As proposed in: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/improving-the-reproducibility-of-linker-benchmarking/86057 This is a Nix recipe for collecting reproducers for benchmarking purposes in a reproducible way. It works by injecting a linker wrapper that embeds a reproducer tarball into a non-allocated section of every linked object, which generally causes them to be smuggled out of the build tree in a section of the final binaries. It may be used in conjunction with the script lld/utils/run_benchmark.py to measure the relative performance of linker changes or compare the performance of different linkers.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
