[clang][driver] Treat unkonwn -flto= values as -flto
ClosedPublic

Summary

The current behavior was introduced in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/1628486548420f85b3467026d54663d1516404f5 and simply ignores the options, which will of course not turn on any form of LTO. When they are passed, I think it's sensible to at least turn on full LTO.

This makes clang basically accept all -flto=val values and treat them like -flto=full. I didn't implement anything that checks for only =auto or =jobserver, I'm not sure if that would be the right thing to do.

Thoughts?

On second thought, rather only handle =auto and =jobserver and don't warn.

I don't think current implementation is the best idea. I think is better to make the gcc compatible LTO value to be a clang Driver only option, give them an option name, and handle them separately in driver to invoke correct fullLTO cc1 command, so that:

  • The value remain invalid option for cc1 (CompilerInvocation should just error on that, just like now).
  • The ignored value should not appear in the help or autocompletion.

Thanks for the feedback, I think this should work better.

Use hasFlag() instead of hasArg() in Driver.cpp
