---|---|---|
2 | Note to self: I still need to review the tests. | |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/CopyConfig.cpp | ||
833–836 | This seems like an unnecessary limitation to me. I'd just expect it to ignore the later ones (you could use a set rather than a vector to store the set to remove in to ensure that). | |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/InstallNameToolOpts.td | ||
22 | I'd get rid of "old" from the text. We don't say "old" for e.g. --remove-section in objcopy. | |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/MachOObjcopy.cpp | ||
26–45 | This whole block seems unnecessarily overcomplicated to me.
| |
50–51 | I'd rephrase this comment slightly: "Emit an error if the Mach-O binary does not contain an rpath path name specified in -delete_rpath." | |
52 | In every other remove operation within objcopy, we don't emit an error if a switch had no effect because the named section/symbol etc wasn't present. Do we really need this error message? Getting rid of it would allow us to further simplify logic above. |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/CopyConfig.cpp | ||
---|---|---|
839 | since we are already in the namespace llvm you can simply use is_contained | |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/MachOObjcopy.cpp | ||
26–45 | After some thinking it seems to me that having the original list of specified rpaths can be useful since it enables us to report the first option causing the issue. If we drop that error reporting then indeed it makes sense to simply use StringSet for storing RPATHs in CopyConfig and use that set directly. 2., 3. - I also think that !Config.RPathsToRemove.empty() is unnecessary If I am not mistaken there is a tiny bug in buildRPathLoadCommand function (I've just spotted it) - would be good to fix separately. RPathLC.cmdsize = alignTo(sizeof(MachO::rpath_command) + Path.size(), 8); should be replaced with RPathLC.cmdsize = alignTo(sizeof(MachO::rpath_command) + Path.size() + 1, 8); this is what LD64 does (see ld64/src/ld/HeaderAndLoadCommands.hpp) : template <typename A> uint8_t* HeaderAndLoadCommandsAtom<A>::copyRPathLoadCommand(uint8_t* p, const char* path) const { uint32_t sz = alignedSize(sizeof(macho_rpath_command<P>) + strlen(path) + 1); macho_rpath_command<P>* cmd = (macho_rpath_command<P>*)p; cmd->set_cmd(LC_RPATH); cmd->set_cmdsize(sz); cmd->set_path_offset(); strcpy((char*)&p[sizeof(macho_rpath_command<P>)], path); return p + sz; } | |
52 | I think the intention here is to catch the case when e.g. there is a typo in the paths specified by the command-line arguments and report an error rather than silently leave the binary untouched. I can see pros and cons with the both approaches, if I am not mistaken Xcode's install-name-tool returns an error (similarly to what's done here). |

833–836 | So currently, I have modeled the behavior according to Apples' install_name_tool and it throws this error in case the user specifies a delete_rpath entry twice. I can change it though if this is not we want? | |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/MachOObjcopy.cpp | ||
52 | yup, Apple's install_name_tool throws this error in case it can't find the rpath. It says in the specification too : -delete_rpath old ... If the Mach-O binary does not contains the old rpath path name specified in -delete_rpath it is an error. |

26–45 | 4 - for using trim(0), I was looking at RPath == StringRef(reinterpret_cast<char *>(LC.Payload.data()),LC.Payload.size().trim(0)) at line 264 under Config.RPathToAdd. Is that not how I should be doing it? Thanks | |
26–45 | @alexshap - ya, I can push a fix for it separately. |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/MachOObjcopy.cpp | ||
---|---|---|
26–45 | pushed the fix at https://reviews.llvm.org/D81575 |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/CopyConfig.cpp | ||
---|---|---|
833–836 | Yeah. There's some tension here between following standard objcopy conventions vs. emulating the behavior of Apple's install_name_tool (which this is an LLVM version of). In general, we thought it was best to match install_name_tool's behavior as much as possible, although I don't feel too strongly about this particular error case. | |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/MachOObjcopy.cpp | ||
52 | I do feel strongly about this case, however :) I feel like not erroring in this case would be a pretty major divergence from Apple install_name_tool's behavior. Our goal is for llvm-install-name-tool to be a drop-in replacement for Apple's install_name_tool, and having similar error conditions is an important part of that. |
llvm/test/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/install-name-tool-delete-rpath.test | ||
---|---|---|
5–6 | I could possibly be persuaded, but I'm not convinced you need this input validation check, if I'm honest. Presumably yaml2obj will have some testing that shows the output is as expected for this case, so all this is doing is showing you can write your input correctly. But even that is not necessary - your later test cases actually do this already, since llvm-install-name-tool will emit an error if an entry is missing in the input that is to be deleted, and FileCheck will emit an error if it is unexpectedly missing from the output. | |
14 | It's generally more traditional for llvm-objcopy tests to use a separate output file rather than modifying in place. This means you don't have to repeatedly recreate the same input in later tests. In some cases, we even demonstrate that the input file hasn't been modified, though I'm not convinced by the necessity of that here. Same applies for all test cases in this test. | |
16 | FWIW, you don't really need to indent quite so far. Just an extra two spaces on top of the previous line's indentation would be sufficient. | |
18 | You should validate that the other paths are still present. | |
19–20 | I'm not going to push on this, but I don't think the double blank lines really help improve readability of the test. | |
27–29 | It's worth remembering that FileCheck's CHECK-NOT patterns only check the region between the previous and next non-NOT matches (including the start/end of file as appropriate). This style of checking would therefore not prevent llvm-install-name-tool from reordering them - executable_d could appear before executable_a, executable_b and executable_c and this test would pass. A better approach would be to use FileCheck's --implicit-check-not. This is equivalent to specifying CHECK-NOT in between every positive match. Anything that contains the pattern specified in implicit-check-not which is not explicitly matched by another check will cause the test to fail. | |
33 | non-existing -> nonexistent (according to my brief StackExchange search...) | |
48 | Deleting -> deleting | |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/CopyConfig.cpp | ||
833–836 | Not being an Apple developer, I don't feel like I'm best placed to say what the behaviour should be. I'd prefer @alexshap or other Apple developers to give their thoughts. How important is it to emulate error message behaviour? Are the errors actually useful? One of the issues with prohibiting something being specified more than once is that people will occasionally be using response files or a build system or whatever where they can't easily change the existing commands that are specified, but can add to the end (I've run into this on one or two occasions). By following the more traditional approach of "last one wins", it's possible to workaround this difficulty, whereas this error makes it impossible. My 2 pence are that this one is not particularly useful, whereas the other one I commented on might have some value for reasons you've already outlined. | |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/InstallNameToolOpts.td | ||
22 | Actually, perhaps it should be "Delete specified rpath", since you have to explicitly specify the path that is being deleted. | |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/MachOObjcopy.cpp | ||
26–45 | I assume something got messed up when you copied in that line, since you obviously don't trim a size value! I would suggest that the older code should be improved (not in this patch though). When I read this code originally, I thought it was trying to trim 0 bytes or something before I confirmed that there is no such interface. |
llvm/test/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/install-name-tool-delete-rpath.test | ||
---|---|---|
14 | Unlike llvm-objcopy, it seems like install-name-tool doesn't have an option (like -o) where the user can specify the output binary. It only expects an input file and thus can only change the binary in place. (It also doesn't print the result on the terminal when it succeeds so > operator can't be used) | |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/CopyConfig.cpp | ||
833–836 | Ok, so currently I have removed this error check and allowed for duplicate entries to be specified (Config.RPathsToRemove is a set). I can change it back if @alexshap or someone else feels that we should support it? | |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/MachOObjcopy.cpp | ||
26–45 | ok thanks. I have currently fixed it for above code in the current patch. |
Updates:
- Change Config.RPathsToRemove to a set.
- No error for duplicate rpaths
- incorporating above inline comments for test file

