Previously, some tools such as `clang` or `lld` which require strict
order for certain command-line options, such as `clang -cc1` or `lld
-flavor`, would not longer work on Windows, when these tools were linked
as part of `llvm-driver`. This was caused by `InitLLVM` which was part
of the `*_main()` function of these tools, which in turn calls
`windows::GetCommandLineArguments`. That function completly replaces
argc/argv by new UTF-8 contents, so any ajustements to argc/argv made by
`llvm-driver` prior to calling these tools was reset.
`InitLLVM` is now called by the `llvm-driver`. Any tool that
participates in (or is part of) the `llvm-driver` doesn't call
`InitLLVM` anymore.
It's no longer possible to submit bitcode apps to the Apple App Store.
The tools
used to create xar archived bitcode sections inside MachO files have
been
discontinued. Additionally, the xar APIs have been deprecated since
macOS 12,
so this change removes unnecessary code from objdump and all
dependencies on
libxar.
This fixes rdar://116600767
We allow tools to be called {tool}-{suffix} to support tools being
called something like clang-17. Many clang tools follow this pattern
too for example, clang-scan-deps. It is pure luck wether clang or
clang-scan-deps will appear first in the LLVMDriverTools.def file. If
the former appears first, clang-scan-deps will match against clang,
which is not preferable. Instead we can control the order that tools
are checked so that we always look at more specific tool names first.

Usually we want the stem of argv[0] so something like clang-15
will correctly be identified as clang. For lld however, ld.lld
or ld-link would have a stem of just ld, so we also want to
use the full filename. The bug previously was that we were using
all of argv[0] so if you use a full path that happens to include a tool
name then that could be found first. This was the case in 2 stage
build where the binaries are stored in "tools/clang/stage2-bins/"
so some tools would end up as clang and not their intended tool.
The llvm-driver, enabled with LLVM_TOOL_LLVM_DRIVER_BUILD combines many llvm executables
into one to save overall toolchain size. This patch adds the capability for lld to be part of the
llvm-driver.

When LLVM_TOOL_LLVM_DRIVER_BUILD is On, create symlinks
to llvm instead of creating the executables. Currently
this only works for install and not
install-distribution, the work for the later will be
split up into a second patch.

This patch adds an llvm-driver multicall tool that can combine multiple
LLVM-based tools. The build infrastructure is enabled for a tool by
adding the GENERATE_DRIVER option to the add_llvm_executable CMake
call, and changing the tool's main function to a canonicalized
tool_name_main format (i.e. llvm_ar_main, clang_main, etc...).
As currently implemented llvm-driver contains dsymutil, llvm-ar,
llvm-cxxfilt, llvm-objcopy, and clang (if clang is included in the
build).
llvm-driver can be enabled from builds by setting
LLVM_TOOL_LLVM_DRIVER_BUILD=On.
There are several limitations in the current implementation, which can
be addressed in subsequent patches:
(1) the multicall binary cannot currently properly handle
multi-dispatch tools. This means symlinking llvm-ranlib to llvm-driver
will not properly result in llvm-ar's main being called.
(2) the multicall binary cannot be comprised of tools containing
conflicting cl::opt options as the global cl::opt option list cannot
contain duplicates.
These limitations can be addressed in subsequent patches.
