[LTO] Switch to the new resolution-based API.

Details

Summary

This should be all the logic. Before reviewing the style/code appeareance, I'd like to ensure that this is the right direction, thanks.

Left to be done:

  • There are two tests failing, the one which include inline asm (currently investigating).
  • The old LTO code wasn't removed yet. I found that it makes the patch less readable, and that can be removed separately.

I want to see the old code being removed in this patch to see deltas.

Fair enough, I'll do that tomorrow.

Back to more interesting business, the two asm inline tests that are failing are also failing with the gold plugin, so that might inidcate a bug in lib/LTO. Here's a synthetic testcase.

$ /usr/bin/ld.gold -shared -m elf_x86_64 -o /home/davide/work/llvm/build/test/tools/gold/X86/Output/module_asm.ll.tmp2 -plugin /home/davide/work/llvm/build/./lib/LLVMgold.so /home/davide/work/llvm/build/test/tools/gold/X86/Output/module_asm.ll.tmp.o
ld.gold: ../lib/Linker/IRMover.cpp:1240: llvm::Error (anonymous namespace)::IRLinker::run(): Assertion `!GV->isDeclaration()' failed.
; RUN: llvm-as %s -o %t.o
; RUN: %gold -shared -m elf_x86_64 -o %t2 -plugin %llvmshlibdir/LLVMgold.so %t.o

target datalayout = "e-m:e-i64:64-f80:128-n8:16:32:64-S128"
target triple = "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"

module asm ".weak patatino"
module asm ".equ patatino, foo"

declare void @patatino()

define void @foo() {
  ret void
}

define void @_start() {
  call void @patatino()
  ret void
}

I opened a report for the gold-plugin bug (https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=30363). I'll take a closer look tomorrow.

Davide,

Sure. Go ahead with your patch first.

This patch contains complex code with almost no comment. Please explain in the code about what you are doing.

ELF/SymbolTable.cpp
116–120 ↗(On Diff #71405)

Why don't you keep the old interface and replace only the content of LTO.cpp? I think that was a good separation.

ELF/SymbolTable.cpp
213 ↗(On Diff #71405)

You should replace all uses of IRObjectFile elsewhere with lto::InputFile. Then you won't need to create a new InputFile here, you can just reuse the one in the BitcodeFile.

225 ↗(On Diff #71405)

You shouldn't need to do this, see r281437.

234 ↗(On Diff #71405)

This isn't right, this should test whether the SymbolBody is a DefinedBitcode and is defined by this BitcodeFile.

252 ↗(On Diff #71405)

There's no need to save objects to files, you can just use raw_string_ostream and operate on the object file directly in memory.

davide updated this revision to Diff 72753.Sep 27 2016, 6:56 PM

Addressed comments. I'm working to remove the call to getComdatSymbolTable(). Other than that it should be ready for another look.

You can use GlobalValue::VisibilityTypes to make the argument type clear.

642 ↗(On Diff #72753)

static

644 ↗(On Diff #72753)

You don't need the llvm:: prefixes.
Do you really want a StringSaver by value?

655 ↗(On Diff #72753)

Simplify to just

uint8_t Type = ObjSym.isTLS() ? STT_TLS : STT_NOTYPE;

656 ↗(On Diff #72753)

Simplify to

uint8_t Visibility = mapVisibility(ObjSym.getVisibility());

661 ↗(On Diff #72753)

You have lost HasUnnamedAddr. Where do you compensate for that?

Rafael's comments.

lld/ELF/InputFiles.cpp
661 ↗(On Diff #72753)

I think it's not needed anymore becuase lib/LTO will compute it based on GlobalResolution.
I'm garbage collecting it for now.

You are not using Msg.

lld/ELF/LTO.cpp
150 ↗(On Diff #72851)

Filenames is not a large vector, so please use std::string for simplicity.

155–156 ↗(On Diff #72851)

I'd make getOutputFilename a pure function that returns std::string so that we can do

Filenames[Task] = getOutputFilename(Filename, MaxTasks > 1 ? Task : -1);

Rui's comments.

lld/ELF/LTO.cpp
150 ↗(On Diff #72851)

Once you make the change below, Filenames will be unused and you can remove it.

166 ↗(On Diff #72851)

This could be if (!Buff[I].empty()), then you can make this a for-range loop.

You don't need the llvm prefix.

67 ↗(On Diff #72851)

Just inline the variable into the single use.

88 ↗(On Diff #72851)

You don't need the ()

122 ↗(On Diff #72851)

Add a comment on why you need the undefined check.

You could just assign without the if statement here and below.

hmm, I still need I to be passed to saveBuffer, no? Do you want me to use a separate variable incremented at each iteration?

No, sorry, what you have is fine.

I would remove this comment as it doesn't help readers understand the code.

Remove ().

lld/ELF/LTO.cpp
85–88 ↗(On Diff #72870)

Remove llvm::.

I don't think your code is prepared to see LtoObj being null. Maybe you want to return a new instance regardless of HasError value?

101–102 ↗(On Diff #72870)

Why do you want to return here immediately if there was an error before this function?

hmm, no, just clang-formatted incorrectly. Weird as I have a pre-hook for that that didn't kick in.

It seems that it is still formatted weirdly.

run clang-format manually and it seems fine on my side.
