
a.out.0.4.opt.bc:         LLVM IR bitcode
a.out.0.5.precodegen.bc:  LLVM IR bitcode
a.out.lto.o:              ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
a.out.resolution.txt:     ASCII text


[shkzhang@recycler:~/testcpp/linker/test/nolto]$ ls
a.out                a.out.0.2.internalize.bc  a.out.0.5.precodegen.bc  a.out.resolution.txt  main.cpp
a.out.0.0.preopt.bc  a.out.0.4.opt.bc          a.out.lto.o              foo.cpp

LTO merges the IR for all files being linked and optimizes them as a single monolithic module.

  1. preopt.b: the merged IR just after merging and before performing any LTO optimizations.
  2. internalize.bc is after performing whole program internalization.
  3. opt.bc is after the optimization pipeline,
  4. precodegen.bc is immediately before native
  5. code generation.

Get the asm

Below command is equal

-plugin-opt=emit-asm is qual to --lto-emit-asm.

Bash
clang++ foo.cpp main.cpp -Wl,-plugin-opt=save-temps -flto -Wl,-plugin-opt=emit-asm
clang++ foo.cpp main.cpp -Wl,-plugin-opt=save-temps -flto -Wl,--lto-emit-asm
Bash
[shkzhang@recycler:~/testcpp/linker/test/test]$ clang++ foo.cpp main.cpp -Wl,-plugin-opt=save-temps -flto -Wl,-plugin-opt=emit-asm


[shkzhang@recycler:~/testcpp/linker/test/test]$ ls
a.out                a.out.0.2.internalize.bc  a.out.0.5.precodegen.bc  a.out.resolution.txt  main.cpp
a.out.0.0.preopt.bc  a.out.0.4.opt.bc          a.out.lto.o              foo.cpp


[shkzhang@recycler:~/testcpp/linker/test/test]$ file a.*
a.out:                    assembler source, ASCII text
a.out.0.0.preopt.bc:      LLVM IR bitcode
a.out.0.2.internalize.bc: LLVM IR bitcode
a.out.0.4.opt.bc:         LLVM IR bitcode
a.out.0.5.precodegen.bc:  LLVM IR bitcode
a.out.lto.o:              assembler source, ASCII text
a.out.resolution.txt:     ASCII text

a.out and a.out.lto.o will be same and they are the assembly file.

在SPEC的peak中，.o文件是bitcode，可以使用下面的命令得到assembly:

Bash
