* Change the `linker_private_weak_def_auto' linkage to `linkonce_odr_auto_hide' toBill Wendling2012-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | make it more consistent with its intended semantics. The `linker_private_weak_def_auto' linkage type was meant to automatically hide globals which never had their addresses taken. It has nothing to do with the `linker_private' linkage type, which outputs the symbols with a `l' (ell) prefix among other things. The intended semantic is more like the `linkonce_odr' linkage type. Change the name of the linkage type to `linkonce_odr_auto_hide'. And therefore changing the semantics so that it produces the correct output for the linker. Note: The old linkage name `linker_private_weak_def_auto' will still parse but is not a synonym for `linkonce_odr_auto_hide'. This should be removed in 4.0. <rdar://problem/11754934> git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@162114 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
* Create the new linker type "linker_private_weak_def_auto".Bill Wendling2010-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | It's similar to "linker_private_weak", but it's known that the address of the object is not taken. For instance, functions that had an inline definition, but the compiler decided not to inline it. Note, unlike linker_private and linker_private_weak, linker_private_weak_def_auto may have only default visibility. The symbols are removed by the linker from the final linked image (executable or dynamic library). git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@111684 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
* Implement the "linker_private_weak" linkage type. This will be used forBill Wendling2010-07-01
Objective-C metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the linker will remove upon final linkage. However, this linkage isn't specific to Objective-C. For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is defined like this: .globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc .weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc .section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced .align 3 l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc: .quad _objc_msgSend_fixup .quad L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1 This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have the metadata defined with ".weak_definition". Currently only supported on Darwin platforms. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@107433 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
