[MS ABI] Mangle symbols names longer than 4096 characters correctly
Really long symbols are hashed using MD5 and prefixed/suffixed with the usual sigils. There is an additional reason beyond the usual compatibility with MSVC, it is important to keep COFF symbols shorter than 0xFFFF because the CodeView debugging format has a maximum symbol/record size of 0xFFFF. There are some quirks worth noting: - Some mangled names reference other entities which are mangled separately. A quick example: int I; template <int *> struct S {}; S<I> s; In this case, the mangling for 's' doesn't depend directly on the mangling for 'I'. While 's' would need an MD5 hash if 'I' also needed one, the hash for 's' applied to the fully realized mangled name. In other words, the mangled name for 's' will not depend on the MD5 of the mangled name for 'I'. - Some mangled names, like the venerable CatchableType, embed the MD5 verbatim. - Finally, the complete object locator is handled as a special case. A complete object locators are mangled exactly like a VFTable except for a small deviation in the prefix sigils. However, complete object locators for hashed vftables result in a complete object locator whose name is identical to the vftable except for an additional suffix. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk@262818 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
