Feb 02, 2016 one can imagine adding classes to the blacklist that are somehow incompatible with cfi checks, but in general id expect that list to be pretty small chromiums list 1 currently has 18 entries, most of which are non whole program issues so it probably isnt a huge loss for devirtualization, and we can always try to find some way to improve. See getting started with the llvm system for more information. The index can be used to propagate information across a whole program, import and internalize functions, and apply whole program optimizations without having to store all the bitcode in memory. The translation is essentially from nonllvm form to llvm form.
