Note, this is https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27187.
The problem here was that just converting an error to a bool doesn't
always set the checked bit. We only set that bit if the Error didn't
actually contain an error. Otherwise we'd end potentially up silently
dropping it.
Instead just use the consumeError method which is designed to allow us
to drop an error.

Now that DarwinLdDriver is the only derived class of Driver.
This patch merges them and actually removed the class because
they can now just be non-member functions. This change simplifies
a common header, Driver.h.

llvm-svn: 262502
Because the class is used only by one instance, we do not have to
use template there in DriverTest.h. Everything can be moved to
DarwinLdDriverTest.cpp.

UniversalDriver was used as a dispatcher to each platform-specific driver.
It had its own Options.td file. It was not just too much to parse only a
few options (we only want to parse -core, -flavor or argv[0]),
but also interpreted arguments too early. For example, if you invoke lld as
"lld -flavor gnu ... -help", then you'd get the UniversalDriver's help
message instead of GnuDriver's. This patch eliminates the use of Options
from the dispatcher.

IIUC, range was an experiment to see how N3350 would work in LLD.
It turned out it didn't get traction, and it is basically duplicate
of iterator_range in ADT. We have only two occurrences of range,
and all of them are easily rewritten without it.

This option matches the behaviour of ld64, that is it prevents globals
from being dead stripped in executables and dylibs.

After r255819, parse() actually parses what you pass it.
This test was failing because it passed '--debug-only' which isn't in
release builds, but also 'foo' which isn't an option at all.
We now pass -enable-tbaa and -enable-misched which are real options.

Now it is possible to have mips-linux-gnu-ld executable and link MIPS 64-bit
little-endian binaries providing -melf64ltsmip command line argument.

This is a direct port of the new PE/COFF linker to ELF.
It can take a single object file and generate a valid executable that executes at the first byte in the text section.
llvm-svn: 242088
This is an initial patch for a section-based COFF linker.
The patch has 2300 lines of code including comments and blank lines.
Before diving into details, you want to start from reading README
because it should give you an overview of the design.
All important things are written in the README file, so I write
summary here.
- The linker is already able to self-link on Windows.
- It's significantly faster than the existing implementation.
The existing one takes 5 seconds to link LLD on my machine,
while the new one only takes 1.2 seconds, even though the new
one is not multi-threaded yet. (And a proof-of-concept multi-
threaded version was able to link it in 0.5 seconds.)
- It uses much less memory (250MB vs. 2GB virtual memory space
to self-host).
- IMHO the new code is much simpler and easier to read than
the existing PE/COFF port.

This patch defines implicit conversion between integers and PowerOf2
instances, so uses of the classes is now implicit and look like
regular integers. Now we are ready to remove the scaffolding.
llvm-svn: 233245
The new constructor's type is the same, but this one takes not a log2
value but an alignment value itself, so the meaning is totally differnet.
llvm-svn: 233244
This patch is to make instantiation and conversion to an integer explicit,
so that we can mechanically replace all occurrences of the class with
integer in the next step.
Now get() returns an alignment value rather than its log2 value.

This commit implements the behaviour of the SECTIONS linker script directive,
used to not only define a custom mapping between input and output sections, but
also order input sections in the output file. To do this, we modify
DefaultLayout with hooks at important places that allow us to re-order input
sections according to a custom order. We also add a hook in SegmentChunk to
allow us to calculate linker script expressions while assigning virtual
addresses to the input sections that live in a segment.
Not all SECTIONS constructs are currently supported, but only the ones that do
not use special sort orders. It adds two LIT test as practical examples of
which sections directives are currently supported.
In terms of high-level changes, it creates a new class "script::Sema" that owns
all linker script ASTs and the logic for linker script semantics as well.
ELFLinkingContext owns a single copy of Sema, which will be used throughout
the object file writing process (to layout sections as proposed by the linker
script).
Other high-level change is that the writer no longer uses a "const" copy of
the linking context. This happens because linker script expressions must be
calculated *while* calculating final virtual addresses, which is a very late
step in object file writing. While calculating these expressions, we need to
update the linker script symbol table (inside the semantics object), and, thus,
we are "modifying our context" as we prepare to write the file.

The expression evaluation is needed when interpreting linker scripts, in order
to calculate the value for new symbols or to determine a new position to load
sections in memory. This commit extends Expression nodes from the linker script
AST with evaluation functions, and also contains a unit test.

Previously we have a string -> string map to keep the weak alias
symbol mapping. Naturally we can't define more than one weak alias
with that data structure.
This patch is to allow multiple aliases for the same symbol by
changing the map type to string -> set of string map.

The round-trip passes were introduced in r193300. The intention of
the change was to make sure that LLD is capable of reading end
writing such file formats.
But that turned out to be yet another over-designed stuff that had
been slowing down everyday development.
The passes ran after the core linker and before the writer. If you
had an additional piece of information that needs to be passed from
front-end to the writer, you had to invent a way to save the data to
YAML/Native. These passes forced us to do that even if that data
was not needed to be represented neither in an object file nor in
an executable/DSO. It doesn't make sense. We don't need these passes.
