//
// This file declares the LTOCodeGenerator class.
//
//   LTO compilation consists of three phases: Pre-IPO, IPO and Post-IPO.
//
//   The Pre-IPO phase compiles source code into bitcode file. The resulting
// bitcode files, along with object files and libraries, will be fed to the
// linker to through the IPO and Post-IPO phases. By using obj-file extension,
// the resulting bitcode file disguises itself as an object file, and therefore
// obviates the need of writing a special set of the make-rules only for LTO
// compilation.
//
//   The IPO phase perform inter-procedural analyses and optimizations, and
// the Post-IPO consists two sub-phases: intra-procedural scalar optimizations
// (SOPT), and intra-procedural target-dependent code generator (CG).
//
//   As of this writing, we don't separate IPO and the Post-IPO SOPT. They
// are intermingled together, and are driven by a single pass manager (see
// PassManagerBuilder::populateLTOPassManager()).
//
//   The "LTOCodeGenerator" is the driver for the IPO and Post-IPO stages.
// The "CodeGenerator" here is bit confusing. Don't confuse the "CodeGenerator"
// with the machine specific code generator.
