It appears that the number of sections in a mach-o file is to be  
limited to 256.
Whilst we all (probably) agree that the documentation is not clear  
about this, there is likely little point in jumping up and down...

It's a show-stopper for LTO with current darwin tool-chains where 'as'  
errors-out for section count > 256.

... so here is a patch that implements a wrapper scheme on top of mach- 
o (used presently only for LTO - but in the most general sense  
available elsewhere to mach-o should the problem re-emerge).

The scheme is switched on by specifying a segment name to  
simple_object_mach_o_match () and always for the __GNU_LTO segment in  
darwin.c.

When the scheme is engaged, three sections are expected within the  
specified segment: an index, a name table and a 'sects' section.

All the section data from the segment are concatenated within the  
'sects' section with the offset to each 'input section', its length  
and its name recorded in the index.  The names themselves are stored  
in a separate table, with identical layout to the original scheme that  
allowed arbitrary section name lengths to be used with mach-o.

I guess that one might consider adding some padding to the index to  
cater for a possible future use of flags or alignment info (but I  
haven't done that at this stage).

Whilst it is darwin-specific, it does need to touch the simple-object  
stuff in libiberty - so I need approval there.

tested with bootstrap-lto across the darwin9, 10 and 11 range on 4.6  
and trunk (11 on trunk only).
The 4.6 tests included Ada, (but Ada won't 'bootstrap-lto' on trunk at  
present for unrelated reasons).

OK for trunk and 4.6 ?

Ok for all my bits.  I don't know if others want me to own the darwin bits in libiberty, or if they want to own them...  I'll let them chime in.

Space after '*'.

Are we sure it is OK to drop support for __section_names?  Won't that
mean that any old LTO files will not work with new gcc?  Is that OK?

I'm not sure this error message change is an improvement.  This error
message may be seen by end users, not just developers.  I think more end
users will understand "object file."  Why do you want to make this
change?

Is there a reason that you are changing the code to support not
specifying a segment?  Should that be a separate change?

Please initialize variables where they are used, not at the start of the
function.

Please write "omr->segment_name != NULL &&".  Please don't test whether
omr->segment_name is the empty string.  The description of the function
does not make a special case for an empty segment name, so I don't see
why this code should.  If you do need to for the empty string for some
reason, please write "omr->segment_name[0] != '\0'", not "strlen
(omr->segment_name) > 0".

This is clearly wrong.  The last line should be namebuf + l.  But as
noted above I'm not sure why you need this functionality at all.

Why implement the case of segment_name == NULL?  Why make a zero-length
segment name a special case?  If you need to handle a zero-length
segment name for some reason, you need to document that in
libiberty/simple-object.h.

If you need to test the length, test using [0], not strlen, as per
above.

Please initialize variables where you need them.

The libiberty library is meant to be highly portable, which means that
types like "uint32_t" are not available.  Just use "unsigned int".

Please write "len > 0".  But really you don't have to test this as
strncpy will do the right thing.

Hello Ian,

I'll re-jig with the typographical changes (sorry that were so  
many ... )
... and re-post - but I'd like to clear up a couple of points first.

I was under the impression that an lto built with an earlier revision  
of gcc would not interwork anyway.

If that is mistaken, then we could re-enable the option to allow both  
(I had that in the previous version, in fact).

I'll separate it out.
I think that it could help us build some small tools to assist in  
making GCC output more closely match what the system tool-chain is  
expecting (e.g. stripping off LTO sections).  But that would require  
being able to read all sections as they come and then apply a filter.

Perhaps it's just better to invest the time in BFD, but that does mean  
the user having to build a second set of stuff or a combined tree.

thanks for reviewing and sorry about the number of trivial errors.
