Summary

llvm-lib is intended to be a lib.exe compatible utility that also
understands bitcode. The implementation lives in a library so that
lld can use it to implement /lib.

The lib format is really similar to the .a format.

I guess the only question I have about this direction is how would it
compare with having lld fork+exec llvm-lib.exe and implementing
llvm-lib.exe in the same binary as llvm-ar.exe (similar to how we do
for llvm-ranlib.exe).

  • Make llvm-lib an alias of llvm-ar, add Makefiles

  • Add response file support

Why do you need LibDriver? Why not just put these files in tools/llvm-ar?

I'll want to use the lib driver from lld, per our earlier discussion here: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20150601/280581.html

This is fine from the llvm side.

Rui, is this a convenient interface for lld to use?

We really should just move the string saver that rui implemented to llvm and make it the one true string saver.
At least add a fixme about that.

+namespace {
+class StrDupSaver : public cl::StringSaver {

+ std::vector<char *> Dups;

Given we do it all over clang as well it'd be nice, yes.

Let me do that. I'll send a patch later.

I am giving that a try :-)
