25 // This file provides the std::__is_function_overridden utility, which allows checking
26 // whether an overridable function (typically a weak symbol) like `operator new`
27 // has been overridden by a user or not.
28 //
29 // This is a low-level utility which does not work on all platforms, since it needs
30 // to make assumptions about the object file format in use. Furthermore, it requires
31 // the "base definition" of the function (the one we want to check whether it has been
32 // overridden) to be annotated with the _LIBCPP_MAKE_OVERRIDABLE_FUNCTION_DETECTABLE macro.
33 //
34 // This currently works with Mach-O files (used on Darwin) and with ELF files (used on Linux
35 // and others). On platforms where we know how to implement this detection, the macro
36 // _LIBCPP_CAN_DETECT_OVERRIDDEN_FUNCTION is defined to 1, and it is defined to 0 on
37 // other platforms. The _LIBCPP_MAKE_OVERRIDABLE_FUNCTION_DETECTABLE macro is defined to
38 // nothing on unsupported platforms so that it can be used to decorate functions regardless
39 // of whether detection is actually supported.
40 //
41 // How does this work?
42 // -------------------
43 //
44 // Let's say we want to check whether a weak function `f` has been overridden by the user.
45 // The general mechanism works by placing `f`'s definition (in the libc++ built library)
46 // inside a special section, which we do using the `__section__` attribute via the
47 // _LIBCPP_MAKE_OVERRIDABLE_FUNCTION_DETECTABLE macro.
48 //
49 // Then, when comes the time to check whether the function has been overridden, we take
50 // the address of the function and we check whether it falls inside the special function
51 // we created. This can be done by finding pointers to the start and the end of the section
52 // (which is done differently for ELF and Mach-O), and then checking whether `f` falls
53 // within those bounds. If it falls within those bounds, then `f` is still inside the
54 // special section and so it is the version we defined in the libc++ built library, i.e.
55 // it was not overridden. Otherwise, it was overridden by the user because it falls
56 // outside of the section.
57 //
58 // Important note
59 // --------------
60 //
61 // This mechanism should never be used outside of the libc++ built library. In particular,
62 // attempting to use this within the libc++ headers will not work at all because we don't
63 // want to be defining special sections inside user's executables which use our headers.
