Users are exepcted to pass all .res files to the linker, which then
merges all the resource in all .res files into a tree structure and then
converts the final tree structure to a .obj file with .rsrc$01 and
.rsrc$02 sections and then links that.
If the user instead passes several .obj files containing such resources,
the correct thing to do would be to have custom code to merge the trees
in the resource sections instead of doing normal section merging -- but
link.exe rejects if multiple resource obj files are passed in with
LNK4078, so let lld-link do that too instead of silently writing broken
.rsrc sections in that case.
The only real way to run into this is if users manually convert .res
files to .obj files by running cvtres and then handing the resulting
.obj files to lld-link instead, which in practice likely never happens.
(lld-link is slightly stricter than link.exe now: If link.exe is passed
one .obj file created by cvtres, and a .res file, for some reason it
just emits a warning instead of an error and outputs strange looking
data. lld-link now errors out on mixed input like this.)
One way users could accidentally run into this is the following
scenario: If a .res file is passed to lib.exe, then lib.exe calls
cvtres.exe on the .res file before putting it in the output .lib.
(llvm-lib currently doesn't do this.)
link.exe's /wholearchive seems to only add obj files referenced from the
static library index, but lld-link current really adds all files in the
archive. So if lld-link /wholearchive is used with .lib files produced
by lib.exe and .res files were among the files handed to lib.exe, we
previously silently produced invalid output, but now we error out.
link.exe's /wholearchive semantics on the other hand mean that it
wouldn't load the resource object files from the .lib file at all.
Since this scenario is probably still an unlikely corner case,
the difference in behavior here seems fine -- and lld-link might have to
change to use link.exe's /wholearchive semantics in the future anyways.
Vaguely related to PR42180.

Archives can contain multiple members with the same name. This would
cause ThinLTO links to fail ("Expected at most one ThinLTO module per
bitcode file"). This change implements the same strategy we use in
the ELF linker: make the offset in the archive part of the module
name so that names are unique.

We introduce a new class hierarchy for debug types merging (in DebugTypes.h). The end-goal is to parallelize the type merging - please see the plan in D59226.
Previously, dependency discovery was done on the fly, much later, during the type merging loop. Unfortunately, parallelizing the type merging requires the dependencies to be merged in first, before any dependent ObjFile, thus this early discovery.
The overall intention for this path is to discover debug information dependencies at a much earlier stage, when processing input files. Currently, two types of dependency are supported: PDB type servers (when compiling with MSVC /Zi) and precompiled headers OBJs (when compiling with MSVC /Yc and /Yu). Once discovered, an explicit link is added into the dependent ObjFile, through the new debug types class hierarchy introduced in DebugTypes.h.

Summary:
This avoids allocating O(#relocs) of intermediate data for each section
when range extension thunks aren't needed for that section. This also
removes a std::vector from SectionChunk, which further reduces its size.
Instead, this change adds the range extension thunk symbols to the
object files that contain sections that need extension thunks. By adding
them to the symbol table of the parent object, that means they now have
a symbol table index. Then we can then modify the original relocation,
after copying it to read-write memory, to use the new symbol table
index.
This makes linking browser_tests.exe with no PDB 10.46% faster, moving
it from 11.364s to 10.288s averaged over five runs.

Turns out nobody understands what "conflicting comdat type" is supposed to
mean, so just emit a regular "duplicate symbol" error and move the comdat
selection information into /verbose output.
This also fixes a problem where the error output would depend on the order of
.obj files passed. Before this patch:
- If passed `one_only.obj discard.obj`, lld-link would only err "conflicting
comdat type"
- If passed `discard.obj one_only.obj`, lld-link would err "conflicting comdat
type" and then "duplicate symbol"
Now lld-link only errs "duplicate symbol" in both cases.
I considered adding a "Detail" parameter to reportDuplicate() that's printed in
parens at the end of the "duplicate symbol" diag if present, and then put the
comdat selection mismatch details there, but since users don't know what it's
supposed to mean decided against it. I also considered special-casing the
Detail message for one_only/discard mismatches, which in practice means
"function defined as inline in TU 1 but as out-of-line in TU 2", but I wasn't
sure how useful it is so I omitted that too.

LLD used to handle comdats as if the selection field was always set to
IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ANY. This means for obj files produced by `cl /Gy`, LLD
would never report a duplicate symbol error.
This change:
- adds validation for the Selection field (should make no difference in
practice for compiler-generated obj inputs)
- rejects comdats that have different Selection fields in different obj files
(likewise). This is a bit more strict but also more self-consistent thank
link.exe (see comment in code)
- implements handling for all the selection kinds
In practice, compilers only generate comdats with
IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_NODUPLICATES (LLD now produces duplicate symbol errors for
these), IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ANY (no behavior change), and
IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_LARGEST (for RTTI data; here LLD should no longer create
broken executables when linking some TUs with RTTI enabled and some with it
disabled – but see below).
The implementation of `IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_LARGEST` is incomplete: If one
SELECT_LARGEST comdat replaces an earlier one, the comdat symbol is replaced
correctly, but the old section stays loaded and if /opt:ref is disabled (via
/opt:noref or /debug) it's still written to the output. That's not ideal, but
better than the current treatment of just picking any one of those comdats. I
hope to fix this better later.
Fixes most of PR40094.

