[Object][COFF] Allow section symbol to be common symbol
I ran into an lld-link error due to a symbol named ".idata$4" coming from some static library: .idata$4 should not refer to special section 0. Here is the symbol table entry for .idata$4: Symbol { Name: .idata$4 Value: 3221225536 Section: IMAGE_SYM_UNDEFINED (0) BaseType: Null (0x0) ComplexType: Null (0x0) StorageClass: Section (0x68) AuxSymbolCount: 0 } The symbol .idata$4 is a section symbol (IMAGE_SYM_CLASS_SECTION) and LLD currently handles it as a regular defined symbol since isCommon() returns false for this symbol. This results in the error ".idata$4 should not refer to special section 0" because lld-link asserts that regular defined symbols should not refer to section 0. Should this symbol be handled as a common symbol instead? LLVM currently only allows external symbols (IMAGE_SYM_CLASS_EXTERNAL) to be common symbols. However, the PE/COFF spec (see section "Section Number Values") does not seem to mention this restriction. Any thoughts? Reviewed By: thakis Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D133627
