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.

For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
After a first attempt to fix the test-suite failures, my first recommit
caused the same failures again. I had updated CMakeList.txt files of
tests that needed -fcommon, but it turns out that there are also
Makefiles which are used by some bots, so I've updated these Makefiles
now too.
See the original commit message for more details on this change:
0a9fc9233e172601e26381810d093e02ef410f65
This includes fixes for:
- test-suite: some benchmarks need to be compiled with -fcommon, see D75557.
- compiler-rt: one test needed -fcommon, and another a change, see D75520.
This reverts commit 0a9fc9233e172601e26381810d093e02ef410f65.
Going to look at the asan failures.
I find the failures in the test suite weird, because they look
like compile time test and I don't understand how that can be
failing, but will have a brief look at that too.
This makes -fno-common the default for all targets because this has performance
and code-size benefits and is more language conforming for C code.
Additionally, GCC10 also defaults to -fno-common and so we get consistent
behaviour with GCC.
With this change, C code that uses tentative definitions as definitions of a
variable in multiple translation units will trigger multiple-definition linker
errors. Generally, this occurs when the use of the extern keyword is neglected
in the declaration of a variable in a header file. In some cases, no specific
translation unit provides a definition of the variable. The previous behavior
can be restored by specifying -fcommon.
As GCC has switched already, we benefit from applications already being ported
and existing documentation how to do this. For example:
- https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-10/porting_to.html
- https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gcc_10_porting_notes/fno_common

Summary:
Clang -fpic defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition (GCC -fpic defaults
to -fsemantic-interposition).
Users need to specify -fsemantic-interposition to get semantic
interposition behavior.
Semantic interposition is currently a best-effort feature. There may
still be some cases where it is not handled well.

- tags with C linkage should ignore visibility=hidden
- functions and variables with explicit visibility attributes should
ignore the linkage of their types
Either of these should be sufficient to fix PR8457.
Also, FileCheck-ize a test case.

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
