Upstream change llvm/llvm-project@6b539f5eb8 changed `isSectionBitcode` works and it now only respects `.llvm.lto` sections instead of also `.llvmbc`, which it says was never intended to be used for LTO. We instead load sections by name, and sniff for raw bitcode by hand. r? @nikic @rustbot label: +llvm-main
The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR,
and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code
that runs towards the end of the compilation process.
For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
