<div class="">I have one more upside for GlobalISel developers: It would start populating the llvmlab build cache with binaries that do have globalisel compiled in.</div>
<div class="">It means that bisecting regressions in globalisel could be done using the llvmlab build cache.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">A minor self-ish upside for me personally is that the internal infrastructure I'm using uses an internal build cache; and most of our internal testing and benchmarking picks up the compiler binary from that build cache.</div>
<div class="">Having GlobalISel compiled in by default would help me in avoiding a bunch of infrastructure modifications before I'm able to benchmark GlobalISel vs traditional ISel on our internal benchmarks.</div>
<div class="">This is probably just a very minor point, unless other GlobalISel developers have access to an internal infrastructure with similar properties.</div>
