We used to parse the LLVM options in Driver::link. However, that is
after parse() where we load files. By moving the LLVM option handling
earlier, we can add DEBUG() to code such as MachONormalizedFileToAtoms.cpp
and have it enabled correctly by '-mllvm --debug'.

The Native file format was designed to be the fastest on-memory or
on-disk file format for object files. The problem is that no one
is working on that. No LLVM tools can produce object files in
the Native, thus the feature of supporting the format is useless
in the linker.
This patch removes the Native file support. We can add it back
if we really want it in future.

Before this patch there was a cyclic dependency between lldCore and
lldReaderWriter. Only lldConfig could be built as a shared library.
* Moved Reader and Writer base classes into lldCore.
* The following shared libraries can now be built:
lldCore
lldYAML
lldNative
lldPasses
lldReaderWriter

InputElement was named that because it's an element of an InputGraph.
It's losing the origin because the InputGraph is now being removed.
InputElement's subclass is FileNode, that naming inconsistency needed
to be fixed.

They were the last member functions of InputGraph (besides members()).
Now InputGraph is just a container of a vector. We are ready to replace
InputGraph with plain File vector.

The original commit had an issue with Mac OS dylib files. It didn't
handle fat binary dylib files correctly. This patch includes a fix.
A test for that case has already been committed in r225764.
llvm-svn: 226123
r225764 broke a basic functionality on Mac OS. This change reverts
r225764, r225766, r225767, r225769, r225814, r225816, r225829, and r225832.

This is a part of InputGraph cleanup to represent input files as a flat
list of Files (and some meta-nodes for group etc.)
We cannot achieve that goal in one gigantic patch, so I split the task
into small steps as shown below.
(Recap the progress so far: Currently InputGraph contains a list of
InputElements. Each InputElement contain one File (that used to have
multiple Files, but I eliminated that use case in r223867). Files are
currently instantiated in Driver::link(), but I already made a change
to separate file parsing from object instantiation (r224102), so we
can safely instantiate Files when we need them, instead of wrapping
a file with the wrapper class (FileNode class). InputGraph used to
act like a generator class by interpreting groups by itself, but it's
now just a container of a list of InputElements (r223867).)
1. Instantiate Files in the driver and wrap them with WrapperNode.
WrapperNode is a temporary class that allows us to instantiate Files
in the driver while keep using the current InputGraph data structure.
This patch demonstrates how this step 1 looks like, using Core driver
as an example.
2. Do the same thing for the other drivers.
When step 2 is done, an InputGraph consists of GroupEnd objects or
WrapperNodes each of which contains one File. Other types of
FileNode subclasses are removed.
3. Replace InputGraph with std::vector<std::unique_ptr<InputElement>>.
InputGraph is already just a container of list of InputElements,
so this step removes that needless class.
4. Remove WrapperNode.
We need some code cleanup between each step, because many classes
do a bit odd things (e.g. InputGraph::getGroupSize()). I'll straight
things up as I need to.
llvm-svn: 225313
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.

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.

Changes :-
a) Functionality in InputGraph to insert Input elements at any position
b) Functionality in the Resolver to use nextFile
c) Move the functionality of assigning file ordinals to InputGraph
d) Changes all inputs to MemoryBuffers
e) Remove LinkerInput, InputFiles, ReaderArchive
llvm-svn: 192081
This patch inverts the return value of these functions, so that they return
"true" on success and "false" on failure. The meaning of boolean return value
was mixed in LLD; for example, InputGraph::validate() returns true on success.
With this patch they'll become consistent.

This changes the interface of createLinkerInput to use ErrorOr, so that
errors from the linker can be captured.
Also adds a convenience function for error strings to be returned from
file nodes.
llvm-svn: 189871
Also change some local variable names: "ti" -> "context" and
"_targetInfo" -> "_context".

The major changes are:
1) LinkerOptions has been merged into TargetInfo
2) LinkerInvocation has been merged into Driver
3) Drivers no longer convert arguments into an intermediate (core) argument
list, but instead create a TargetInfo object and call setter methods on
it. This is only how in-process linking would work. That is, you can
programmatically set up a TargetInfo object which controls the linking.
4) Lots of tweaks to test suite to work with driver changes
5) Add the DarwinDriver
6) I heavily doxygen commented TargetInfo.h
Things to do after this patch is committed:
a) Consider renaming TargetInfo, given its new roll.
b) Consider pulling the list of input files out of TargetInfo. This will
enable in-process clients to create one TargetInfo the re-use it with
different input file lists.
c) Work out a way for Drivers to format the warnings and error done in
core linking.
