[LLVM Dev] [Discussion] Function-based parallel LLVM backend code generation

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives
#1

Hi, community:

For the sake of our business need, I want to enable “Function-based parallel code generation” to boost up the compilation of single module, please see the details of the design and provide your feedbacks on below aspects, thanks

  1. Is this idea the proper solution for my requirement

  2. This new feature will be enabled by llc –thd=N and has no impact on original llc when –thd=1

  3. Can this new feature of llc be accepted by community and merged into LLVM code tree
