Previously we emitted 20-byte SHA1 hashes. This is overkill
for identifying debug info records, and has the negative side
effect of making object files bigger and links slower. By
using only the last 8 bytes of a SHA1, we get smaller object
files and ~10% faster links.
This modifies the format of the .debug$H section by adding a new
value for the hash algorithm field, so that the linker will still
work when its object files have an old format.

Natvis is a debug language supported by Visual Studio for
specifying custom visualizers. The /NATVIS option is an
undocumented link.exe flag which will take a .natvis file
and "inject" it into the PDB. This way, you can ship the
debug visualizers for a program along with the PDB, which
is very useful for postmortem debugging.
This is implemented by adding a new "named stream" to the
PDB with a special name of /src/files/<natvis file name>
and simply copying the contents of the xml into this file.
Additionally, we need to emit a single stream named
/src/headerblock which contains a hash table of embedded
files to records describing them.
This patch adds this functionality, including the /NATVIS
option to lld-link.

These tests started failing because we now properly convert
DefRange records to and from Yaml, but there were some old yaml
files that had incorrect record definitions generated by the
old buggy obj2yaml. Rather than try to re-generate the yaml files,
it's easier to just remove the records, and they weren't necessary
for the proper execution of the test anyway.
llvm-svn: 322040
The problem was that our Obj -> Yaml dumper had not been taught
to handle certain types of records. This meant that when I
generated the test input files, the records were still there but
none of its fields were filled out. So when it did the

with garbage in them.
The patch here fixes the Obj <-> Yaml converter, and additionally
updates the test file with fresh Yaml generated by the fixed

This is not a record type that clang currently generates,
but it is a record that is encountered in object files generated
by cl. This record is unusual in that it refers directly to
the string table instead of indirectly to the string table via
the FileChecksums table. Because of this, it was previously
overlooked and we weren't remapping the string indices at all.
This would lead to crashes in MSVC when trying to display a

A couple of things were different about our generated PDBs.
1) We were outputting the wrong Version on the PDB Stream.
The version we were setting was newer than what MSVC is setting.
It's not clear what the implications are, but we change LLD
to use PdbImplVC70, as MSVC does.
2) For the optional debug stream indices in the DBI Stream, we
were outputting 0 to mean "the stream is not present". MSVC
outputs uint16_t(-1), which is the "correct" way to specify
that a stream is not present. So we fix that as well.
3) We were setting the PDB Stream signature to 0. This is supposed
to be the result of calling time(nullptr). Although this leads
to non-deterministic builds, a better way to solve that is by
having a command line option explicitly for generating a
reproducible build, and have the default behavior of lld-link
match the default behavior of link.
To test this, I'm making use of the new and improved `pdb diff`
sub command. To make it suitable for writing tests against, I had
to modify the diff subcommand slightly to print less verbose output.
Previously it would always print | <column> | <value1> | <value2> |
which is quite verbose, and the values are fragile. All we really
want to know is "did we produce the same value as link?" So I added
command line options to print a single character representing the
result status (different, identical, equivalent), and another to
hide the value display. Note that just inspecting the diff output
used to write the test, you can see some things that are obviously
wrong. That is just reflective of the fact that this is the state
of affairs today, not that we're asserting that this is "correct".
We can use this as a starting point to discover differences, fix
them, and update the test.

Summary:
In order to do this without switching on the symbol kind multiple times,
I created Defined::getChunkAndOffset and use that instead of
SymbolBody::getRVA in the inner relocation loop.
Now we get the symbol's chunk before switching over relocation types, so
we can test if it has been discarded outside the inner relocation type
switch. This also simplifies application of section relative
relocations. Previously we would switch on symbol kind to compute the
RVA, then the relocation type, and then the symbol kind again to get the
output section so we could subtract that from the symbol RVA. Now we
*always* have an OutputSection, so applying SECREL and SECTION
relocations isn't as much of a special case.
I'm still not quite happy with the cleanliness of this code. I'm not
sure what offsets and bases we should be using during the relocation
processing loop: VA, RVA, or OutputSectionOffset.

