[LLD] Fix crash on parsing ':ALIGN' in linker script (#146723)
The linker was crashing due to stack overflow when parsing ':ALIGN' in
an output section description. This commit fixes the linker script
parser so that the crash does not happen.
The root cause of the stack overflow is how we parse expressions
(readExpr) in linker script and the behavior of ScriptLexer::expect(...)
utility. ScriptLexer::expect does not do anything if errors have already
been encountered during linker script parsing. In particular, it never
increments the current token position in the script file, even if the
current token is the same as the expected token. This causes an infinite
call cycle on parsing an expression such as '(4096)' when an error has
already been encountered.
readExpr() calls readPrimary()
readPrimary() calls readParenExpr()
readParenExpr():
expect("("); // no-op, current token still points to '('
Expression *E = readExpr(); // The cycle continues...
Closes #146722

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.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
