llvmScaling C++ Build Performance with LLVM ThinLTO
Stop letting the linker stall your CI. Learn how LLVM ThinLTO parallelizes the link step to reduce build times from 15 minutes to under 3 minutes for large C++ projects.
Scaling Link-Time Optimization with LLVM ThinLTO
ThinLTO balances compile‑time speed and runtime performance by generating compact summaries during compilation and performing global optimizations in parallel, reducing link time by up to 70% while still delivering most of the benefits of full LTO.
