There are two things in a C++ program that need to read the vtable pointer:
Constructors and destructors. (A few other operations -- virtual calls,
dynamic cast, rtti -- read the vtable pointer off a this pointer, but for
this they don't need the vtable symbol.) Implicit constructors and destructors
and explicit constructors already marked the vtable as used, but explicit
destructors didn't.
Note that the only thing sema's "mark a class's vtable used" does is to mark all
final overriders of the class as referenced, it does _not_ cause emission of
the vtable itself. This is done on demand by codegen, independent of sema,
since sema might emit functions that are not referenced. (The exception are
vtables that are forced via key functions -- these are forced onto codegen
by sema.)
This bug went unnoticed for years because it doesn't have observable effects
(yet -- I want to change this in PR20337, which is why I noticed this).
r213109 made it so that _calls_ to constructors don't mark the vtable used.
Currently, _calls_ to destructors still mark the vtable used. If that
wasn't the case, this program would tickle the problem:
test.h:
template <typename T>
struct B {
int* p;
virtual ~B() { delete p; }
virtual void f() {}
};
struct __attribute__((visibility("default"))) C {
C();
B<int> m;
};
test2.cc:
#include "test.h"
int main() {
C* c = new C;
delete c;
}
test3.cc:
#include "test.h"
C::C() {}
# This bin/clang++ binary doesn't MarkVTableUsed() for virtual dtor calls:
$ bin/clang++ -shared test3.cc -std=c++11 -O2 -fvisibility=hidden \
-fvisibility-inlines-hidden -o libtest3.dylib
$ bin/clang++ test2.cc -std=c++11 -O2 -fvisibility=hidden \
-fvisibility-inlines-hidden libtest3.dylib
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"B<int>::f()", referenced from:
vtable for B<int> in test2-af8f4f.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
What's happening here is that there's a copy of B's vtable hidden in
libtest3.dylib, because C's constructor caused an implicit instantiation of that
(and implicit constructors generate vtables).
test2.cc calls C's destructDr, which destroys the B<int> member,
which wants to overwrite the vtable back to B (think of B as the base of a class
hierarchy, and of hierarchical destruction -- maybe we shouldn't do the vtable
writing in destructors of final classes), but there's nothing in test2.cc that
marks B's vtable used. So codegen writes out the vtable, but since it wasn't
marked used, sema didn't mark all the virtual functions (in particular f())
as used.
Note that this change makes us reject programs we didn't reject before (see
the included Sema test case), but both gcc and cl also reject this code, and
clang used to reject it before r213109.

Templates don't have key functions (cf computeKeyFunction() in
RecordLayoutBuilder.cpp), so don't have something that looks like one.
Also, instead of a vcall to force generation of the vtable, just construct
the object. This is how the repro on PR5557 (what the test is for) worked too.

This fixes compilation errors about incomplete types used with WebKit's
RefPtr template. Simply calling an out of line constructor should not
instantiate all inline and defaulted virtual methods.
Tested by building and testing several big piles of code on Linux.

This makes the C++ ABI depend entirely on the target: MS ABI for -win32 triples,
Itanium otherwise. It's no longer possible to do weird combinations.
To be able to run a test with a specific ABI without constraining it to a
specific triple, new substitutions are added to lit: %itanium_abi_triple and
%ms_abi_triple can be used to get the current target triple adjusted to the
desired ABI. For example, if the test suite is running with the i686-pc-win32
target, %itanium_abi_triple will expand to i686-pc-mingw32.

In preparation for making the Win32 triple imply MS ABI mode,
make all tests pass in this mode, or make them use the Itanium
mode explicitly.

"used" (e.g., we will refer to the vtable in the generated code) and
when they are defined (i.e., because we've seen the key function
definition). Previously, we were effectively tracking "potential
definitions" rather than uses, so we were a bit too eager about emitting
vtables for classes without key functions.
The new scheme:
- For every use of a vtable, Sema calls MarkVTableUsed() to indicate
the use. For example, this occurs when calling a virtual member
function of the class, defining a constructor of that class type,
dynamic_cast'ing from that type to a derived class, casting
to/through a virtual base class, etc.
- For every definition of a vtable, Sema calls MarkVTableUsed() to
indicate the definition. This happens at the end of the translation
unit for classes whose key function has been defined (so we can
delay computation of the key function; see PR6564), and will also
occur with explicit template instantiation definitions.
- For every vtable defined/used, we mark all of the virtual member
functions of that vtable as defined/used, unless we know that the key
function is in another translation unit. This instantiates virtual
member functions when needed.
- At the end of the translation unit, Sema tells CodeGen (via the
ASTConsumer) which vtables must be defined (CodeGen will define
them) and which may be used (for which CodeGen will define the
vtables lazily).
From a language perspective, both the old and the new schemes are
permissible: we're allowed to instantiate virtual member functions
whenever we want per the standard. However, all other C++ compilers
were more lazy than we were, and our eagerness was both a performance
issue (we instantiated too much) and a portability problem (we broke
Boost test cases, which now pass).
Notes:
(1) There's a ton of churn in the tests, because the order in which
vtables get emitted to IR has changed. I've tried to isolate some of
the larger tests from these issues.
(2) Some diagnostics related to
implicitly-instantiated/implicitly-defined virtual member functions
have moved to the point of first use/definition. It's better this
way.
(3) I could use a review of the places where we MarkVTableUsed, to
see if I missed any place where the language effectively requires a
vtable.
Fixes PR7114 and PR6564.

referenced unless we see one of them defined (or the key function
defined, if it as one) or if we need the vtable for something. Fixes
PR7114.

deterministic and work properly with templates. Once a class that
needs a vtable has been defined, we now do one if two things:
- If the class has no key function, we place the class on a list of
classes whose virtual functions will need to be "marked" at the
end of the translation unit. The delay until the end of the
translation unit is needed because we might see template
specializations of these virtual functions.
- If the class has a key function, we do nothing; when the key
function is defined, the class will be placed on the
aforementioned list.
At the end of the translation unit, we "mark" all of the virtual
functions of the classes on the list as used, possibly causing
template instantiation and other classes to be added to the
list. This gets LLVM's lib/Support/CommandLine.cpp compiling again.

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
