--order_file, call graph profile, and BalancedPartitioning currently build the section order vector by decreasing priority (from SIZE_MAX to 0). However, it's conventional to use an increasing key (see OutputSection::inputOrder). Switch to increasing priorities, remove the global variable highestAvailablePriority, and remove the highestAvailablePriority parameter from BPSectionOrderer. Change size_t to int. This improves consistenty with the ELF and COFF ports. The ELF port utilizes negative priorities for --symbol-ordering-file and call graph profile, and non-negative priorities for --shuffle-sections (no Mach-O counterpart yet).

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
