Owning the buffer is somewhat inflexible. Some Binaries have sub Binaries
(like Archive) and we had to create dummy buffers just to handle that. It is
also a bad fit for IRObjectFile where the Module wants to own the buffer too.
Keeping this ownership would make supporting IR inside native objects
particularly painful.
This patch focuses in lib/Object. If something elsewhere used to own an Binary,
now it also owns a MemoryBuffer.
This patch introduces a few new types.
* MemoryBufferRef. This is just a pair of StringRefs for the data and name.
This is to MemoryBuffer as StringRef is to std::string.
* OwningBinary. A combination of Binary and a MemoryBuffer. This is needed
for convenience functions that take a filename and return both the
buffer and the Binary using that buffer.
The C api now uses OwningBinary to avoid any change in semantics. I will start
a new thread to see if we want to change it and how.

This makes the buffer ownership on error conditions very natural. The buffer
is only moved out of the argument if an object is constructed that now
owns the buffer.
llvm-svn: 211546
This allows us to just use a std::unique_ptr to store the pointer to the buffer.
The flip side is that they have to support releasing the buffer back to the
caller.
Overall this looks like a more efficient and less brittle api.

This makes llvm-nm ignore members that are not sufficiently aligned for
lib/Object to handle.
These archives are invalid. GNU AR is able to handle this, but in general
just warns about broken archive members.
We should probably start warning too, but for now just make sure llvm-nm
exits with an 0.

This compiles with no changes to clang/lld/lldb with MSVC and includes
overloads to various functions which are used by those projects and llvm
which have OwningPtr's as parameters. This should allow out of tree
projects some time to move. There are also no changes to libs/Target,
which should help out of tree targets have time to move, if necessary.

The constructors of classes deriving from Binary normally take an error_code
as an argument to the constructor. My original intent was to change them
to have a trivial constructor and move the initial parsing logic to a static
method returning an ErrorOr. I changed my mind because:
* A constructor with an error_code out parameter is extremely convenient from
the implementation side. We can incrementally construct the object and give
up when we find an error.
* It is very efficient when constructing on the stack or when there is no
error. The only inefficient case is where heap allocating and an error is
found (we have to free the memory).
The result is that this is a much smaller patch. It just standardizes the
create* helpers to return an ErrorOr.
Almost no functionality change: The only difference is that this found that
we were trying to read past the end of COFF import library but ignoring the
error.

* ELFTypes.h contains template magic for defining types based on endianess, size, and alignment.
* ELFFile.h defines the ELFFile class which provides low level ELF specific access.
* ELFObjectFile.h contains ELFObjectFile which uses ELFFile to implement the ObjectFile interface.
llvm-svn: 188022
This simplifies the usage and implementation of ELFObjectFile by using ELFType
to replace:
<endianness target_endianness, std::size_t max_alignment, bool is64Bits>
This does complicate the base ELF types as they must now use template template
parameters to partially specialize for the 32 and 64bit cases. However these
are only defined once.

the MCJIT execution engine.
The GDB JIT debugging integration support works by registering a loaded
object image with a pre-defined function that GDB will monitor if GDB
is attached. GDB integration support is implemented for ELF only at this
time. This integration requires GDB version 7.0 or newer.

to what's done for MachO and COFF. This allows advanced uses of the class to
be implemented outside the Object library. In particular, the DyldELFObject
subclass is now moved into its logical home - ExecutionEngine/RuntimeDyld.

Don't form an out of bounds pointer just to test if it
would be out of bounds.
Also perform the same bounds checking for all the previous
mapped structures.

in a subclass named DyldELFObject. This class supports rebasing the object file
it represents by re-mapping section addresses to the actual memory addresses
the object was placed in. This is required for MC-JIT implementation on ELF with
debugging support.
Patch reviewed on llvm-commits.
Developed together with Ashok Thirumurthi and Andrew Kaylor.

Some of these can be true at the same time and there are a lot to add,
so this should be turned into a bitfield. Some of the other accessors
should probably be folded into this.

- Add enum SymbolType and function getSymbolType()
- Add function isGlobal() - it's returns true for symbols that can be used in another objects, such as library functions.
- Rename function getAddress() to getOffset() and add new function getAddress(), because currently getAddress() returns section offset of symbol first byte. new getAddress() return symbol address.
- Change usage SymbolRef::getAddress() to getOffset() in tools/llvm-nm and tools/llvm-objdump.
