loadFile could load mulitple files just because yaml has a feature for
putting multiple documents in one file.
Designing a linker around what yaml can do seems like a bad idea to
me. This patch changes it to read a single file.
There are further improvements to be done to the api and they
will follow shortly.

The Native file format was designed to be the fastest on-memory or
on-disk file format for object files. The problem is that no one
is working on that. No LLVM tools can produce object files in
the Native, thus the feature of supporting the format is useless
in the linker.
This patch removes the Native file support. We can add it back
if we really want it in future.

This patch defines implicit conversion between integers and PowerOf2
instances, so uses of the classes is now implicit and look like
regular integers. Now we are ready to remove the scaffolding.
llvm-svn: 233245
The new constructor's type is the same, but this one takes not a log2
value but an alignment value itself, so the meaning is totally differnet.
llvm-svn: 233244
This patch is to make instantiation and conversion to an integer explicit,
so that we can mechanically replace all occurrences of the class with
integer in the next step.
Now get() returns an alignment value rather than its log2 value.
llvm-svn: 233242
We are using log2 values and values themselves to represent alignments.
For example, alignment 8 is sometimes represented as 3 (8 == 2^3).
We want to stop using log2 values.
Because both types are regular arithmetic types, we cannot get help from
a compiler to find places we mix two representations. That makes this
merging work surprisingly hard because if I make a mistake, I'll just get
wrong results at runtime (Yay types!). In this patch, I introduced
a class to represents power-of-two values, which is basically an alias
for an integer type.
Once the migration is done, the class will be removed.

They were the last member functions of InputGraph (besides members()).
Now InputGraph is just a container of a vector. We are ready to replace
InputGraph with plain File vector.

The original commit had an issue with Mac OS dylib files. It didn't
handle fat binary dylib files correctly. This patch includes a fix.
A test for that case has already been committed in r225764.
llvm-svn: 226123
r225764 broke a basic functionality on Mac OS. This change reverts
r225764, r225766, r225767, r225769, r225814, r225816, r225829, and r225832.

Summary:
Work on adding -rpath support to the mach-o linker.
This patch is based on the ld64 behavior for the command line option validation.
It includes a basic test to check that the LC_RPATH load commands are properly generated when that option is used.
It also add LC_RPATH support to the binary reader, but I don't know how to test it though.

This reverts commit r223330 because it broke Darwin and ELF
linkers in a way that we couldn't have caught with the existing
test cases.

The aim of this patch is to reduce the excessive abstraction from
the InputGraph. We found that even a simple thing, such as sorting
input files (Mach-O) or adding a new file to the input file list
(PE/COFF), is nearly impossible with the InputGraph abstraction,
because it hides too much information behind it. As a result,
we invented complex interactions between components (e.g.
notifyProgress() mechanism) and tricky code to work around that
limitation. There were many occasions that we needed to write
awkward code.
This patch is a first step to make it cleaner. As a first step,
this removes Group class from the InputGraph. The grouping feature
is now directly handled by the Resolver. notifyProgress is removed
since we no longer need that. I could have cleaned it up even more,
but in order to keep the patch minimum, I focused on Group.
SimpleFileNode class, a container of File objects, is now limited
to have only one File. We shold have done this earlier.
We used to allow putting multiple File objects to FileNode.
Although SimpleFileNode usually has only one file, the Driver class
actually used that capability. I modified the Driver class a bit,
so that one FileNode is created for each input File.
We should now probably remove SimpleFileNode and directly store
File objects to the InputGraph in some way, because a container
that can contain only one object is useless. This is a TODO.
Mach-O input files are now sorted before they are passe to the
Resolver. DarwinInputGraph class is no longer needed, so removed.
PECOFF still has hacky code to add a new file to the input file list.
This will be cleaned up in another patch.

