procrast33on TPDE-LLVM: Faster LLVM -O0 Back-End

Apologies! I did do a text search, but in pdfs... I should have known better.

Your work is greatly appriciated. With unit tests everywhere, faster compiling is more important than ever.

procrast33on TPDE-LLVM: Faster LLVM -O0 Back-End

I am curious why the TPDE paper does not mention the Copy-And-Patch paper. That is a technique that uses LLVM to generate a library of patchable machine code snippets, and during actual compilation those snippets are simply pasted together. In fairness, it is just a proof of concept: they could compile WASM to x64 but not C or C++.

I have no relation to the authors.
