de0ff2102f [msf] Create LLVMDebugInfoMsf
This provides a better layering of responsibilities among different
aspects of PDB writing code.  Some of the MSF related code was
contained in CodeView, and some was in PDB prior to this.  Further,
we were often saying PDB when we meant MSF, and the two are
actually independent of each other since in theory you can have
other types of data besides PDB data in an MSF.  So, this patch
separates the MSF specific code into its own library, with no
dependencies on anything else, and DebugInfoCodeView and
DebugInfoPDB take dependencies on DebugInfoMsf.

b6837aec06 [pdb] Round-trip module & file info to/from YAML.
This implements support for writing compiland and compiland source
file info to a binary PDB.  This is tested by adding support for
dumping these fields from an existing PDB to yaml, reading them
back in, and dumping them again and verifying the values are as
expected.

We bailed out while printing codeview for an MSVC compiled
SemaExprCXX.cpp that used this record. The MS reference headers look
incorrect here, which is probably why we had this bug. They use a 32-bit

805d357d67 [codeview] Add support for splitting field list records over 64KB
The basic structure is that once a list record goes over 64K, the last
subrecord of the list is an LF_INDEX record that refers to the next
record. Because the type record graph must be toplogically sorted, this
means we have to emit them in reverse order. We build the type record in
order of declaration, so this means that if we don't want extra copies,
we need to detect when we were about to split a record, and leave space
for a continuation subrecord that will point to the eventual split
top-level record.

Also adds dumping support for these records.

Next we should make sure that large method overload lists work properly.

9277831e4a [codeview] Dump line number and column information.
To facilitate this, a couple of changes had to be made:

1. `ModuleSubstream` got moved from `DebugInfo/PDB` to
`DebugInfo/CodeView`, and various codeview related types are defined
there.  It turns out `DebugInfo/CodeView/Line.h` already defines many of
these structures, but this is really old code that is not endian aware,
doesn't interact well with `StreamInterface` and not very helpful for
getting stuff out of a PDB.  Eventually we should migrate the old readobj
`COFFDumper` code to these new structures, or at least merge their
functionality somehow.

2. A `ModuleSubstream` visitor is introduced.  Depending on where your
module substream array comes from, different subsets of record types can
be expected.  We are already hand parsing these substream arrays in many
places especially in `COFFDumper.cpp`.  In the future we can migrate these
paths to the visitor as well, which should reduce a lot of code in
`COFFDumper.cpp`.

d356ecd7d3 [codeview] Fix a nasty use after free.
StreamRef was designed to be a thin wrapper over an abstract
stream interface that could itself be treated the same as any
other stream interface.  For this reason, it inherited publicly
from StreamInterface, and stored a StreamInterface* internally.

But StreamRef was also designed to be lightweight and easily
copyable, similar to ArrayRef.  This led to two misuses of
the classes.

1) When creating a StreamRef A from another StreamRef B, it was
   possible to end up with A storing a pointer to B, even when
   B was a temporary object, leading to use after free.
2) The above situation could be repeated ad nauseum, so that
   A stores a pointer to B, which itself stores a pointer to
   another StreamRef C, and so on and so on, creating an
   unnecessarily level of nesting depth.

This patch removes the public inheritance relationship between
StreamRef and StreamInterface, making it so that we can never
accidentally convert a StreamRef to a StreamInterface.

05a06ad643 [codeview] Improve readability of type record assembly
Adds the method MCStreamer::EmitBinaryData, which is usually an alias
for EmitBytes. In the MCAsmStreamer case, it is overridden to emit hex
dump output like this:
        .byte   0x0e, 0x00, 0x08, 0x10
        .byte   0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
        .byte   0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
        .byte   0x00, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00

Also, when verbose asm comments are enabled, this patch prints the dump
output for each comment before its record, like this:
        # ArgList (0x1000) {
        #   TypeLeafKind: LF_ARGLIST (0x1201)
        #   NumArgs: 0
        #   Arguments [
        #   ]
        # }
        .byte   0x06, 0x00, 0x01, 0x12
        .byte   0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00

This should make debugging easier and testing more convenient.

f070dd590e [codeview,pdb] Try really hard to conserve memory when reading.
PDBs can be extremely large.  We're already mapping the entire
PDB into the process's address space, but to make matters worse
the blocks of the PDB are not arranged contiguously.  So, when
we have something like an array or a string embedded into the
stream, we have to make a copy.  Since it's convenient to use
traditional data structures to iterate and manipulate these
records, we need the memory to be contiguous.

As a result of this, we were using roughly twice as much memory
as the file size of the PDB, because every stream was copied
out and re-stitched together contiguously.

This patch addresses this by improving the MappedBlockStream
to allocate from a BumpPtrAllocator only when a read requires
a discontiguous read.  Furthermore, it introduces some data
structures backed by a stream which can iterate over both
fixed and variable length records of a PDB.  Since everything
is backed by a stream and not a buffer, we can read almost
everything from the PDB with zero copies.

Summary:
This code is intended to be used as part of LLD's PDB writing. Until

Type stream merging uses the following algorithm:

- Begin with a new empty stream, and a new empty hash table that maps
  from type record contents to new type index.
- For each new type stream, maintain a map from source type index to
  destination type index.
- For each record, copy it and rewrite its type indices to be valid in
  the destination type stream.
- If the new type record is not already present in the destination
  stream hash table, append it to the destination type stream, assign it
  the next type index, and update the two hash tables.
- If the type record already exists in the destination stream, discard
  it and update the type index map to forward the source type index to
  the existing destination type index.

0614f2a55e Fix several accidental DOS line endings in source files
Summary:
There are a number of files in the tree which have been accidentally checked in with DOS line endings.  Convert these to native line endings.

There are also a few files which have DOS line endings on purpose, and I have set the svn:eol-style property to 'CRLF' on those.

5c39fdd192 LLVM CodeView library
Summary: This diff is the initial implementation of the LLVM CodeView library. There is much more work to be done, namely a CodeView dumper and tests. This patch should help others make progress on the LLVM->CodeView debug info emission while I continue with the implementation of the dumper and tests.

This library implements support for emitting debug info in the CodeView format. This phase of the implementation only includes support for CodeView type records. Clients that need to emit type records will use a class derived from TypeTableBuilder. TypeTableBuilder provides member functions for writing each kind of type record; each of these functions eventually calls the writeRecord virtual function to emit the actual bits of the record. Derived classes override writeRecord to implement the folding of duplicate records and the actual emission to the appropriate destination. LLVMCodeView provides MemoryTypeTableBuilder, which creates the table in memory. In the future, other classes derived from TypeTableBuilder will write to other destinations, such as the type stream in a PDB.

The rest of the types in LLVMCodeView define the actual CodeView type records and all of the supporting enums and other types used in the type records. The TypeIndex class is of particular interest, because it is used by clients as a handle to a type in the type table.

The library provides a relatively low-level interface based on the actual on-disk format of CodeView. For example, type records refer to other type records by TypeIndex, rather than by an actual pointer to the referent record. This allows clients to emit type records one at a time, rather than having to keep the entire transitive closure of type records in memory until everything has been emitted. At some point, having a higher-level interface layered on top of this one may be useful for debuggers and other tools that want a more holistic view of the debug info. The lower-level interface should be sufficient for compilers and linkers to do the debug info manipulation that they need to do efficiently.
