Previously we have a string -> string map to keep the weak alias
symbol mapping. Naturally we can't define more than one weak alias
with that data structure.
This patch is to allow multiple aliases for the same symbol by
changing the map type to string -> set of string map.

The LayoutPass is one of the slowest pass. This change is to skip
that pass. This change not only improve performance but also improve
maintainability of the code because the LayoutPass is pretty complex.
Previously we used the LayoutPass to sort all atoms in a specific way,
and reorder them again for PE/COFF in GroupedSectionPass.
I spent time on improving and fixing bugs in the LayoutPass (e.g.
r193029), but the pass is still hard to understand and hard to use.
It's better not to depend on that if we don't need. For PE/COFF, we
just wanted to sort atoms in the same order as the file order in the
command line.
The feature we used in the LayoutPass is now simplified to
compareByPosition function in OrderPass.cpp. The function is just 5
lines.
This patch changes the order of final output because it changes the
sort order a bit. The output is still correct, though.

Before this patch there was a cyclic dependency between lldCore and
lldReaderWriter. Only lldConfig could be built as a shared library.
* Moved Reader and Writer base classes into lldCore.
* The following shared libraries can now be built:
lldCore
lldYAML
lldNative
lldPasses
lldReaderWriter

We had such class there because of InputGraph abstraction.
Previously, no one except InputGraph itself has complete picture of
input file list. In order to create a set of all defined symbols,
we had to use some indirections there to workaround InputGraph.
It can now be rewritten as simple code. No change in functionality.
llvm-svn: 226319
This patch makes File::parse() multi-thread safe. If one thread is running
File::parse(), other threads will block if they try to call the same method.
File::parse() is idempotent, so you can safely call multiple times.
With this change, we don't have to wait for all worker threads to finish
in Driver::link(). Previously, Driver::link() calls TaskGroup::sync() to
wait for all threads running File::parse(). This was not ideal because
we couldn't start the resolver until we parse all files.
This patch increase parallelism by making Driver::link() to not wait for
worker threads. The resolver calls parse() to make sure that the file
being read has been parsed, and then uses the file. In this approach,
the resolver can run with the parser threads in parallel.

InputElement was named that because it's an element of an InputGraph.
It's losing the origin because the InputGraph is now being removed.
InputElement's subclass is FileNode, that naming inconsistency needed
to be fixed.

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.

These changes depended on r225674 and had been rolled back in r225859.
Because r225674 has been re-submitted, it's safe to re-submit them.

r225764 broke a basic functionality on Mac OS. This change reverts
r225764, r225766, r225767, r225769, r225814, r225816, r225829, and r225832.

