Summary

Add a -name-whitelist option, which behaves in the same way as -name, but it reads in multiple function names from the given input file(s).

Just a reminder: please make sure that name_whitelist.covmapping is derived from an object built with -mllvm -enable-name-compression=false. I've been bitten by that before :) (not all the bots have zlib installed).

In the future, we might benefit from the flexibility offered by llvm::SpecialCaseList. Could you use that to parse the whitelist?

Thanks for the review!

Having to specify a section for each item seems redundant for an option that only filters on function names, e.g.

fun:foo
fun:bar

Are you considering having a more general -whitelist rather than a -name-whitelist? Otherwise I'm not sure what other sections there would be. The wildcard handling would be useful though.

I agree that it's a little redundant, but think that it shouldn't be too onerous. E.g the section names can be added in by a quick shell one-liner. The potential benefit is that you can have one file for {white, black}listing {functions, files, directories}. To that end, I suggest using more specific section names like "whitelist_fun:".

Change to use SpecialCaseList and add documentation of new option.

nitpick: Can this method be marked const?
