This enables [thin +LTO](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThinLTO.html) on all compilers where +it is supported. At the time of writing this means only Clang. + +This change is potentially backwards incompatible. If you have +examined the value of `b_lto` in your build file, note that its type +has changed from a boolean to a string. Thus comparisons like this: + +```meson +if get_option('b_lto') +... +endif +``` + +need to be changed to something like this instead: + +```meson +if get_option('b_lto') == 'true' +... +endif +``` + +This should not affect any comman line invocations as configuring LTO +with `-Db_lto=true` still works and behaves the same way as before. |
