If ``-fthinlto-distributor=`` is specified, Clang supplies the path to a
268267
compiler to be executed remotely to perform the ThinLTO backend
269268
compilations. Currently, this is Clang itself.

Usage
271+
^^^^^
272+
273+
Compilation is unchanged from ThinLTO. DTLTO options need to supplied for the link step:
274+
275+
.. code-block:: console
276+
277+
% clang -flto=thin -fthinlto-distributor=distribute.sh -Xthinlto-distributor=--verbose,--j10 -fuse-ld=lld file1.o file2.o
278+
% clang -flto=thin -fthinlto-distributor=$(which python) -Xthinlto-distributor=distribute.py -fuse-ld=lld file1.o file2.o
279+
280+
When using lld-link:
281+
282+
.. code-block:: console
283+
284+
% lld-link /out:a.exe file1.obj file2.obj /thinlto-distributor:distribute.exe /thinlto-remote-compiler:${LLVM}\bin\clang.exe /thinlto-distributor-arg:--verbose
285+

Note that currently, DTLTO is only supported in some LLD flavors. Support can
272287
be added to other LLD flavours in the future.
