This PR adds support for selecting specific archive members in llvm-symbolizer using the `archive.a(member.o)` syntax, with architecture-aware member selection. **Key features:** 1. **Archive member selection syntax**: Specify archive members using `archive.a(member.o)` format 2. **Architecture selection via `--default-arch` flag**: Select the appropriate member when multiple members have the same name but different architectures 3. **Architecture selection via `:arch` suffix**: Alternative syntax `archive.a(member.o):arch` for specifying architecture This functionality is primarily designed for AIX big archives, which can contain multiple members with the same name but different architectures (32-bit and 64-bit). However, the implementation works with all archive formats (GNU, BSD, Darwin, big archive) and handles same-named members created with llvm-ar q. --------- Co-authored-by: Midhunesh <midhuensh.p@ibm.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.
