As discussed in: * https://reviews.llvm.org/D94166 * https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-September/145031.html The GlobalIndirectSymbol class lost most of its meaning in https://reviews.llvm.org/D109792, which disambiguated getBaseObject (now getAliaseeObject) between GlobalIFunc and everything else. In addition, as long as GlobalIFunc is not a GlobalObject and getAliaseeObject returns GlobalObjects, a GlobalAlias whose aliasee is a GlobalIFunc cannot currently be modeled properly. Creating aliases for GlobalIFuncs does happen in the wild (e.g. glibc). In addition, calling getAliaseeObject on a GlobalIFunc will currently return nullptr, which is undesirable because it should return the object itself for non-aliases. This patch refactors the GlobalIFunc class to inherit directly from GlobalObject, and removes GlobalIndirectSymbol (while inlining the relevant parts into GlobalAlias and GlobalIFunc). This allows for calling getAliaseeObject() on a GlobalIFunc to return the GlobalIFunc itself, making getAliaseeObject() more consistent and enabling alias-to-ifunc to be properly modeled in the IR. I exercised some judgement in the API clients of GlobalIndirectSymbol: some were 'monomorphized' for GlobalAlias and GlobalIFunc, and some remained shared (with the type adapted to become GlobalValue).

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // C Language Family Front-end //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// Welcome to Clang. This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project. Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer. If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant web sites. Here are some pointers: Information on Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/ Building and using Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html Clang Static Analyzer: http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/ Information on the LLVM project: http://llvm.org/ If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is on the Clang development mailing list: http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev If you find a bug in Clang, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker: http://llvm.org/bugs/
