Using multiple context used to be a really big memory saving because we could free memory from each file while the linker proceeded with the symbol resolution. We are getting lazier about reading data from the bitcode, so I was curious if this was still a good tradeoff. One thing that is a bit annoying is that we still have to copy the symbol names. The problem is that the names are stored in the Module and get freed when we move the module bits during linking. Long term I think the solution is to add a symbol table to the bitcode. That way IRObject file will not need to use a Module or a Context and we can drop it while still keeping a StringRef to the names. This patch is still be an interesting medium term improvement. When linking llvm-as without debug info this patch is a small speedup: master: 29.861877513 seconds patch: 29.814533787 seconds With debug info the numbers are master: 34.765181469 seconds patch: 34.563351584 seconds The peak memory usage when linking llvm-as with debug info was master: 599.10MB patch: 600.13MB llvm-svn: 267921 |
