将程序的bitcode附加到它的二进制文件中

Question

LLVM中是否存在传递或某些内容，它会将给定的llvm::Module序列化为二进制形式，然后将此数据放入源模块中？因此，当我将其链接到二进制文件时，我最终将编译代码的bitcode表示与单个文件中的本机代码链接？

如果没有，你能就如何实现这个提出一些建议吗？

Answer 1

This functionality is partially implemented in Clang/LLVM now and is called ThinLTO. It is now possible to run clang -c -emit-llvm -flto=thin source.cpp and this would produce a LLVM bitcode file with same bitcode embedded in it. Support for writing native object file with embedded bitcode is being worked on.
