/natvis is a new command line option introduced by MSVC 2017.
We eventually have to support it, but for now, let's ignore it so that
we can at least link stuff instead of printing out an error.
Patch by Michael Rickert.

These are emitted for comm symbols in object files, when targeting
a GNU environment.
Alternatively, just ignore them since we already align CommonChunk
to the natural size of the content (up to 32 bytes). That would only
trade away the possibility to overalign small symbols, which doesn't
sound like something that might not need to be handled?

When /DEBUG is not specified, /PDB should be ignored. When
/DEBUG is specified, a PDB should be output regardless of
whether or not /PDB is specified. /PDB just overrides the
default name.
This patch implements this behavior, and adds some tests, while
also removing a dead option /DEBUGPDB which was unused in any
code.

The /appcontainer flag indicates that the module may only be used inside
an application container (for isolation). This has been supported by
link.exe since Windows 8.0. It sets an additional bit in the PE DLL
Characteristics flag to indicate the behavioural change.

Summary:
This adds support for reporting multiple errors in a single invocation of lld-link. The limit defaults to 20 and can be changed with the /ERRORLIMIT command line parameter, or set to unlimited by passing a value of 0.
This is a new attempt after r295507, which was reverted because opening files raced with exiting early, causing the test to be flaky. This version avoids the race by exiting before calling enqueuePath.

This will be used in the sanitizer test suite, which wants to use DWARF
line tables.
At some point we should reconsider how LLD handles the long section
names required by DWARF debug sections.

Behavior races on ErrorCount. If the enqueued paths are evaluated
eagerly (in enqueuePath) then the behavior is as the test expects. But
they may not be evaluated until the future is waited on, in run() -
which is after the early return/exit on ErrorCount. (this causes the
test to fail (because in the "/ERRORCOUNT:XYZ" test, no other errors
are printed), at least for me, on linux)
This reverts commit r295507.

This patch defines a new command line option, /MSVCLTO, to LLD.
If that option is given, LLD invokes link.exe to link LTO-generated
object files. This is hacky but useful because link.exe can create
PDB files.

The former option bases the filename on the output name, e.g. if the
link output is a.exe, the map will be written to a.map. This matches the
behaviour of link.exe's /MAP option and is useful for creating a map
file of each executable when building a large project.

Previously, we discarded .debug$ sections. This patch adds them to
files so that PDB.cpp can access them.
This patch also adds a debug option, /dumppdb, to dump debug info
fed to createPDB so that we can verify that valid data has been passed.
llvm-svn: 287555
Add the support infrastructure for the /debugtype option which takes a comma
delimited list of debug info to generate. The defaults are based on other
options potentially (/driver or /profile). This sets up the infrastructure to
allow us to emit RSDS records to get "build id" equivalents on COFF (similar to
binutils).
llvm-svn: 278056
This flag is implemented similarly to --reproduce in the ELF linker.
This patch implements /linkrepro by moving the cpio writer and associated
utility functions to lldCore, and using that implementation in both linkers.
One COFF-specific detail is that we store the object file from which the
resource files were created in our reproducer, rather than the resource
files themselves. This allows the reproducer to be used on non-Windows
systems for example.

Manifest file is a separate or embedded XML file having metadata
of an executable. As it is XML, it can contain various types of
information. Probably the most popular one is to request escalated
priviledges.
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
in this patch.

This flag disables link.exe's crash handler so that normal windows error
reporting and crash dumping occurs. For now it is reasonable for LLD to
ignore the flag.
Chromium is currently using this flag to collect minidumps of link.exe
crashing, and it breaks the LLD build.
llvm-svn: 264439
This is an LLD extension to MSVC link.exe command line. MSVC linker
does not write symbol tables for executables. We do unless no /debug
option is given.
There's a situation that we want to enable debug info but don't want
to emit the symbol table. One example is when we are comparing output
file size. With this patch, you can tell the linker to not create
a symbol table by just specifying /nosymtab.
llvm-svn: 248225
The option is added in MSVC 2015, and there's no documentation about
what the option is. This patch is to ignore the option for now, so that
at least LLD is usable with MSVC 2015.
llvm-svn: 246780
This flag can be used to produce a map file, which is essentially a list
of objects linked into the final output file together with the RVAs of
their symbols. Because our format differs from MSVC's we expose it as a
separate flag.

This is an initial patch for a section-based COFF linker.
The patch has 2300 lines of code including comments and blank lines.
Before diving into details, you want to start from reading README
because it should give you an overview of the design.
All important things are written in the README file, so I write
summary here.
- The linker is already able to self-link on Windows.
- It's significantly faster than the existing implementation.
The existing one takes 5 seconds to link LLD on my machine,
while the new one only takes 1.2 seconds, even though the new
one is not multi-threaded yet. (And a proof-of-concept multi-
threaded version was able to link it in 0.5 seconds.)
- It uses much less memory (250MB vs. 2GB virtual memory space
to self-host).
- IMHO the new code is much simpler and easier to read than
the existing PE/COFF port.
