The unified LTO pipeline creates a single LTO bitcode structure that can be used by Thin or Full LTO. This means that the LTO mode can be chosen at link time and that all LTO bitcode produced by the pipeline is compatible, from an optimization perspective. This makes the behavior of LTO a bit more predictable by normalizing the set of LTO features supported by each LTO bitcode file. Example usage: # Compile and link. Select regular LTO at link time. clang -flto -funified-lto -fuse-ld=lld foo.c # Compile and link. Select ThinLTO at link time. clang -flto=thin -funified-lto -fuse-ld=lld foo.c # Link separately, using ThinLTO. clang -c -flto -funified-lto foo.c # -flto={full,thin} are identical in terms of compilation actions clang -flto=thin -fuse-ld=lld foo.o # pass --lto=thin to ld.lld # Link separately, using regular LTO. clang -c -flto -funified-lto foo.c clang -flto -fuse-ld=lld foo.o # pass --lto=full to ld.lld The RFC discussing the details and rational for this change is here: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-a-unified-lto-bitcode-frontend/61774
