[PATCH] D22683: [ELF] Symbol assignment within input section list

[Rui Ueyama via llvm-commits]

ruiu added a comment.

Sorry to bring this back again, but I'm wondering why we can't create absolute symbols. This is different from what GNU linkers do, but looks like difference between section-relative symbols and absolute symbols don't matter. If we create absolute symbols, we can remove the virtual input section class.

Why did you have to make a change to this function?
