This adds clarification to the getGlobalSymbol doc comments,
as well as renames the `addExternFn` function for MachO to `getGlobalSymbol`.
This function will now be called from 'src/link.zig' as well.
Finally, this also enables compiling zig's libc using LLVM even though
the `fno-LLVM` flag is given.
`genFunctype` now accepts calling convention, param types, and return type
as part of its function signature rather than `fnData`. This means
we no longer have to create a dummy for our intrinsic call abstraction.
This also adds support for f16 division and builtins such as `@ceil` & more.
Rather than checking if the user wants to use LLVM for the current compilation,
check for the existance of LLVM as part of the compiler. This is temporarily,
until other backends gain the ability to compiler LLVM themselves.
This means that when a user passed `-fno-LLVM` we will use the native
backend for the user's code, but use LLVM for compiler-rt.
This also fixes emitting names for symbols in the Wasm linker,
by deduplicating symbol names when multiple symbols point the same object.
Implements `@mulAdd` for floats with bitsize 16, where it generates
a call into compiler-rt's `fmaf` function. Note that arguments
for fmaf are different in order than `@mulAdd`.
This implements binary operations and comparisons
for floats with bitsize 16. It does this by calling into
compiler-rt to first extend the float to 32 bits, perform the operation,
and then finally truncate back to 16 bits. When loading and storing the f16,
we do this as an unsigned 16bit integer.
Rather than finding the original object file, we seekTo to the
object file's position within the archive file, and from there open
a new file handle. This file handle is passed to the `Object` parser
which will create the object.
When a new symbol is resolved to an existing symbol where
it doesn't overwrite the existing symbol, we now add this symbol
to the discarded list. This is required so when any relocation points
to the symbol, we can retrieve the correct symbol it's resolved by instead.
When performing relocations for a type index,
we first check if the target symbol is undefined. In which case,
we will obtain the type from the `import` rather than look into the
`functions` table.
This implements a very basic archive file parser that validates
the magic bytes, and then parses the symbol table and stores
the symbol and their position.
Multiple symbols can point to the same function, this means that when we loop over
the symbol list, we must deduplicate those functions being added twice.
Additionaly, we must also ensure that when we append a new type and set the type
index on a function, we must not do this again for the same function.
This commit also implements sorting of code atoms to ensure their order matches
the order of the function section to ensure the function signature matches
that of the function body.
Implements the creation of an undefined symbol for a compiler-rt intrinsic.
Also implements the building of the function call to said compiler-rt intrinsic.
The for-loop in dump() would index out of bounds if `t.index` is greater
than size, because `end` is the maximum of `t.index` and `size` rather than the
minimum.
This approach is more inline with what LLVM/LLD does for testing
of their output, and seems to be more generic and easier to extend
than implementing a lot of repetitive and nontrivial comparison
logic when working directly on structures.
CheckMachOStep specialises CheckFileStep into directed (surgical)
MachO file fuzzy searches. This will be the building block for
comprehensive MachO linker tests.