MinGW configurations don't use associative comdats, as GNU ld doesn't
support that. Instead they produce normal comdats named .text$sym,
.xdata$sym and .pdata$sym.
GNU ld doesn't discard any comdats starting with .xdata or .pdata,
even if --gc-sections is used (while it does discard other unreferenced
comdats), regardless of what symbol name is used after the $ separator.
For LLD, treat any such comdat as implicitly associative to the base
symbol. This requires maintaining a map from symbol name to section
number, but that is only maintained when the MinGW flag has been
enabled.

Future symbol insertions can potentially change the type of these
symbols - keep pointers to the base class to reflect this, and
use dynamic casts to inspect them before using as the subclass
type.
This fixes crashes that were possible before, by touching these

the old pointers with DefinedImportThunk type.

In COFF, duplicate string literals are merged by placing them in a
comdat whose leader symbol name contains a specific prefix followed
by the hash and partial contents of the string literal. This gives
us an easy way to identify sections containing string literals in
the linker: check for leader symbol names with the given prefix.
Any sections that are identified in this way as containing string
literals may be tail merged. We do so using the StringTableBuilder
class, which is also used to tail merge string literals in the ELF
linker. Tail merging is enabled only if ICF is enabled, as this
provides a signal as to whether the user cares about binary size.

Summary:
This protects calls to longjmp from transferring control to arbitrary
program points. Instead, longjmp calls are limited to the set of
registered setjmp return addresses.
This also implements /guard:nolongjmp to allow users to link in object
files that call setjmp that weren't compiled with /guard:cf. In this
case, the linker will approximate the set of address taken functions,
but it will leave longjmp unprotected.
I used the following program to test, compiling it with different -guard
flags:
$ cl -c t.c -guard:cf
$ lld-link t.obj -guard:cf
#include <setjmp.h>
#include <stdio.h>
jmp_buf buf;
void g() {
printf("before longjmp\n");
fflush(stdout);
longjmp(buf, 1);
}
void f() {
if (setjmp(buf)) {
printf("setjmp returned non-zero\n");
return;
}
g();
}
int main() {
f();
printf("hello world\n");
}
In particular, the program aborts when the code is compiled *without*
-guard:cf and linked with -guard:cf. That indicates that longjmps are
protected.

With this change, instead of creating a SectionChunk for each section
in the object file, we only create them when we encounter a prevailing
comdat section.
Also change how symbol resolution occurs between comdat symbols. Now
only the comdat leader participates in comdat resolution, and not any
other external associated symbols. This is more in line with how COFF
semantics are defined, and should allow for a more straightforward
implementation of non-ANY comdat types.

This is a different implementation than r303225 (which was reverted
in r303270, re-submitted in r303304 and then re-reverted in r303527).
In the previous patch, I tried to add Live bit to each dllimported
symbol. It turned out that it didn't work with "oldnames.lib" which
contains a lot of weak aliases to dllimported symbols.
The way we handle weak aliases is to check if undefined symbols
can be resolved using weak aliases, and if so, memcpy the Defined
symbols to weak Undefined symbols, so that any references to weak
aliases automatically see defined symbols instead of undefined ones.
This memcpy happens before MarkLive kicks in.
That means we may have multiple copies of dllimported symbols. So
turning on one instance's Live bit is not enough.
This patch moves the Live bit to dllimport file. Since multiple
copies of dllsymbols still point to the same file, we can use it as the
central repository to keep track of liveness.

Summary: When using /msvclto, lld and MSVC's linker both do their own symbol resolution. This can cause them to select different archive members, which can result in undefined references.

Profiling revealed that the majority of lld's execution time on Windows was
spent opening and mapping input files. We can reduce this cost significantly
by performing these operations asynchronously.
This change introduces a queue for all operations on input file data. When
we discover that we need to load a file (for example, when we find a lazy
archive for an undefined symbol, or when we read a linker directive to
load a file from disk), the file operation is launched using a future and
the symbol resolution operation is enqueued. This implies another change
to symbol resolution semantics, but it seems to be harmless ("ninja All"
in Chromium still succeeds).
To measure the perf impact of this change I linked Chromium's chrome_child.dll
with both thin and fat archives.
Thin archives:
Before (median of 5 runs): 19.50s
After: 10.93s
Fat archives:
Before: 12.00s
After: 9.90s
On Linux I found that doing this asynchronously had a negative effect on
performance, probably because the cost of mapping a file is small enough that
it becomes outweighed by the cost of managing the futures. So on non-Windows
platforms I use the deferred execution strategy.
