Previously we emitted 20-byte SHA1 hashes. This is overkill
for identifying debug info records, and has the negative side
effect of making object files bigger and links slower. By
using only the last 8 bytes of a SHA1, we get smaller object
files and ~10% faster links.
This modifies the format of the .debug$H section by adding a new
value for the hash algorithm field, so that the linker will still
work when its object files have an old format.

The prefix includes type kind, which is important to preserve. Two
different type leafs can easily have the same interior record contents
as another type.
We ran into this issue in PR37492 where a bitfield type record collided
with a const modifier record. Their contents were bitwise identical, but
their kinds were different.

When emitting CodeView debug information, compiler-generated thunk routines
should be emitted using S_THUNK32 symbols instead of S_GPROC32_ID symbols so
Visual Studio can properly step into the user code. This initial support only

To make use of that infrastructure we need to invoke llvm::sort instead of

While reading Codeview records which contain variable-length encoded integers,
such as LF_BCLASS, LF_ENUMERATE, LF_MEMBER, LF_VBCLASS or LF_IVBCLASS,
the record's size would be improperly calculated in cases where the value was
indeed of a variable length (>= LF_NUMERIC). This caused a bad alignement on
the next record, which would/might crash later on.

When investigating bugs in PDB generation, the first step is
often to do the same link with link.exe and then compare PDBs.
But comparing PDBs is hard because two completely different byte
sequences can both be correct, so it hampers the investigation when
you also have to spend time figuring out not just which bytes are
different, but also if the difference is meaningful.
This patch fixes a couple of cases related to string table emission,
hash table emission, and the order in which we emit strings that
makes more of our bytes the same as the bytes generated by MS PDBs.

The issue causing this to fail in certain configurations

Natvis is a debug language supported by Visual Studio for
specifying custom visualizers. The /NATVIS option is an
undocumented link.exe flag which will take a .natvis file
and "inject" it into the PDB. This way, you can ship the
debug visualizers for a program along with the PDB, which
is very useful for postmortem debugging.
This is implemented by adding a new "named stream" to the
PDB with a special name of /src/files/<natvis file name>
and simply copying the contents of the xml into this file.
Additionally, we need to emit a single stream named
/src/headerblock which contains a hash table of embedded
files to records describing them.
This patch adds this functionality, including the /NATVIS
option to lld-link.

Qualifiers on a pointer or reference type may apply to either the
pointee or the pointer itself. Consider 'const char *' and 'char *
const'. In the first example, the pointee data may not be modified
without casts, and in the second example, the pointer may not be updated
to point to new data.
In the general case, qualifiers are applied to types with LF_MODIFIER
records, which support the usual const and volatile qualifiers as well
as the __unaligned extension qualifier.
However, LF_POINTER records, which are used for pointers, references,
and member pointers, have flags for qualifiers applying to the
*pointer*. In fact, this is the only way to represent the restrict
qualifier, which can only apply to pointers, and cannot qualify regular
data types.
This patch causes LLVM to correctly fold 'const' and 'volatile' pointer
qualifiers into the pointer record, as well as adding support for
'__restrict' qualifiers in the same place.

Based on a profile, a couple of hot spots were identified in the

were re-arranged, and some outlined functions were inlined. This

off of a 40 second link in my test case.

