Deprecate split objects

    • Closed Issue created by Ben Gamari @bgamari

    For several reasons (see below) we now generally recommend users use split sections instead of split objects.

    Reasons:

    • SplitSections is quite a bit simpler
    • SplitSections may produce smaller binaries
    • SplitSections requires fewer assembler invocations, potentially improving compilation time (see #11285 (closed), #15051 (closed))
    • SplitSections is the approach used by most C compilers, meaning we may avoid edge cases that SplitObjects may turn up
