[BOLT] Skip out-of-range pending relocations (#116964) When a pending relocation is created it is also marked whether it is optional or not. It can be optional when such relocation is added as part of an optimization (i.e., `scanExternalRefs`). When bolt tries to `flushPendingRelocations`, it safely skips any optional relocations that cannot be encoded due to being out of range. A pre-requisite to that is the usage of the `-force-patch` flag. Alternatrively, BOLT will bail out with a relevant message. Background: BOLT, as part of scanExternalRefs, identifies external references from calls and creates some pending relocations for them. Those when flushed will update references to point to the optimized functions. This optimization can be disabled using `--no-scan`. BOLT can assert if any of these pending relocations cannot be encoded. This patch does not disable this optimization but instead selectively applies it given that a pending relocation is optional and `-force-patch` was enabled.
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.
