We used to support both Windows and Unix style command line options. In Windows
style, an option and its value are separated by ":" (colon). In Unix, separator
is a space. Accepting both styles were convenient, but we can no longer allow
Unix style because I found that can be ambiguous.
For example, /nodefaultlib option takes an optional argument. In Windows style
it's going to be something like "/nodefaultlib:foo". There's no ambiguity what
"foo" means. However, if the option is "/nodefaultlib foo", "foo" can be
interpreted either an optional argument for "/nodefaultlib" or an input file
"foo.obj". We should just stop accepting the non-standard command line style.

These options are to enable DLL delay loading. If enabled, DLL is loaded
at run time by a helper routine when a function in the DLL is actually called
for the first time, instead of making the Windows loader to load all DLLs at
startup time. This should shorten startup delay if an executable have many
imported symbols.
The linker needs to create a "delayed import table" and link delayimp.lib in
which helper functions are defined to support the feature.
For now, we just ignore the options, so that the linker does not complain when
it sees these options. We want to support them in the future.

This adds an option --output-filetype that can be set to either
YAML/Native(case insensitive). The linker would create the outputs
associated with the type specified by the user.
Changes all the tests to use the new option.

/incremental is an option to enable incremental linking. We will eventually
want to implement the feature for better performance, but in the meantime,
we want to just ignore the option so that the linker does not output unknown
option error when it sees /incremental option.
llvm-svn: 191063
/errorReport is a command line option to let the linker to report internal
linker error information to Microsoft. For LLD that option doesn't make any
sense, so it just ignores the option.

So that we can determine what the target architecture is. Adding this
field does not mean that we are going to support non-i386 architectures
soon; there are many things to do to support them, and I'm focusing on
i386 now. But this is the first step toward multi architecture support.

attribute in LinkerInput to isWholeArchive and use that for deciding
whether library archives should be expanded. Implement the -all_load
option of the Darwin linker using this flag and drop the support for it
in GNU mode.
llvm-svn: 190275
This changes the interface of createLinkerInput to use ErrorOr, so that
errors from the linker can be captured.
Also adds a convenience function for error strings to be returned from
file nodes.

This adds an API to the LinkingContext for flavors to add Internal files
containing atoms that need to appear in the YAML output as well, when -emit-yaml
switch is used.
Flavors can add more internal files for other options that are needed.

With this patch the entry symbol is treated as an undefined symbol, to force
the resolver to resolve the entry symbol.

This used to be handled automagically by the option parsing library,
but after LLVM r188314, we should handle it ourselves.
No functionality change, but adds a test.
llvm-svn: 188318
Also change some local variable names: "ti" -> "context" and
"_targetInfo" -> "_context".

This reverts commit r187390 because we should not handle argv's quotes ourselves.
In Windows, unlike Unix, quotes are not processed by the shell. Instead the C
startup routine parses it as described in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a1y7w461.aspx and pass the results to
main(). So, at the time when the control reaches main(), quotes that should be
removed has already been removed.
We still need to handle quotes in the response file and in .drectve section
ourselves. That will be addressed in different patches.
llvm-svn: 187534
Missing files will be reported as errors in the later pass, so this patch
does not change the behavior of the LLD linker, but it helps writing unit
tests for the driver.
llvm-svn: 187256
The /include command line option is equivalent to Unix --undefined
option, which forces the linker to resolve the given symbol name
as if it's an unresolved symbol in one of its input files. This feature
is used to link an additional object file or a shared library that no
input files refer to.
