Summary

From the VS2022 release notes, it sounds like newer MSVC versions are using SHA256 for these checksums: (search for "SHA-256" in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2022/release-notes#17.0.0)

Since D75785 laid the groundwork, let's hook it up.

While here, I noticed llvm::SHA256 doesn't have a method to get the hash as a hex string, like llvm::MD5. But we can use llvm::toHex() and actually that could be made more efficient and llvm::MD5 could use that too.

After sending this, I realized we should probably have a test to make sure it gets all the way into the .o and .pdb files correctly...

And, maybe we should hook up the /ZH flag? (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/zh?view=msvc-170&preserve-view=true still says MD5 is default, but I guess that's just out of date)

I submitted a change last year to hook up the /ZH option, but it was never completed. https://reviews.llvm.org/D98438

I think it's worth taking the time to hook up /ZH. Sorry we missed the patch last March.

I just put some comments on that. I'm happy to provide review if you think you have time to complete it?

(I'll break out the toHex() related changes here and try to get those landed separately.)
