/machine:ebc was previously recognized but rejected. Unknown architecture
names were handled differently but eventually rejected too. We don't need

This patch changes the type of export table set from std::set to
std::vector. The new code is slightly inefficient, but because
export table elements are actually mutable, std::vector is better
here. No functionality change.

If two or more /export options are given for the same symbol, we should
always print a warning message and use the first one regardless of other

Accept /machine:arm as an argument. This is changed to support ARM NT.
Although there is no way to differentiate between ARM (Windows CE) and ARM NT

/machine:arm to mean Windows on ARM.

Mach-O has a "fat" (or "universal") variant where the same contents built for
different architectures are concatenated into one file with a table-of-contents
header at the start. But this leaves a dilemma for the linker - which
architecture to use.
Normally, the linker command line -arch is used to force which slice of any fat
files are used. The clang compiler always passes -arch to the linker when
invoking it. But some Makefiles invoke the linker directly and don’t specify
the -arch option. For those cases, the linker scans all input files in command
line order and finds the first non-fat object file. Whatever architecture it
is becomes the architecture for the link.

Patch by Daniel Stewart <stewartd@codeaurora.org>!
llvm-svn: 215544
The entry point file needs to be processed after all other
object files and before all .lib files. It was processed
after .lib files. That caused an issue that the entry point
function was not resolved from the standard library files.
llvm-svn: 213804
On Windows there are four "main" functions -- main, wmain, WinMain,
or wWinMain. Their parameter types are diffferent. The standard
library provides four different entry functions (i.e.
{w,}{WinMain,main}CRTStartup) for them. You need to use the right
entry routine for your "main" function.
If you give an /entry option, the specified name is used
unconditionally.
Otherwise, the linker needs to select the right one based on
user-supplied entry point function. This can be done after the
linker reads all the input files.
This patch moves the code to determine the entry point function
from the driver to a virtual input file. It also implements the
correct logic for the entry point function selection.
llvm-svn: 213713
Previously we invoked cvtres.exe for each compiled Windows
resource file. The generated files were then concatenated
and embedded to the executable.
That was not the correct way to merge compiled Windows
resource files. If you just concatenate generated files,
only the first file would be recognized and the rest would
be ignored as trailing garbage.
The right way to merge them is to call cvtres.exe with
multiple input files. In this patch we do that in the
Windows driver.

Make it possible to add observers to an Input Graph, so that files
returned from an Input Graph can be examined before they are
passed to Resolver.
To implement some PE/COFF features we need to know all the symbols
that *can* be solved, including ones in archive files that are not
yet to be read.
Currently, Resolver only maintains a set of symbols that are
already read. It has no knowledge on symbols in skipped files in
an archive file.
There are many ways to implement that. I chose to apply the
observer pattern here because it seems most non-intrusive. We don't
want to mess up Resolver with architecture specific features.
Even in PE/COFF, the feature that needs this mechanism is minor.
So I chose not to modify Resolver, but add a hook to Input Graph.

Previously LLD would fail if /OPT:icf, /OPT:lbr or such are specified,
because these command line flags would be handled as unknown ones. We
rather want LLD to ignore these known but yet-to-be-implemented options
for now.
Added tests for the driver as well.
llvm-svn: 206863
/ignore:<number> is a linker option to disable warning specified by
the number. We ignore the option because it does not make sense for
LLD.

Currently LLD supports --defsym only in the form of
--defsym=<symbol>=<integer>, where the integer is interpreted as the
absolute address of the symbol. This patch extends it to allow other
symbol name to be given as an RHS value. If a RHS value is a symbol
name, the LHS symbol will be defined as an alias for the RHS symbol.
Internally, a LHS symbol is represented as a zero-size defined atom
who has an LayoutAfter reference to an undefined atom, whose name is
the RHS value. Everything else is already implemented -- Resolver
will resolve the undefined symbol, and the layout pass will layout
the two atoms at the same location. Looks like it's working fine.
Note that GNU LD supports --defsym=<symbol>=<symbol>+<addend>. That
feature is out of scope of this patch.

An ordinal is set to each child of Input Graph, but no one actually
uses it. The only piece of code that gets ordinaly values is
sortInputElements in InputGraph.cpp, but it does not actually do
anything -- we assign ordinals in increasing order just before
calling sort, so when sort is called it's already sorted. It's no-op.
We can simply remove it. No functionality change.

Resolver is sending too much information to Input Graph than Input
Graph actually needs. In order to collect the detailed information,
which wouldn't be consumed by anyone, we have a good amount of code
in Resolver, Input Graph and Input Elements. This patch is to
simplify it. No functionality change.
Specifically, this patch replaces ResolverState enum with a boolean
value. The enum defines many bits to notify the progress about
linking to Input Graph using bit masks, however, what Input Graph
actually does is to compare a given value with 0. The details of
the bit mask is simply being ignored, so the efforts to collect
such data is wasted.
This patch also changes the name of the notification interface from
setResolverState to notifyProgress, to make it sounds more like
message passing style. It's not a setter but something to notify of
an update, so the new name should be more appropriate than before.

