[MC] Support labels as offsets in .reloc directive
ClosedPublic

Authored by vstefanovic on Nov 1 2018, 12:38 PM.

Summary

Currently, expressions like

.reloc 1f, R_MIPS_JALR, foo

1: nop

are not allowed, ie. an offset in .reloc can only be absolute value.
This patch adds support for labels as offsets.
If offset is a forward declared label, MCObjectStreamer keeps the fixup locally
and adds it to the fixups vector after the label (and its offset) is defined.
label+number is not supported yet.

Sorry; thanks for noticing.

Init PendingFixup.Sym to nullptr.

While we're at it, supported multiple pending fixups.

LGTM, nit below.

Please delay the commit a bit to get a chance other reviewers to take a look at the patch.

The class can be replaced by struct.

  • Why don't use c++ style class fields initialization?
  • MCSym but McFixup. I think it's better to name either MCSym / MCFixup or McSym / McFixup.

That can be written a bit more briefly:

PendingFixups.emplace_back(&SRE.getSymbol(), DF,
                           MCFixup::create(-1, Expr, Kind, Loc));

One more nit: clear PendingFixups here like we clear PendingLabels in the flushPendingLabels.

It'd be really great if we could handle all of this in the mips backend rather than in general code.

.reloc directive (and setting its offset as label) isn't mips-only feature, GNU as supports it for all the architectures (or at least for x86, arm, ppc).
But if we don't want this in llvm for other arches than mips, we should move it to mips backend.

Addressed comments.

I assume that we do want to keep this feature for all the architectures, if anyone disagrees, please shout.

Re-uploaded the patch with more context.
