While introducing support for MinVersionLoadCommand in llvm-readobj I noticed there's
no API to extract Major/Minor/Update components conveniently. Currently consumers
do the bit twiddling on their own, but this will change from now on.
I'll convert llvm-objdump (and llvm-readobj) in a later commit.

getSymbolValue now returns a value that in convenient for most callers:
* 0 for undefined
* symbol size for common symbols
* offset/address for symbols the rest
Code that needs something more specific can check getSymbolFlags.

At least not in the interface exposed by ObjectFile. This matches what ELF and
COFF implement.
Adjust existing code that was expecting them to have values. No overall
functionality change intended.
Another option would be to change the interface and the ELF and COFF
implementations to say that the value of a common symbol is its size.
llvm-svn: 241593
They are implemented like that in some object formats, but for the interface
provided by lib/Object, SF_Undefined and SF_Common are different things.
This matches the ELF and COFF implementation and fixes llvm-nm for MachO.
llvm-svn: 241587
In these two contexts we really just want the raw n_value. No need to use
getSymbolValue which checks for special cases where, semantically, the symbol
has no value.

Originally added in r139314.
Back then it didn't actually get the address, it got whatever value the
relocation used: address or offset.
The values in different object formats are:
* MachO: Always an offset.
* COFF: Always an address, but when talking about the virtual address of
sections it says: "for simplicity, compilers should set this to zero".
* ELF: An offset for .o files and and address for .so files. In the case of the
.so, the relocation in not linked to any section (sh_info is 0). We can't
really compute an offset.
Some API mappings would be:
* Use getAddress for everything. It would be quite cumbersome. To compute the
address elf has to follow sh_info, which can be corrupted and therefore the
method has to return an ErrorOr. The address of the section is also the same
for every relocation in a section, so we shouldn't have to check the error
and fetch the value for every relocation.
* Use a getValue and make it up to the user to know what it is getting.
* Use a getOffset and:
* Assert for dynamic ELF objects. That is a very peculiar case and it is
probably fair to ask any tool that wants to support it to use ELF.h. The
only tool we have that reads those (llvm-readobj) already does that. The
only other use case I can think of is a dynamic linker.
* Check that COFF .obj files have sections with zero virtual address spaces. If
it turns out that some assembler/compiler produces these, we can change
COFFObjectFile::getRelocationOffset to subtract it. Given COFF format,
this can be done without the need for ErrorOr.
The getRelocationAddress method was never implemented for COFF. It also
had exactly one use in a very peculiar case: a shortcut for adding the
section value to a pcrel reloc on MachO.
Given that, I don't expect that there is any use out there of the C API. If
that is not the case, let me know and I will add it back with the implementation
inlined and do a proper deprecation.
llvm-svn: 241450
This function can really fail since the string table offset can be out of
bounds.
Using ErrorOr makes sure the error is checked.
Hopefully a lot of the boilerplate code in tools/* can go away once we have
a diagnostic manager in Object.
llvm-svn: 241297
This is still a really odd function. Most calls are in object format specific
contexts and should probably be replaced with a more direct query, but at least
now this is not too obnoxious to use.
llvm-svn: 240777
On ELF that was already the case since getting the size of a symbol
never fails.
On MachO and COFF we could fail trying to get the section of a symbol. But
we don't really need the section, just the section number to know if two
symbols are in the same section or not.
llvm-svn: 240580
This returns either the symbol offset or address. Since it is not defined which
one, it never has to lookup the section and so never fails.
I will add users in the next commit.
llvm-svn: 240569
COFF and MachO only define symbol sizes for common symbols. Reflect that
in the class hierarchy by having a method for common symbols only in the base
and a general one in ELF.
This avoids the need of using a magic value for the size, which had a few
problems
* Most callers didn't check for it.
* The ones that did could not tell the magic value from a file actually having
that value.
llvm-svn: 240529
In a relocation target can take 3 basic forms
* A r_value in scattered relocations.
* A symbol in external relocations.
* A section is non-external relocations.
Have the dump reflect that. With this change we go from
CHECK-NEXT: Extern: 0
CHECK-NEXT: Type: X86_64_RELOC_SUBTRACTOR (5)
CHECK-NEXT: Symbol: 0x2
CHECK-NEXT: Scattered: 0
To just
// CHECK-NEXT: Type: X86_64_RELOC_SUBTRACTOR (5)
// CHECK-NEXT: Section: __data (2)
Since the relocation is with a section, we print the seciton name and don't
need to say that it is not scattered or external.
Someone motivated can add further special cases for things like
ARM64_RELOC_ADDEND and ARM_RELOC_PAIR.
