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.

canParse took three parameters -- file magic, filename extension and
memory buffer. All but YAMLReader ignored the second parameter.
This patch removes the parameter.

File objects are not really const in the resolver. We set ordinals to
them and call beforeLink hooks. Also, File's member functions marked
as const are not really const. ArchiveFile never returns the same
member file twice, so it remembers files returned before. find() has
side effects.
In order to deal with the inconsistencies, we sprinkled const_casts
and marked member varaibles as mutable.
This patch removes const from there to reflect the reality.

std::promise and std::future in old version of libstdc++ are buggy.
I think that's the reason why LLD tests were flaky on Ubuntu 13
buildbots until we disabled file preloading.
In this patch, I implemented very simple future and used that in
FileArchive. Compared to std::promise and std::future, it lacks
many features, but should serve our purpose.

"virtual" was present at a wrong place. FileArchive is a subclass of
ArchiveLibraryFile, and a FileArchive can be deleted through a
pointer of ArchiveLibraryFile. We want to make the destructor of the
base class virtual.

Previously we only have File::path() to get the path name of a file.
If a file was a member of an archive file, path() returns a concatenated
string of the file name in the archive and the archive file name.
If we wanted to get a file name or an archive file name, we had to
parse that string. That's of course not good.
This patch adds new member functions, archivePath and memberPath, to File.

LLD parses archive file index table only at first. When it finds a symbol
it is looking for is defined in a member file in an archive file, it actually
reads the member from the archive file. That's done in the core linker.
That's a single-thread process since the core linker is single threaded.
If your command line contains a few object files and a lot of archive files
(which is quite often the case), LLD hardly utilizes hardware parallelism.
This patch improves parallelism by speculatively instantiating archive
file members. At the beginning of the core linking, we first create a map
containing all symbols defined in all members, and each time we find a
new undefined symbol, we instantiate a member file containing the
symbol (if such file exists). File instantiation is side effect free, so this
should not affect correctness.
This is a quick benchmark result. Time to link self-link LLD executable:
Linux 9.78s -> 8.50s (0.86x)
Windows 6.18s -> 4.51s (0.73x)

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.

The documentation of parseFile() said that "the resulting File
object may take ownership of the MemoryBuffer." So, whether or not
the ownership of a MemoryBuffer would be taken was not clear.
A FileNode (a subclass of InputElement, which is being deprecated)
keeps the ownership if a File doesn't take it.
This patch makes File always take the ownership of a buffer.
Buffers lifespan is not always the same as File instances.
Files are able to deallocate buffers after parsing the contents.

This is a second patch for InputGraph cleanup.
Sorry about the size of the patch, but what I did in this
patch is basically moving code from constructor to a new
method, parse(), so the amount of new code is small.
This has no change in functionality.
We've discussed the issue that we have too many classes
to represent a concept of "file". We have File subclasses
that represent files read from disk. In addition to that,
we have bunch of InputElement subclasses (that are part
of InputGraph) that represent command line arguments for
input file names. InputElement is a wrapper for File.
InputElement has parseFile method. The method instantiates
a File. The File's constructor reads a file from disk and
parses that.
Because parseFile method is called from multiple worker
threads, file parsing is processed in parallel. In other
words, one reason why we needed the wrapper classes is
because a File would start reading a file as soon as it
is instantiated.
So, the reason why we have too many classes here is at
least partly because of the design flaw of File class.
Just like threads in a good threading library, we need
to separate instantiation from "start" method, so that
we can instantiate File objects when we need them (which
should be very fast because it involves only one mmap()
and no real file IO) and use them directly instead of
the wrapper classes. Later, we call parse() on each
file in parallel to let them do actual file IO.
In this design, we can eliminate a reason to have the
wrapper classes.
In order to minimize the size of the patch, I didn't go so
far as to replace the wrapper classes with File classes.
The wrapper classes are still there.
In this patch, we call parse() immediately after
instantiating a File, so this really has no change in
functionality. Eventually the call of parse() should be
moved to Driver::link(). That'll be done in another patch.

When FileArchive loads a member, it instantiates a temporary MemoryBuffer
which points to the member range of the archive file. The problem is that the
object file parsers call getBufferIndentifer() on that temporary MemoryBuffer
and store that StringRef as the _path data member for that lld::File. When
FileArchive::instantiateMember() goes out of scope the MemoryBuffer is deleted
and the File::._path becomes a dangling reference.
The fix adds a vector<> to FileArchive to own the instantiated MemoryBuffers.
In addition it fixes member's path to be the standard format
(e.g. "/path/libfoo.a(foo.o)") instead of just the leaf name.
llvm-svn: 221544
This fixes the way archive members are displayed when the linker is used with a
flag to show all the files that it processes.
When an archive file member is read, we need to show the archive filename and
the member.

Moved code used only by isDataSymbol from find to isDataSymbol member
function. Also changed the return type of isDataSymbol because
previously "if (isDataSymbol(...))" meant "if it is *not* a data symbol"
which is opposite from what you'd expect.
llvm-svn: 217285
Previously FileArchive ctor comment said that only its subclasses
can be instantiated, but the ctor is actually public and is
instantiated by ArchiveReader.
Remove the wrong comment and reorder the member functions so that
public members appear before private ones.

Make it possible to add observers to an Input Graph, so that files
returned from an Input Graph can be examined before they are
passed to Resolver.
To implement some PE/COFF features we need to know all the symbols
that *can* be solved, including ones in archive files that are not
yet to be read.
Currently, Resolver only maintains a set of symbols that are
already read. It has no knowledge on symbols in skipped files in
an archive file.
There are many ways to implement that. I chose to apply the
observer pattern here because it seems most non-intrusive. We don't
want to mess up Resolver with architecture specific features.
Even in PE/COFF, the feature that needs this mechanism is minor.
So I chose not to modify Resolver, but add a hook to Input Graph.
