After failing to find RUNPATH in the ELF of /usr/bin/env, not finding
the answer in a symlink of the dynamic interpreter, and not finding
libc.so.6 in the same directory as the dynamic interpreter, Zig will
check `/lib/$triple`.
This fixes incorrect native glibc version detected on Debian bookworm.
This is a partial revert of the previous commit, fixing a regression on
Debian. However, the commit additionally improves the
detectAbiAndDynamicLinker function to read more than 1 byte at a time
when detecting a shebang line.
This commit removes the check that takes advantage of when the dynamic
linker is a symlink. Instead, it falls back on the same directory as the
dynamic linker as a de facto runpath. Empirically, this gives correct
results on Gentoo and NixOS.
Unfortunately it is still falling short for Debian, which has libc.so.6
in a different directory as the dynamic linker.
Before, native glibc and dynamic linker detection attempted to use the
executable's own binary if it was dynamically linked to answer both the
C ABI question and the dynamic linker question. However, this could be
problematic on a system that uses a RUNPATH for the compiler binary,
locking it to an older glibc version, while system binaries such as
/usr/bin/env use a newer glibc version. The problem is that libc.so.6
glibc version will match that of the system while the dynamic linker
will match that of the compiler binary. Executables with these versions
mismatching will fail to run.
Therefore, this commit changes the logic to be the same regardless of
whether the compiler binary is dynamically or statically linked. It
inspects `/usr/bin/env` as an ELF file to find the answer to these
questions, or if there is a shebang line, then it chases the referenced
file recursively. If that does not provide the answer, then the function
falls back to defaults.
This commit also solves a TODO to remove an Allocator parameter to the
detect() function.
Previously, this code would fail to detect glibc version because it
relied on libc.so.6 being a symlink which revealed the answer. On modern
distros, this is no longer the case.
This new strategy finds the path to libc.so.6 from /usr/bin/env, then
inspects the .dynstr section of libc.so.6, looking for symbols that
start with "GLIBC_2.". It then parses those as semantic versions and
takes the maximum value as the system-native glibc version.

This adds the following for passthrough to lld:
- `--print-gc-sections`
- `--print-icf-sections`
- `--print-map`
I am not adding these to the cache manifest, since it does not change
the produced artifacts.
Tested with an example from #11398: it successfully prints the resulting
map and the GC'd sections.
Previously if a decl failed its capture scope would be deallocated and
set to undefined which would then lead to invalid dereference in
`zirClosureGet`. To avoid this set the capture scope to a special
failed state and fail the current decl with dependency failure if
the failed state is encountered in `zirClosureGet`.

Although the wasm-linker previously already supported
debug information in incremental-mode, this was no longer
working as-is with the addition of supporting object-file-parsed
debug information. This commit implements the Zig-created debug information
structure from scratch which is a lot more robust and also allows
being linked with debug information from other object files.
When linking a Zig-compilation with an object file,
we allow mixing the debug atoms to make sure debug
information is preserved from object files. By default,
we now always initialize all debug sections if the `strip` flag
is unset.
This also fixes relocations for debug information as previously
the offset of an atom wasn't calculated, and neither was the code
size itself which meant that debug lines were off and file names
from other object files were missing.
Previously we used single arraylists for each debug section for debug
information that was generated from Zig code. (e.i. `Module` is available).
This information is now stored in Atoms, similarly to debug information
from object files. This will allow us to link them together and resolve
debug relocations.
This correctly performs a relocation for debug sections.
The result is that the wasm-linker can now correctly create
a binary from object files while preserving all debug information.
We now link relocatable debug sections with the correct
section symbol and then allocate and resolve the debug atoms
before writing them into the final binary.
Although this does perform the relocation, the actual relocations
are not done correctly yet.
Rather than storing the name of a debug section into the structure
`RelocatableData`, we use the `index` field as an offset into the
debug names table. This means we do not have to store an extra 16 bytes
for non-debug sections which can be massive for object files where each
data symbol has its own data section. The name of a debug section
can then be retrieved again when needed by using the offset and
then reading until the 0-delimiter.
Currently, `zig build-exe -fno-emit-bin --verbose-air src/main.zig`
results in no output at all. With this refactor, it dumps AIR
and then exits without invoking LLVM, as expected
