[llvm-dlltool] Fix renamed imports without a separate regular import entry (#98229)
Normally, when doing renamed imports, we do this by providing a
weak alias, towards another regular import, for the symbol we
want to actually import. In a def file, this looks like this:
regularfunc
renamedfunc == regularfunc
However, if we want to link against a function in a DLL, where we
(intentionally) don't provide a regular import for that symbol
with the name in its DLL, doing the renamed import with a weak
alias doesn't work, as there's no symbol that the weak alias can
point towards.
We can't make up such an import either, as we may intentionally
not want to provide a regular import for that name.
This situation can either be resolved by using the "long" import
library format (as e.g. produced by GNU dlltool), or by using the
new short import library name type "export as".
This patch implements it by using the "export as" name type.
When producing a renamed import, defer emitting it until all regular
imports have been produced. If the renamed import refers to a
symbol that does exist as a regular import entry, produce a
weak alias, just as before. (This implementation also avoids needing
to know whether the symbol that the alias points towards actually
is prefixed or not, too.)
If the renamed import points at a symbol that isn't otherwise
available (or is available as a renamed symbol itself), generate
an "export as" import entry.
This name type is new, and is normally used in ARM64EC import
libraries, but can also be used for other architectures.
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.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

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