The round-trip passes were introduced in r193300. The intention of the change was to make sure that LLD is capable of reading end writing such file formats. But that turned out to be yet another over-designed stuff that had been slowing down everyday development. The passes ran after the core linker and before the writer. If you had an additional piece of information that needs to be passed from front-end to the writer, you had to invent a way to save the data to YAML/Native. These passes forced us to do that even if that data was not needed to be represented neither in an object file nor in an executable/DSO. It doesn't make sense. We don't need these passes. http://reviews.llvm.org/D7480 llvm-svn: 230069
