This patch replaces the symbol table's object and archive queues, as well as
the convergent loop in the linker driver, with a design more similar to the
ELF linker where symbol resolution directly causes input files to be added to
the link, including input files arising from linker directives. Effectively
this removes the last vestiges of the old parallel input file loader.

This ports the ELF linker's symbol table design, introduced in r268178,
to the COFF linker.

The former option bases the filename on the output name, e.g. if the
link output is a.exe, the map will be written to a.map. This matches the
behaviour of link.exe's /MAP option and is useful for creating a map
file of each executable when building a large project.

Previously, we had different way to stringize SymbolBody and InputFile
to construct error messages. This patch defines overloaded function
toString() so that we don't need to memorize all these different
function names.
With that change, it is now easy to include demangled names in error
messages. Now, if there is a symbol name conflict, we'll print out
both mangled and demangled names.

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.

Object files compiled with cl.exe /GL contain intermediate code for LTO.
We can't (and don't want to) interpret such code, but we should print
out a user-friendly error message.

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).

This flag is implemented similarly to --reproduce in the ELF linker.
This patch implements /linkrepro by moving the cpio writer and associated
utility functions to lldCore, and using that implementation in both linkers.
One COFF-specific detail is that we store the object file from which the
resource files were created in our reproducer, rather than the resource
files themselves. This allows the reproducer to be used on non-Windows
systems for example.

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.

This flag disables link.exe's crash handler so that normal windows error
reporting and crash dumping occurs. For now it is reasonable for LLD to
ignore the flag.
Chromium is currently using this flag to collect minidumps of link.exe
crashing, and it breaks the LLD build.

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.

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.

Before this patch, we created an empty PDB file if /debug option is
specified. For MSVC linker, such PDB file is completely broken, and
linker exits without doing anything as soon as it finds an empty PDB
file.
A PDB file created in this patch has the correct file signature.
MSVC linker still thinks that the file is broken, but it then removes
and replaces with its output.
This is an initial patch to support PDB in LLD. We aim to support
PDB in order to make it 100% compatible with MSVC linker. PDB support
is the last missing piece.

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.
llvm-svn: 248225
The option is added in MSVC 2015, and there's no documentation about
what the option is. This patch is to ignore the option for now, so that
at least LLD is usable with MSVC 2015.

In r246424, I made a change that disables non-DLL to export
symbols. It turned out that the change was not correct. Both
DLLs and executables are able to export symbols (although the
latter is relatively rare). This change restores the feature.

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.
