This is, as far as I know, the only other aux symbol whose contents we need to update based on how llvm-objcopy rewrites the files. (We already handle coff_aux_section_definition.)

---|---|---|
26–27 | If these two fields aren't required, it would be nice to get rid of them. | |
tools/llvm-objcopy/COFF/Reader.cpp | ||
155–156 | Use createStringError instead of make_error<StringError> | |
159–160 | Ditto. | |
tools/llvm-objcopy/COFF/Writer.cpp | ||
78 | This seems like a weird condition. Could you explain it please (e.g. with a comment). | |
83–85 | Ditto. In this case, you can then take advantage of the printf-style overload to avoid the string concatenation here. Also putting some quotes around the symbol name might be good, especially if it's theoretically possible to have spaces in your symbol names in COFF. |
test/tools/llvm-objcopy/COFF/weak-external.test | ||
---|---|---|
26–27 | Apparently the test works even without them - will remove. | |
tools/llvm-objcopy/COFF/Reader.cpp | ||
155–156 | Ok, I can change that. I've used a lot of make_error<StringError> so far in the COFF backend, so there's a number of other occurrances of it that I could change in a separate patch if you prefer that as well? (And there's one instance of it in the ELF subdir.) | |
tools/llvm-objcopy/COFF/Writer.cpp | ||
78 | I can add a comment, sure. The NumberOfAuxSymbols check needs to be at least greater than or equal to one for the code not to write out of bounds, but I've made the check stricter since only exactly equal to one makes sense. | |
83–85 | With printf-style formatting, I'd either need to make the StringRef a null terminated string, or use the %.*s formatting syntax with Sym.Name.size(), Sym.Name.data() or something similar, which kinda negates any convenience of printf-style formatting strings. About quotes around the symbol names - oh, right, yes. It seems I've slipped in a few more of these before as well, I can push an NFC patch that fixes those, the next time I push something. |
tools/llvm-objcopy/COFF/Writer.cpp | ||
---|---|---|
83–85 | Wouldn't that need something like Sym.Name.str().c_str() then? That's also a bit clunky but slightly leaner than the %.*s form. |
tools/llvm-objcopy/COFF/Writer.cpp | ||
---|---|---|
83–85 | Possibly. I can't remember exactly how the internals work. I think I'd prefer it to the current form, because it keeps the pattern simpler. |
Going with %s together with StringRef::str() + .c_str() for formatting. Will use this form for later change to unify on createStringError() then.
