Hi, Thanks a lot for giving me this wonderful opportunity to work with GCC under your guidance and mentorship (GSOC 2018).
Just a few starting queries 1. As a starting point to read lto-object file, is it sufficient to only link with lto-object.c or shall I need other source files too ? 2. Should the dump tool be under gcc or lto dir? Would I need to modify only gcc/Makefile.in to add entry for building the dump tool or any other Makefiles too ? Also, I would proceed with copyright assignment as soon as I will receive the mentioned forms.