PECOFF was the only user of the API, and the reason why we created
the API is because, although the driver creates a list of input files,
it has no knowledge on what files are being created. It was because
everything was hidden behind the InputGraph abstraction.
Now the driver knows what that's doing. We no longer need this
indirection to get the file list being processed.
llvm-svn: 225767
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.
llvm-svn: 223330
There are many build files in the wild that depend on the fact that
link.exe produces a PDB file if /DEBUG option is given. They fail
if the file is not created.
This patch is to make LLD create an empty (dummy) file to satisfy
such build targets. This doesn't do anything other than "touching"
the file.
If a target depends on the content of the PDB file, this workaround
is no help, of course. Otherwise this patch should help build some
stuff.
llvm-svn: 222773
If /subsystem option is not given, the linker needs to infer the
subsystem based on the entry point symbol. If it fails to infer
that, the linker should error out on it.
LLD was almost correct, but it would fail to infer the subsystem
if the entry point is specified with /entry. This is because the
subsystem inference was coupled with the entry point function
searching (if no entry point name is specified, the linker needs
to find the right entry name).
This patch makes the subsystem inference an independent pass to
fix the issue. Now, as long as an entry point function is defined,
LLD can infer the subsystem no matter how it resolved the entry
point.
I don't think scanning all the defined symbols is fast, although
it shouldn't be that slow. The file class there does not provide
any easy way to find an atom by name, so this is what we can do
at this moment. I'd like to revisit this later to make it more
efficient.
llvm-svn: 221499
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
Previously we emit two or more identical definitions for an
exported symbol if the same /export option is given more than
once. This patch fixes that bug.
llvm-svn: 218433
/machine:ebc was previously recognized but rejected. Unknown architecture
names were handled differently but eventually rejected too. We don't need
to distinguish them.
llvm-svn: 218344
This patch changes the type of export table set from std::set to
std::vector. The new code is slightly inefficient, but because
export table elements are actually mutable, std::vector is better
here. No functionality change.
llvm-svn: 218343
If two or more /export options are given for the same symbol, we should
always print a warning message and use the first one regardless of other
parameters.
Previously there was a case that the first parameter is not used.
llvm-svn: 218342
Accept /machine:arm as an argument. This is changed to support ARM NT.
Although there is no way to differentiate between ARM (Windows CE) and ARM NT
(Windows on ARM), since LLVM currently only supports Windows on ARM, simply take
/machine:arm to mean Windows on ARM.
llvm-svn: 218105
I made LLD to report an error if /safeseh:no option is given on x64,
but it turned out MSVC link.exe doesn't report error on it.
Removing the check.
llvm-svn: 218077
The entry point file needs to be processed after all other
object files and before all .lib files. It was processed
after .lib files. That caused an issue that the entry point
function was not resolved from the standard library files.
llvm-svn: 213804
On Windows there are four "main" functions -- main, wmain, WinMain,
or wWinMain. Their parameter types are diffferent. The standard
library provides four different entry functions (i.e.
{w,}{WinMain,main}CRTStartup) for them. You need to use the right
entry routine for your "main" function.
If you give an /entry option, the specified name is used
unconditionally.
Otherwise, the linker needs to select the right one based on
user-supplied entry point function. This can be done after the
linker reads all the input files.
This patch moves the code to determine the entry point function
from the driver to a virtual input file. It also implements the
correct logic for the entry point function selection.
llvm-svn: 213713
As written in the comment in this patch, symbol names specified with
/export option is resolved in a special way; for /export:foo, linker
finds a foo@<number> symbol if such symbols exists.
On Windows, a function in stdcall calling convention is mangled with
a leading underscore and following "@" and numbers. This name
mangling is kind of automatic, so you can sometimes omit _ and @number
when specifying a symbol. /export option is that case.
Previously, if a file in an archive file foo.lib provides a symbol
_fn@8, and /export:fn is specified, LLD failed to resolve the symbol.
It only tried to find _fn, and failed to find _fn@8. With this patch,
_fn@8 will be searched on the second iteration.

We did not actively try to resolve dllexported symbols specified
by /export or by a module definition file. So if exported symbols
would be resolved for other reasons, like other symbols refer to
them, that was fine, but if (unreferenced) exported symbols were
in an archive file, and no one refers to that file in the archive,
they remained unresolved.
That would obviously cause the issue that dllexported symbols are
not in a resultant DLL.
In this patch, we create an undefined symbol for each dllexported
symbol, to let the core linker to resolve it.
llvm-svn: 208452
Linker should create _imp_ symbols for local use only when such
symbols cannot be resolved in any other way. If it overrides real
imported symbols, such symbols remain virtually unresolved without
error, causing odd issues. I observed that a program linked with
LLD entered an infinite loop before reaching main() because of
this issue.
This patch moves the virtual file creating _imp_ symbols to the
very end of the input file list. Previously, the file is at the end
of the library file group. Linker might revisit the group many times,
so it was not really at the end of the input file list.
llvm-svn: 207605
Implicit symbol for local use implemented in r207141 was not fully
compatible with MSVC link.exe. In r207141, I implemented the feature
in such way that implicit symbols are defined only when they are
exported with /EXPORT option.
After that I found that implicit symbols are defined not only for
dllexported symbols but for all defined symbols. Actually _imp_
implicit symbols have no relationship with the dllexport feature. You
could add _imp_ to any symbol to get a pointer to the symbol, whether
the symbol is dllexported or not. It looks pretty weird to me but
that's what we want if link.exe behaves that way.
Here is a bit about the implementation: Creating all implicit symbols
beforehand is going to be a huge waste of resource. This feature is
rarely used, and MSVC link.exe even prints out a warning message when
it finds this feature is being used. So we create implicit symbols
on demand. There is an archive file that creates implicit symbols when
they are needed.
llvm-svn: 207476
Not all symbols are decorated with an underscore in x86. You can
write undecorated symbols in assembly, for example. Thus this
assertion is too strong.

Seems getSomething() is more common naming scheme than just a noun
to get something, so renaming these members.

This patch is to support --defsym option for ELF file format/GNU-compatible
driver. Currently it takes a symbol name followed by '=' and a number. If such
option is given, the driver sets up an absolute symbol with the specified
address. You can specify multiple --defsym options to define multiple symbols.
GNU LD's --defsym provides many more features. For example, it allows users to
specify another symbol name instead of a number to define a symbol alias, or it
even allows a symbol plus an offset (e.g. --defsym=foo+3) to define symbol-
relative alias. This patch does not support that, but will be supported in
subsequent patches.
