[llvm-dev] PSA: the future of compiler-rt’s Scudo

[Chandler Carruth via llvm-dev]

I don't think this is the thread to re-litigate this. We have plenty of
examples in both directions, and we should instead focus on evaluating how
well technical approaches to minimize the cost on standalone runtime
libraries like this are effective with the prototype monorepo and whether
that is adequate.