This was storing the hash alongside the key so that the hash
doesn't need to be re-computed every time, but in doing so it
was allocating a structure to keep the key size small in the
DenseMap. This is a noble goal, but it also leads to a pointer
indirection on every probe, and this cost of this pointer
indirection ends up being higher than the cost of having a
slightly larger entry in the hash table. Removing this not only
simplifies the code, but yields a small but noticeable
performance improvement in the type merging algorithm.
llvm-svn: 319493
This class had some code that would automatically remap type
indices before hashing and serializing. The only caller of
this method was the TypeStreamMerger anyway, and the method
doesn't make general sense, and prevents making certain future
improvements to the class. So, factoring this up one level
into the TypeStreamMerger where it belongs.
llvm-svn: 319377
A couple of places in LLD were passing references to
TypeTableCollections around, which makes it hard to change the
implementation at runtime. However, these cases only needed to
iterate over the types in the collection, and TypeCollection
already provides a handy abstract interface for this purpose.
By implementing this interface, we can get rid of the need to
pass TypeTableBuilder references around, which should allow us
to swap the implementation at runtime in subsequent patches.
llvm-svn: 319345
The motivation behind this patch is that future directions require us to
be able to compute the hash value of records independently of actually
using them for de-duplication.
The current structure of TypeSerializer / TypeTableBuilder being a
single entry point that takes an unserialized type record, and then
hashes and de-duplicates it is not flexible enough to allow this.
At the same time, the existing TypeSerializer is already extremely
complex for this very reason -- it tries to be too many things. In
addition to serializing, hashing, and de-duplicating, ti also supports
splitting up field list records and adding continuations. All of this
functionality crammed into this one class makes it very complicated to
work with and hard to maintain.
To solve all of these problems, I've re-written everything from scratch
and split the functionality into separate pieces that can easily be
reused. The end result is that one class TypeSerializer is turned into 3
new classes SimpleTypeSerializer, ContinuationRecordBuilder, and
TypeTableBuilder, each of which in isolation is simple and
straightforward.
A quick summary of these new classes and their responsibilities are:
- SimpleTypeSerializer : Turns a non-FieldList leaf type into a series of
bytes. Does not do any hashing. Every time you call it, it will
re-serialize and return bytes again. The same instance can be re-used
over and over to avoid re-allocations, and in exchange for this
optimization the bytes returned by the serializer only live until the
caller attempts to serialize a new record.
- ContinuationRecordBuilder : Turns a FieldList-like record into a series
of fragments. Does not do any hashing. Like SimpleTypeSerializer,
returns references to privately owned bytes, so the storage is
invalidated as soon as the caller tries to re-use the instance. Works
equally well for LF_FIELDLIST as it does for LF_METHODLIST, solving a
long-standing theoretical limitation of the previous implementation.
- TypeTableBuilder : Accepts sequences of bytes that the user has already
serialized, and inserts them by de-duplicating with a hash table. For
the sake of convenience and efficiency, this class internally stores a
SimpleTypeSerializer so that it can accept unserialized records. The
same is not true of ContinuationRecordBuilder. The user is required to
create their own instance of ContinuationRecordBuilder.

The list of register ids was previously written out in a couple of dirrent
places. This puts it in a .def file and also adds a few more registers (e.g.
the x87 regs) which should lead to more readable dumps, but I didn't include

relying on magic constants anymore. The TODO of using tablegen still stands.

We have llvm-readobj for dumping CodeView from object files, and
llvm-pdbutil has always been more focused on PDB. However,
llvm-pdbutil has a lot of useful options for summarizing debug
information in aggregate and presenting high level statistical
views. Furthermore, it's arguably better as a testing tool since
we don't have to write tests to conform to a state-machine like
structure where you match multiple lines in succession, each
depending on a previous match. llvm-pdbutil dumps much more
concisely, so it's possible to use single-line matches in many
cases where as with readobj tests you have to use multi-line
matches with an implicit state machine.
Because of this, I'm adding object file support to llvm-pdbutil.
In fact, this mirrors the cvdump tool from Microsoft, which also
supports both object files and pdb files. In the future we could
perhaps rename this tool llvm-cvutil.
In the meantime, this allows us to deep dive into object files
the same way we already can with PDB files.

When dumping, we were treating the S_INLINESITESYM as referring
to a type record, when it actually refers to an id record. We
had this correct in TypeIndexDiscovery, so our merging algorithm
should be fine, but we had it wrong in the dumper, which means it
would appear to work most of the time, unless the index was out
of bounds in the type stream, when it would fail. Fixed this, and
audited a few other cases to make them match the behavior in
TypeIndexDiscovery.
Also, I've now observed a new symbol record with kind 0x1168 which
I have no clue what it is, so to avoid crashing we have to just
print "Unknown Symbol Kind".

Previously we were writing an empty globals stream. Windows

without it we don't have information about global variables, so

The compiler outputs PROC32_ID symbols into the object files
for functions, and these symbols have an embedded type index
which, when copied to the PDB, refer to the IPI stream. However,
the symbols themselves are also converted into regular symbols
(e.g. S_GPROC32_ID -> S_GPROC32), and type indices in the regular
symbol records refer to the TPI stream. So this patch applies
two fixes to function records.
1. It converts ID symbols to the proper non-ID record type.
2. After remapping the type index from the object file's index
space to the PDB file/IPI stream's index space, it then
remaps that index to the TPI stream's index space by.
Besides functions, during the remapping process we were also
discarding symbol record types which we did not recognize.
In particular, we were discarding S_BPREL32 records, which is
what MSVC uses to describe local variables on the stack. So
this patch fixes that as well by copying them to the PDB.

The PDB "symbol stream" actually contains symbol records for the publics
and the globals stream. The globals and publics streams are essentially
hash tables that point into a single stream of records. In order to
match cvdump's behavior, we need to only dump symbol records referenced
from the hash table. This patch implements that, and then implements
global stream dumping, since it's just a subset of public stream
dumping.
Now we shouldn't see S_PROCREF or S_GDATA32 records when dumping
publics, and instead we should see those record in the globals stream.

We were treating the GUIDs in TypeServer2Record as strings, and the

We already had the PDB_UniqueId type portably represent a Windows GUID,

we can use it in the TypeServer2Record as well as in PDB parsing code.
