[PATCH] D62620: [llvm-objcopy] Fix SHT_GROUP ordering.

[Jake Ehrlich via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

jakehehrlich added a comment.

Can we just sort in the layout code instead of sorting everything? Then we don't have to sort at all. I think we've largely been good about making operations stable so order should be maintained if just don't sort.



================
Comment at: llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/ELF/Object.cpp:1640
 void Object::sortSections() {
-  // Put all sections in offset order. Maintain the ordering as closely as
-  // possible while meeting that demand however.
+  // Use stable_sort to maintain the original ordering as closely as possible.
   llvm::stable_sort(Sections, [](const SecPtr &A, const SecPtr &B) {

The layout algorithm assumes that things are sorted by offset so we can't just delete this but we can sort a copy there instead.
