command-line-compatible with GNU linkers and Microsoft link.exe and is

significantly faster than the system default linkers.

Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release

=================================================

  include a header file provided by the library and then explicitly

  link the library with the linker ``-l`` option. On Windows, header

  files usually contain pragmas that list needed libraries. Compilers

  copies that information to object files, so that linkers can

  copy that information to object files, so that linkers can

  automatically link needed libraries. ``--dependent-library`` is

  added for implementing that Windows semantics on Unix.

* lld now supports replacing ``JAL`` with ``JALX`` instructions in case

  of MIPS ↔ microMIPS cross-mode jumps.

  of MIPS-microMIPS cross-mode jumps.

  (`r354311 <https://reviews.llvm.org/rL354311>`_)

* lld now creates LA25 thunks for MIPS R6 code.

* The experimental partitioning feature is added to allow a program to

  be split into multiple pieces.

  The feature allows you semi-automatically split a single program

  The feature allows you to semi-automatically split a single program

  into multiple ELF files called "partitions". Since all partitions

  share the same memory address space and don't use PLT/GOT, split

  programs run as fast as regular programs.

  sub-partition and load the PDF reader partition only when a user

  tries to open a PDF file.

* If "-" is given as an output filename, lld write the final result

* If "-" is given as an output filename, lld writes the final result

  to the standard output. Previously, it created a file "-" in the

  current directory.

  (`r351852 <https://reviews.llvm.org/rL351852>`_)

* Several speed and memory usage improvements.

* Range extension thunks are now created for ARM64, if needed.

* lld-link now supports resource object files created by GNU windres and

  MS cvtres, not only llvm-cvtres.

* Imports from custom module names are supported.

  (`r352828 <https://reviews.llvm.org/rL352828>`_)

* Symbols that are in llvm.used are no exported by default.

* Initial support for PIC and dynamic linking has landed.
