/// This macro is the public interface that IncludeFile.h exports. This gives
/// us the option to implement the "link the definition" capability in any
/// manner that we choose. All header files that depend on a specific .cpp
/// file being linked at run time should use this macro instead of the
/// IncludeFile class directly.
///
/// For example, foo.h would use:<br/>
/// <tt>FORCE_DEFINING_FILE_TO_BE_LINKED(foo)</tt><br/>
///
/// And, foo.cp would use:<br/>
/// <tt>DEFINING_FILE_FOR(foo)</tt><br/>

// If the `used' attribute is available, use it to create a variable
// with an initializer that will force the linking of the defining file.

/// This macro is the counterpart to FORCE_DEFINING_FILE_TO_BE_LINKED. It should

/// This class is used in the implementation of FORCE_DEFINING_FILE_TO_BE_LINKED
/// macro to make sure that the implementation of a header file is included
/// into a tool that uses the header. This is solely
/// to overcome problems linking .a files and not getting the implementation
/// of compilation units we need. This is commonly an issue with the various
/// Passes but also occurs elsewhere in LLVM. We like to use .a files because
/// they link faster and provide the smallest executables. However, sometimes
/// those executables are too small, if the program doesn't reference something
/// that might be needed, especially by a loaded share object. This little class
/// helps to resolve that problem. The basic strategy is to use this class in
/// a header file and pass the address of a variable to the constructor. If the
/// variable is defined in the header file's corresponding .cpp file then all
/// tools/libraries that \#include the header file will require the .cpp as
/// well.
/// For example:<br/>
/// <tt>extern int LinkMyCodeStub;</tt><br/>
/// <tt>static IncludeFile LinkMyModule(&LinkMyCodeStub);</tt><br/>
/// @brief Class to ensure linking of corresponding object file.
