In order to reduce swift binary sizes, Apple is now stripping swift symbols from the nlist symbol table. llvm-nm currently only looks at the nlist symbol table and misses symbols that are present in dyld info. This makes it hard to know the set of symbols for a binary using just llvm-nm. Unless you know to run llvm-objdump -exports-trie that can output the exported symbols in the dyld info from the export trie, which does so but in a different format. Also moving forward the time may come a when a fully linked Mach-O file that uses dyld will no longer have an nlist symbol table to avoid duplicating the symbol information. This change adds three flags to llvm-nm, -add-dyldinfo, -no-dyldinfo, and -dyldinfo-only. The first, -add-dyldinfo, has the same effect as when the new bit in the Mach-O header, MH_NLIST_OUTOFSYNC_WITH_DYLDINFO, appears in a binary. In that it looks through the dyld info from the export trie and adds symbols to be printed that are not already in its internal SymbolList variable. The -no-dyldinfo option turns this behavior off. The -dyldinfo-only option only looks at the dyld information and recreates the symbol table from the dyld info from the export trie and binding information. As if it the Mach-O file had no nlist symbol table. Also fixed a few bugs with Mach-O N_INDR symbols not correctly printing the indirect name, or in the same format as the old nm-classic program. rdar://32021551 llvm-svn: 305733
