.gcno, .gcda and source files can be modified while we are reading them. If the
concurrent modification of a file being read nullifies the NUL terminator
assumption, llvm-cov can trip over an assertion failure in MemoryBuffer::init.
This is not so rare - the source files can be in an editor and .gcda can be
written by an running process (if the process forks, when .gcda gets written is
probably more unpredictable).
There is no accompanying test because an assertion failure requires data
races with some involved setting.
If .gcda is corrupted, gcov continues to produce a .gcov and just
assumes execution counts are zeros. This is reasonable, because the
program can corrupt its .gcda output. The code path should be similar to
the code path without .gcda.
Between gcov 4.9~8, `gcov -i $file` prints coverage information to
$file.gcov in an intermediate text format (single file, instead of
$source.gcov for each source file).
lcov newer than 2019-05-24 detects -i support and uses it to increase
processing speed. gcov 9 (GCC r265587) removed --intermediate-format
and -i was changed to mean --json-format. However, we consider this
format still useful and support it. geninfo (part of lcov) supports this
format even if we announce that we are compatible with gcov 9.0.0
gcov by default prints to a .gcov file. With --stdout, stdout is used.
Some summary information is omitted. There is no separator for multiple
source files.
GCDAProfiling.c unnecessarily writes function names to .gcda files.
GCC 4.2 gcc/libgcov.c (now renamed to libgcc/libgcov*) did not write function
names. gcov-7 (compatible) crashes on .gcda produced by libclang_rt.profile
rL176173 realized the problem and introduced a mode to remove function
names.
llvm-cov code apparently takes GCDAProfiling.c output format as truth
and tries to decode function names. Additionally, llvm-cov tries to
decode tags in certain order which does not match libgcov emitted .gcda
files.
This patch fixes the .gcda decoder and makes it work with GCC 8 and 9
(10 is compatible with 9). Note, line statistics are broken and not
fixed by this patch.
Add test/tools/llvm-cov/gcov-{4.7,8,9}.c to test compatibility.
The patch adds support for --hash-filenames to llvm-cov. This option adds md5
hash of the source path to the name of the generated .gcov file. The option is
crucial for cases where you have multiple files with the same name but can't
use --preserve-paths as resulting filenames exceed the limit.
from gcov(1):
```
-x
--hash-filenames
By default, gcov uses the full pathname of the source files to to
create an output filename. This can lead to long filenames that
can overflow filesystem limits. This option creates names of the
form source-file##md5.gcov, where the source-file component is
the final filename part and the md5 component is calculated from
the full mangled name that would have been used otherwise.
```

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

This class was split between libIR and libSupport, which breaks under
modular code generation. Move it into the one library that uses it,
ProfileData, to resolve this issue.

We had various variants of defining dump() functions in LLVM. Normalize
them (this should just consistently implement the things discussed in
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2014-January/034323.html
For reference:
- Public headers should just declare the dump() method but not use
LLVM_DUMP_METHOD or #if !defined(NDEBUG) || defined(LLVM_ENABLE_DUMP)
- The definition of a dump method should look like this:
#if !defined(NDEBUG) || defined(LLVM_ENABLE_DUMP)
LLVM_DUMP_METHOD void MyClass::dump() {
// print stuff to dbgs()...
}
#endif

looking for it along $PATH. This allows installs of LLVM tools outside of
$PATH to find the symbolizer and produce pretty backtraces if they crash.
