[PATCH] D26146: [ThinLTO] Prevent exporting of locals used/defined in module level asm

[Mehdi AMINI via llvm-commits]

mehdi_amini added a comment.

The attribute((used)) goes beyond "what the compiler can see", it also prevents linker dead-strip.

The point for references from inline ASM only applies to static globals (chromium build). It does not apply to non-static I believe, and this is why are currently parsing the module inline ASM at LTO time and updating the llvm.compiler_used, because this is not something the FE is required to do.
