<pre>
Suppose we have a simple test program called test.cxx and we have polly built dynamically along with LLVM (with `LLVM_POLLY_LINK_INTO_TOOLS=OFF`):
```
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
```
Compiling it with `clang++ -fplugin=LLVMPolly.so -mllvm -polly -mllvm -polly-parallel -o test test.cxx` works as expected, but what happens when compiling assembly?
To test it, we create our test assembly `test.S` with `clang++ -fplugin=LLVMPolly.so -mllvm -polly -mllvm -polly-parallel -S -c -o test.S test.cxx` and then we try to compile `test.S` as object, then we get:
```
clang++ -fplugin=LLVMPolly.so -mllvm -polly -mllvm -polly-parallel -c -o test.S.o test.S

```
It seems that it is not loading the plugin and not recognizing the options that worked in previous phases (I assume because they are not needed/used when compiling assembly)
I think this is a bug because in this case it is much better to load and ignore plugin rather than throw an error because polly use flag might be present in `C{XX}FLAGS` making the whole program to fail compile.
One real example of it is the LLVM library itself which when polly flags are used fails to compile with:
