[llvm-dev] [lld] ObjFile::createRegular is oblivious of PendingComdat

I encountered a segfault when using lld to cross-compile for Windows
(+MinGW) from Linux.  The problem happens with objects built by gcc.  The
problem is that ObjFile::CreateRegular considers a PendingComdat to be
valid (and later causes an illegal pointer dereference).  The following
patch fixes the crash:

diff --git a/COFF/InputFiles.cpp b/COFF/InputFiles.cpp
index 9e2345b0a..f47d612df 100644
--- a/COFF/InputFiles.cpp
+++ b/COFF/InputFiles.cpp
@@ -229,11 +229,11 @@ Symbol *ObjFile::createRegular(COFFSymbolRef Sym) {
   if (Sym.isExternal()) {
     StringRef Name;
     COFFObj->getSymbolName(Sym, Name);
-    if (SC)
+    if (SC && SC != PendingComdat)
       return Symtab->addRegular(this, Name, Sym.getGeneric(), SC);
     return Symtab->addUndefined(Name, this, false);
   }
-  if (SC)

     return make<DefinedRegular>(this, /*Name*/ "", false,
                                 /*IsExternal*/ false, Sym.getGeneric(),
SC);
   return nullptr;

I can upload this to Phabricator in case this is the right fix.  If not,
I'll upload a reproducer for further investigation.  (I omitted it to avoid
manually packaging a whole set of object files - I think
--reproduce=<repro> doesn't work on Windows yet).

For reference, here's the segfault:

[llvm-dev] [lld] ObjFile::createRegular is oblivious of PendingComdat

GCC does comdats completely differently from the spec. Since you contacted
me about this off of the mailing list, I started investigating what they
do, and it is completely different. It's basically an alternative comdat
ABI. I guess because GCC never considered it important to implement C++ ABI
compatibility, they just did their own thing with comdats, since they
aren't really part of the C ABI.

Anyway, if we want to be C++ ABI compatible with GCC+binutils on Windows,
there will be a lot of work to do. It's not a small patch here or there, it
requires more research. We should discuss it in full.

I support recovering from invalid COFF files to avoid crashes in any way we
can, though, so this patch might still be good.

[llvm-dev] [lld] ObjFile::createRegular is oblivious of PendingComdat

Can you upload a reproducer? You can create it using the /linkrepro flag.
