[PATCH] PE+: Remove the stdcall fixup machinery

Oleg Tolmatcev <[email protected]>
Newsgroups gmane.comp.gnu.binutils
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Win64 has a single calling convention, so symbols never carry the @nn
stdcall decoration.  The stdcall fixup pass in pep.em can therefore
never find a match, and neither can --kill-at or --add-stdcall-alias,
both of which only act on names containing '@'.

Remove the stdcall fixup pass.  Besides being dead code, it traversed
the whole link hash table once per undefined cdecl symbol, so it was
quadratic.

The four affected options are still parsed, and now simply ignored, so
that command lines shared with i386 PE targets keep working.  They are
no longer listed in --help, and ld.texi records that they have no
effect on PE+ targets.

ld/ChangeLog:

	* emultempl/pep.em (pep_enable_stdcall_fixup, pep_undef_found_sym)
	(pep_undef_cdecl_match, set_decoration, pep_fixup_stdcalls):
	Remove.
	(gld${EMULATION_NAME}_list_options): Don't list --add-stdcall-alias,
	--disable-stdcall-fixup, --enable-stdcall-fixup or --kill-at.
	(gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option): Accept and ignore
	OPTION_KILL_ATS, OPTION_STDCALL_ALIASES,
	OPTION_ENABLE_STDCALL_FIXUP and OPTION_DISABLE_STDCALL_FIXUP.
	(gld${EMULATION_NAME}_after_open): Don't call pep_fixup_stdcalls.
	* ld.texi (--add-stdcall-alias, --enable-stdcall-fixup)
	(--kill-at): Note that these have no effect on PE+ targets.
