Please use an exhaustive switch. You can put llvm_unreachable in the other cases.

I would add a CGM.shouldOpportunisticallyEmitVTables() that can just check the optimization level, and then you can use that to avoid even collecting v-tables like this if you don't need to.

It's worth adding a header comment to this explaining that it runs after EmitDeferred() and therefore is not allowed to create new references to things that need to be emitted lazily.

Thanks for the comments :)

Should I implement this for RTTI fields? Or maybe leave a fixme comment that it could also work for some other fields in vtable, but is not currently used?

I think your precondition of isUsedFunctionPointerKind() is fine, you don't need to handle RTTI in this function.

This does raise the interesting question, though, of whether this approach is safe for lazily-emitted RTTI. I guess it currently works because IRGen doesn't use the normal deferred-emission mechanism for RTTI objects, so if the RTTI object is lazily-emitted, we'll just eagerly emit it instead of potentially ending up with an illegal reference to external RTTI. You should add a comment to the appropriate place in CGRTTI (i.e. where we fill in the global definition) saying that this optimization may need adjustment if we ever switch to using deferred emission for some reason.

By "exhaustive" I mean that you should list out all the cases instead of using default. It means that someone who adds a new kind of v-table entry will get alerted to fix this switch. There's only five other cases, it's not too bad.

Oh right, that make sense

I couldn't find CGRTTI, so I added comment in Itanium and Microsoft ABI where we create RTTI fields, but maybe the CodeGenModule::GetAddrOfRTTIDescriptor would be a better place instead?

I also added small note to the EmitVTablesOpportunistically about this.

Perhaps this:

assert(OpportunisticVTables.empty() || shouldOpportunisticallyEmitVTables() && ... )

(it's a bit odd to have a condition that only goes to an assert - rather than having both conditions inside the assertion)
