Rewrite InputGraph's Group
The aim of this patch is to reduce the excessive abstraction from the InputGraph. We found that even a simple thing, such as sorting input files (Mach-O) or adding a new file to the input file list (PE/COFF), is nearly impossible with the InputGraph abstraction, because it hides too much information behind it. As a result, we invented complex interactions between components (e.g. notifyProgress() mechanism) and tricky code to work around that limitation. There were many occasions that we needed to write awkward code. This patch is a first step to make it cleaner. As a first step, this removes Group class from the InputGraph. The grouping feature is now directly handled by the Resolver. notifyProgress is removed since we no longer need that. I could have cleaned it up even more, but in order to keep the patch minimum, I focused on Group. SimpleFileNode class, a container of File objects, is now limited to have only one File. We shold have done this earlier. We used to allow putting multiple File objects to FileNode. Although SimpleFileNode usually has only one file, the Driver class actually used that capability. I modified the Driver class a bit, so that one FileNode is created for each input File. We should now probably remove SimpleFileNode and directly store File objects to the InputGraph in some way, because a container that can contain only one object is useless. This is a TODO. Mach-O input files are now sorted before they are passe to the Resolver. DarwinInputGraph class is no longer needed, so removed. PECOFF still has hacky code to add a new file to the input file list. This will be cleaned up in another patch. llvm-svn: 223330
