Archive files (.a) can have a symbol table indicating which object
files in them define which symbols. The purpose of this symbol table
is to speed up linking by allowing the linker the read only the .o
files it is actually going to use instead of having to parse every
object's symbol table.
LLVM's archive library currently supports a LLVM specific format for
such table. It is hard to see any value in that now that llvm-ld is
gone:
* System linkers don't use it: GNU ar uses the same plugin as the
linker to create archive files with a regular index. The OS X ar
creates no symbol table for IL files, I assume the linker just parses
all IL files.
* It doesn't interact well with archives having both IL and native objects.
* We probably don't want to be responsible for yet another archive
format variant.
This patch then:
* Removes support for creating and reading such index from lib/Archive.
* Remove llvm-ranlib, since there is nothing left for it to do.
We should in the future add support for regular indexes to llvm-ar for
both native and IL objects. When we do that, llvm-ranlib should be
reimplemented as a symlink to llvm-ar, as it is equivalent to "ar s".

For consistency, change the address in the test case from 0xDEADBEEF to
0xCAFEBABE since 0xCAFEBABE that actually has a 2-byte alignment.

These records are mandatory for executables and are used by the loader.

Currently, only emitting the ELF header is supported (no sections or
segments).
The ELFYAML code organization is broadly similar to the COFFYAML code.

sys::IdentifyFileType is already conscious of the length, and
object_error::invalid_file_type is returned below anyway if
sys::IdentifyFileType doesn't recognize the file.

from the LC_DATA_IN_CODE load command. And when disassembling print
the data in code formatted for the kind of data it and not disassemble those
bytes.
I added the format specific functionality to the derived class MachOObjectFile
since these tables only appears in Mach-O object files. This is my first
attempt to modify the libObject stuff so if folks have better suggestions
how to fit this in or suggestions on the implementation please let me know.

Previously, yaml2coff.cpp had a writeHexData static helper function to
do this, but it is generally useful functionality.
Also, validate hex strings up-front to avoid running having to handle
errors "deep inside" the yaml2obj code (it also gives better diagnostics
than it used to).

In ELF (as in MachO), not all relocations point to symbols. Represent this
properly by using a symbol_iterator instead of a SymbolRef. Update llvm-readobj
ELF's dumper to handle relocatios without symbols.
llvm-svn: 183284
For COFF and MachO, sections semantically have relocations that apply to them.
That is not the case on ELF.
In relocatable objects (.o), a section with relocations in ELF has offsets to
another section where the relocations should be applied.
In dynamic objects and executables, relocations don't have an offset, they have
a virtual address. The section sh_info may or may not point to another section,
but that is not actually used for resolving the relocations.
This patch exposes that in the ObjectFile API. It has the following advantages:
* Most (all?) clients can handle this more efficiently. They will normally walk
all relocations, so doing an effort to iterate in a particular order doesn't
save time.
* llvm-readobj now prints relocations in the same way the native readelf does.
* probably most important, relocations that don't point to any section are now
visible. This is the case of relocations in the rela.dyn section. See the
updated relocation-executable.test for example.

There were two problems that made llvm-objdump -r crash:
- for non-scattered relocations, the symbol/section index is actually in the
(aptly named) symbolnum field.
- sections are 1-indexed.

the things, and renames it to CBindingWrapping.h. I also moved
CBindingWrapping.h into Support/.
This new file just contains the macros for defining different wrap/unwrap
methods.
The calls to those macros, as well as any custom wrap/unwrap definitions
(like for array of Values for example), are put into corresponding C++
headers.
Doing this required some #include surgery, since some .cpp files relied
on the fact that including Wrap.h implicitly caused the inclusion of a
bunch of other things.
This also now means that the C++ headers will include their corresponding
C API headers; for example Value.h must include llvm-c/Core.h. I think
this is harmless, since the C API headers contain just external function
declarations and some C types, so I don't believe there should be any
nasty dependency issues here.

