[lld-macho] Stricter Bitcode Symbol Resolution

LLD resolves symbols before performing LTO compilation, assuming that the symbols in question are resolved by the resulting object files from LTO. However, there is a scenario where the prevailing symbols might be resolved incorrectly due to specific assembly symbols not appearing in the symbol table of the bitcode. This patch deals with such a scenario by generating an error instead of silently allowing a mis-linkage.
If a prevailing symbol is resolved through post-loaded archives via LC linker options, a warning will now be issued.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting in touch

Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, or #llvm IRC channel on OFTC.

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