The -opt-bisect-limit option may also be applied to link-time optimizations by
using a prefix to indicate that this is a plug-in option for the linker. The
using a prefix to indicate that this is a plug-in option for the linker. The
following syntax will set a bisect limit for LTO transformations:
::
# When using Gold or lld
clang -flto -Wl,-plugin-opt,-opt-bisect-limit=256 my_file.o my_other_file.o
# When using ld64 (macOS)
clang -flto -Wl,-mllvm,-opt-bisect-limit=256 my_file.o my_other_file.o
LTO passes are run by a library instance invoked by the linker. Therefore any
passes run in the primary driver compilation phase are not affected by options
