binutils ar uses -plugin to specify the LTO plugin, but LLVM doesn't
need this as it doesn't use a plugin for LTO. Accepting (and ignoring)
the option allows interoperability with existing build systems and
make downstream consumers life much easier.
No objections from Rafael on this change.

Try to be more clever about selecting the default format. When an existing
archive is used, use the type of the archive to determine the format. When
existing members are present, use the first member's format to determine the
format to use. If we are creating an empty archive (MRI mode) or are adding
non-object members, default to the current behaviour of using the host type due
to the lack of a better alternative. This aids in cross-compilation on Darwin
to non-Darwin platforms which rely on GNU format archives.

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.

When updating an existing archive, llvm-ar opens the old archive into a
`MemoryBuffer`, does its thing, and writes the results to a temporary
file. That file is then renamed to the original archive filename, thus
replacing it with the updated contents. However, on Windows at least,
what would happen is that the `MemoryBuffer` for the old archive would
actually be an mmap'ed view of the file, so when it came time to do the
rename via Win32's `ReplaceFile`, it would succeed but would be unable
to fully replace the file since there would still be a handle open on
it; instead, the old version got renamed to a random temporary name and
left behind.

The needed lld matching changes to be submitted immediately next,
but this revision will cause lld failures with this alone which is expected.
This removes the eating of the error in Archive::Child::getSize() when the characters
in the size field in the archive header for the member is not a number. To do this we
have all of the needed methods return ErrorOr to push them up until we get out of lib.
Then the tools and can handle the error in whatever way is appropriate for that tool.
So the solution is to plumb all the ErrorOr stuff through everything that touches archives.
This include its iterators as one can create an Archive object but the first or any other
Child object may fail to be created due to a bad size field in its header.
Thanks to Lang Hames on the changes making child_iterator contain an
ErrorOr<Child> instead of a Child and the needed changes to ErrorOr.h to add
operator overloading for * and -> .
We don’t want to use llvm_unreachable() as it calls abort() and is produces a “crash”
and using report_fatal_error() to move the error checking will cause the program to
stop, neither of which are really correct in library code. There are still some uses of
these that should be cleaned up in this library code for other than the size field.
The test cases use archives with text files so one can see the non-digit character,
in this case a ‘%’, in the size field.
These changes will require corresponding changes to the lld project. That will be
committed immediately after this change. But this revision will cause lld failures
with this alone which is expected.

For CloudABI's toolchain I have a symlink that goes from <target>-ar and
<target>-ranlib to LLVM's ar binary, to mimick GNU Binutils' naming
scheme. The problem is that if we're targetting ARM64, the name of the
ranlib executable is aarch64-unknown-cloudabi-ranlib. This already
contains the string "ar".
Let's move the "ranlib" test above the "ar" test. It's not that likely
that we're going to see operating systems or harwdare architectures that
are called "ranlib".

Also corrected the code where the size gets us to the “at the end of the archive”
which is OK but past the end of the archive will return object_error::parse_failed now.
The test cases use archives with text files so one can see the non-digit character,
in this case a ‘%’, in the size field.

For now the Archive owns the buffers of the thin archive members.
This makes for a simple API, but all the buffers are destructed
only when the archive is destructed. This should be fine since we
close the files after mmap so we should not hit an open file
limit.

They should probably be created on anything that is not windows or linux, but I will
test on freebsd before changing that.
With this it is possible to bootstrap with llvm-ar instead of ar+ranlib on OS X.

No support for the symbol table yet (but will hopefully add it today).
We always use the long filename format so that we can align the member,
which is an advantage of the BSD format.

llvm-lib is intended to be a lib.exe compatible utility that also
understands bitcode. The implementation lives in a library so that
lld can use it to implement /lib.

This is a micro optimization, but also makes the code a bit more flexible.
The MRIMembers variable is a short term hack. It is going away in the next
commit.

I was quiet surprised to find this feature being used. Fortunately the uses
I found look fairly simple. In fact, they are just a very verbose version
of the regular ar commands.
Start implementing it then by parsing the script and setting the command
variables as if we had a regular command line.
This patch adds just enough support to create an empty archive and do a bit
of error checking. In followup patches I will implement at least addmod
and addlib.
From the description in the manual, even the more general case should not
be too hard to implement if needed. The features that don't map 1:1 to
the simple command line are
* Reading from multiple archives.
* Creating multiple archives.
