Summary

Details:
calling getMemoryBufferRef() on an empty archive can sometimes trigger segfault so the code should check before calling this.
this seems like a bug in the Archive API but that can be fixed separately.

P.S: follow up to D156468

Is there a test case? When is "sometimes"?

Is there a test case? When is "sometimes"?

reducing the test-case further, I think it's safe to change "sometimes" => "100% of the time".
Test case is simply linking with at least one empty archive in the input

(empty archive produced by llvm-ar --format=darwin rcs libempty.a
This will produce an empty archive but the ::isEmpty() method on the API doesn't return true, so getBufferRef() would crash.)

Typo: BUffer -> Buffer

I think this would be cleaner as an early return, instead of nesting everything else inside it, since zero symbols should mean the loop below is a no-op as well.

Thanks!
Fixed typo and moved the numberOfSymbols check to beginning.
(Still need the nested if,unfortunately, because we dont want to access the child if there was error )
