See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7ykb2k5f for the +general description. + +**llvm-lib** has the following extensions: + +* Bitcode files in symbol tables. + **llvm-lib** includes symbols from both bitcode files and regular + object files in the symbol table. + +* Creating thin archives. + The /llvmlibthin option causes **llvm-lib** to create thin archive + that contain only the symbol table and the header for the various + members. These files are much smaller, but are not compatible with + link.exe (lld can handle them).
