@rnk The last sentence of IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ASSOCIATIVE's Description: The 
section association chain must eventually come to a COMDAT section that doesn't 
have IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ASSOCIATIVE set. The upper "lld-link: error: 
C:\Users\taopan\AppData\Local\Temp\helloworld-0f57a4.obj: associative comdat 
.text (sec 25) has invalid reference to section .text (sec 25)" is caused by 
the association chain (only has BB text section) doesn't have a COMDAT section 
that doesn't have IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ASSOCIATIVE set. I think the association 
chain should be per section chain, not per function chain, like:
   entry block text section (default one, not IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ASSOCIATIVE) 
-> data/debug/.. section if has (IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ASSOCIATIVE)
   BB section 1 (default one, not IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ASSOCIATIVE) -> 
data/debug/... section if has (IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ASSOCIATIVE)
   BB section 2 (default one, not IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ASSOCIATIVE) -> 
data/debug/... section if has (IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ASSOCIATIVE)
   ...
So I changed BB text section's select to IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_NODUPLICATES.

As for the upper "clang-cl: error: linker command failed with exit code 1169 
(use -v to see invocation)", I tried again with lld linker.
$ clang-cl.exe helloworld.c -Xclang -fbasic-block-sections=all -Xclang 
-funique-basic-block-section-names -fuse-ld=lld
lld-link: error: duplicate symbol: __local_stdio_printf_options
>>> defined at C:\Users\taopan\AppData\Local\Temp\helloworld-b851d7.obj
>>> defined at libcmt.lib(default_local_stdio_options.obj)

lld-link: error: duplicate symbol: __local_stdio_printf_options
>>> defined at C:\Users\taopan\AppData\Local\Temp\helloworld-b851d7.obj
>>> defined at libvcruntime.lib(undname.obj)
clang-cl: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see 
invocation)

Duplication is between helloworld obj and system 
libcmt.lib(default_local_stdio_options.obj), so I changed select of entry block 
text section to IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ANY.
How do you think of these two modifications?
