Long version is: "There is no use-case, no users, so I don't have much motivation to push it forward for the only sake of completeness".

Not being able to honor -O0 during LTO is not user-friendly. > I don't think `-c -O0` should get this not-entirely-O0-like behavior. What is "not-entirely"? And why do you think that? https://reviews.llvm.org/D28404 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
