continue. This allows the linker to print timing data and summary data
after linking, which can be helpful for finding PDB size problems. Also
report how large the file would have been.

lld-link: error: Output data is larger than 4 GiB. File size would have been 6,937,108,480
lld-link: error: failed to write PDB file ./chrome.dll.pdb

The MinGW driver passed a hardcoded true to this parameter
since 6f4e255219, but when the MinGW driver got the
canExitEarly parameter for consistency in b11386f9be, this

That way, it's done only once instead of every time shouldExportSymbol() is
called.

The main motivation for this refactor is to remove the subclass

SyntenticMergedInputSegment so that we can use the merging classes for
debug sections which are not data segments.
In the process of refactoring I also remove all the virtual functions

Besides -Bdynamic and -Bstatic, ld documents additional aliases for both of these options. Instead of -Bstatic, one may write -dn, -non_shared or -static. Instead of -Bdynamic one may write -dy or -call_shared. Source: https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.36/ld/Options.html
This patch adds those aliases to the MinGW driver of lld for the sake of ld compatibility.
Encountered this case while compiling a static Qt 6.1 distribution and got build failures as -static was passed directly to the linker, instead of through the compiler driver.

D62727 removed GotEntrySize and GotPltEntrySize with a comment that they
are always equal to wordsize(), but that is not entirely true: X32 has a

LLD already produces a nice error message when sections exceed 4GB, and
this setRVA assertion causes LLD to crash instead of diagnosing the
error properly.
No test because we don't want slow tests that create 4GB files.
This fixes a bug with string merging with string symbols that contain
NULLs, as is the case in the `merge-string.s` test.
The bug only showed when we run with `--relocatable` and then try read
the resulting object back in. In this case we would end up with string
symbols that extend past the end of the segment in which they live.
The problem comes from the fact that sections which are flagged as
string mergable assume that all strings are NULL terminated. The
merging algorithm will drop trailing chars that follow a NULL since they
are essentially unreachable. However, the "size" attribute (in the
symbol table) of such a truncated symbol is not updated resulting a
symbol size that can overlap the end of the segment.
I verified that this can happen in ELF too given the right conditions
and the its harmless enough. In practice Strings that contain embedded
null should not be part of a mergable section.

Extend the range of calls beyond an architecture's limited branch range by first calling a thunk, which loads the far address into a scratch register (x16 on ARM64) and branches through it.
Other ports (COFF, ELF) use multiple passes with successively-refined guesses regarding the expansion of text-space imposed by thunk-space overhead. This MachO algorithm places thunks during MergedOutputSection::finalize() in a single pass using exact thunk-space overheads. Thunks are kept in a separate vector to avoid the overhead of inserting into the `inputs` vector of `MergedOutputSection`.
FIXME:
* arm64-stubs.s test is broken
* add thunk tests
* Handle thunks to DylibSymbol in MergedOutputSection::finalize()

Don't include the relocation addend when calculating the

We have this extra step in wasm-ld that doesn't exist in other lld
backend which verifies the existing contents of the relocation targets.
This was originally intended as an extra form of double checking and an
aid to compiler developers. However it has always been somewhat
controversial and there have been suggestions in the past the we simply
remove it.
My motivation for removing it now is that its causing me a headache
when trying to fix an issue with negative addends. In the case of
negative addends that final result can be wrapped/negative but this
checking code would require significant modification to be able to deal
with that case. For example with some test cases I'm looking at I'm
seeing error like this:
```
wasm-ld: warning: /usr/local/google/home/sbc/dev/wasm/llvm-build/tools/lld/test/wasm/Output/merge-string.s.tmp.o:(.rodata_relocs): unexpected existing value for R_WASM_MEMORY_ADDR_I32: existing=FFFFFFFA expected=FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFA
```
Rather than try to refactor `calcExpectedValue` to somehow return two
different types of results (32 and 64-bit) depending on the relocation
type, I think we can just remove this code.

Currently, when reporting unresolved symbols in shared libraries, if an
undefined symbol is firstly seen in a regular object file that shadows
the reference for the same symbol in a shared object. As a result, the
error for the unresolved symbol in the shared library is not reported.
If referencing sections in regular object files are discarded because of
'--gc-sections', no reports about such symbols are generated, and the
linker finishes successfully, generating an output image that fails on
the run.
The patch fixes the issue by keeping symbols, which should be checked,
for each shared library separately.

- Always do full tail merging ("lo" can be merged with "hello")
- Only support single byte strings (p2align 0)
Like the ELF linker merging is only performed at `-O1` and above.
