Disable LLVM verification by default
Currently -Z no-verify only controls IR verification prior to LLVM codegen, while verification is performed unconditionally both before and after linking with (Thin)LTO.
Also wondering what the sentiment is on disabling verification by default (and e.g. only enabling it on ALT builds with assertions). This does not seem terribly useful outside of rustc development and it does seem to show up in profiles (at something like 3%).
**EDIT:** A table showing the various configurations and what is enabled when.
| Configuration | Dynamic verification performed | LLVM static assertions compiled in |
| --- | --- | --- |
| alt builds | | yes |
| nightly builds | | no |
| stable builds | | no |
| CI builds | | |
| dev builds in a checkout | | |
Currently -Z no-verify only controls IR verification prior to
LLVM codegen, while verification is performed unconditionally
both before and after linking with (Thin)LTO.
Codegen issues commonly only manifest under specific circumstances,
e.g. if multiple codegen units are used and ThinLTO is enabled.
However, these configuration are threaded, making the use of LLVM
debugging facilities hard, as output is interleaved.
This patch adds a -Z no-parallel-llvm flag, which allows disabling
parallelization of codegen and linking, while otherwise preserving
behavior with regard to codegen units and LTO.
