198 | What is the tool I can use for testing this? |
lld/ELF/CallGraphSort.cpp | ||
---|---|---|
226 | The order of section is sorted in increasing order, so this does not change the behavior. Because I reuse the sortBySectionOrder of COFF's /orderoption to do sorting (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/lld/COFF/Writer.cpp#L656). It assigns symbols in the given file priorities starting from INT_MIN and non present symbols get priority 0. It also sorts section in increasing order. |
A a few comments/suggestions.
lld/ELF/CallGraphSort.cpp | ||
---|---|---|
104 | Why T and not something like Section, similar to Symbol? | |
lld/ELF/Writer.cpp | ||
1310 ↗ | (On Diff #269659) | I think it is common for LLD ELF to ise sec for sections. So sc -> sec probably. // A comment. auto PrintSymbolOrderPred = [] (...) { ... }; ... return computeCallGraphProfileOrder<InputSectionBase, Symbol>( config->callGraphProfile, config->printSymbolOrder, PrintSymbolOrderPred ); |
lld/include/lld/Common/CallGraphSort.h | ||
63 ↗ | (On Diff #269659) | There is no /callgraph-profile-file option in ELF (it has --call-graph-ordering-file). Since this is a common code, comments should be applicable for all platforms. |
72 ↗ | (On Diff #269659) | I think it needs a comment about what is printSymbolOrder and what is cond for. cond here is used as a filter predicate for --print-symbol-order. Its name is probably not clear. |
I am also not sure it is a good thing to do. It seems makes LLD ELF code a bit less readable.
I do not really like how --print-symbol-order is handled with this.
Parametric generalization on InputSection and Symbol may not be a good idea but they are very different in ELF and COFF. ICF.cpp is an example where we could reuse code but we choose not to.
If it is not clear reusing code will be beneficial, I think we can duplicate code for now. The algorithm is simple and there is not much duplication anyway.
I agree to adopt how ICF.cpp does.
roll back to previous version to have CallGraphSort in both ELF and COFF.
This is looking good to me overall. Just some minor comments.
lld/COFF/CallGraphSort.cpp | ||
---|---|---|
12 | Even if we're duplicating the code, I would suggest not duplicating the full comment, but put something like "this is based on the ELF port, see lld/ELF/CallGraphSort.cpp" or something like that. | |
73 | Since the constructor initializes size, maybe the initializer here could be dropped? | |
95 | I think it's fine to start by copying these values from ELF, and possibly tuning in the future. | |
118 | The "SB" here and otherwhere is a bit confusing since I guess it stands for SectionBase in the original code, but here we're using SectionChunk. Maybe instead of "SB", "Sec" would be more clear? | |
198 | Since this is a port of the ELF code, I think re-using the coefficient is fine, and tuning can be done later. | |
226 | Since starting from INT_MIN here is different than in ELF, I think it would be good to at least have a comment explaining why. | |
227 | I see the ELF code also has no curly braces around the for loop, but I think it would help readability, so I'd suggest adding them both here and in the original code. | |
253 | Instead of nesting the if's maybe use "if (a && b)". Also maybe a comment about what you're filtering for here would be helpful. | |
lld/COFF/Driver.cpp | ||
945 | ELF calls maybeWarnUnorderableSymbol() here, but I suppose there's no corresponding concept for COFF? | |
lld/test/COFF/cgprofile-icf.s | ||
3 | Could you add a comment here that explains the intention of the test? | |
lld/test/COFF/cgprofile-txt.s | ||
3 | A short comment here which explains what the test is testing would be useful. |
lld/COFF/Driver.cpp | ||
---|---|---|
945 | maybeWarnUnorderableSymbol is not useful. You can omit it for COFF. The list is usually generated by the compilers - in very few circumstances a user specifies it. There is not much point diagnosing unneeded symbols in the linker. | |
lld/ELF/CallGraphSort.cpp | ||
71 | uint64_t may be better. size_t is 32-bit on a 32-bit platform, while you want a 64-bit value here. |
Remove trailing empty lines.
lld/test/COFF/cgprofile-txt.s | ||
---|---|---|
21 | The complete output is like the following, so there is a gap. 140001000 t .text 140001000 T B 140001001 t .text 140001001 T C 140001002 t .text 140001002 T D 140001003 t .text 140001003 T A 140001004 t .text |
Add option /call-graph-profile-sort in lld-link to read CGProfile data from object file (default on), equivalent to --call-graph-profile-sort in ld.lld.
I added some more very minor comments, but overall this looks good to me. Please wait for maskray to sign off too, though.
There doesn't seem to be good documentation for the ELF feature that I could find. I'm not sure where the best way to add it would be (lld's man page?) but if you want, that would be a good thing to improve.

246 | The order could also come from the object files, right? I mean it doesn't have to be specified y /call-graph-ordering-file (but I guess the output is useful for passing to the flag) |

246 | Yes. |
