UniversalDriver was used as a dispatcher to each platform-specific driver.
It had its own Options.td file. It was not just too much to parse only a
few options (we only want to parse -core, -flavor or argv[0]),
but also interpreted arguments too early. For example, if you invoke lld as
"lld -flavor gnu ... -help", then you'd get the UniversalDriver's help
message instead of GnuDriver's. This patch eliminates the use of Options
from the dispatcher.

This is a direct port of the new PE/COFF linker to ELF.
It can take a single object file and generate a valid executable that executes at the first byte in the text section.
llvm-svn: 242088
This situation will only be temporary; I imagine we will eventually want to
have the new linker take the lld-link alias after we remove the old one.
However, I would like to port the CFI test suite in the compiler-rt
repository to Windows using the new COFF linker's LTO support; these tests
currently use gcc-style command lines and invoke the linker via the
compiler driver.
We can select the linker using the -fuse-ld flag, which Clang supports on
Windows, but it takes an executable name, rather than a list of arguments
(so "-fuse-ld=lld -flavor link2" wouldn't work), and it doesn't seem worth
the effort to extend the Clang driver to support arguments.

This is an initial patch for a section-based COFF linker.
The patch has 2300 lines of code including comments and blank lines.
Before diving into details, you want to start from reading README
because it should give you an overview of the design.
All important things are written in the README file, so I write
summary here.
- The linker is already able to self-link on Windows.
- It's significantly faster than the existing implementation.
The existing one takes 5 seconds to link LLD on my machine,
while the new one only takes 1.2 seconds, even though the new
one is not multi-threaded yet. (And a proof-of-concept multi-
threaded version was able to link it in 0.5 seconds.)
- It uses much less memory (250MB vs. 2GB virtual memory space
to self-host).
- IMHO the new code is much simpler and easier to read than
the existing PE/COFF port.

The canonical LLVM directory arrangement places binaries in the 'utils/'
tree when they are used as part of building the project. For example,
the tblgen binaries are built out of 'utils/' trees.
Tools which are not used by any other part of the build, including
testing utilities, are just in the 'tools' directory. For example, in
Clang we have 'c-index-test' which is exactly the same kind of thing as
'linker-script-test'.

The round-trip passes were introduced in r193300. The intention of
the change was to make sure that LLD is capable of reading end
writing such file formats.
But that turned out to be yet another over-designed stuff that had
been slowing down everyday development.
The passes ran after the core linker and before the writer. If you
had an additional piece of information that needs to be passed from
front-end to the writer, you had to invent a way to save the data to
YAML/Native. These passes forced us to do that even if that data
was not needed to be represented neither in an object file nor in
an executable/DSO. It doesn't make sense. We don't need these passes.

The parsing routines in the linker script to parse strings encoded in various
formats(hexadecimal, octal, decimal, etc), is needed by the GNU driver too. This
library provides helper functions for all flavors and flavors to add helper
functions which other flavors may make use of.

Summary: Add support in the universal driver to print the lld version and the

Clang creates "clang-cl" as a symlink to (or a copy of) "clang" for the MSVC-
compatible driver. This patch is to do the same thing for "link" and "lld".

This patch inverts the return value of these functions, so that they return
"true" on success and "false" on failure. The meaning of boolean return value
was mixed in LLD; for example, InputGraph::validate() returns true on success.
With this patch they'll become consistent.

The major changes are:
1) LinkerOptions has been merged into TargetInfo
2) LinkerInvocation has been merged into Driver
3) Drivers no longer convert arguments into an intermediate (core) argument
list, but instead create a TargetInfo object and call setter methods on
it. This is only how in-process linking would work. That is, you can
programmatically set up a TargetInfo object which controls the linking.
4) Lots of tweaks to test suite to work with driver changes
5) Add the DarwinDriver
6) I heavily doxygen commented TargetInfo.h
Things to do after this patch is committed:
a) Consider renaming TargetInfo, given its new roll.
b) Consider pulling the list of input files out of TargetInfo. This will
enable in-process clients to create one TargetInfo the re-use it with
different input file lists.
c) Work out a way for Drivers to format the warnings and error done in
core linking.
llvm-svn: 178776
This removes Target and moves the functionality it had over to TargetInfo.
This also simplifies LinkerInput by removing the InputKind. This will be handled elsewhere.

I really would have liked to split this patch up, but it would greatly
complicate the lld-core and lld drivers having to deal with both
{Reader,Writer}Option and TargetInfo.
llvm-svn: 173217
There is no way to test this at the moment because the options are not
processed until the link starts, and we can't pass an empty file.
