The current state of affairs has auxiliary symbols described as a big
bag of bytes. This is less than satisfying, it detracts from the YAML
file as being human readable.
Instead, allow for symbols to optionally contain their auxiliary data.
This allows us to have a much higher level way of describing things like
weak symbols, function definitions and section definitions.
This depends on D3105.

Allow object files to be tagged with a version-min load command for iOS
or MacOSX.
Teach macho-dump to understand the version-min load commands for
testcases.

Since our error_category is based on the std one, we should have the
same visibility for the constructor. This also allows us to avoid
using the _do_message implementation detail in our own categories.

These linkages were introduced some time ago, but it was never very
clear what exactly their semantics were or what they should be used
for. Some investigation found these uses:
* utf-16 strings in clang.
* non-unnamed_addr strings produced by the sanitizers.
It turns out they were just working around a more fundamental problem.
For some sections a MachO linker needs a symbol in order to split the
section into atoms, and llvm had no idea that was the case. I fixed
that in r201700 and it is now safe to use the private linkage. When
the object ends up in a section that requires symbols, llvm will use a
'l' prefix instead of a 'L' prefix and things just work.
With that, these linkages were already dead, but there was a potential
future user in the objc metadata information. I am still looking at
CGObjcMac.cpp, but at this point I am convinced that linker_private
and linker_private_weak are not what they need.
The objc uses are currently split in
* Regular symbols (no '\01' prefix). LLVM already directly provides
whatever semantics they need.
* Uses of a private name (start with "\01L" or "\01l") and private
linkage. We can drop the "\01L" and "\01l" prefixes as soon as llvm
agrees with clang on L being ok or not for a given section. I have two
patches in code review for this.
* Uses of private name and weak linkage.
The last case is the one that one could think would fit one of these
linkages. That is not the case. The semantics are
* the linker will merge these symbol by *name*.
* the linker will hide them in the final DSO.
Given that the merging is done by name, any of the private (or
internal) linkages would be a bad match. They allow llvm to rename the
symbols, and that is really not what we want. From the llvm point of
view, these objects should really be (linkonce|weak)(_odr)?.
For now, just keeping the "\01l" prefix is probably the best for these
symbols. If we one day want to have a more direct support in llvm,
IMHO what we should add is not a linkage, it is just a hidden_symbol
attribute. It would be applicable to multiple linkages. For example,
on weak it would produce the current behavior we have for objc
metadata. On internal, it would be equivalent to private (and we
should then remove private).

Summary:
This adds ObjectFile::section_iterator_range, that allows to write
range-based for-loops running over all sections of a given file.
Several files from lib/ are converted to the new interface. Similar fixes
should be applied to a variety of llvm-* tools.

The official specifications state the name to be ARMNT (as per the Microsoft

This compiles with no changes to clang/lld/lldb with MSVC and includes
overloads to various functions which are used by those projects and llvm
which have OwningPtr's as parameters. This should allow out of tree
projects some time to move. There are also no changes to libs/Target,
which should help out of tree targets have time to move, if necessary.

This will allow external callers of these functions to switch over time
rather than forcing a breaking change all a once. These particular
functions were determined by building clang/lld/lldb.

COFF object files with 0 as string table size are currently rejected. This
prevents us from reading object files written by tools like cvtres that
violate the PECOFF spec and write 0 instead of 4 for the size of an empty
string table.

Offsets past the range of single-slash encoding are encoded as base64,
padded to 6 characters, and prefixed with two slashes. This encoding is
undocumented but used by MSVC.

This interface allows IRObjectFile to be implemented without having dummy
methods for all section and segment related methods.
Both llvm-ar and llvm-nm are changed to use it. Unfortunately the mangler is
still not plugged in since it requires some refactoring to make a Module hold
a DataLayout.

It is not clear how much we should try to expose in getFlags. For example,
should there be a SF_Object and a SF_Text?
But for information that is already being exposed, we may as well use it in
llvm-nm.

COFF has only one symbol table.
MachO has a LC_DYSYMTAB, but that is not a symbol table, just extra info about
the one symbol table (LC_SYMTAB).
IR (coming soon) also has only one table.

None of the object file formats reported error on iterator increment. In
retrospect, that is not too surprising: no object format stores symbols or
sections in a linked list or other structure that requires chasing pointers.
As a consequence, all error checking can be done on begin() and end().
This reduces the text segment of bin/llvm-readobj in my machine from 521233 to
518526 bytes.

PE32+ supports 64 bit address space, but the file format remains 32 bit.
So its file format is pretty similar to PE32 (32 bit executable). The
differences compared to PE32 are (1) the lack of "BaseOfData" field and
(2) some of its data members are 64 bit.
In this patch, I added a new member function to get a PE32+ Header object to
COFFObjectFile class and made llvm-readobj to use it.

identify_magic is not free, so we should avoid calling it twice. The argument
also makes it cheap for createBinary to just forward to createObjectFile.

The constructors of classes deriving from Binary normally take an error_code
as an argument to the constructor. My original intent was to change them
to have a trivial constructor and move the initial parsing logic to a static
method returning an ErrorOr. I changed my mind because:
* A constructor with an error_code out parameter is extremely convenient from
the implementation side. We can incrementally construct the object and give
up when we find an error.
* It is very efficient when constructing on the stack or when there is no
error. The only inefficient case is where heap allocating and an error is
found (we have to free the memory).
The result is that this is a much smaller patch. It just standardizes the
create* helpers to return an ErrorOr.
Almost no functionality change: The only difference is that this found that
we were trying to read past the end of COFF import library but ignoring the
error.

This patch adds the capability to dump export table contents. An example
output is this:
Export Table:
Ordinal RVA Name
5 0x2008 exportfn1
6 0x2010 exportfn2
By adding this feature to llvm-objdump, we will be able to use it to check
export table contents in LLD's tests. Currently we are doing binary
comparison in the tests, which is fragile and not readable to humans.

DataRefImpl (a union of two integers and a pointer) is not the ideal data type
to represent a reference to an import directory entity. We should just use the
pointer to the import table and an offset instead to simplify. No functionality
change.
llvm-svn: 199349
I did write a version returning ErrorOr<OwningPtr<Binary> >, but it is too
cumbersome to use without std::move. I will keep the patch locally and submit
when we switch to c++11.
