This change fixes an issue with the use of `-alternatename` in the MSVC CRT on ARM64EC, where both mangled and demangled symbol names are specified. Without this patch, the demangled name could be resolved to an anti-dependency alias of the target. Since chaining anti-dependency aliases is not allowed, this results in an undefined symbol. The root cause isn't specific to ARM64EC, it can affect other targets as well, even when anti-dependency aliases aren't involved. The accompanying test case demonstrates a scenario where the symbol could be resolved from an archive. However, because the archive member is pulled in after the first pass of alternate name resolution, and archive members don't override weak aliases, eager resolution would incorrectly skip it.

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.
