Should we warn on files that would have been filtered out by -arch_only? (What does cctools libtool do?)

Should we warn on bitcode files that contain no symbols?

@smeenai : many thanks for the review,

  1. regarding bitcode files: cctools libtool doesn't warn on them
  2. regarding input files which are filtered out by -arch_only: cctools libtool doesn't warn on them either

Perhaps, it makes sense to add tests for these cases

Yup, we should definitely add tests.

We're currently checking for no symbols before we do the -arch_only filtering, right? So our current behavior diverges from cctools?

LGTM.

A few other cases that might be good to have test cases for as well, but I'll let you judge that:

  • Empty (and non-empty) archive members
  • Empty (and non-empty) universal binary members, possibly with and without -arch_only

no_warning_for_no_symbols probably needs adding to the Comand Guide?

Nit: other descriptions don't appear to end with a full stop.

Nit: don't end diagnostic messages with trailing full stop (as per style guide).
