LowerTypeTests moves some function definitions from individual object
files to the merged module, leaving a stub to be called in the merged
module's jump table. If an alias was pointing to such a function
definition LowerTypeTests would fail because the alias would be left
without a definition to point to.
This change 1) emits information about aliases to the ThinLTO summary,
- replaces aliases pointing to function definitions that are moved to
the merged module with function declarations, and 3) re-emits those
aliases in the merged module pointing to the correct function
definitions.
The patch does not correctly fix all possible mis-uses of aliases in
LowerTypeTests. For example, it does not handle aliases with a different
type from the pointed to function.
The addition of alias data increases the size of Chrome build artifacts
by less than 1%.
