private symbols in the __DATA segment internal.
This prevents the linker from removing the symbol names. Keeping the
symbols visible enables tools to collect various information about the
symbols, for example, tools that discover whether or not a symbol gets
dirtied.

The leading 'l' tells ld64 to remove the symbol name, which can make
debugging difficult.

This changes the codegen to match the section names according to the
ObjC rewriter as well as the runtime. The changes to the test are
simply whitespace changes to the section attributes and names and are
functionally equivalent (the whitespace is ignored by the linker).

These are all emitted into a section with a cstring_literal attribute. The
attribute permits the linker to coalesce the string contents. The address of
the strings are not important.
llvm-svn: 281855
These strings are constants, mark them as such. This doesn't matter too much in
practice on MachO since the constants are placed into a special section and not
referred to directly.
llvm-svn: 281854
The current macho linker just copies symbols in section datacoal_nt to
section data, so it doesn't really matter whether or not section
"datacoal_nt" is attached to the global variable.
This is a follow-up to r250370, which made changes in llvm to stop
putting functions and data in the *coal* sections.

This patch changes the remaining GlobalVariables using "\01L" and
"\01l" prefixes to use private linkage. What is strange about them is
that they currently use WeakAnyLinkage. There is no comment stating
why and that is really odd since the symbols are completely hidden, so
it doesn't make sense for them to be weak.
Clang revisions like r63329, r63408, r63770, r65761 set the linkage to
weak, but don't say why. I suspect they were just copying llvm-gcc.
In llvm-gcc I found r58599 and r56322 that set DECL_WEAK, but they
were just syncing from the apple gcc. I am not exactly sure what that
means, since the last commit to
svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/apple was in 2006, 2 years earlier.
In summary, I have no idea why weak linkage was being used :-(
To quote John McCall, "Let’s try without it and see" :-)
llvm-svn: 203059
In llvm the only semantic difference between internal and private is that llvm
tries to hide private globals my mangling them with a private prefix. Since
the globals changed by this patch already had the magic don't mangle marker,
there should be no change in the generated assembly.
A followup patch should then be able to drop the \01L and \01l prefixes and let
llvm mangle as appropriate.

This required some tedious reordering to match clang's order.
Presumably these ObjC tests were generated based on llvm-gcc's output
ordering.

This is to ensure that GlobalOpt in LLVM does not attempt to look through a
selector reference to a method var name at compile time.
I also added a test/updated old tests that need to recognize the new keyword.

increasingly prevailing case to the point that new features
like ARC don't even support the fragile ABI anymore.
This required a little bit of reshuffling with exceptions
because a check was assuming that ObjCNonFragileABI was
only being set in ObjC mode, and that's actually a bit
obnoxious to do.
Most, though, it involved a perl script to translate a ton
of test cases.
Mostly no functionality change for driver users, although
there are corner cases with disabling language-specific
exceptions that we should handle more correctly now.

Ivar offsets for synthesized ivars are wrong, which could end up with a large
number of dirty pages because of ivar fixups at runtime. When we pack all of the
synthesized ivars into the same section, it limits the number of dirty pages
created. Place them in the "__DATA,__objc_ivar" section.

- Replace -cc1 level -fobjc-legacy-dispatch with -fobjc-dispatch-method={legacy,non-legacy,mixed}.
- Lift "mixed" vs "non-mixed" policy choice up to driver level, instead of being buried in CGObjCMac.cpp.
- No intended functionality change.

- 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).

a runtime performance improvement and there is not meant

- This was particularly bad since I fixed one instance of this name
and not another, meaning we got an LLVM module with the same
effective name in two different globals!

- Set alignment on property lists.
- 32-bit:
o Set section on property lists.
o Fix section name for category class methods.
o Fix symbol name for property lists.
o Fix section name for class method.
o Set alignment and section on class extension structure.
o Set alignment on a number of things: instance variables, methods,
method descriptions, the symbols structure.
- 64-bit:
o Fix section flags for protocol list.
I doubt most of these were problems in practice, but it is nice to
match llvm-gcc.
