Details

Summary

Its a PR34648 which was a segfault that happened because
we stored pointers to elements in DenseMap.
When DenseMap grows such pointers are invalidated.
Solution implemented is to keep elements by pointer
and not by value.

LGTM

This is a pretty bad bug, I was a bit surprised that it doesn't crash except the situation described in https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34648. It could have been silently creating corrupted outputs, I guess. It seems scary.

Should we backport it to LLD 5.0.x branch somehow ? 5.0.1 I guess.
