[ELF] Avoid false-positive assert in getErrPlace()
ClosedPublic

Authored by arichardson on Jan 12 2020, 6:25 AM.

Details

Summary

This assertion was added as part of D70659 but did not account for .bss
input sections. I noticed that this assert was incorrectly triggering
while building FreeBSD for MIPS64. Fixed by relaxing the assert to also
account for SHT_NOBITS input sections and adjust the test
mips-jalr-non-function.s to link a file with a .bss section first.

FTR, SHT_NOBITS sections have nullptr as .data().data() because:

template <class ELFT>
static ArrayRef<uint8_t> getSectionContents(ObjFile<ELFT> &file,
                                            const typename ELFT::Shdr &hdr) {
  if (hdr.sh_type == SHT_NOBITS)
    return makeArrayRef<uint8_t>(nullptr, hdr.sh_size);
  return check(file.getObj().getSectionContents(&hdr));
}

# RUN: ld.lld -shared %t-common.o %t.o -o %t.so 2>&1 | FileCheck %s -check-prefix WARNING-MESSAGE

The RUN lines are the only needed change. Changes below (e.g. .comm common_sym,4,4) are unneeded.

Remove unncessary changes.

I originally made those because I though I could avoid an additional input file, but it appears that the .bss section is only iterated over later. Depending on this order is fragile anyway so adding another file first is better.

I could also add the || (isec->type & SHT_NOBITS) to this if? Is that preferable?

Agree. || (isec->type & SHT_NOBITS) here is preferable.

+1.

nit: I do not think we mention function names in tests. They might change.
I think just saying that LLD asserted with this test case because of .bss is enough probably.
No need to specify the exact code place.

Move to if() above and update commment in test

Should this be cherry-picked to the release branch?

Looks like a good candidate. Is @hans responsible for pushing a commit to release/10.x?
