Owning the buffer is somewhat inflexible. Some Binaries have sub Binaries
(like Archive) and we had to create dummy buffers just to handle that. It is
also a bad fit for IRObjectFile where the Module wants to own the buffer too.
Keeping this ownership would make supporting IR inside native objects
particularly painful.
This patch focuses in lib/Object. If something elsewhere used to own an Binary,
now it also owns a MemoryBuffer.
This patch introduces a few new types.
* MemoryBufferRef. This is just a pair of StringRefs for the data and name.
This is to MemoryBuffer as StringRef is to std::string.
* OwningBinary. A combination of Binary and a MemoryBuffer. This is needed
for convenience functions that take a filename and return both the
buffer and the Binary using that buffer.
The C api now uses OwningBinary to avoid any change in semantics. I will start
a new thread to see if we want to change it and how.

This should allow llvm-ar to be used instead of gnu ar + plugin in a LTO
build. I will add a release note about it once I finish a LTO bootstrap with it.

string_ostream is a safe and efficient string builder that combines opaque
stack storage with a built-in ostream interface.
small_string_ostream<bytes> additionally permits an explicit stack storage size
other than the default 128 bytes to be provided. Beyond that, storage is
transferred to the heap.
This convenient class can be used in most places an
std::string+raw_string_ostream pair or SmallString<>+raw_svector_ostream pair
would previously have been used, in order to guarantee consistent access
without byte truncation.
The patch also converts much of LLVM to use the new facility. These changes
include several probable bug fixes for truncated output, a programming error
that's no longer possible with the new interface.
llvm-svn: 211749
This makes the buffer ownership on error conditions very natural. The buffer
is only moved out of the argument if an object is constructed that now
owns the buffer.
llvm-svn: 211546
This allows us to just use a std::unique_ptr to store the pointer to the buffer.
The flip side is that they have to support releasing the buffer back to the
caller.
Overall this looks like a more efficient and less brittle api.
llvm-svn: 211542
While std::error_code itself seems to work OK in all platforms, there
are few annoying differences with regards to the std::errc enumeration.
This patch adds a simple llvm enumeration, which will hopefully avoid build
breakages in other platforms and surprises as we get more uses of
std::error_code.
llvm-svn: 210920
The idea of this patch is to turn llvm/Support/system_error.h into a
transitional header that just brings in the erorr_code api to the llvm
namespace. I will remove it shortly afterwards.
The cases where the general idea needed some tweaking:
* std::errc is a namespace in msvc, so we cannot use "using std::errc". I could
add an #ifdef, but there were not that many uses, so I just added std:: to
them in this patch.
* Template specialization had to be moved to the std namespace in this
patch set already.
* The msvc implementation of default_error_condition doesn't seem to
provide the same transformations as we need. Not too surprising since
the standard doesn't actually say what "equivalent" means. I fixed the
problem by keeping our old mapping and using it at error_code
construction time.
Despite these shortcomings I think this is still a good thing. Some reasons:
* The different implementations of system_error might improve over time.
* It removes 925 lines of code from llvm already.
* It removes 6313 bytes from the text segment of the clang binary when
it is built with gcc and 2816 bytes when building with clang and
libstdc++.
llvm-svn: 210687
This compiles with no changes to clang/lld/lldb with MSVC and includes
overloads to various functions which are used by those projects and llvm
which have OwningPtr's as parameters. This should allow out of tree
projects some time to move. There are also no changes to libs/Target,
which should help out of tree targets have time to move, if necessary.
llvm-svn: 203083
After this I will set the default back to F_None. The advantage is that
before this patch forgetting to set F_Binary would corrupt a file on windows.
Forgetting to set F_Text produces one that cannot be read in notepad, which
is a better failure mode :-)
llvm-svn: 202052
This interface allows IRObjectFile to be implemented without having dummy
methods for all section and segment related methods.
Both llvm-ar and llvm-nm are changed to use it. Unfortunately the mangler is
still not plugged in since it requires some refactoring to make a Module hold
a DataLayout.
llvm-svn: 201881
None of the object file formats reported error on iterator increment. In
retrospect, that is not too surprising: no object format stores symbols or
sections in a linked list or other structure that requires chasing pointers.
As a consequence, all error checking can be done on begin() and end().
This reduces the text segment of bin/llvm-readobj in my machine from 521233 to
518526 bytes.
llvm-svn: 200442
Newer unix systems have 32 bit uid and gid types, but the archive format was
not updated. Fortunately, these fields are not normally used. Just truncate
the data to fit in 6 chars.

