Usually, options that are longer than one character can be preceded
either by "-" or "--", but options starting with "o" are exceptions
because they conflict with "-o" option. They have to be preceded by
"--".

GCC passes it by default on powerpc64 on FreeBSD. GNU ld claims "this
option is ignored for SVR4 compatibility", so we can ignore it too.

This flag is supported by both BFD ld and gold and is occasionally
used to negate the effect of -gc-sections flag.

FreeBSD's libstdc++ build (used on tier-2 architectures) uses GNU ld's
-f <name> option, which sets the DT_AUXILIARY field to the specified name.
Multiple -f options may be specified and the DT_AUXILIARY entries
will be added in the order in which they appear.
Patch implements that option.

`-oformat' option can be used to specify the binary format for the output object file.

In general, we accept both -foo and --foo as command line options,
but if an option is a single letter option, we don't want to allow
double dashes because GNU linkers don't accept such combination.

Option has next description (http://linux.die.net/man/1/ld):
"--unresolved-symbols=method
Determine how to handle unresolved symbols. There are four possible values for method
according to documentation:
ignore-all: Do not report any unresolved symbols.
report-all: Report all unresolved symbols. This is the default.
ignore-in-object-files: Report unresolved symbols that are contained in shared libraries, but ignore them if they come from regular object files.
ignore-in-shared-libs: Report unresolved symbols that come from regular object files, but ignore them if they come from shared libraries."
Since report-all is default and we traditionally do not report about undefined symbols in lld,
report-all does not report about undefines from DSO.
ignore-in-object-files also does not do that. Handling of that option differs from what gnu linkers do.
Option works in next way in lld:
ignore-all: Do not report any unresolved symbols.
report-all: Report all unresolved symbols except symbols from DSOs. This is the default.
ignore-in-object-files: The same as ignore-all.
gnore-in-shared-libs: The same as report-all.
This is PR24524.

Option checks for cases where a version script explicitly lists
a symbol, but the symbol is not defined and errors out such
cases if any.

Patch by Shridhar Joshi.
This option provides names of all the link time modules which define and
reference symbols requested by user. This helps to speed up application
development by detecting references causing undefined symbols.
It also helps in detecting symbols being resolved to wrong (unintended)
definitions in case of applications containing multiple definitions for
same symbols with different types, bindings.
Implements PR28226.

This is a follow-up patch to r273218. GNU ld accepts both "--" and "-"
for all multi-letter options except "-o". This patch makes lld compatible
with that behavior.

GNU ld's manual page says that all options whose names are
multiple letters, except those who start with "o", can start
either with one or two dashes.

We would previously accept `--threads=4`, but this option just turns on
threading and does not specify a number of threads.
I ran into this by accident because I was passing `--threads=<n>` but
the number didn't seem to affect anything.

--reproduce dumps the object files in a directory chosen
(preserving the file system layout) and the linker invocation
so that people can create an archive and upload for debugging.

This patch is to remove -lto-no-discard-value-names flag and

This patch only implements support for version scripts of the form:
{ [ global: symbol1; symbol2; [...]; symbolN; ] local: *; };
No wildcards are supported, other than for the local entry. Symbol versioning
is also not supported.
It works by introducing a new Symbol flag which tracks whether a symbol
appears in the global section of a version script.
This patch also simplifies the logic in SymbolBody::isPreemptible(), and
teaches it to handle the case where symbols with default visibility in DSOs
do not appear in the dynamic symbol table because of a version script.
Fixes PR27482.

GNU ld and gold only support the discard-all and discard-locals with two dashes.
Retain the compatibility with the one dash spelling, but also accept the two
dashed form.
llvm-svn: 267032
`--add-needed` and `--no-add-needed` have been deprecated due to the similarity
of their spelling to `--as-needed` and `--no-as-needed`. They have been renamed
to `--copy-dt-needed-entries` and `--no-copy-dt-needed-entries`.

Rafael reported on the mailing list that this reduces peak memory
usage while linking llvm-as by 15%. It makes sense to make it
the default, and introduce an inverse knob -lto-no-discard-value-names
for those who want to restore the old behavior.

Parallelism level can be chosen using the new --lto-jobs=K option
where K is the number of threads used for CodeGen. It currently
defaults to 1.

This patch implements the --dynamic-list option, which adds a list of
global symbol that either should not be bounded by default definition
when creating shared libraries, or add in dynamic symbol table in the
case of creating executables.
The patch modifies the ScriptParserBase class to use a list of Token
instead of StringRef, which contains information if the token is a
quoted or unquoted strings. It is used to use a faster search for
exact match symbol name.
The input file follow a similar format of linker script with some
simplifications (it does not have scope or node names). It leads
to a simplified parser define in DynamicList.{cpp,h}.
Different from ld/gold neither glob pattern nor mangled names
(extern 'C++') are currently supported.
