2015-02-26liblink: delete unused codeRuss Cox
Liblink is still needed for the linker (for a bit longer) but mostly not. Delete the unused parts. Change-Id: Ie63a7c1520dee52b17425b384943cd16262d36e3 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/6110 Reviewed-by: Rob Pike <r@golang.org> Reviewed-by: Brad Fitzpatrick <bradfitz@golang.org>
2015-02-03liblink: the zero Prog is now valid and ready for useRuss Cox
Use AXXX instead of AGOK (neither is a valid instruction but AXXX is zero) for the initial setting of Prog.as, and now there are no non-zero default field settings. Remove the arch-specific zprog/zprg in favor of a single global zprog. Remove the arch-specific prg constructor in favor of emallocz(sizeof(Prog)).

2014-07-02build: annotations and modifications for c2goRuss Cox
The main changes fall into a few patterns: 1. Replace #define with enum. 2. Add /*c2go */ comment giving effect of #define. This is necessary for function-like #defines and non-enum-able #defined constants. (Not all compilers handle negative or large enums.) 3. Add extra braces in struct initializer. (c2go does not implement the full rules.) This is enough to let c2go typecheck the source tree. There may be more changes once it is doing other semantic analyses.

2013-12-18liblink: don't search for an import file with an absolute pathIan Lance Taylor
This restores the old behaviour, and makes it possible to continue to use 6g and 6l directly, rather than the go tool, with dot imports. R=rsc CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/43710043
2013-12-16cmd/ld: move instruction selection + layout into compilers, assemblersRuss Cox
- new object file reader/writer (liblink/objfile.c) - remove old object file writing routines - add pcdata iterator - remove all trace of "line number stack" and "path fragments" from object files, linker (!!!) - dwarf now writes a single "compilation unit" instead of one per package This CL disables the check for chains of no-split functions that could overflow the stack red zone. A future CL will attack the problem of reenabling that check (issue 6931). This CL is just the liblink and cmd/ld changes. There are minor associated adjustments in CL 37030045. Each depends on the other. R=golang-dev, dave, iant CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/39680043
2013-12-08liblink: create new library based on linker codeRuss Cox
There is an enormous amount of code moving around in this CL, but the code is the same, and it is invoked in the same ways. This CL is preparation for the new linker structure, not the new structure itself. The new library's definition is in include/link.h. The main change is the use of a Link structure to hold all the linker-relevant state, replacing the smattering of global variables. The Link structure should both make it clearer which state must be carried around and make it possible to parallelize more easily later. The main body of the linker has moved into the architecture-independent cmd/ld directory. That includes the list of known header types, so the distinction between Hplan9x32 and Hplan9x64 is removed (no other header type distinguished 32- and 64-bit formats), and code for unused formats such as ipaq kernels has been deleted. The code being deleted from 5l, 6l, and 8l reappears in liblink or in ld. Because multiple files are being merged in the liblink directory, it is not possible to show the diffs nicely in hg. The Prog and Addr structures have been unified into an architecture-independent form and moved to link.h, where they will be shared by all tools: the assemblers, the compilers, and the linkers. The unification makes it possible to write architecture-independent traversal of Prog lists, among other benefits. The Sym structures cannot be unified: they are too fundamentally different between the linker and the compilers. Instead, liblink defines an LSym - a linker Sym - to be used in the Prog and Addr structures, and the linker now refers exclusively to LSyms. The compilers will keep using their own syms but will fill out the corresponding LSyms in the Prog and Addr structures. Although code from 5l, 6l, and 8l is now in a single library, the code has been arranged so that only one architecture needs to be linked into a particular program: 5l will not contain the code needed for x86 instruction layout, for example. The object file writing code in liblink/obj.c is from cmd/gc/obj.c. Preparation for golang.org/s/go13linker work. This CL does not build by itself. It depends on 35740044 and will be submitted at the same time. R=iant CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/35790044