This is a different implementation than r303225 (which was reverted
in r303270, re-submitted in r303304 and then re-reverted in r303527).
In the previous patch, I tried to add Live bit to each dllimported
symbol. It turned out that it didn't work with "oldnames.lib" which
contains a lot of weak aliases to dllimported symbols.
The way we handle weak aliases is to check if undefined symbols
can be resolved using weak aliases, and if so, memcpy the Defined
symbols to weak Undefined symbols, so that any references to weak
aliases automatically see defined symbols instead of undefined ones.
This memcpy happens before MarkLive kicks in.
That means we may have multiple copies of dllimported symbols. So
turning on one instance's Live bit is not enough.
This patch moves the Live bit to dllimport file. Since multiple
copies of dllsymbols still point to the same file, we can use it as the
central repository to keep track of liveness.

Manifest file is a separate or embedded XML file having metadata
of an executable. As it is XML, it can contain various types of

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

An object file compatible with Safe SEH contains a .sxdata section.
The section contains a list of symbol table indices, each of which
is an exception handler function. A safe SEH-enabled executable
contains a list of exception handler RVAs. So, what the linker has
to do to support Safe SEH is basically to read the .sxdata section,
interpret the contents as a list of symbol indices, unique-fy and
sort their RVAs, and then emit that list to .rdata. This patch

Previously, we infer machine type at the very end of linking after
all symbols are resolved. That's actually too late because machine
type affects how we mangle symbols (whether or not we need to
add "_").
For example, /entry:foo adds "_foo" to the symbol table if x86 but
"foo" if x64.
This patch moves the code to infer machine type, so that machine
type is inferred based on input files given via the command line
(but not based on .directives files).

We were previously hitting assertion failures in the writer in cases where
a regular object file defined a weak external symbol that was defined by

The underlying cause of the problem was that weak external symbols were
being resolved before doing LTO, so the symbol table may have contained stale
references to bitcode symbols. The fix here is to defer weak external symbol
resolution until after LTO.
Also implement support for weak external symbols in bitcode files

Usually dllexported symbols are defined with 'extern "C"',
so identifying them is easy. We can just do hash table lookup
to look up exported symbols.
However, C++ non-member functions are also allowed to be exported,
and they can be specified with unmangled name. So, if /export:foo
is given, we need to look up not only "foo" but also its all
mangled names. In MSVC mangling scheme, that means that we need to
look up any symbol which starts with "?foo@@Y".
In this patch, we scan the entire symbol table to search for
a mangled symbol. The symbol table is a DenseMap, and that doesn't
support table lookup by string prefix. This is of course very
inefficient. But that should be probably OK because the user
should always add 'extern "C"' to dllexported symbols.

When comparing two COMDAT sections, we need to take section values
and associative sections into account. This patch fixes that bug.
It fixes a crash bug of llvm-tblgen when linked with /opt:lldicf.
One thing I don't understand yet is that this logic seems to be
too strict. MSVC linker is able to create more compact executables
(which of course work correctly). With this ICF algorithm, LLD is
able to make executable smaller, but the outputs are larger than
MSVC's. There must be something I'm missing here.
llvm-svn: 240897
Identical COMDAT Folding (ICF) is an optimization to reduce binary
size by merging COMDAT sections that contain the same metadata,
actual data and relocations. MSVC link.exe and many other linkers
have this feature. LLD achieves on per with MSVC in terms produced
binary size with this patch.
This technique is pretty effective. For example, LLD's size is
reduced from 64MB to 54MB by enaling this optimization.
The algorithm implemented in this patch is extremely inefficient.
It puts all COMDAT sections into a set to identify duplicates.
Time to self-link with/without ICF are 3.3 and 320 seconds,
respectively. So this option roughly makes LLD 100x slower.
But it's okay as I wanted to achieve correctness first.
LLD is still able to link itself with this optimization.
I'm going to make it more efficient in followup patches.
Note that this optimization is *not* entirely safe. C/C++ require
different functions have different addresses. If your program
relies on that property, your program wouldn't work with ICF.
However, it's not going to be an issue on Windows because MSVC
link.exe turns ICF on by default. As long as your program works
with default settings (or not passing /opt:noicf), your program
would work with LLD too.

