In MinGW configurations (GCC, or clang with a *-windows-gnu target),
the -export directives in the object file contains the undecorated
symbol name, while it is decorated in MSVC configurations. (On the
command line, link.exe takes an undecorated symbol name for the
-export argument though.)

These are emitted for comm symbols in object files, when targeting
a GNU environment.
Alternatively, just ignore them since we already align CommonChunk
to the natural size of the content (up to 32 bytes). That would only
trade away the possibility to overalign small symbols, which doesn't
sound like something that might not need to be handled?

Improve the link conformance for the import name embedded into the
import library. This requires the associated change to the LLVM portion
for the DEF file parser. The import file generation embeds a different
name based on whether the driver is invoked as "link" or "lib".
Furthermore, the LIBRARY keyword in the DEF file influences the import
name. The behaviour can be summarised according to the following table:
| LIBRARY w/ ext | LIBRARY w/o ext | no LIBRARY
-----+----------------+---------------------+------------------
LINK | {value} | {value}.{.dll/.exe} | {output name}
LIB | {value} | {value}.dll | {output name}.dll

When /DEBUG is not specified, /PDB should be ignored. When
/DEBUG is specified, a PDB should be output regardless of
whether or not /PDB is specified. /PDB just overrides the
default name.
This patch implements this behavior, and adds some tests, while
also removing a dead option /DEBUGPDB which was unused in any
code.

Summary:
lld-link allows the number of parallel ThinLTO jobs to be specified
using /opt:lldltojobs=N. If left unspecified, the implementation
conservatively defaults to 1. This leads to very long link times. This
change makes it so that the default is to automatically set the
parallelism, as we do in the ELF linker.

Previously, we discarded .debug$ sections. This patch adds them to
files so that PDB.cpp can access them.
This patch also adds a debug option, /dumppdb, to dump debug info
fed to createPDB so that we can verify that valid data has been passed.

The IMAGE_FILE_HEADER structure contains a (RVA, size) to an array of
COFF_DEBUG_DIRECTORY records. Each one of these records contains an RVA to a OMF
Debug Directory. These OMF debug directories are derived into newer types such
as PDB70, PDB20, etc. This constructs a PDB70 structure which will allow us to
associate a GUID with a build to actually tie debug information.
llvm-svn: 280012
Add the support infrastructure for the /debugtype option which takes a comma
delimited list of debug info to generate. The defaults are based on other
options potentially (/driver or /profile). This sets up the infrastructure to
allow us to emit RSDS records to get "build id" equivalents on COFF (similar to
binutils).

Manifest file is a separate or embedded XML file having metadata
of an executable. As it is XML, it can contain various types of
information. Probably the most popular one is to request escalated
priviledges.
Usually the linker creates an XML file and embed that file into
an executable. However, there's a way to supply an XML file from
command line. /manifestniput is it.
Apparently it is over-designed here, but if you supply two or more
manifest files, then the linker needs to merge the files into a
single XML file. A good news is that we don't need to do that ourselves.
MT.exe command can do that, so we call the command from the linker
in this patch.

DLL export tables usually contain dllexport'ed symbol RVAs so that
applications which use the DLLs can find symbols from the DLLs.
However, there's a minor feature to "forward" DLL symbols to other
DLLs.
If you set an RVA to a string whose form is "<dllname>.<symbolname>"
(e.g. "KERNEL32.ExitProcess") instead of symbol RVA to the export
table, the loader interprets that as a forwarder symbol, and resolve
that symbol from the specified DLL.
This patch implements that feature.

This is an LLD extension to MSVC link.exe command line. MSVC linker
does not write symbol tables for executables. We do unless no /debug
option is given.
There's a situation that we want to enable debug info but don't want
to emit the symbol table. One example is when we are comparing output
file size. With this patch, you can tell the linker to not create
a symbol table by just specifying /nosymtab.

This patch fixes a subtle incompatibility with MSVC linker.
MSVC linker preserves the original spelling of a DLL in the
import descriptor table. LLD previously converted all
characters to lowercase. Usually this difference is benign,
but if a program explicitly checks for DLL file names, the
program could fail.
llvm-svn: 246620
The rules for dllexported symbols are overly complicated due to
x86 name decoration, fuzzy symbol resolution, and the fact that
one symbol can be resolved by so many different names. The rules
are probably intended to be "intuitive", so that users don't have
to understand the name mangling schemes, but it seems that it can
lead to unintended symbol exports.
To make it clear what I'm trying to do with this patch, let me
write how the export rules are subtle and complicated.
- x86 name decoration: If machine type is i386 and export name
is given by a command line option, like /export:foo, the
real symbol name the linker has to search for is _foo because
all symbols are decorated with "_" prefixes. This doesn't happen
on non-x86 machines. This automatic name decoration happens only
when the name is not C++ mangled.
However, the symbol name exported from DLLs are ones without "_"
on all platforms.
Moreover, if the option is given via .drectve section, no
symbol decoration is done (the reason being that the .drectve
section is created by a compiler and the compiler should always
know the exact name of the symbol, I guess).
- Fuzzy symbol resolution: In addition to x86 name decoration,
the linker has to look for cdecl or C++ mangled symbols
for a given /export. For example, it searches for not only
_foo but also _foo@<number> or ??foo@... for /export:foo.
Previous implementation didn't get it right. I'm trying to make
it as compatible with MSVC linker as possible with this patch
however the rules are. The new code looks a bit messy to me, but
I don't think it can be simpler due to the ad-hoc-ness of the rules.

There are some DLLs whose initializers depends on other DLLs'
initializers. The initialization order matters for them.
MSVC linker uses the order of the libraries from the command line.
LLD used ASCII-betical order. So they were incompatible.
This patch makes LLD compatible with MSVC.

I don't fully understand the rationale behind the name mangling
scheme used for the DLL export table and the import library.
Why only leading "_" is dropped for the import library while
both "_" and "@" are dropped from DLL symbol table? But this seems
to be what MSVC linker does.

In many places we assumed that is64() means AMD64 and i386 otherwise.
This assumption is not sound because Windows also supports ARM.
The linker doesn't support ARM yet, but this is a first step.

An object file compatible with Safe SEH contains a .sxdata section.
The section contains a list of symbol table indices, each of which
is an exception handler function. A safe SEH-enabled executable
contains a list of exception handler RVAs. So, what the linker has
to do to support Safe SEH is basically to read the .sxdata section,
interpret the contents as a list of symbol indices, unique-fy and
sort their RVAs, and then emit that list to .rdata. This patch
implements that feature.