Group class is designed for GNU LD's --start-group and --end-group. There's
no obvious need to have two classes for it -- one as an abstract base class
and the other as a concrete class.
llvm-svn: 205375
InputGraph has too many knobs and controls that are not being used. This
patch is to remove dead code, unused features and a class. There are two
things that worth noting, besides simple dead code removal:
1. ControlNode class is removed. We had it as the base class of Group
class, but it provides no functionality particularly meaningful. We now
have shallower class hierarchy that is easier to understand.
2. InputGraph provides a feature to replace a node with its internal data.
It is being used to "expand" some type of node, such as a Linker Script
node, with its actual files. We used to have two options when replacing
it -- ExpandOnly or ExpandAndReplace. ExpandOnly was to expand it but not
remove the node from the tree. There is no use of that option in the code,
so it was a dead feature.

cast<X> asserts the type is correct and does not return null on failure.

This patch is to support --defsym option for ELF file format/GNU-compatible
driver. Currently it takes a symbol name followed by '=' and a number. If such
option is given, the driver sets up an absolute symbol with the specified
address. You can specify multiple --defsym options to define multiple symbols.
GNU LD's --defsym provides many more features. For example, it allows users to
specify another symbol name instead of a number to define a symbol alias, or it
even allows a symbol plus an offset (e.g. --defsym=foo+3) to define symbol-
relative alias. This patch does not support that, but will be supported in
subsequent patches.

LLD fails to link symbol "_main" if the symbol is in a library file and
the library file is given as a bare argument (i.e. not with /defaultlib
option). It's because library files given as bare arguments are processed
before other libraries given with /defaultlib, so when Linker finds msvcrtd
needs a definition for "_main", the file providing the main function has
already been processed and skipped. Linker don't revisit libraries if it's
not given with /defaultlib.
To fix it this patch change the way of command line handling; files end with
".lib" are treated as if they are given with /defaultlib. I don't believe
it's 100% correct behavior but it's better than before.

This results in some simplifications to the code where an OwningPtr had to

Syntactically /SAFESEH is a boolean flag -- you can pass /SAFESEH or /SAFESEH:no.
The meaning of /SAFESEH is as follows.
- If /SAFESEH is specified, the linker will produce an executable with SEH table.
If any input files are not compatible with SEH, it's an error.
- If /SAFESEH:no is specified, the linker will not emit SEH table even if all
input files are compatible with SEH.
- If no option is specified, the linker emits SEH table if all input files are
compatible with SEH.

Refactor the parser so that the parser can return arbitrary type of parse

llvm-svn: 198993
The main goal of this patch is to allow "mach-o encoded as yaml" and "native
encoded as yaml" documents to be intermixed. They are distinguished via
yaml tags at the start of the document. This will enable all mach-o test cases
to be written using yaml instead of checking in object files.
The Registry was extend to allow yaml tag handlers to be registered. The
mach-o Reader adds a yaml tag handler for the tag "!mach-o".
Additionally, this patch fixes some buffer ownership issues. When parsing
mach-o binaries, the mach-o atoms can have pointers back into the memory
mapped .o file. But with yaml encoded mach-o, name and content are ephemeral,
so a copyRefs parameter was added to cause the mach-o atoms to make their
own copy.
llvm-svn: 198986
Each export symbol descriptor has unique name attribute, so std::set is

