In bug 1839743, we made the build system prefer packed relative relocations to elfhack when both the system libc and linker support them. Unfortunately, while that covers most of the benefits from elfhack, it doesn't cover bug 651892. To cover it, we make every C++ executable contain its own copy of the symbol, so that all relocations related to it become relative. And because this is actually (slightly) beneficial on macos, and because it's also an advantage to have our own abort called rather than the system's, we apply the same to all platforms.

// This function is used in vtables to point at pure virtual methods.
|
|
// The implementation in the standard library usually aborts, but
|
|
// the function is normally never called (a call would be a bug).
|
|
// Each of these entries in vtables, however, require an unnecessary
|
|
// dynamic relocation. Defining our own function makes the linker
|
|
// point the vtables here instead of the standard library, replacing
|
|
// the dynamic relocations with relative relocations.
|
|
//
|
|
// On Windows, it doesn't really make a difference, but on macOS it
|
|
// can be packed better, saving about 10KB in libxul, and on 64-bits
|
|
// ELF systems, with packed relative relocations, it saves 140KB.
|
|
//
|
|
// Another advantage of having our own is that we can use MOZ_CRASH
|
|
// instead of the system's abort.
