Why don't you take all the members here?
It seems strange to see the initialization and then File->Mod = ...

Can you turn SymTab and File to be reference?

Non relevant for this patch, but it'd be nice to document getName vs getIRName, I always forget when I look at this.

Looks like something to add to ModuleSymbolTable.
(I don't mean it as a blocker for this patch)

We need to create the module using the LLVMContext owned by this class.

I suppose that given that we need to do that we might as well be consistent with the other members and let MBRef be default initialized as well.

Done for SymTab. File may be null (see addRegularLTO) so I've left it as a pointer.

171

It looks like getIRName is only used by the implementation, so I've removed it in r288302 and added documentation for getName.

Maybe not, given our discussion on D27073.

OK, I missed this! But indeed I feel it is less confusing now.

171

It seems you need to rebase this patch?

It seems there is not much that still requires us to keep Mod here, what is fundamentally the remaining issue?

The major ones are:

  • We need something to own the module
  • We need to be able to query the source file name
  • We need it to be able to extract used bits in add*LTO

Essentially we need it to access information that will later be stored in the bitcode symbol table. But until that's ready there's no harm in accessing the module directly.

Owning the module is only useful for the two other parts right? Technically we could store the source file name directly and extract the "used" early.
The latter seems overkill to do now considering we're moving to a bitcode symbol table.

An owner is also needed for the GlobalValues stored in ModuleSymbolTable.

But that's just another example of something that can be refactored with the bitcode symbol table.