Default ordinals were assigned in EdataPass, and the assigned values were
then discarded in the pass. No code other than EdataPass would not be able
to get all of the information about ordinals. That's not ideal since I'm
writing code to emit an Import Library file, which also needs ordinals.
This is a patch to move the code to assign default ordinals from EdataPass
to LinkingContext::verify(), so that assigned ordinals will be available
anywhere.
No functionality change.
llvm-svn: 197797
The main changes are in:
include/lld/Core/Reference.h
include/lld/ReaderWriter/Reader.h
Everything else is details to support the main change.
1) Registration based Readers
Previously, lld had a tangled interdependency with all the Readers. It would
have been impossible to make a streamlined linker (say for a JIT) which
just supported one file format and one architecture (no yaml, no archives, etc).
The old model also required a LinkingContext to read an object file, which
would have made .o inspection tools awkward.
The new model is that there is a global Registry object. You programmatically
register the Readers you want with the registry object. Whenever you need to
read/parse a file, you ask the registry to do it, and the registry tries each
registered reader.
For ease of use with the existing lld code base, there is one Registry
object inside the LinkingContext object.
2) Changing kind value to be a tuple
Beside Readers, the registry also keeps track of the mapping for Reference
Kind values to and from strings. Along with that, this patch also fixes
an ambiguity with the previous Reference::Kind values. The problem was that
we wanted to reuse existing relocation type values as Reference::Kind values.
But then how can the YAML write know how to convert a value to a string? The
fix is to change the 32-bit Reference::Kind into a tuple with an 8-bit namespace
(e.g. ELF, COFFF, etc), an 8-bit architecture (e.g. x86_64, PowerPC, etc), and
a 16-bit value. This tuple system allows conversion to and from strings with
no ambiguities.
llvm-svn: 197727
/DLLEXPORT is a command line option to export a symbol. __declspec(dllexport)
uses that to make the linker to export DLLExport'ed functions, by adding the
option to .drectve section.
This patch implements the parser of the command line option.
llvm-svn: 197122
/ALTERNATENAME is a rarely-used, undocumented command line option that is
needed to link LLD for release build. It seems that the option is for defining
an weak alias; /alternatename:foo=bar defines weak symbol "foo" for "bar".
If "foo" is defined in an input file, it'll be linked normally and the command
line option will have no effect. If it's not defined, "foo" will be handled
as an alias for "bar".
This patch implements the parser for the option. The actual weak alias handling
will be implemented in a separate patch.
llvm-svn: 196743
Currently we do not de-duplicate library files specified by /defaultlib option.
As a result, the same files are added multiple times to the input graph. In
particular, some popular files, such as kernel32.lib or oldnames.lib, are added
more than 10 times during linking of LLD. That makes the linker slower, as it
needs to parse the same file again and again.
This patch solves the issue by de-duplicating. The same file will be added only
once to the input graph. This patch improved the LLD linking time from 10.5
seconds to 7.7 seconds on my 4-core Core i7 Macbook Pro.
llvm-svn: 196504
If /functionpadmin is specified, the linker is supposed to make room at the
beginning of each function, so that self-modifying program would easily
hotpatch existing functions. Since I'm not sure if this feature is really used,
I'll make LLD to ignore the option for now.
llvm-svn: 196363
/DEBUG option is to make the linker to emit debug information to the resulting
executable. It's not for enable debugging of the linker itself.
llvm-svn: 196040
/MERGE option is a bit complicated for many reasons. Firstly, it takes both
positive and negative arguments. That means we have to have one of three
distinctive values (set, clear or unchange) for each permission bit. In this
patch we represent the three values using two bitmasks.
Secondly, the permissions specified by the parameter is bitwise or-ed with the
default permissions of a section. There is an exception for that rule; if one
of READ, WRITE or EXECUTE bit is specified, unspecified bits need to be
cleared. (So if you specify only WRITE for example, the resulting section will
not have WRITE nor EXECUTE bits.)
Lastly, multiple /merge options are allowed.
llvm-svn: 195882
This adds LinkerScript support by creating a type Script which is of type
FileNode in the InputGraph. Once the LinkerScript Parser converts the
LinkerScript into a sequence of command, the commands are handled by the
equivalent LinkerScript node for the current Flavor/Target. For ELF, a
ELFGNULdScript gets created which converts the commands to ELF nodes and ELF
control nodes(ELFGroup for handling Group nodes).
Since the Inputfile type has to be determined in the Driver, the Driver needs
to determine the complete path of the file that needs to be processed by the
Linker. Due to this, few tests have been removed since the Driver uses paths
that doesnot exist.
llvm-svn: 195583
Hidden nodes could be a result of expansion, where a flavor might decide to keep
the node that we want to expand but discard it from being processed by the
resolver.

llvm-svn: 195516
Flavors may like to expand InputGraph nodes, when a filenode after parsing
results in more elements. One such example is while parsing GNU linker scripts.
The linker scripts after parsing would result in a lot of filenodes and probably
controlnodes too.

This patch adds support for converting normalized mach-o to and from binary

second step uses writeBinary() which to generate the mach-o binary file.

I'm not sure if it is really an alias for /nodefaultlib, but I can say that
they are at least similar. Making it an alias would be better than ignoring it.

/defaultlib options can be specified implicitly via the .drectve section, and
it's pretty common that multiple object files add the same library, such as

Dead-strip root symbols can be undefined atoms, but should not really be

This is the first step in how I plan to get mach-o object files support into
lld. We need to be able to test the mach-o Reader and Write on systems without
a mach-o tools. Therefore, we want to support a textual way (YAML) to represent
mach-o files.
MachONormalizedFile.h defines an in-memory abstraction of the content of mach-o
files. The in-memory data structures are always native endianess and always
use 64-bit sizes. That internal data structure can then be converted to or
from three different formats: 1) yaml (text) encoded mach-o, 2) binary mach-o
files, 3) lld Atoms.
This patch defines the internal model and uses YAML I/O to implement the
conversion to and from the model to yaml. The next patch will implement
the conversion from normalized to binary mach-o.
This patch includes unit tests to validate the yaml conversion APIs.
