Summary

This is another patch that originated from the full GSYM patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D53379.

This patch adds the llvm::gsym::Header class which appears at the start of a stand alone GSYM file, or in the first bytes of the GSYM data in a GSYM section within a file. Added encode and decode methods with full error handling and full tests.

Any reason you prefer isValid over operator bool?

As usual, I'm going to point out that it may be nicer to have the parser return an Expected<Header> instead of a header that may be invalid.

This is because people will create a Header using information retrieved from another source, like DWARF, breakpad or compiler metadata. Once the header has been populated, it might get emitted. Also, for native endianness, we won't be parsing these, we will just be mmap'ing the data and getting a pointer to the start of the GSYM data. In this case, we will call this function to ensure the GSYM header is good. Note that the encode and decode functions do the right thing. This function will be used by clients that mmap and try to use the data as is.

Mostly in case this is used internally inside the class. I hate seeing:

if (*this)

I would rather see:

if (isValid())
