[ELF] Separate relative and non-relative dynamic relocations (#187959) Previously, the flow was: 1. Parallel scan adds relative relocs to per-thread `relocsVec` 2. `mergeRels()` copies all into `relocs` 3. `partitionRels()` uses `stable_partition` to separate Now, relative relocs are routed at `addReloc` time by checking `reloc.type == relativeRel`. In `mergeRels`, sharded entries are classified through the same `addReloc` path rather than blindly appended. `relocsVec` may contain non-relative entries like `R_AARCH64_AUTH_RELATIVE`. This eliminates the `stable_partition` on the full relocation vector (543K entries for clang) and avoids copying relative relocations into `relocs` only to move them out again. Linking an x86_64 release+assertions build of clang is 1.04x as fast. `numRelativeRelocs` caches `relativeRelocs.size()` at `finalizeContents` time for `DT_RELACOUNT`. Using a live `relativeRelocs.size()` would cause `DynamicSection::writeTo` to emit an extra entry when thunks add relocs after `.dynamic` is sized, overflowing into adjacent sections. Tested by ppc64-long-branch-rel14.s.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