9 | You could probably make this --implicit-check-not even simpler, for example simply @executable or path (but double-check the whole output for the second one, since it's possible it includes the file path somewhere else, and it's reasonable that somebody's file path will include "path" in a directory name somewhere). Same goes below for the other cases. Couple of other notes, but won't need dealing with, if you change as I request:
| |
14 | llvm-objcopy (unlike llvm-strip) doesn't have a -o option either. It uses the following syntax: llvm-objcopy <input> [output] In other words, the second positional argument is the output file the input file will be copied to. If not specified, the input will be modified in place. According to the help text, llvm-install-name-tool uses the same syntax, although I don't know if that's the case for Apple's version. Either way, assuming the help text is accurate, I think we should follow the same approach. | |
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/MachOObjcopy.cpp | ||
26–29 | I believe you can construct the set upfront with the right elements: DenseSet<StringRef> RPathsToRemove(Config.RPathsToRemove.begin(), Config.RPathsToRemove.end()); |

9 | nice, thanks😊 | |
14 | Oh, it seems like the help text is wrong in case of llvm-install-name-tool. If I run something like ./bin/llvm-install-name-tool -add_rpath @ZZ Dependent Dep2, it throws the following error: error: llvm-install-name-tool expects a single input file. the code too sets Config.InputFilename and Config.OutputFilename to the same file: if (Positional.size() > 1) return createStringError( errc::invalid_argument, "llvm-install-name-tool expects a single input file"); Config.InputFilename = Positional[0]; Config.OutputFilename = Positional[0]; Nevertheless, the current llvm's version is compatible with Apple's version as it too throws an error when an output file is specified. I can create a patch for the help text in a separate diff? (or, if preferable, make install-name-tool accept a output file?) |

42 | Object stores indices of some special load commands which need to be updated (in this method). for (const LoadCommand &LC : LoadCommand) { switch (LC.cmd) { ... } } |

14 | currently resolved by updating the help text here https://reviews.llvm.org/D81907. (I can change it to accept a output file if people prefer that way?) Please lemme know. |

42 | i see, thanks, almost there. A few suggestions from me:

9 | You can also get rid of the {{ and }} from the pattern here and below, since the string is no longer a regex. | |
14 | Thanks for the fix. It's up to you if you want to add an option in a separate patch for emitting an output file (it seems like a logical improvement), but I wouldn't make it the same as llvm-objcopy's positional argument, but rather I'd follow llvm-strip's separate option style. I don't think you need to do that for this change to land though. | |
46 | Nit: missing full stop. |

832 | Super nit: spell out "and" instead of using "&" |
llvm/test/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/install-name-tool-delete-rpath.test | ||
---|---|---|
52–53 | There's a bunch of special load commands whose indices are stored. Can we add tests for the other ones as well (in addition to LC_SYMTAB)? |
llvm/test/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/install-name-tool-delete-rpath.test | ||
---|---|---|
52–53 | Ok, to test this I have added a test remove-lc-index-update.test. The test uses the binary from strip-all.yaml (with additional modifications) as it already made use of all special Load Commands. Now, if the index is not updated properly, the binary either crashes or raises an assert error. However, if the indices are set right, the binary will run and the LC indices will be updated appropriately (aka the test passes). |
LGTM, with a couple of small comments, but please wait for others to confirm they are happy with the latest test changes, as I don't know Mach-O well enough to follow the full logic.
