[lib/ObjectYAML] - Improve and cleanup error reporting in ELFState<ELFT> class.

[grimar]

Summary

The aim of this patch is to refactor how we handle and report error.

I suggest to use the same approach we use in LLD: delayed error reporting.
For that I introduced 'HasError' flag which triggers when we report an error.
Now we do not exit instantly on any error. The benefits are:

1. There are no more 'exit(1)' calls in the library code.
2. Code was simplified significantly in a few places.
3. It is now possible to print multiple errors instead of only one.

Also, I changed the messages to be lower case and removed a full stop.

[jhenderson]

Thanks for working on this. I think you need a few more tests to show that we no longer exit(1) where we previously were (i.e. that we can report multiple error messages). I see you have one for relocation references, but there are several other places that need testing too.

Maybe you could have this function return void, and then have the caller check HasErrors?

459

Adding a test case to show that we can report multiple errors for this issue would be good.

595

This might be a bit of a bigger task than you had hoped for, and I'm okay if you want to push this suggestion to a later change, but it would be great if this could call some form of error handler passed in by the client of the library instead of directly calling WithColor::error(). That way the client can control how the errors are reported. See my lightning talk on error handling in libraries from the US conference a couple of years ago.

Regardless, setting HasError here seems fine, and obviously a default option of WithColor::error() is sensible.

612

Maybe this could be a continue instead of a return. That way all unknown sections will be picked up.

724–725

Maybe it's worth having something like this comment in toSymbolIndex?

[grimar]

• Addressed review comments, added test cases.
• Added single quotes around symbol name in the error message: "unknown section referenced ... by YAML symbol 'X'". This matches another messages tool reports.

lib/ObjectYAML/ELFEmitter.cpp

422–423

Yes, this is probably better.

459

Done.

595

I'll be happy to investigate it deeper and suggest a follow-up patch to add a custom error handler to this lib.

724–725

I added a comment.

I think we need a test case showing this can be called even after an earlier sh_link fails (e.g. two sections with bad sh_link values).

386

Arguably, the same goes for each of the changes here too - if the writeSectionContent can fail for a given section type, we should have a test showing that the loop continues.

716

It might be interesting to have a test case showing that a bad sh_info and an unknown symbol index are both reported for the same relocation section. Up to you.

774

Perhaps worth a test for a bad symbol and multiple bad section indexes in the same section.

947–948

Could this just be a continue and this function return void?

Done in section-link.yaml.

386

I am not sure it worth testing so hard honestly.

There is nothing like

if (HasError)
  return;

around, so I think no reason to assume that loop can terminate.
It feels that testing a single writeSectionContent should be enough.

However, the current situation is following.
writeSectionContent can fail for:

1. writeSectionContent(...const ELFYAML::DynamicSection &Section...)

It is tested in: dynamic-section-raw-content.yaml

2. writeSectionContent(...const ELFYAML::RelocationSection &Section...)

I added a test to reloc-sec-info.yaml

3. writeSectionContent(...const ELFYAML::Group &Section...)

It is tested in: elf-comdat-broken-info.yaml

716

I added a test to reloc-sec-info.yaml

774

I added elf-comdat-broken-members.yaml.

947–948

Yes, done.

Yes, done.

Instead of HasError, have you thought using an integer (int errorCount = 0;) ?

[MaskRay]

lib/ObjectYAML/ELFEmitter.cpp

117

Sorry, int ErrorCount = 0;

Is there a case that many errors may be accumulated? If yes, we may need an ErrorLimit. We certainly don't need ErrorLimit in this patch, but using ErrorCount may prevent a future rename HasError -> ErrorCount..

I'd do this when we need it. It is not clear how much it is useful, since it is not the same case as we have in linker: I do not think there can be many errors in a hand written YAML document. And probably no need to limit them.
obj2yaml is assumed to produce only valid YAMLs too.

test/tools/yaml2obj/dynamic-section-raw-content.yaml

Yes, you're right here and below. I'll update the diff in my next week or tomorrow.

[MaskRay]

LG once you remove the redundant -o %t2 in a few places.

lib/ObjectYAML/ELFEmitter.cpp

I was just checking whether we'll eventually do that. So using the final variable name can prevent a future rename. You make the call. I haven't put much thought on that, either.
