An global value in the `llvm.used` list does not have GC root semantics on ELF targets. This will be changed in a subsequent backend patch. Change some `llvm.used` in the ELF code path to use `llvm.compiler.used` to prevent undesired GC root semantics. Change one extern "C" alias (due to `__attribute__((used))` in extern "C") to use `llvm.compiler.used` on all targets. GNU ld has a rule "`__start_/__stop_` references from a live input section retain the associated C identifier name sections", which LLD may drop entirely (currently refined to exclude SHF_LINK_ORDER/SHF_GROUP) in a future release (the rule makes it clumsy to GC metadata sections; D96914 added a way to try the potential future behavior). For `llvm.used` global values defined in a C identifier name section, keep using `llvm.used` so that the future LLD change will not affect them. rnk kindly categorized the changes: ``` ObjC/blocks: this wants GC root semantics, since ObjC mainly runs on Mac. MS C++ ABI stuff: wants GC root semantics, no change OpenMP: unsure, but GC root semantics probably don't hurt CodeGenModule: affected in this patch to *not* use GC root semantics so that __attribute__((used)) behavior remains the same on ELF, plus two other minor use cases that don't want GC semantics Coverage: Probably want GC root semantics CGExpr.cpp: refers to LTO, wants GC root CGDeclCXX.cpp: one is MS ABI specific, so yes GC root, one is some other C++ init functionality, which should form GC roots (C++ initializers can have side effects and must run) CGDecl.cpp: Changed in this patch for __attribute__((used)) ``` Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D97446
