In the blog post you wrote: "<span style="text-indent:10px;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">In a few cases ThinLTO even outperforms full LTO, most likely because the higher scalability of ThinLTO allows using a more aggressive backend optimization pipeline (similar to that of a non-LTO build)." Is it due to optimizations not working (in full LTO case) after hitting some internal limits? If so, my understanding is that these limits are expressed in units not affected by IPA representation (like function size, number of basic blocks, etc, *not* total memory consumption) -- how ThinLTO helps to stay within them?</span></div><div id="m_-834816449868231099AppleMailSignature"><div style="text-indent:10px"><br></div><div style="text-indent:10px">Yours,</div><div style="text-indent:10px">Andrey</div></div><div><br>22 июля 2016 г., в 22:36, Teresa Johnson via llvm-dev <<a href="mailto:llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org" target="_blank">llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org</a>> написал(а):<br><br></div><div><div class="h5"><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">Hi Vikram,<div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>I'm not sure what part got committed in the 3.8 timeframe - it looks like that was released back in March?

<br>
I’m starting to try it out on a large piece of software and I’d like to make sure I know what to expect. The blog said it will be available in clang-3.9 but both clang-3.8 and trunk seem to have some degree of support for it. What is the status of ThinLTO in 3.8 (preferably) or trunk (otherwise)? Are either of these usable with multiple threads? What about for a distributed build?<br>
