11. Link Time Optimization - LTOΒΆ
In the world of embedded systems, getting the maximum performance out of an application can be challenging, particularly when the available system memory is limited. A robust and effective C/C++ optimizing compiler can be an invaluable resource in helping achieve higher-level performance for embedded applications that must run within a limited memory space, especially if that compiler is able to perform inter-module optimizations on whole-programs.
The tiarmclang compiler tools, starting with version 2.1.0.LTS, enables inter-module optimization over a whole-program at link-time. This feature is commonly referred to as Link-Time Optimization or LTO.
