This fairly intricate commit connects up the CTF linker machinery (which operates in terms of ctf_archive_t's on ctf_link_inputs -> ctf_link_outputs) to the deduplicator (which operates in terms of arrays of ctf_file_t's, all the archives exploded). The nondeduplicating linker is retained, but is not called unless the CTF_LINK_NONDEDUP flag is passed in (which ld never does), or the environment variable LD_NO_CTF_DEDUP is set. Eventually, once we have confidence in the much-more-complex deduplicating linker, I hope the nondeduplicating linker can be removed. In brief, what this does is traverses each input archive in ctf_link_inputs, opening every member (if not already open) and tying child dicts to their parents, shoving them into an array and constructing a corresponding parents array that tells the deduplicator which dict is the parent of which child. We then call ctf_dedup and ctf_dedup_emit with that array of inputs, taking the outputs that result and putting them into ctf_link_outputs where the rest of the CTF linker expects to find them, then linking in the variables just as is done by the nondeduplicating linker. It also implements much of the CU-mapping side of things. The problem CU-mapping introduces is that if you map many input CUs into one output, this is saying that you want many translation units to produce at most one child dict if conflicting types are found in any of them. This means you can suddenly have multiple distinct types with the same name in the same dict, which libctf cannot really represent because it's not something you can do with C translation units. The deduplicator machinery already committed does as best it can with these, hiding types with conflicting names rather than making child dicts out of them: but we still need to call it. This is done similarly to the main link, taking the inputs (one CU output at a time), deduplicating them, taking the output and making it an input to the final link. Two (significant) optimizations are done: we share atoms tables between all these links and the final link (so e.g. all type hash values are shared, all decorated type names, etc); and any CU-mapped links with only one input (and no child dicts) doesn't need to do anything other than renaming the CU: the CU-mapped link phase can be skipped for it. Put together, large CU-mapped links can save 50% of their memory usage and about as much time (and the memory usage for CU-mapped links is significant, because all those output CUs have to have all their types stored in memory all at once). include/ * ctf-api.h (CTF_LINK_NONDEDUP): New, turn off the deduplicator. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h (ctf_list_splice): New. * ctf-util.h (ctf_list_splice): Likewise. * ctf-link.c (link_sort_inputs_cb_arg_t): Likewise.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
