-/// This class provides the core functionality of linking in LLVM. It retains a
-/// Module object which is the composite of the modules and libraries linked
-/// into it. The composite Module can be retrieved via the getModule() method.
-/// In this case the Linker still retains ownership of the Module. If the
-/// releaseModule() method is used, the ownership of the Module is transferred
-/// to the caller and the Linker object is only suitable for destruction.
-/// The Linker can link Modules from memory. By default, the linker
-/// will generate error and warning messages to stderr but this capability can
-/// be turned off with the QuietWarnings and QuietErrors flags. It can also be
-/// instructed to verbosely print out the linking actions it is taking with
-/// the Verbose flag.
-/// @brief The LLVM Linker.
+/// This class provides the core functionality of linking in LLVM. It keeps a

+/// module since it is assumed that the user of this class will want to do
+/// something with it after the linking.
