Introduction
Link-Time Optimization (LTO) is a compiler toolchain feature that enables additional program optimizations by deferring optimization passes to link time.
Kernel
Build and link a kernel with:
- WITHOUT_CTF=yes
- WITHOUT_DTRACE=yes
- sys/conf/kern.mk -flto=thin (for all clang invocations)
Ports
LTO is enabled on LLVM 3.7, but it needs the Gold binutils ld(1) plugin.
To build with LTO, change your make.conf this way:
CC=/usr/local/bin/clang37 CXX=/usr/local/bin/clang++37 CPP=/usr/local/bin/clang-cpp37 CFLAGS.clang+=-flto NM=/usr/local/bin/nm NMFLAGS+=--plugin /usr/local/llvm37/lib/LLVMgold.so LD=/usr/local/bin/ld.gold LDFLAGS+=-fuse-ld=gold -Wl,--plugin /usr/local/llvm37/lib/LLVMgold.so