This is a case that one mistake caused a very mysterious bug.
I made a mistake to calculate addresses of common symbols, so
each common symbol pointed not to the beginning of its location
but to the end of its location. (Ouch!)
Common symbols are aligned on 16 byte boundaries. If a common
symbol is small enough to fit between the end of its real
location and whatever comes next, this bug didn't cause any harm.
However, if a common symbol is larger than that, its memory
naturally overlapped with other symbols. That means some
uninitialized variables accidentally shared memory. Because
totally unrelated memory writes mutated other varaibles, it was
hard to debug.
It's surprising that LLD was able to link itself and all LLD
tests except gunit tests passed with this nasty bug.
With this fix, the new COFF linker is able to pass all tests
for LLVM, Clang and LLD if I use MSVC cl.exe as a compiler.
Only three tests are failing when used with clang-cl.

In this linker model, adding an undefined symbol may trigger chain
reactions. It may trigger a Lazy symbol to read a new file.
A new file may contain a directive section, which may contain various
command line options.
Previously, we didn't handle chain reactions well. We visited /include'd
symbols only once, so newly-added /include symbols were ignored.
This patch fixes that bug.
Now, the symbol table is versioned; every time the symbol table is
updated, the version number is incremented. We repeat adding undefined
symbols until the version number does not change. It is guaranteed to
converge -- the number of undefined symbol in the system is finite,
and adding the same undefined symbol more than once is basically no-op.

On Windows, we have to create a .lib file for each .dll.
When linking against DLLs, the linker doesn't use the DLL files,
but instead read a list of dllexported symbols from corresponding
lib files.
A library file containing descriptors of a DLL is called an
import library file.
lib.exe has a feature to create an import library file from a
module-definition file. In this patch, we create a module-definition
file and pass that to lib.exe.
We eventually want to create an import library file by ourselves
to eliminate dependency to lib.exe. For now, we just use the MSVC
tool.

DLL files are in the same format as executables but they have export tables.
The format of the export table is described in PE/COFF spec section 5.3.
A new class, EdataContents, takes care of creating chunks for export tables.
What we need to do is to parse command line flags for dllexports, and then
instantiate the class to create chunks. For the writer, export table chunks
are opaque data -- it just add chunks to .edata section.

PE/COFF executables/DLLs usually contain data which is called
base relocations. Base relocations are a list of addresses that
need to be fixed by the loader if load-time relocation is needed.
Base relocations are in .reloc section.
We emit one base relocation entry for each IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR64
relocation.
In order to save disk space, base relocations are grouped by page.
Each group is called a block. A block starts with a 32-bit page
address followed by 16-bit offsets in the page. That is more
efficient representation of addresses than just an array of 32-bit
addresses.

Resource files are data files containing i18n messages, icon images, etc.
MSVC has a tool to convert a resource file to a regular COFF file so that
you can just link that file to embed resources to an executable.
However, you can directly pass resource files to the linker. If you do that,
the linker invokes the tool automatically. This patch implements that feature.
llvm-svn: 239704
In the case where either a bitcode file and a regular file or two bitcode
files export a common or comdat symbol with the same name, the linker needs
to pick one of them following COFF semantics. This patch implements a design
for resolving such symbols that pushes most of the work onto either LLD's
regular mechanism for resolving common or comdat symbols or the IR linker's
mechanism for doing the same.
We modify SymbolBody::compare to always prefer non-bitcode symbols, so that
during the initial phase of symbol resolution, the symbol table always contains
a regular symbol in any case where we need to choose between a regular and
a bitcode symbol. In SymbolTable::addCombinedLTOObject, we force export
any bitcode symbols that were initially pre-empted by a regular symbol,
and later use SymbolBody::compare to choose between the regular symbol in
the symbol table and the regular symbol from the combined LTO object file.
This design seems to be sound, so long as the resolution mechanism is defined
to be commutative and associative modulo arbitrary choices between symbols
(which seems to be the case for COFF).

The code generator may create references to runtime library symbols such as
__chkstk which were not visible via LTOModule. Handle these cases by loading
the object file from the library, but abort if we end up having loaded any
bitcode objects.
Because loading the object file may have introduced new undefined references,
call reportRemainingUndefines again to detect and report them.

Symbols exported by DLLs can be imported not by name but by
small number or ordinal. Usually, symbols have both ordinals
and names, and in that case ordinals are called "hints" and
used by the loader as hints.
However, symbols can have only ordinals. They are called
import-by-ordinal symbols. You need to manage ordinals by hand
so that they will never change if you choose to use the feature.
But it's supposed to make dynamic linking faster because
it needs no string comparison. Not sure if that claim still
stands in year 2015, though. Anyways, the feature exists,
and this patch implements that.
