[LLVMdev] [lld] consolidating the usage of saving references

[Shankar Easwaran]

Hi,

It looks like each flavor chooses to save references in its own way.

The GNU flavor (ELF) uses a single vector of references and uses 
referenceStartIndex/referenceEndIndex to point to the references for 
each DefinedAtom.

Darwin(Mach-O) / WinLink (PECOFF) uses a different way of storing 
references ?

Is there a plan to make the WinLink/Darwin(Mach-O) use a single vector 
of references too at some point in time.

There are merits/demerits of the approach that the Gnu flavor uses but 
it would be nice if we settle on one design for storing references.

Thanks

Shankar Easwaran
