Firstly, opening a file handle is not really needed since we won't even
use it, and secondly, this can cause AccessDenied errors on Windows
when trying to move a directory from zig-cache/tmp/ to zig-cache/o/
since, without POSIX semantics, it is illegal to move directories
with open handles to any of its resources.
This way, tracking segment-to-section mapping becomes a lot easier
since it's effectively just start index plus number of sections
defined within the segment. If a section becomes empty however
care needs to be taken to remove the header upon committing to the
final binary.
Fix incorrect writing of symtab and strtab in dSYM bundle in incremental
context.
Fix incorrectly navigating unnamed consts (freeing) in incremental context.
This is currently hard-coded to require all consts to land in `__TEXT,__const`,
which is wrong and needs a rewrite.
Instead of generating sections upfront, allow generation by scanning
the object files for input -> output sections mapping. Next, always
strive to keep output sections in the final container sorted as they
appear in the final binary. This makes the linker less messy wrt
handling of output sections sort order for dyld/macOS not to complain.
There's still more work to be done for incremental context though
to make this work but looks promising already.
This reverts commit 7cbd586ace46a8e8cebab660ebca3cfc049305d9.
This is causing a fail to build from source:
```
./lib/std/fmt.zig:492:17: error: cannot format optional without a specifier (i.e. {?} or {any})
@compileError("cannot format optional without a specifier (i.e. {?} or {any})");

./src/link/MachO/Atom.zig:544:26: note: called from here
log.debug(" RELA({s}) @ {x} => %{d} in object({d})", .{

```
I looked at the code to fix it but none of those args are optionals.
Previously, we would get a pointer to a slot in the symbol table,
apply changes to the symbol, and return the pointer. This however
didn't take into account that the symbol table may be moved in memory
in-between the modification and return from the function (`fn placeDecl`).
Prior to my rewrite, this was not possible within the body of the said
function. However, my rewrite revamped how we allocate GOT atoms and
their matching symtab indexes, which now may cause a move in memory
of the container.
Now, each object file will store a mutable table of symbols that it
defines. Upon symbol resolution between object files, the symbol
will be updated with a globally allocated section ordinal and address
in virtual memory. If the object defines a globally available symbol,
its location only (comprising of the symbol index and object index)
will be stored in the globals map for easy access when relocating, etc.
This approach cleans up the symbol management significantly, and matches
the status quo used in zld/ELF.
Additionally, this makes scoping symbol stabs easier too as they are
now naturally contained within each object file.
This is a prelude to a more elaborate work which will implement
`-dead_strip` flag - garbage collection of unreachable atoms. Here,
when sorting sections, we also check that the section is actually
populated with some atoms, and if not, we exclude it from the final
linked image. This can happen when we do not import any symbols
from dynamic libraries in which case we will not be populating
the stubs sections or the GOT table, implying we can skip allocating
those sections. Furthermore, we also make a check that a segment
is actually occupied too, with the exception of `__TEXT` segment
which is non-optional given that it wraps the header and load commands
and thus is required by the `dyld` to perform dynamic linking, and
`__PAGEZERO` which is generally non-optional when the linked image
is an executable. For any other segment, if its section count is
zero, we mark it as dead and skip allocating it and generating
a load command for it.
This commit also includes some minor improvements to the linker such
as refactoring of the segment allocating codepaths, skipping
`__PAGEZERO` generation for dylibs, and skipping generation of zero-sized
atoms for special symbols such as `__mh_execute_header` and `___dso_handle`.
These special symbols are only allocated local and global symbol pair
and their VM addresses is set to the start of the `__TEXT` segment,
but no `Atom` is created, as it's not necessary given that they never
carry any machine code.
Finally, we now always force-link against `libSystem` which turns out
to be required for `dyld` to properly handle `LC_MAIN` load command
on older macOS versions such as 10.15.7.
MachO linker now handles `-needed-l<name>`, `-needed_library=<name>`
and `-needed_framework=<name>`. While on macOS `-l` is equivalent
to `-needed-l`, and `-framework` to `-needed_framework`, it can be
used to the same effect as on Linux if combined with `-dead_strip_dylibs`.
This commit also adds handling for `-needed_library` which is macOS
specific flag only (in addition to `-needed-l`).
Finally, in order to leverage new linker testing harness, this commit
added ability to specify lowering to those flags via `build.zig`:
`linkSystemLibraryNeeded` (and related), and `linkFrameworkNeeded`.
Includes both traditiona and incremental codepaths with one caveat that
in incremental case, the requested size cannot be smaller than the
default padding size due to prealloc required due to incremental nature
of linking.
Also parse `-headerpad_max_install_names`, however, not actionable just yet -
missing implementation.
