[llvm-commits] [patch] Add a InitSections method to the streamer interface

[Rafael Espindola]

I was having a hard time debugging my lest patch so I decided to code
something that makes testing easier first. What this patch does is move
the hard coded initial section selection into a MC streamer method. This
way we can use the ELF streamer without passing the -n option to
llvm-mc and the initial sections created matches those created by
gnu as. This make comparing the output of "readelf -aW" a lot easier.

I also tested this by compiling and running screen :-)

A small part of the hack remains in the text streamer in that it still
uses the macho section. I would think that the text streamer should
not set the initial sections, since the real assembler using the text
we are printing will. If others agree, I will change this in a followup
patch.

Cheers,
