This patch adds new errors and error checking to the ObjectLinkingLayer to
catch cases where a compiled or loaded object either:
(1) Contains definitions not covered by its responsibility set, or
(2) Is missing definitions that are covered by its responsibility set.
Proir to this patch providing the correct set of definitions was treated as
an API contract requirement, however this requires that the client be confident
in the correctness of the whole compiler / object-cache pipeline and results
in difficult-to-debug assertions upon failure. Treating this as a recoverable
error results in clearer diagnostics.
The performance overhead of this check is one comparison of densemap keys
(symbol string pointers) per linking object, which is minimal. If this overhead
ever becomes a problem we can add the check under a flag that can be turned off
if the client fully trusts the rest of the pipeline.
In a34680a33e OrcError.h and Orc/RPC/*.h were split out from the rest of
ExecutionEngine in order to eliminate false dependencies for remote JIT
targets (see https://reviews.llvm.org/D68732), however this broke modules
builds (see https://reviews.llvm.org/D69817).
This patch splits these headers out into a separate module, LLVM_OrcSupport,
in order to fix the modules build.
Fixes <rdar://56377508>.
Summary:
When createing an ORC remote JIT target the current library split forces the target process to link large portions of LLVM (Core, Execution Engine, JITLink, Object, MC, Passes, RuntimeDyld, Support, Target, and TransformUtils). This occurs because the ORC RPC interfaces rely on the static globals the ORC Error types require, which starts a cycle of pulling in more and more.
This patch breaks the ORC RPC Error implementations out into an "OrcError" library which only depends on LLVM Support. It also pulls the ORC RPC headers into their own subdirectory.
With this patch code can include the Orc/RPC/*.h headers and will only incur link dependencies on LLVMOrcError and LLVMSupport.
