Mehdi Amini dbca62ee4e [ThinLTO] Add an API to trigger file-based API for returning objects to the linker
Summary:
The motivation is to support better the -object_path_lto option on
Darwin. The linker needs to write down the generate object files on
disk for later use by lldb or dsymutil (debug info are not present
in the final binary). We're moving this into libLTO so that we can
be smarter when a cache is enabled and hard-link when possible
instead of duplicating the files.

llvm/lib/Support/Unix README
===========================

This directory provides implementations of the lib/System classes that
are common to two or more variants of UNIX. For example, the directory
structure underneath this directory could look like this:

Unix           - only code that is truly generic to all UNIX platforms
  Posix        - code that is specific to Posix variants of UNIX
  SUS          - code that is specific to the Single Unix Specification
  SysV         - code that is specific to System V variants of UNIX

As a rule, only those directories actually needing to be created should be
created. Also, further subdirectories could be created to reflect versions of
the various standards. For example, under SUS there could be v1, v2, and v3
subdirectories to reflect the three major versions of SUS.
