// LTO (link-time optimization) allows the compiler to optimize and generate
// code for the entire module at link time, rather than per-compilation
// unit. LTO is required for Clang CFI and other whole-program optimization
// techniques. LTO also allows cross-compilation unit optimizations that should
// result in faster and smaller code, at the expense of additional compilation
// time.
//
// To properly build a module with LTO, the module and all recursive static
// dependencies should be compiled with -flto which directs the compiler to emit
// bitcode rather than native object files. These bitcode files are then passed
// by the linker to the LLVM plugin for compilation at link time. Static
// dependencies not built as bitcode will still function correctly but cannot be
// optimized at link time and may not be compatible with features that require
// LTO, such as CFI.
//
// This file adds support to soong to automatically propogate LTO options to a
// new variant of all static dependencies for each module with LTO enabled.
