Similar to D125411, but for ARM64X. ARM64X PE binaries are hybrids containing both ARM64EC and pure ARM64 variants in one file. They are usually linked by passing separate ARM64EC and ARM64 object files to linker. Linked binaries use ARM64 machine and contain additional CHPE metadata in their load config. CHPE metadata support is not part of this patch, I plan to send that later. Using ARM64X as a machine type of object files themselves is somewhat ambiguous, but such files are allowed by MSVC. It treats them as ARM64 or ARM64EC object, depending on the context. Such objects can be produced with cvtres.exe -machine:arm64x.

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.
