Thanks for working on this. Comments inline.

I know this struct is callable but IsExported feels like a weird name for stuck. Maybe something like ExportedSymbolChecker?

Same for IsPrevailing.

Should we add indexed-based WPD into optimized as well? So we can add a unit test using optimize, rather than run. You can add a flag to llvm-lto to determine if WPD is enabled.

Should we add indexed-based WPD into optimized as well?

The problem is where we would get summary with WPD resolutions in such case. The only place where combined index is saved is linkCombinedIndex but
it lacks information about exported symbols and it's not possible to devirtualize without it.

Extending linkCombinedIndex, so that --exported-symbol can be used in conjunction with --thinlto-action=thinlink can probably fix the issue.
The next step after that is probably to strip --exported-symbol flag from import and promote actions as combined index would be finalized after thin link is over.

Sounds like a good plan going forward.
