21 /// The core of the Dwarf linking logic.
22 ///
23 /// The generation of the dwarf information from the object files will be
24 /// driven by the selection of 'root DIEs', which are DIEs that
25 /// describe variables or functions that resolves to the corresponding
26 /// code section(and thus have entries in the Addresses map). All the debug
27 /// information that will be generated(the DIEs, but also the line
28 /// tables, ranges, ...) is derived from that set of root DIEs.
29 ///
30 /// The root DIEs are identified because they contain relocations that
31 /// points to code section(the low_pc for a function, the location for
32 /// a variable). These relocations are gathered as a very first step
33 /// when we start processing a object file by AddressesMap.
34 ///
35 /// The overall linking process looks like this:
36 ///
37 /// parrallel_for_each(ObjectFile) {
38 ///   for_each (Compile Unit) {
39 ///     1. Load Clang modules.
40 ///   }
41 ///
42 ///   parrallel_for_each(Compile Unit) {
43 ///     1. Load input DWARF for Compile Unit.
44 ///     2. Report warnings for Clang modules.
45 ///     3. Analyze live DIEs and type names(if ODR deduplication is requested).
46 ///     4. Clone DIEs(Generate output DIEs and resulting DWARF tables).
47 ///        The result is in an OutDebugInfoBytes, which is an ELF file
48 ///        containing DWARF tables corresponding to the current compile unit.
49 ///     5. Cleanup Input and Output DIEs.
50 ///   }
51 ///
52 ///   Deallocate loaded Object file.
53 /// }
54 ///
55 /// if (ODR deduplication is requested)
56 ///   Generate an artificial compilation unit ("Type Table": used to partially
57 ///   generate DIEs at the clone stage).
58 ///
59 /// for_each (ObjectFile) {
60 ///   for_each (Compile Unit) {
61 ///     1. Set offsets to Compile Units DWARF tables.
62 ///     2. Sort offsets/attributes/patches to have a predictable result.
63 ///     3. Patch size/offsets fields.
64 ///     4. Generate index tables.
65 ///     5. Move DWARF tables of compile units into the resulting file.
66 ///   }
67 /// }
68 ///
69 /// Every compile unit is processed separately, visited only once
70 /// (except case inter-CU references exist), and used data is freed
71 /// after the compile unit is processed. The resulting file is glued together
72 /// from the generated debug tables which correspond to separate compile units.
73 ///
74 /// Handling inter-CU references: inter-CU references are hard to process
75 /// using only one pass. f.e. if CU1 references CU100 and CU100 references
76 /// CU1, we could not finish handling of CU1 until we finished CU100.
77 /// Thus we either need to load all CUs into the memory, either load CUs several
78 /// times. This implementation loads inter-connected CU into memory at the first
79 /// pass and processes them at the second pass.
80 ///
81 /// ODR deduplication: Artificial compilation unit will be constructed to keep
82 /// type dies. All types are moved into that compilation unit. Type's references
83 /// are patched so that they point to the corresponding types from artificial
84 /// compilation unit. All partial type definitions would be merged into single
85 /// type definition.
