Martin Storsjo cdf126ebec [COFF] Link crtend.o as the last object file
When faced with command line options such as "crtbegin.o appmain.o
-lsomelib crtend.o", GNU ld pulls in all necessary object files from
somelib before proceeding to crtend.o.

LLD operates differently, only loading object files from any
referenced static libraries after processing all input object files.

This uses a similar hack as in the ELF linker. Here, it moves crtend.o
to the end of the vector of object files. This makes sure that
terminator chunks for sections such as .eh_frame gets ordered last,
fixing DWARF exception handling for libgcc and gcc's crtend.o.

LLVM Linker (lld)

This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for the LLVM Linker, a modular cross platform linker which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project.

lld is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt.

Benchmarking

In order to make sure various developers can evaluate patches over the same tests, we create a collection of self contained programs.
