Revise the coverage mapping format to reduce binary size by: 1. Naming function records and marking them `linkonce_odr`, and 2. Compressing filenames. This shrinks the size of llc's coverage segment by 82% (334MB -> 62MB) and speeds up end-to-end single-threaded report generation by 10%. For reference the compressed name data in llc is 81MB (__llvm_prf_names). Rationale for changes to the format: - With the current format, most coverage function records are discarded. E.g., more than 97% of the records in llc are *duplicate* placeholders for functions visible-but-not-used in TUs. Placeholders *are* used to show under-covered functions, but duplicate placeholders waste space. - We reached general consensus about giving (1) a try at the 2017 code coverage BoF [1]. The thinking was that using `linkonce_odr` to merge duplicates is simpler than alternatives like teaching build systems about a coverage-aware database/module/etc on the side. - Revising the format is expensive due to the backwards compatibility requirement, so we might as well compress filenames while we're at it. This shrinks the encoded filenames in llc by 86% (12MB -> 1.6MB). See CoverageMappingFormat.rst for the details on what exactly has changed. Fixes PR34533 [2], hopefully.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // C Language Family Front-end //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// Welcome to Clang. This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project. Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer. If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant web sites. Here are some pointers: Information on Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/ Building and using Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html Clang Static Analyzer: http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/ Information on the LLVM project: http://llvm.org/ If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is on the Clang development mailing list: http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev If you find a bug in Clang, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker: http://llvm.org/bugs/
