This reverts commit 2ec6174bef4bc9ef3d5cedbffd7169017c9669c3.
New changes:
- Use explicit overloads of write(<int types>)
- Fix link error due to missing dependency (lib/Support)
- Updated tests and docs
Objective:
- Provide a common framework in LLVM for collecting various usage
metrics
- Characteristics:
- Extensible and configurable by:
- tools in LLVM that want to use it
- vendors in their downstream codebase
- tools users (as allowed by vendor)
Background:
The framework was originally proposed only for LLDB, but there were
quite a few requests to move it to llvm/lib given telemetry
is a common use case in a lot of tools, not just LLDB.
See more details on the design and discussions here on the RFC:
