[Object][COFF] Allow section symbol to be common symbol
I ran into an lld-link error due to a symbol named ".idata$4" coming from some
static library:
.idata$4 should not refer to special section 0.
Here is the symbol table entry for .idata$4:
Symbol {
Name: .idata$4
Value: 3221225536
Section: IMAGE_SYM_UNDEFINED (0)
BaseType: Null (0x0)
ComplexType: Null (0x0)
StorageClass: Section (0x68)
AuxSymbolCount: 0
}
The symbol .idata$4 is a section symbol (IMAGE_SYM_CLASS_SECTION) and LLD
currently handles it as a regular defined symbol since isCommon() returns false
for this symbol. This results in the error ".idata$4 should not refer to special
section 0" because lld-link asserts that regular defined symbols should not
refer to section 0.
Should this symbol be handled as a common symbol instead? LLVM currently only
allows external symbols (IMAGE_SYM_CLASS_EXTERNAL) to be common
symbols. However, the PE/COFF spec (see section "Section Number Values") does
not seem to mention this restriction. Any thoughts?
