[llvm-dev] lld: ELF/COFF main() interface

[Rafael Espíndola via llvm-dev]

> Also, one of the other possible motivations of using LLD directly from
Clang would be to avoid process overhead on operating systems where that is
a much more significant part of the compile time cost. We could today
actually take the fork out of the Clang driver because the Clang frontend
*is* designed in this way. But we would also need LLD to work in this way.

Then go change clang and send a patch for lld once you are done. It will be
interested to see if you can measure a single fork in an entire build.

Even better, please finish the new pass manager before working on clang
forking cc1.

In any case, I have simply wasted too much time on a thread with someone
with no patches on the new elf linker. It is really annoying that you don't
put effort into it and seem entitled to dictate its direction.

If you want to kick us out of the llvm project, please start a thread on
llvm-dev.

If you want lld to be a library, figure out how to do it without
sacrificing lld's productivity,  error reporting and performance (no
error_code spaghetti) and write a patch. Just don't expect it to be
reviewed while we have actual missing features.

I will go back to implementing the linker.
