The ObjectFile plugin interface accepts an optional DataBufferSP argument. If the caller has the contents of the binary, it can provide this in that DataBufferSP. The ObjectFile subclasses in their CreateInstance methods will fill in the DataBufferSP with the actual binary contents if it is not set. ObjectFile base class creates an ivar DataExtractor from the DataBufferSP passed in. My next patch will be a caller that creates a VirtualDataExtractor with the binary data, and needs to pass that in to the ObjectFile plugin, instead of the bag-of-bytes DataBufferSP. It builds on the previous patch changing ObjectFile's ivar from DataExtractor to DataExtractorSP so I could pass in a subclass in the shared ptr. And it will be using the VirtualDataExtractor that Jonas added in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/168802 No behavior is changed by the patch; we're simply moving the creation of the DataExtractor to the caller, instead of a DataBuffer that is immediately used to set up the ObjectFile DataExtractor. The patch is a bit complicated because all of the ObjectFile subclasses have to initialize their DataExtractor to pass in to the base class. I ran the testsuite on macOS and on AArch64 Ubutnu. (btw David, I ran it under qemu on my M4 mac with SME-no-SVE again, Ubuntu 25.10, checked lshw(1) cpu capabilities, and qemu doesn't seem to be virtualizing the SME, that explains why the testsuite passes) rdar://148939795 --------- Co-authored-by: Jonas Devlieghere <jonas@devlieghere.com>
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.
