We have a new policy in place making links to private resources
something we try to avoid in source and test files. Normally, we'd
organically switch to the new policy rather than make a sweeping change
across a project. However, Clang is in a somewhat special circumstance
currently: recently, I've had several new contributors run into rdar
links around test code which their patch was changing the behavior of.
This turns out to be a surprisingly bad experience, especially for
newer folks, for a handful of reasons: not understanding what the link
is and feeling intimidated by it, wondering whether their changes are
actually breaking something important to a downstream in some way,
having to hunt down strangers not involved with the patch to impose on
them for help, accidental pressure from asking for potentially private
IP to be made public, etc. Because folks run into these links entirely
by chance (through fixing bugs or working on new features), there's not
really a set of problematic links to focus on -- all of the links have
basically the same potential for causing these problems. As a result,
this is an omnibus patch to remove all such links.
This was not a mechanical change; it was done by manually searching for
rdar, radar, radr, and other variants to find all the various
problematic links. From there, I tried to retain or reword the
surrounding comments so that we would lose as little context as
possible. However, because most links were just a plain link with no
supporting context, the majority of the changes are simple removals.
Differential Review: https://reviews.llvm.org/D158071
A significant number of our tests in C accidentally use functions
without prototypes. This patch converts the function signatures to have
a prototype for the situations where the test is not specific to K&R C
declarations. e.g.,
void func();
becomes
void func(void);
This is the twelfth batch of tests being updated (the end may be in
sight soon though).
Without them they can be merged with non unnamed_addr constants during LTO.
The resulting constant is not unnamed_addr and goes in a different section,
which causes ld64 to crash.
A testcase that would crash before:
* file1.mm:
void g(id notification) {
[notification valueForKey:@"name"];
}
* file2.cpp:
extern const char js_name_str[] = "name";
* file3.cpp
extern bool JS_GetProperty(const char *name);
extern const char js_name_str[];
bool js_ReportUncaughtException() { JS_GetProperty(js_name_str); }
run
clang file1.mm -o file1.o -c -w -emit-llvm
clang file2.cpp -o file2.o -c -w -emit-llvm
clang file3.cpp -o file3.o -c -w
ld -dylib -o XUL file1.o file2.o file3.o -undefined dynamic_lookup.

section. A 'normal' string will go into the __TEXT,__const section, but this
isn't good for UTF16 strings. The __ustring section allows for coalescing, among
other niceties (such as allowing the linker to easily split up strings).
Instead of outputting the UTF16 string as a series of bytes, output it as a
series of shorts. The back-end will then nicely place the UTF16 string into the
correct section, because it's a mensch.
