COFF: Handle undefined symbols starting with __imp_ in a special way.
MSVC linker is able to link an object file created from the following code. Note that __imp_hello is not defined anywhere. void hello() { printf("Hello\n"); } extern void (*__imp_hello)(); int main() { __imp_hello(); } Function symbols exported from DLLs are automatically mangled by appending __imp_ prefix, so they have two names (original one and with the prefix). This "feature" seems to simulate that behavior even for non-DLL symbols. This is in my opnion very odd feature. Even MSVC linker warns if you use this. I'm adding that anyway for the sake of compatibiltiy. llvm-svn: 240620
