From fca88631650af3e862f7df012f34d9c724a9ed7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rafael Espindola Date: Sat, 4 May 2013 03:06:50 +0000 Subject: Last batch of cleanups to Linker.h. Update comments, fix * placement, fix method names that are not used in clang, add a linkInModule that takes a Mode and put it in Linker.cpp. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@181099 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8 --- include/llvm/Linker.h | 96 ++++++++++----------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 78 deletions(-) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/llvm/Linker.h b/include/llvm/Linker.h index b199a34cbf..deaaca4155 100644 --- a/include/llvm/Linker.h +++ b/include/llvm/Linker.h @@ -15,98 +15,38 @@ namespace llvm { class Module; -class LLVMContext; class StringRef; -/// This class provides the core functionality of linking in LLVM.
