Reland "win: Link with lld instead of MSVC's link.exe by default"
This is a reland of be8138a4 The issues with the previous attempt were addressed in the latest Clang roll (#553415). Original change's description: > win: Link with lld instead of MSVC's link.exe by default > > lld is LLVM's linker. It produces PE/COFF and PDB files just like > link.exe, but it's significantly faster and it can also handle LLVM's > internal representation, which will enable us to do link-time > optimization and control-flow integraty checks with Clang. > > While lld is much faster at linking, it doesn't support incremental > links, meaning builds that only touch a few files and re-link a large > executable may become slower. > > This is the first attempt at switching everything over, with the > purpose of gathering data and finding unknown unknowns. It's likely > temporary until something breaks. > > is_win_fastlink is implicitly ignored when using lld, as lld without > fastlink is faster than link.exe with it. > > Also switch the CrWinClangLLD bots on chromium.clang to use MSVC's > link.exe to make sure that configuration keeps working. > > Bug: 792131 > Change-Id: I0f115a78c33d69eadbd480f75c2a5d636e86483d > Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/983632 > Commit-Queue: Nico Weber <thakis@chromium.org> > Reviewed-by: Nico Weber <thakis@chromium.org> > Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/master@{#551367} Bug: 792131 Change-Id: I3b76cd015ef18bb3e2ac7a3efa4352c4f04e560b Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/1028374Reviewed-by:Nico Weber <thakis@chromium.org> Commit-Queue: Hans Wennborg <hans@chromium.org> Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/master@{#553776}
