A high level question - for the distributed backend case, is the idea that clang would invoke LTOBackend:: runThinLtoBackendThread directly, instead of setting up a pass pipeline itself? Were you able to get this patch to work with the clang side distributed backend path?


That was not my understanding, I'd expect *only* the linker to interact with this API.

I'd expect an implementation of ThinLTO distributed backend here to produce and serialize the information needed by the individual clang job (since the linker is not expected to produce a binary at this point, right?).
