Archive files (.a) can have a symbol table indicating which object
files in them define which symbols. The purpose of this symbol table
is to speed up linking by allowing the linker the read only the .o
files it is actually going to use instead of having to parse every
object's symbol table.
LLVM's archive library currently supports a LLVM specific format for
such table. It is hard to see any value in that now that llvm-ld is
gone:
* System linkers don't use it: GNU ar uses the same plugin as the
linker to create archive files with a regular index. The OS X ar
creates no symbol table for IL files, I assume the linker just parses
all IL files.
* It doesn't interact well with archives having both IL and native objects.
* We probably don't want to be responsible for yet another archive
format variant.
This patch then:
* Removes support for creating and reading such index from lib/Archive.
* Remove llvm-ranlib, since there is nothing left for it to do.
We should in the future add support for regular indexes to llvm-ar for
both native and IL objects. When we do that, llvm-ranlib should be
reimplemented as a symlink to llvm-ar, as it is equivalent to "ar s".

This is the second and last (2/2) part of a change that moves llvm-symbolizer to llvm/tools/, which will allow to build it
with both cmake and configure+make.

llvm-ld is no longer useful and causes confusion and so it is being removed.
* Does not work very well on Windows because it must call a gcc like driver to
assemble and link.
* Has lots of hard coded paths which are wrong on many systems.
* Does not understand most of ld's options.
* Can be partially replaced by llvm-link | opt | {llc | as, llc -filetype=obj} |
ld, or fully replaced by Clang.
I know of no production use of llvm-ld, and hacking use should be
replaced by Clang's driver.

* Add begin_dynamic_table() / end_dynamic_table() private interface to ELFObjectFile.
* Add begin_libraries_needed() / end_libraries_needed() interface to ObjectFile, for grabbing the list of needed libraries for a shared object or dynamic executable.
* Implement this new interface completely for ELF, leave stubs for COFF and MachO.
* Add 'llvm-readobj' tool for dumping ObjectFile information.

Original commit message:
llvm-config: Replace with C++ version (was llvm-config-2).
- Reapply of r144300, with lots of fixes/migration easement in between.

for now).
- Mostly complete except for the data that needs to come from the build system
or the dependencies.
- Has some small improvements from current llvm-config:
o Uses TargetRegistry directly to get some information.
o Designed to work correctly when used from a CMake build tree (relatively
untested currently) (although pcc fixed this recently for old llvm-config).

Add llvm-cov skeleton. It has initial support to read coverage info generated by GCOVProfiling.cpp.
Today, you can do
prompt> clang a.c -ftest-coverage -fprofile-arcs -o a
prompt> ./a
prompt> llvm-cov -gcno a.gcno -gcda a.gcda

The problems that llvmc solved have largely been subsumed with the
tasks that the clang driver can accomplish, but llvmc lacks flexibility
and depends too heavily on the EOL'd llvm-gcc.

This introduces a new library to LLVM: libDebugInfo. It will provide debug information
parsing to LLVM. Much of the design and some of the code is taken from the LLDB project.
It also contains an llvm-dwarfdump tool that can dump the abbrevs and DIEs from an
object file. It can be used to write tests for DWARF input and output easily.

Add a bone-simple utility to load a MachO object into memory, look for
a function (main) in it, and run that function directly. This will be used
as a test and development platform for MC-JIT work regarding symbol resolution,
dynamic lookup, etc..

parallel with the rest of the tools directory as it depends on Clang.
This patch was first applied in r125956 and subsequently reverted in
r125964 as it broke in-tree builds. Makefile.rules was fixed up in
r126070 to handle missing optional directories for the in-tree case,
so it should be safe now to bring this patch back in.
llvm-svn: 126071
Update the cmake and autoconf build system to compile polly
as a shared library if it is checked out into tools/polly. In case
polly is not checked out, nothing changes.
This models the way clang can be added to llvm if checked out to tools/clang.
Also rebuild configure.

in certain circumstances
- basic blocks actually don't have their own numbering; did that change?
- add llvm-diff to the Makefile and CMake build systems

better in the llvm world. Among other things, this changes:
1. The guts of libedis are now moved into lib/MC/MCDisassembler
2. llvm-mc now depends on lib/MC/MCDisassembler, not tools/edis,
so edis and mc don't have to be built in series.
3. lib/MC/MCDisassembler no longer depends on the C api, the C
API depends on it.
4. Various code cleanup changes.
There is still a lot to be done to make edis fit with the llvm
design, but this is an incremental step in the right direction.

DIRS list, so it does no good to filter it from PARALLEL_DIRS), and replace
it with a check to disable building the shared library version of edis when
the flag is set. Disabling it entirely does not work because MC uses it now.
llvm-svn: 108367
libEnhancedDisassembly, so we now build the
static library in all cases (although the shared
library is only built when requested/possible).
Also, fixed a bug where edis wasn't properly
initializing the targets it uses.
llvm-svn: 101072
time I use the LIBS variable, which is not subject
to a %.a -> -l% transformation, to link llvm-mc
against libEnhancedDisassembly.
llvm-mc -edis works the same as llvm-mc
-disassemble, but outputs tokens and operands.
