This case should be possible to handle, but it is hard:
* In order to create program headers correctly, we have to scan the
sections in the order they are in the file.
* To find that order, we have to "execute" the linker script.
* The linker script can contain SIZEOF_HEADERS.
So to support this we have to start with a guess of how many headers
we need (3), run the linker script and try to create the program
headers. If it turns out we need more headers, we run the script again
with a larger SIZEOF_HEADERS.
Also, running the linker script depends on knowing the size of the
sections, so we have to finalize them. But creating the program
headers can change the value stored in some sections, so we have to
split size finalization and content finalization.
Looks like the last part is also needed for range extension thunks, so
we might support this at some point. For now just report an error
instead of producing broken files.

Unfortunately, the common way of writing linker scripts seems to be
to get the output of ld.bfd --verbose and edit it a bit.
Also unfortunately, the bfd default script contains things like
.rela.dyn : { *(... .rela.data ...) }
but bfd actually ignores that for -emit-relocs, so we have to do the
same.

The linker script lexer is context-sensitive. In the regular context,
arithmetic operator characters are regular characters, but in the
expression context, they are independent tokens. This afects how the
lexer tokenizes "3*4", for example. (This kind of expression is real;
the Linux kernel uses it.)
This patch defines function `maybeSplitExpr`. This function splits the
current token into multiple expression tokens if the lexer is in the
expression context.

After Mark's patch I was wondering what was the rationale for the ELF
spec requiring us to merge only sections with matching flags and

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/generic-abi, but looks like my
emails are not being posted (the list is probably moderated). I
emailed Cary Coutant instead.
Cary pointed out that the section was a late addition and didn't got
the scrutiny it deserved. Given that and the problems found by
implementing the letter of the standard, I propose changing lld to
merge all sections with the same name and issue errors if the types or
some critical flags are different.
This should allow an unmodified firefox linked with lld to run.
This also merges some code with the linkerscript path.

It was revealed by D27831.
If we have linkerscript that includes another one that sets OUTPUT for example:
RUN: echo "INCLUDE \"foo.script\"" > %t.script
RUN: echo "OUTPUT(\"%t.out\")" > %T/foo.script
then we do:
void ScriptParser::readInclude() {
...
std::unique_ptr<MemoryBuffer> &MB = *MBOrErr;
tokenize(MB->getMemBufferRef());
OwningMBs.push_back(std::move(MB));
}
void ScriptParser::readOutput() {
...
Config->OutputFile = unquote(Tok);

Problem is that OwningMBs are destroyed after script parser do its job.
So all Toks are dead and Config->OutputFile points to destroyed data.

This handles all the corner cases if setting a section address:

If the linker script has SECTIONS, the address computation is now
always done in LinkerScript::assignAddresses, like for any other

Before fixHeaders would do a tentative computation that
assignAddresses would sometimes override.
This patch also splits the cases where assignAddresses needs to add
the headers to the first PT_LOAD and the address computation. The net
effect is that we no longer create an empty page for no reason in the

Previously, we set (uintptr_t)-1 to InputSectionBase::OutSec to record

We parse linker scripts very early, but whether an expression is

Instead of storing a pointer, store the members we need.
The reason for doing this is that it makes it far easier to create

There are obvious compacting opportunities, but this already has mixed
results even on native x86_64 linking.

Previously, we supported only SHF_COMPRESSED sections because it's

Sections compressed in the GNU style start with ".zdebug_" and
contain different headers than the ELF standard's one. In this
patch, getRawCompressedData is responsible to handle it.
A tricky thing about GNU-style compressed sections is that we have
to rename them when creating output sections. ".zdebug_" prefix

".debug" because our output sections are not compressed.