For regular object files this is only meaningful for common symbols. An object
file format with direct support for atoms should be able to provide alignment
information for all symbols.
This replaces getCommonSymbolAlignment and fixes
test-common-symbols-alignment.ll on darwin. This also includes a fix to
MachOObjectFile::getSymbolFlags. It was marking undefined symbols as common
(already tested by existing mcjit tests now that it is used).
llvm-svn: 180736
For Mach-O there were 2 implementations for parsing object files. A
standalone llvm/Object/MachOObject.h and llvm/Object/MachO.h which
implements the generic interface in llvm/Object/ObjectFile.h.
This patch adds the missing features to MachO.h, moves macho-dump to
use MachO.h and removes ObjectFile.h.
In addition to making sure that check-all is clean, I checked that the
new version produces exactly the same output in all Mach-O files in a
llvm+clang build directory (including executables and shared
libraries).
To test the performance, I ran macho-dump over all the files in a
llvm+clang build directory again, but this time redirecting the output
to /dev/null. Both the old and new versions take about 4.6 seconds
(2.5 user) to finish.

Since the relocation iterator walks only the relocations in one section, we
can just use a pointer and avoid fetching information about the section at
every reference.
llvm-svn: 180262
getRelocationAddress is for dynamic libraries and executables,
getRelocationOffset for relocatable objects.
Mark the getRelocationAddress of COFF and MachO as not implemented yet. Add a
test of ELF's. llvm-readobj -r now prints the same values as readelf -r.
llvm-svn: 180259
While here, don't report a dummy symbol for relocations that don't have symbols.
We used to says such relocations were for the first defined symbol, but now we
return end_symbols(). The llvm-readobj output change agrees with otool.

Thanks to Evgeniy Stepanov for reporting this.
It might be a good idea to add a command iterator abstraction to MachO.h, but
this fixes the bug for now.

I will remove the isBigEndianHost function once I update clang.
The ifdef logic is designed to
* not use configure/cmake to avoid breaking -arch i686 -arch ppc.
* default to little endian
* be as small as possible
It looks like sys/endian.h is the preferred header on most modern BSD systems,
but it is better to change this in a followup patch as machine/endian.h is
available on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and OS X.

Original message:
Print more information about relocations.
With this patch llvm-readobj now prints if a relocation is pcrel, its length,
if it is extern and if it is scattered.
It also refactors the code a bit to use bit fields instead of shifts and
masks all over the place.

It was returning the loaded address of the section containing the relocation,
which really doesn't seem to be the intent of this function.

LoadCommandInfo was needed to keep a command and its offset in the file. Now
that we always have a pointer to the command, we don't need the offset.

InMemoryStruct is extremely dangerous as it returns data from an internal
buffer when the endiannes doesn't match. This should fix the tests on big
endian hosts.
llvm-svn: 178875
Improve performance of iterating over children and accessing the member file
buffer by caching the file size and moving code out to the header.
This also makes getBuffer return a StringRef instead of a MemoryBuffer. Both
fixing a memory leak and removing a malloc.
This takes getBuffer from ~10% of the time in lld to unmeasurable.

politely report it instead of running into llvm_unreachable.
Also patch llvm-dwarfdump to actually check whether the file it's attempting to
dump is a valid object file.

This simplifies the usage and implementation of ELFObjectFile by using ELFType
to replace:
<endianness target_endianness, std::size_t max_alignment, bool is64Bits>
This does complicate the base ELF types as they must now use template template
parameters to partially specialize for the 32 and 64bit cases. However these
are only defined once.
llvm-svn: 172515
On MachO, sections also have segment names. When a tool looking at a .o file
prints a segment name, this is what they mean. In reality, a .o has only one
anonymous, segment.
This patch adds a MachO only function to fetch that segment name. I named it
getSectionFinalSegmentName since the main use for the name seems to be inform
the linker with segment this section should go to.
The patch also changes MachOObjectFile::getSectionName to return just the
section name instead of computing SegmentName,SectionName.
The main difference from the previous patch is that it doesn't use
InMemoryStruct. It is extremely dangerous: if the endians match it returns
a pointer to the file buffer, if not, it returns a pointer to an internal buffer
that is overwritten in the next API call.
We should change all of this code to use
support::detail::packed_endian_specific_integral like ELF, but since these
functions only handle strings, they work with big and little endian machines
as is.
I have tested this by installing ubuntu 12.10 ppc on qemu, that is why it took
so long :-)
llvm-svn: 170838
I cannot reproduce it the failures locally, so I will keep an eye at the ppc
bots. This patch does add the change to the "Disassembly of section" message,
but that is not what was failing on the bots.
