Although the ABI (if one exists) doesn’t explicitly prohibit cross-code-object function calls—particularly since our loader can handle them—such calls are not actually allowed in any of the officially supported programming models. However, this limitation has some nuances. For instance, the loader can handle cross-code-object global variables, which complicates the situation further. Given this complexity, assuming a closed-world model at link time isn’t always safe. To address this, this PR introduces an option that enables this assumption, providing end users the flexibility to enable it for improved compiler optimizations. However, it is the user’s responsibility to ensure they do not violate this assumption.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure ================================ This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and runtime environments. LLVM is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt. Please see the documentation provided in docs/ for further assistance with LLVM, and in particular docs/GettingStarted.rst for getting started with LLVM and docs/README.txt for an overview of LLVM's documentation setup. If you are writing a package for LLVM, see docs/Packaging.rst for our suggestions.
