Order code sections with names in the form of ".text.cold.i" based on the value of i [Context] SplitFunctions.cpp implements splitting strategies that can potentially split each function into maximum N>2 fragments. When such N-way splitting happens, new code sections with names ".text.cold.1", ..., ".text.cold.i", ... "text.cold.N-2" will be created A section with name ".text.cold.i" contains the the (i+2)th fragment of each function. As an example, if each function is splitted into N=3 fragments: hot, warm, cold, then code sections will now include - a section with name ".text" containing hot fragments - a section with name ".text.cold" containing warm fragments - a section with name ".text.cold.1" containing cold fragments The order of these new sections in the output binary currently depends on the order in which they are encountered by the emitter. For example, under N=3-way splitting, if the first function is 2-way splitted into hot and cold and the second function is 3-way splitted into hot, warm, and cold then the cold fragment is encountered first, resulting in the final section to be in the following order .text (hot), .text.cold.1 (cold), .text.cold (warm) The above is suboptimal because the distance of jumps/calls between the hot and the warm sections will be much bigger than when ordering the sections as follows .text (hot), .text.cold (warm), .text.cold.1 (cold) This diff orders the sections with names in the form of ".text.cold" or ".text.cold.i" based on the value of i (assuming the i-value of ".text.cold" is 0).

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
