[LLVMdev] [lld] Verifying the Architecture of files read

[Shankar Easwaran]

Hi,

It is needed that lld verifies the input to the linker.

For example : a x86 ELF file can be given to lld when the target is 
x86_64. Similiarly with other flavors.

I was thinking to have a varargs function in the LinkingContext that 
would be overridden by each of the LinkingContexts to verify files after 
being read.

The reader would call the varargs function in the LinkingContext and 
raise an error if the input is not suitable with the current link mode.

Thanks

Shankar Easwaran
