The behavior of an undefined weak reference is implementation defined.
For static -no-pie linking, dynamic relocations are generally avoided (except
IRELATIVE). -shared linking generally emits dynamic relocations.
Dynamic -no-pie linking and -pie allow flexibility. Changes adjust the
behavior for better consistency and simpler internal representation,
e.g. https://reviews.llvm.org/D63003 https://reviews.llvm.org/D105164
(generalized to undefined non-weak in
2fcaa00d1e).
GNU ld introduced -z [no]dynamic-undefined-weak option to fine-tune the
behavior. (The option is not very effective with -no-pie, e.g. on
x86-64, `ld.bfd a.o s.so -z dynamic-undefined-weak` generates
R_X86_64_NONE relocations instead of GLOB_DAT/JUMP_SLOT)
This patch implements -z [no]dynamic-undefined-weak option.
The effects are summarized as follows:
* Static -no-pie: no-op
* Dynamic -no-pie: nodynamic-undefined-weak suppresses GLOB_DAT/JUMP_SLOT
* Static -pie: dynamic-undefined-weak generates ABS/GLOB_DAT/JUMP_SLOT.
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/lld-weak-undefined-symbols-in-vdso-only/86749
* Dynamic -pie: nodynamic-undefined-weak suppresses ABS/GLOB_DAT/JUMP_SLOT
The -pie behavior likely stays stable while -no-pie (`!ctx.arg.isPic` in
`isStaticLinkTimeConstant`) behavior will likely change in the future.
The current default value of ctx.arg.zDynamicUndefined is selected to
prevent behavior changes.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
