Linkers normally read all the relocations upfront to compute the references between sections. Putting them together is a bit more cache friendly. I benchmarked linking a Release+Asserts clang with gold on a vm. I tried all 4 combinations of --gc-sections/no --gc-section hot and cold cache. I cleared the cache with echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches and warmed it up by running the link once before timing the subsequent ones. With cold cache and --gc-sections the time goes from 1.86130781665 +- 0.01713126697463843 seconds to 1.82370735105 +- 0.014127522318814516 seconds With cold cache and no --gc-sections the time goes from 1.6087245435500002 +- 0.012999066825178644 seconds to 1.5687122041500001 +- 0.013145850126026619 seconds With hot cache and no --gc-sections the time goes from 0.926200939 ( +- 0.33% ) seconds to 0.907200079 ( +- 0.31% ) seconds With hot cache and gc sections the time goes from 1.183038049 ( +- 0.34% ) seconds to 1.147355862 ( +- 0.39% ) seconds git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@235165 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
