20 // Shim layer symbols need to be ALWAYS exported, regardless of component build.
21 //
22 // If an exported symbol is linked into a DSO, it may be preempted by a
23 // definition in the main executable. If this happens to an allocator symbol, it
24 // will mean that the DSO will use the main executable's allocator. This is
25 // normally relatively harmless -- regular allocations should all use the same
26 // allocator, but if the DSO tries to hook the allocator it will not see any
27 // allocations.
28 //
29 // However, if LLVM LTO is enabled, the compiler may inline the shim layer
30 // symbols into callers. The end result is that allocator calls in DSOs may use
31 // either the main executable's allocator or the DSO's allocator, depending on
32 // whether the call was inlined. This is arguably a bug in LLVM caused by its
33 // somewhat irregular handling of symbol interposition (see llvm.org/PR23501).
34 // To work around the bug we use noinline to prevent the symbols from being
35 // inlined.
36 //
37 // In the long run we probably want to avoid linking the allocator bits into
38 // DSOs altogether. This will save a little space and stop giving DSOs the false
39 // impression that they can hook the allocator.