Linux cannot open directories with open(2), although cygwin and *bsd can.
Motivation: The test, Object/directory.ll, had been failing with --target=cygwin on Linux. XFAIL was improper for host issues.

This is just enough to get "llvm-ranlib foo.a" working and tested. Making
llvm-ranlib a symbolic link to llvm-ar doesn't work so well with llvm's option
parsing, but ar's option parsing is mostly custom anyway.
This patch also removes the -X32_64 option. Looks like it was just added in
r10297 as part of implementing the current command line parsing. I can add it
back (with a test) if someone really has AIX portability problems without it.
llvm-svn: 189489
If no other operation is specified, 's' becomes an operation instead of an
modifier. The s operation just creates a symbol table. It is the same as
running ranlib.
We assume the archive was created by a sane ar (like llvm-ar or gnu ar) and
if the symbol table is present, then it is current. We use that to optimize
the most common case: a broken build system that thinks it has to run ranlib.
llvm-svn: 187353
The main observation is that we never need both the filesize and the map size.
When mapping a slice of a file, it doesn't make sense to request a null
terminator and that would be the only case where the filesize would be used.
There are other cleanups that should be done in this area:
* A client should not have to pass the size (even an explicit -1) to say if
it wants a null terminator or not, so we should probably swap the argument
order.
* The default should be to not require a null terminator. Very few clients
require this, but many end up asking for it just because it is the default.
llvm-svn: 186984
The symbol table has forward references in the file. Instead of allocating
a temporary buffer or counting the size and then writing, this implementation
writes a dummy value first and patches it once the final value is known.
There is room for performance improvement. I will implement them as soon as I
get some other features (like a ranlib mode) in.
llvm-svn: 186934
This matches gnu archive behavior and since archive member order can change
which member is used, not changing the order on replacement looks like the
right thing to do.
This patch also refactors the logic for which archive member to keep and
whether to move it to a helper function (computeInsertAction). The
nesting in computeNewArchiveMembers was getting a bit confusing.
llvm-svn: 186829
This is a micro optimization. Instead of going char*->StringRef->Twine->char*,
go char*->Twine->char* and avoid having to copy the filename on the stack.
llvm-svn: 186380
This fixes two bugs is lib/Object that the use in llvm-ar found:
* In OS X created archives, the name can be padded with nulls. Strip them.
* In the constructor, remember the first non special member and use that in
begin_children. This makes sure we skip all special members, not just the
first one.
The change to llvm-ar itself consist of
* Using lib/Object for reading archives instead of ArchiveReader.cpp.
* Writing the modified archive directly, instead of creating an in memory
representation.
The old Archive library was way more general than what is needed, as can
be seen by the diffstat of this patch.
Having llvm-ar using lib/Object now opens the way for creating regular symbol
tables for both native objects and bitcode files so that we can use those
archives for LTO.
llvm-svn: 186197
* All systems we support have some form of long name support.
* The options has different names and semantics in different implementations
('f' on gnu, 'T' on OS X), which makes it unlikely it is normally used on
build systems.
* It was completely untested.
llvm-svn: 186078
This matches GNU ar behavior. Also remove the now unused getFileStatus method.
Not sure how to add a test, it would have to run ls -l or something like that.
llvm-svn: 184337
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".

into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.

Again, tools are trickier to pick the main module header for than
library source files. I've started to follow the pattern of using
LLVMContext.h when it is included as a stub for program source files.

Always use an exit code of 1, but print the help message if useful.
