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.

Looks like -L paths are not positional. They need to be added to a list of
search paths and those needs to be searched when lld looks for a library.
llvm-svn: 195594
This adds LinkerScript support by creating a type Script which is of type
FileNode in the InputGraph. Once the LinkerScript Parser converts the
LinkerScript into a sequence of command, the commands are handled by the
equivalent LinkerScript node for the current Flavor/Target. For ELF, a
ELFGNULdScript gets created which converts the commands to ELF nodes and ELF
control nodes(ELFGroup for handling Group nodes).
Since the Inputfile type has to be determined in the Driver, the Driver needs
to determine the complete path of the file that needs to be processed by the
Linker. Due to this, few tests have been removed since the Driver uses paths
that doesnot exist.
llvm-svn: 195583
This associates resolveState to FileNodes. The control node derive
their resolution state from the inputElements that are contained in
it.
This makes --start-group/--end-group to work with ELF linking.
llvm-svn: 192269
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 adds an option --output-filetype that can be set to either
YAML/Native(case insensitive). The linker would create the outputs
associated with the type specified by the user.
Changes all the tests to use the new option.
llvm-svn: 191183
GNU LD driver only understood no_such_file_or_directory error and was showing
just "Unknown Error" for any other type of error. With this patch, the driver
now prints file name and error message string by default.
llvm-svn: 191070
attribute in LinkerInput to isWholeArchive and use that for deciding
whether library archives should be expanded. Implement the -all_load
option of the Darwin linker using this flag and drop the support for it
in GNU mode.
llvm-svn: 190275
Before this patch, name of driver implementation is not consistent with its
option table file. Specifically, LDOptions has a different prefix than
GnuLdDriver.
This patch renames option files, so that the option files have the same prefix
as the corresponding driver files.

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
This creates .init_array/.fini_array section for X86_64 ELF
targets and executes init/fini functions specified by the
-init/-fini options respectively.
llvm-svn: 189719
This adds an API to the LinkingContext for flavors to add Internal files
containing atoms that need to appear in the YAML output as well, when -emit-yaml
switch is used.
Flavors can add more internal files for other options that are needed.
llvm-svn: 189718
Also change some local variable names: "ti" -> "context" and
"_targetInfo" -> "_context".

This renames variable name to reflect initial undefined symbols that are
defined by the linker -u option.
This doesnot change any functionality in lld, and updates code to reflect
Nick's comment.
llvm-svn: 184682
Users can override the default value of the dynamic linker to be set to the
one that appears in the command line. The path can even be empty!.
Added a test for the option.
llvm-svn: 182889
to the list of undefined atoms.
The processing of undefined atoms from dynamic libraries is controlled by
use-shlib-undefines command line option.
This patch also adds additional command line arguments to allow/disallow
unresolved symbols from shared libraries and mimics GNU ld behavior.
llvm-svn: 179257
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.
