Some archive files created during chromium build contains both BC
and native files. If that's the case, we want to pass the archive
file to link.exe. Otherwise, the MSVC linker would complain that
there's an unresolved symbol in a given set of files.
I cannot explain why link.exe doesn't complain about the presence
of bitcode files in this case, but it seems link.exe doesn't touch BC.

If /msvclto is specified, we compile bitcode files and pass it to the
MSVC linker, stripping all bitcode files. We haven't stripped archive
files, because I was thinking that the MSVC linker wouldn't touch files
in archive files. When we pass an object file to link.exe, all symbols
have been resolved already, so link.exe shoulnd't need any of the files
in archives.
It turns out that even though link.exe doesn't need to do that, it
seems to try to read each file in all archives. And if there's a non-
COFF file in an archive, it exists with an error message. So we need
to remove archives from the command line too.

Prior to MSVC 2015 we had to manually include this header any
time we were going to include <thread> or <future> due to a
bug in MSVC's STL implementation. This has been fixed in MSVC
for some time now, and we require VS 2015 minimum, so we can
remove this across all subprojects.

LLD is a multi-threaded program. errs() or outs() are not guaranteed
to be thread-safe (they are actually not).
LLD's message(), log() or error() are thread-safe. We should use them.
llvm-svn: 295787
Behavior races on ErrorCount. If the enqueued paths are evaluated
eagerly (in enqueuePath) then the behavior is as the test expects. But
they may not be evaluated until the future is waited on, in run() -
which is after the early return/exit on ErrorCount. (this causes the
test to fail (because in the "/ERRORCOUNT:XYZ" test, no other errors
are printed), at least for me, on linux)
This reverts commit r295507.

Summary: This adds support for reporting multiple errors in a single invocation of lld-link. The limit defaults to 20 and can be changed with the /ERRORLIMIT command line parameter, or set to unlimited by passing a value of 0.

This patch defines a new command line option, /MSVCLTO, to LLD.
If that option is given, LLD invokes link.exe to link LTO-generated
object files. This is hacky but useful because link.exe can create
PDB files.

This is how we use TarWriter in LLD. Now LLD does not append
a file extension, so you need to pass `--reproduce foo.tar`
instead of `--reproduce foo`.

I thought for a while about how to remove it, but it looks like we
can just copy the file for now. Of course I'm not happy about that,
but it's just less than 50 lines of code, and we already have
duplicate code in Error.h and some other places. I want to solve
them all at once later.

File system operations were still dominating the profile on Windows. In this
case we were spending a significant amount of our time repeatedly searching
for libraries as a result of processing linker directives. Address this
by caching whether we have already found a library with a given name. For
chrome_child.dll:
Before: 10.53s
After: 6.88s
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D27840
llvm-svn: 289915
Profiling revealed that the majority of lld's execution time on Windows was
spent opening and mapping input files. We can reduce this cost significantly
by performing these operations asynchronously.
This change introduces a queue for all operations on input file data. When
we discover that we need to load a file (for example, when we find a lazy
archive for an undefined symbol, or when we read a linker directive to
load a file from disk), the file operation is launched using a future and
the symbol resolution operation is enqueued. This implies another change
to symbol resolution semantics, but it seems to be harmless ("ninja All"
in Chromium still succeeds).
To measure the perf impact of this change I linked Chromium's chrome_child.dll
with both thin and fat archives.
Thin archives:
Before (median of 5 runs): 19.50s
After: 10.93s
Fat archives:
Before: 12.00s
After: 9.90s
On Linux I found that doing this asynchronously had a negative effect on
performance, probably because the cost of mapping a file is small enough that
it becomes outweighed by the cost of managing the futures. So on non-Windows
platforms I use the deferred execution strategy.

This patch replaces the symbol table's object and archive queues, as well as
the convergent loop in the linker driver, with a design more similar to the
ELF linker where symbol resolution directly causes input files to be added to
the link, including input files arising from linker directives. Effectively
this removes the last vestiges of the old parallel input file loader.

The former option bases the filename on the output name, e.g. if the
link output is a.exe, the map will be written to a.map. This matches the
behaviour of link.exe's /MAP option and is useful for creating a map
file of each executable when building a large project.

Previously, we had different way to stringize SymbolBody and InputFile
to construct error messages. This patch defines overloaded function
toString() so that we don't need to memorize all these different
function names.
With that change, it is now easy to include demangled names in error
messages. Now, if there is a symbol name conflict, we'll print out
both mangled and demangled names.

Previously, we discarded .debug$ sections. This patch adds them to

This patch also adds a debug option, /dumppdb, to dump debug info

The IMAGE_FILE_HEADER structure contains a (RVA, size) to an array of
COFF_DEBUG_DIRECTORY records. Each one of these records contains an RVA to a OMF
Debug Directory. These OMF debug directories are derived into newer types such
as PDB70, PDB20, etc. This constructs a PDB70 structure which will allow us to
associate a GUID with a build to actually tie debug information.
llvm-svn: 280012
Add the support infrastructure for the /debugtype option which takes a comma
delimited list of debug info to generate. The defaults are based on other
options potentially (/driver or /profile). This sets up the infrastructure to
allow us to emit RSDS records to get "build id" equivalents on COFF (similar to
binutils).

This flag is implemented similarly to --reproduce in the ELF linker.
This patch implements /linkrepro by moving the cpio writer and associated
utility functions to lldCore, and using that implementation in both linkers.
One COFF-specific detail is that we store the object file from which the
resource files were created in our reproducer, rather than the resource
files themselves. This allows the reproducer to be used on non-Windows
systems for example.

Manifest file is a separate or embedded XML file having metadata
of an executable. As it is XML, it can contain various types of
information. Probably the most popular one is to request escalated
priviledges.
Usually the linker creates an XML file and embed that file into
an executable. However, there's a way to supply an XML file from
command line. /manifestniput is it.
Apparently it is over-designed here, but if you supply two or more
manifest files, then the linker needs to merge the files into a
single XML file. A good news is that we don't need to do that ourselves.
MT.exe command can do that, so we call the command from the linker
in this patch.
llvm-svn: 266704
This flag disables link.exe's crash handler so that normal windows error
reporting and crash dumping occurs. For now it is reasonable for LLD to
ignore the flag.
Chromium is currently using this flag to collect minidumps of link.exe
crashing, and it breaks the LLD build.
