This is PR34826.
Currently LLD is unable to report line number when reporting
duplicate declaration of some variable.
That happens because for extracting line information we always use
.debug_line section content which describes mapping from machine
instructions to source file locations, what does not help for
variables as does not describe them.
In this patch I am taking the approproate information about
variables locations from the .debug_info section.

Summary:
The COFF linker and the ELF linker have long had similar but separate
Error.h and Error.cpp files to implement error handling. This change
introduces new error handling code in Common/ErrorHandler.h, changes the
COFF and ELF linkers to use it, and removes the old, separate
implementations.

Reviewing another change I noticed that we use "getSymbols" to mean
different things in different files. Depending on the file it can
return
ArrayRef<StringRef>
ArrayRef<SymbolBody*>

With this change it always returns an ArrayRef<SymbolBody*>. The other

Note that we cannot return ArrayRef<Symbol*> instead of
ArreyRef<SymbolBody*> because local symbols have a SymbolBody but not
a Symbol.

The ELF standard defines that the SHT_GROUP section as follows:
- its sh_link has the symbol index, and
- the symbol name is used to uniquify section groups.
Object files created by GNU gold does not seem to comply with the
standard. They have this additional rule:
- if the symbol has no name and a STT_SECTION symbol, a section
name is used instead of a symbol name.
If we don't do anything for this, the linker fails with a mysterious
error message if input files are generated by gas. It is unfortunate
but I think we need to support it.

Previously, all input files were owned by the symbol table.

All input files were then free'd when the symbol table is freed
which is on program exit.
I think we don't have to transfer ownership just to free all
instance at once on exit.
In this patch, all instances are automatically collected to a

This patch implements a new design for the symbol table that stores
SymbolBodies within a memory region of the Symbol object. Symbols are mutated
by constructing SymbolBodies in place over existing SymbolBodies, rather
than by mutating pointers. As mentioned in the initial proposal [1], this
memory layout helps reduce the cache miss rate by improving memory locality.
Performance numbers:
old(s) new(s)
Without debug info:
chrome 7.178 6.432 (-11.5%)
LLVMgold.so 0.505 0.502 (-0.5%)
clang 0.954 0.827 (-15.4%)
llvm-as 0.052 0.045 (-15.5%)
With debug info:
scylla 5.695 5.613 (-1.5%)
clang 14.396 14.143 (-1.8%)
Performance counter results show that the fewer required indirections is
indeed the cause of the improved performance. For example, when linking
chrome, stalled cycles decreases from 14,556,444,002 to 12,959,238,310, and
instructions per cycle increases from 0.78 to 0.83. We are also executing
many fewer instructions (15,516,401,933 down to 15,002,434,310), probably
because we spend less time allocating SymbolBodies.
The new mechanism by which symbols are added to the symbol table is by calling
add* functions on the SymbolTable.
In this patch, I handle local symbols by storing them inside "unparented"
SymbolBodies. This is suboptimal, but if we do want to try to avoid allocating
these SymbolBodies, we can probably do that separately.
I also removed a few members from the SymbolBody class that were only being
used to pass information from the input file to the symbol table.
This patch implements the new design for the ELF linker only. I intend to
prepare a similar patch for the COFF linker.

Using multiple context used to be a really big memory saving because we
could free memory from each file while the linker proceeded with the
symbol resolution. We are getting lazier about reading data from the
bitcode, so I was curious if this was still a good tradeoff.
One thing that is a bit annoying is that we still have to copy the
symbol names. The problem is that the names are stored in the Module and
get freed when we move the module bits during linking.
Long term I think the solution is to add a symbol table to the bitcode.
That way IRObject file will not need to use a Module or a Context and we
can drop it while still keeping a StringRef to the names.
This patch is still be an interesting medium term improvement.

start-lib and end-lib are options to link object files in the same
semantics as archive files. If an object is in start-lib and end-lib,
the object is linked only when the file is needed to resolve
undefined symbols. That means, if an object is in start-lib and end-lib,
it behaves as if it were in an archive file.
In this patch, I introduced a new notion, LazyObjectFile. That is
analogous to Archive file type, but that works for a single object

Our symbol representation was redundant, and some times would get out of
sync. It had an Elf_Sym, but some fields were copied to SymbolBody.
Different parts of the code were checking the bits in SymbolBody and
others were checking Elf_Sym.
There are two general approaches to fix this:
* Copy the required information and don't store and Elf_Sym.
* Don't copy the information and always use the Elf_Smy.
The second way sounds tempting, but has a big problem: we would have to
template SymbolBody. I started doing it, but it requires templeting
*everything* and creates a bit chicken and egg problem at the driver
where we have to find ELFT before we can create an ArchiveFile for
example.
As much as possible I compared the test differences with what gold and
bfd produce to make sure they are still valid. In most cases we are just
adding hidden visibility to a local symbol, which is harmless.
In most tests this is a small speedup. The only slowdown was scylla
(1.006X). The largest speedup was clang with no --build-id, -O3 or
--gc-sections (i.e.: focus on the relocations): 1.019X.

Unlike ObjectFile or ArchiveFile, SharedFile had two parse functions,
parseSoName() and parse(). parse must have been called after parseSoName,
but that requirement was not obvious from their names. (So it looked

Previously, we handle archive files with --whole-archive this way:
create instances of ArchiveFile, call getMembers to obtain memory

We didn't call anything except getMembers if --whole-archive was

I noticed that we didn't actually have to create ArchiveFile instaces
at all for that case. All we need is to get a list of memory buffers

GP - Represents the final gp value, i.e. _gp symbol
GP0 - Represents the gp value used to create the relocatable object
```
The GP0 value is taken from the .reginfo data section defined by an object

`ObjectFile::getMipsGp0` method to return the GP0 value.

Section garbage collection is a feature to remove unused sections
from outputs. Unused sections are sections that cannot be reachable
from known GC-root symbols or sections. Naturally the feature is
implemented as a mark-sweep garbage collector.
In this patch, I added Live bit to InputSectionBase. If and only
if Live bit is on, the section will be written to the output.
Starting from GC-root symbols or sections, a new function, markLive(),
visits all reachable sections and sets their Live bits. Writer then
ignores sections whose Live bit is off, so that such sections are
excluded from the output.
This change has small negative impact on performance if you use
the feature because making sections means more work. The time to
link Clang changes from 0.356s to 0.386s, or +8%.
It reduces Clang size from 57,764,984 bytes to 55,296,600 bytes.
