Summary

This patch is extracted from D96035, it adds support for the accelerator
tables to the DWARFLinkerParallel functionality.

friendly ping.

Let some minor comments, @JDevlieghere should probably take a look, too.

Document what the variant cases mean?

Can this loop indefinitely if the input DWARF has circular references?

addressed comments(documented CUs parameter, replaced check for nullptr, used foreach loop, added check for infinite loop in case bad DWARF).

I haven't paid much attention to phab since the github transition. This is a pretty big patch, I'll do a first pass today.

Very cool

Maybe add an inline comment /*CanResolveInterCUReferences=*/ or we can use an enum like this:

enum ResolveInterCUReferences : bool {
  CanResolveInterCUReferences = true,
  CannotResolveInterCUReferences = false,
};
llvm/lib/DWARFLinkerParallel/DIEAttributeCloner.h
23–28

Can we continue to do the initialization inline?

llvm/lib/DWARFLinkerParallel/DWARFLinkerCompileUnit.cpp

10 seems relatively small. What about something like 100 or 1000? Its only purpose is avoiding infinite recursion, right? Might as well pick something that's basically impossible to hit.

FWIW, I don't think we need to keep any dsymutil-classic compatibility in the parallel linker. There's no way it's going to generate bit-identical output so there's no value in keeping bug-for-bug compat.

After C++20 would be supported :-) AFAIK, The default bitfield member initialization is a C++20 feature.

Probably, we can remove bitfields usages here as in current configuration they do not buy anything.
