LTO: Pass SF_Executable flag through to InputFile::Symbol
Summary: The linker needs to be able to determine whether a symbol is text or data to handle the case of a common being overridden by a strong definition in an archive. If the archive contains a text member of the same name as the common, that function is discarded. However, if the archive contains a data member of the same name, that strong definition overrides the common. This is a behavior of ld.bfd, which the Qualcomm linker also supports in LTO. Here's a test case to illustrate: #### cat > 1.c << \! int blah; ! cat > 2.c << \! int blah() { return 0; } ! cat > 3.c << \! int blah = 20; ! clang -c 1.c clang -c 2.c clang -c 3.c ar cr lib.a 2.o 3.o ld 1.o lib.a -t #### The correct output is: 1.o (lib.a)3.o Thanks to Shankar Easwaran and Hemant Kulkarni for the test case!
