LLVM gained an interesting new optimization pass to split functions in hot/cold regions based on PGO profile data:

Very interesting. Will LDC gain this optimization pass simply by upgrading the LLVM version, or will it be necessary to update LDC's PGO as well?

Upgrading LLVM, and enabling it with a cmdline flag (not enabled by default at the moment). It seems to use the already existing PGO profile data.
