[COFF, ARM64] Align global symbol by size for ARM64 MSVC ABI 2019-05-02T00:38:14+00:00 Tom Tan Tom.Tan@microsoft.com 2019-05-02T00:38:14+00:00 b7c6d95af5e295c560d1445e7090e31eb9289932 According to alignment section in below ARM64 ABI document, MSVC could increase alignment of global data based on its total size. Clang doesn't do this. Compile the same symbol into different alignments by Clang and MSVC could cause link error because some instruction encodings, like 64-bit LDR/STR with immediate, require the target to be 8 bytes aligned, and linker could choose code stream with such LDR/STR instruction from MSVC and 4 bytes aligned data from Clang into final image, which actually cannot be linked together (see https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41506 for more details). https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/arm64-windows-abi-conventions?view=vs-2019#alignment Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D61225 llvm-svn: 359744
