lld |release| Release Notes
===========================
.. contents::
:local:
.. only:: PreRelease
.. warning::
These are in-progress notes for the upcoming LLVM |release| release.
Release notes for previous releases can be found on
`the Download Page <https://releases.llvm.org/download.html>`_.
Introduction
============
This document contains the release notes for the lld linker, release |release|.
Here we describe the status of lld, including major improvements
from the previous release. All lld releases may be downloaded
from the `LLVM releases web site <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.
Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
=================================================
ELF Improvements
----------------
* ``--fat-lto-objects`` option is added to support LLVM FatLTO.
Without ``--fat-lto-objects``, LLD will link LLVM FatLTO objects using the
relocatable object file. (`D146778 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D146778>`_)
* common-page-size can now be larger than the system page-size.
(`#57618 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/57618>`_)
Breaking changes
----------------
COFF Improvements
-----------------
* Added support for ``--time-trace`` and associated ``--time-trace-granularity``.
This generates a .json profile trace of the linker execution.
MinGW Improvements
------------------
MachO Improvements
------------------
WebAssembly Improvements
------------------------
* Indexes are no longer required on archive files. Instead symbol information
is read from object files within the archive. This matches the behaviour of
the ELF linker.