The darwin linker lets you rearrange functions and data for better locality
(less paging). You do this with the -order_file option which supplies a text
file containing one symbol per line.
Implementing this required a small change to LayoutPass to add a custom sorter
hook.
llvm-svn: 221545
The darwin linker has two ways to force all members of an archive to be loaded.
The -all_load option applies to all static libraries. The -force_load takes
a path to a library and just that library's members are force loaded.
llvm-svn: 221477
The darwin linker does not process dwarf debug info. Instead it produces a
"debug map" in the output file which points back to the original .o files for
anything that wants debug info (e.g. debugger).
The -S option means "don't add a debug map". lld for mach-o currently does
not generate the debug map, so there is nothing to do when this option is used.
But we need to process the option to get existing projects building.
llvm-svn: 221432
The darwin linker operates differently than the gnu linker with respect to
libraries. The darwin linker first links in all object files from the command
line, then to resolve any remaining undefines, it repeatedly iterates over
libraries on the command line until either all undefines are resolved or no
undefines were resolved in the last pass.
When Shankar made the InputGraph model, the plan for darwin was for the darwin
driver to place all libraries in a group at the end of the InputGraph. Thus
making the darwin model a subset of the gnu model. But it turns out that does
not work because the driver cannot tell if a file is an object or library until
it has been loaded, which happens later.
This solution is to subclass InputGraph for darwin and just iterate the graph
the way darwin linker needs.
llvm-svn: 220330
To deal with cycles in shared library dependencies, the darwin linker supports
marking specific link dependencies as "upward". An upward link is when a
lower level library links against a higher level library.
llvm-svn: 219949
This option is added by Xcode when it runs the linker. It produces a binary
file which contains the file the linker used. Xcode uses the info to
dynamically update it dependency tracking.
To check the content of the binary file, the test case uses a python script
to dump the binary file as text which FileCheck can check.
llvm-svn: 219039
No functionality change. This removes a down-cast from LinkingContext to
MachOLinkingContext.
Also, remove const from LinkingContext::createImplicitFiles() to remove
the need for another const cast. Seems reasonable for createImplicitFiles()
to need to modify the context (MachOLinkingContext does).
llvm-svn: 218796
The darwin linker has the -demangle option which directs it to demangle C++
(and soon Swift) mangled symbol names. Long term we need some Diagnostics object
for formatting errors and warnings. But for now we have the Core linker just
writing messages to llvm::errs(). So, to enable demangling, I changed the
Resolver to call a LinkingContext method on the symbol name.
To make this more interesting, the demangling code is done via __cxa_demangle()
which is part of the C++ ABI, which is only supported on some platforms, so I
had to conditionalize the code with the config generated HAVE_CXXABI_H.
llvm-svn: 218718
The provided base must also be a multiple of the system's page size, which is a
reasonable enough demand.
Also check the other diagnostics more thoroughly.
llvm-svn: 217577
There is a bit (MH_PIE) in the flags field of the mach_header which tells
the kernel is a program was built position independent (for ASLR). The linker
automatically attempts to build programs PIE if they are built for a recent
OS version. But the -pie and -no_pie options override that default behavior.
llvm-svn: 217408
Mach-O has a "fat" (or "universal") variant where the same contents built for
different architectures are concatenated into one file with a table-of-contents
header at the start. But this leaves a dilemma for the linker - which
architecture to use.
Normally, the linker command line -arch is used to force which slice of any fat
files are used. The clang compiler always passes -arch to the linker when
invoking it. But some Makefiles invoke the linker directly and don’t specify
the -arch option. For those cases, the linker scans all input files in command
line order and finds the first non-fat object file. Whatever architecture it
is becomes the architecture for the link.
llvm-svn: 217189
Both options control the final scope of atoms.
When -exported_symbols_list <file> is used, the file is parsed into one
symbol per line in the file. Only those symbols will be exported (global)
in the final linked image.
The -keep_private_externs option is only used with -r mode. Normally, -r
mode reduces private extern (scopeLinkageUnit) symbols to non-external. But
add the -keep_private_externs option keeps them private external.
