During D88827 it was requested to remove the local implementation
of Memory/File Buffers:
// TODO: refactor the buffer classes in LLVM to enable us to use them here
// directly.
This patch uses raw_ostream instead of Buffers. Generally, using streams
could allow us to reduce memory usages. No need to load all data into the
memory - the data could be streamed through a smaller buffer.
Thus, this patch uses raw_ostream as an interface for output data:
Error executeObjcopyOnBinary(CopyConfig &Config,
object::Binary &In,
raw_ostream &Out);
Note 1. This patch does not change the implementation of Writers
so that data would be directly stored into raw_ostream.
This is assumed to be done later.
Note 2. It would be better if Writers would be implemented in a such way
that data could be streamed without seeking/updating. If that would be
inconvenient then raw_ostream could be replaced with raw_pwrite_stream
to have a possibility to seek back and update file headers.
This is assumed to be done later if necessary.
Note 3. Current FileOutputBuffer allows using a memory-mapped file.
The raw_fd_ostream (which could be used if data should be stored in the file)
does not allow us to use a memory-mapped file. Memory map functionality
could be implemented for raw_fd_ostream:
It is possible to add resize() method into raw_ostream.
class raw_ostream {
void resize(uint64_t size);
}
That method, implemented for raw_fd_ostream, could create a memory-mapped file.
The streamed data would be written into that memory file then.
Thus we would be able to use memory-mapped files with raw_fd_ostream.
This is assumed to be done later if necessary.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

These were copied as part of the original design from the ELF
backend, but aren't necessary at the moment.

This is an initial implementation of no-op passthrough copying of COFF
with objcopy.
