Nothing wrong with reinterpret_cast<llvm::support::ulittle32_t *>(loc),
but that's redundant and not great from readability point of view.
The new functions are wrappers for that kind of reinterpet_casts.
Surprisingly or unsurprisingly, there was no use of big endian read
and write. {read,write}{16,32,64}be have no user. But I think they
still worth to be there in the header for completeness.

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 necessary to support linking a basic program which references symbols
outside of the module itself. Add the import thunk for ARM NT style imports.
This allows us to create the reference. However, it is still insufficient to
generate executables that will run due to base relocations not being emitted for
the import.

The documentation of parseFile() said that "the resulting File
object may take ownership of the MemoryBuffer." So, whether or not
the ownership of a MemoryBuffer would be taken was not clear.
A FileNode (a subclass of InputElement, which is being deprecated)
keeps the ownership if a File doesn't take it.
This patch makes File always take the ownership of a buffer.
Buffers lifespan is not always the same as File instances.
Files are able to deallocate buffers after parsing the contents.

This is a second patch for InputGraph cleanup.
Sorry about the size of the patch, but what I did in this
patch is basically moving code from constructor to a new
method, parse(), so the amount of new code is small.
This has no change in functionality.
We've discussed the issue that we have too many classes
to represent a concept of "file". We have File subclasses
that represent files read from disk. In addition to that,
we have bunch of InputElement subclasses (that are part
of InputGraph) that represent command line arguments for
input file names. InputElement is a wrapper for File.
InputElement has parseFile method. The method instantiates
a File. The File's constructor reads a file from disk and
parses that.
Because parseFile method is called from multiple worker
threads, file parsing is processed in parallel. In other
words, one reason why we needed the wrapper classes is
because a File would start reading a file as soon as it
is instantiated.
So, the reason why we have too many classes here is at
least partly because of the design flaw of File class.
Just like threads in a good threading library, we need
to separate instantiation from "start" method, so that
we can instantiate File objects when we need them (which
should be very fast because it involves only one mmap()
and no real file IO) and use them directly instead of
the wrapper classes. Later, we call parse() on each
file in parallel to let them do actual file IO.
In this design, we can eliminate a reason to have the
wrapper classes.
In order to minimize the size of the patch, I didn't go so
far as to replace the wrapper classes with File classes.
The wrapper classes are still there.
In this patch, we call parse() immediately after
instantiating a File, so this really has no change in
functionality. Eventually the call of parse() should be
moved to Driver::link(). That'll be done in another patch.

We are going to have another type of jump table for the delay-load
import table. In order to prepare for that, we want to factor out
the function handling the jump table. No functionality change.

The implementation of AMD64 relocations was imcomplete
and wrong. On AMD64, we of course have to use AMD64
relocations instead of i386 ones. This patch fixes the
issue.
LLD is now able to link hello64.obj (created from
hello64.asm) against user32.lib and kernel32.lib to
create a Win64 binary.

definition below all of the header #include lines, LLD edition.
IF you want to know more details about this, you can see the recent
commits to Debug.h in LLVM. This is just the LLD segment of a cleanup
I'm doing globally for this macro.
llvm-svn: 206851
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.

This patch won't change the output because the layout of linker internal
atoms is forced by layout-{before,after} references. Ordinals of the linker
internal atoms are not currently used. (That's why it's working even if there
are atoms having the same ordinals.)
llvm-svn: 195610
This patch does not change the meaning of the program, but if something's wrong
in the linker or the compiler and the control reaches to the gap of imported
function table, it will stop immediately because of the presence of INT3. If
NOP, it'd fall through to the next call instruction, which is usually a
completely foreign function call.
llvm-svn: 194860
The import name is not always the same as the symbol name. If the name/type
field in the import header is NOPREFIX or UNDECORATE, we need to strip some
characters from symbol to get its import name.
The Microsoft PE/COFF spec is vague if symbol contains more than two
consecutive characters to be stripped. We used to strip all characters,
but it doesn't seem right as we couldn't link against the system library
because of this name mangling. Looks like we shouldn't strip more than one
character.
llvm-svn: 188154
Also change some local variable names: "ti" -> "context" and
"_targetInfo" -> "_context".

This patch removes hacky mangle() function, which strips all decorations
uncondtitionally. LLD now interprets Import Name/Type field in the import
library properly as described in the Microsoft PE/COFF Spec.
llvm-svn: 187388
This patch adds a new pass, IdataPass, to transform shared atom references
to real references and to construct the .idata section data. With this patch
lld can produce a working Hello World program by linking it against
kernel32.dll and user32.dll.

A hint is an index of the export pointer table in a DLL, at which
PE/COFF loader starts looking for a symbol name. The import library
comes with hints and symbol pairs, and as long as hints are in sync
with the actual symbol table in DLL, the symbols will be resolved
quickly. So, we shouldn't ignore hints but propagate them to an output.
llvm-svn: 185516
This is the first patch toward full DLL support. With this patch, lld can
read .lib file for a DLL.
