Details

Summary

Does a simple merge, where mergeable elements are combined, all others
are appended. Does not apply trickly namespace rules.

Even if C++11 allows this style, I think inserting = like this is more common.

MT_String[] = {
60

Conditionally defining a dtor seems tricky. It is probably better to define this regardless of the presence of libxml and do nothing if libxml is not available.

72

Likewise, always define this variable and don't use it if libxml is not available.

Prefix + Message?

33

I think a better way of writing this without a global variable is this.

for (StringRef S : {"application",         "assembly",  "assemblyIdentity",
                    "compatibility",       "noInherit", "requestedExecutionLevel",
                    "requestedPrivileges", "security",  "trustInfo"}) {
  if (S == ElementName)
    return true;
}
return false;

Don't conditionally define destructor, remove global.

Unfortunately this will cause the sanitizer to complain that "CombinedDoc is never used".

Why do you need this? Looks like you can just concatenate a string before passing it to the ctor.

Format

98

Do you need this reinterpret_cast? It looks like Child->name is of xmlChar * which is a typedef to unsigned char *.

98

Reverse the condition so that you can continue early.

109–110

else if instead of else { if ... }.

Format

Take away extraneous error constructor. Some format changes.

unfortunately const char * and const unsigned char * are technically not related types, and must be casted back and forth to each other.

125

where is format error here?

I think you can remove explicit instantiation of StringRef.

98

Is it done?

125

There wasn't a space between for and (. Now you have it. It is probably worth reviewing your patch yourself on Phabricator after you upload a new one, as I could easily find multiple trivial errors such as indentation errors, and it is easy to find errors on Phab rather than on an editor for some reason. :)

Early return, remove explicit StringRef

Oh sorry I assumed you meant the isMergeableElement should be checked first.

Remove logging.

has -> get

54

Since this function returns not a boolean value but a value itself, get is a better prefix than has.

80–82

The memory you allocate using strdup needs to be freed somewhere using free(). Does your patch do that?

109

Remove Twine from the second expression

116

I don't think you need an explicit instantiation of Twine for the second expression.

117

Add {}.

Usual convention is, if one statement is a block (e.g. enclosed in {})) all statements in the same if ~ else if ~ else ~ should be enclosed with {} as well. E.g. this is fine

if (foo)
  bar;
else
  baz;

and this is also fine

if (foo) {
  bar
} else if (bar) {
  baz
}

but this isn't okay.

if (foo) {
  bar
} else
  baz
138–158

Fix style

143–144

I think we have too many occurrences of this pattern. Can you add a function that compares two xmlStrings?

Readability improvements.

Yes, these strings become part of the node tree structure of the xml document. When xmlFreeDoc() is called by the class destructor these strings should also be freed.

143–144

All the function would do is abstract away the reinterpret_cast. I think with the macro I added for cast it isn't that bad.

Strip all comment and text nodes, not just in elements being merged.

In C++ it is not a very good practice to use a C macro where you can avoid it. I'd probably keep the original reinterpret_casts, but if you like this, I think I'm fine with it.

143–144

What I was suggesting is adding something like this

static bool streq(const unsigned char *A, const unsigned char B) {
  return strcmp((char *)A, (char *)B) == 0;
}

add string compare helper function.

llvm/lib/Support/WindowsManifestMerger.cpp
19–20

I really prefer this, having the entire reinterpret_cast written out every time clutters the code IMO
