Rafael Espindola 94aac821b6 Remove getRelocationAddress.
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.

Object File Interface
=====================
This module provides an interface for reading information from object files
(e.g. binary executables and libraries).
Using this module, you can obtain information about an object file's sections,
symbols, and relocations. These are represented by the classes ObjectFile,
Section, Symbol, and Relocation, respectively.
Usage
-----
The only way to use this module is to start by creating an ObjectFile. You can
create an ObjectFile by loading a file (specified by its path) or by creating a
llvm.core.MemoryBuffer and loading that.
Once you have an object file, you can inspect its sections and symbols directly
by calling get_sections() and get_symbols() respectively. To inspect
relocations, call get_relocations() on a Section instance.
Iterator Interface
------------------
The LLVM bindings expose iteration over sections, symbols, and relocations in a
way that only allows one instance to be operated on at a single time. This is
slightly annoying from a Python perspective, as it isn't very Pythonic to have
objects that "expire" but are still active from a dynamic language.
To aid working around this limitation, each Section, Symbol, and Relocation
instance caches its properties after first access. So, if the underlying
iterator is advanced, the properties can still be obtained provided they have
already been retrieved.
In addition, we also provide a "cache" method on each class to cache all
available data. You can call this on each obtained instance. Or, you can pass
cache=True to the appropriate get_XXX() method to have this done for you.
Here are some examples on how to perform iteration:
obj = ObjectFile(filename='/bin/ls')
# This is OK. Each Section is only accessed inside its own iteration slot.
section_names = []
for section in obj.get_sections():
section_names.append(section.name)
# This is NOT OK. You perform a lookup after the object has expired.
symbols = list(obj.get_symbols())
for symbol in symbols:
print symbol.name # This raises because the object has expired.
# In this example, we mix a working and failing scenario.
symbols = []
for symbol in obj.get_symbols():
symbols.append(symbol)
print symbol.name
for symbol in symbols:
print symbol.name # OK
print symbol.address # NOT OK. We didn't look up this property before.
# Cache everything up front.
symbols = list(obj.get_symbols(cache=True))
for symbol in symbols:
print symbol.name # OK
