[ORC][llvm-jitlink] Add support for emulating ld64 -weak-lx / -weak_library. Linking libraries in ld64 with -weak-lx / -weak_library causes all references to symbols in those libraries to be made weak, allowing the librarie to be missing at runtime. This patch extends EPCDynamicLibrarySearchGenerator with support for emulating this behavior: If an instance is constructed with an Allow predicate but no dylib handle then all symbols matching the predicate are immediately resolved to null. The llvm-jitlink tool is updated with -weak-lx / -weak_library options for testing. Unlike their ld64 counterparts these options take a TBD file as input, and always resolve all exports in the TBD file to null.
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.
