25// This file provides the std::__is_function_overridden utility, which allows checking
26// whether an overridable function (typically a weak symbol) like `operator new`
27// has been overridden by a user or not.
28//
29// This is a low-level utility which does not work on all platforms, since it needs
30// to make assumptions about the object file format in use. Furthermore, it requires
31// the "base definition" of the function (the one we want to check whether it has been
32// overridden) to be annotated with the _LIBCPP_MAKE_OVERRIDABLE_FUNCTION_DETECTABLE macro.
33//
34// This currently works with Mach-O files (used on Darwin) and with ELF files (used on Linux
35// and others). On platforms where we know how to implement this detection, the macro
36// _LIBCPP_CAN_DETECT_OVERRIDDEN_FUNCTION is defined to 1, and it is defined to 0 on
37// other platforms. The _LIBCPP_MAKE_OVERRIDABLE_FUNCTION_DETECTABLE macro is defined to
38// nothing on unsupported platforms so that it can be used to decorate functions regardless
39// of whether detection is actually supported.
40//
41// How does this work?
42// -------------------
43//
44// Let's say we want to check whether a weak function `f` has been overridden by the user.
45// The general mechanism works by placing `f`'s definition (in the libc++ built library)
46// inside a special section, which we do using the `__section__` attribute via the
47// _LIBCPP_MAKE_OVERRIDABLE_FUNCTION_DETECTABLE macro.
48//
49// Then, when comes the time to check whether the function has been overridden, we take
50// the address of the function and we check whether it falls inside the special function
51// we created. This can be done by finding pointers to the start and the end of the section
52// (which is done differently for ELF and Mach-O), and then checking whether `f` falls
53// within those bounds. If it falls within those bounds, then `f` is still inside the
54// special section and so it is the version we defined in the libc++ built library, i.e.
55// it was not overridden. Otherwise, it was overridden by the user because it falls
56// outside of the section.
57//
58// Important note
59// --------------
60//
61// This mechanism should never be used outside of the libc++ built library. In particular,
62// attempting to use this within the libc++ headers will not work at all because we don't
63// want to be defining special sections inside user's executables which use our headers.
64// This is provided inside libc++'s include tree solely to make it easier to share with
65// libc++abi, which needs the same mechanism.
