patch brings numerous advantages to LLVM. One way to look at it
is through diffstat:
109 files changed, 3005 insertions(+), 5906 deletions(-)
Removing almost 3K lines of code is a good thing. Other advantages
include:
1. Value::getType() is a simple load that can be CSE'd, not a mutating
union-find operation.
2. Types a uniqued and never move once created, defining away PATypeHolder.
3. Structs can be "named" now, and their name is part of the identity that
uniques them. This means that the compiler doesn't merge them structurally
which makes the IR much less confusing.
4. Now that there is no way to get a cycle in a type graph without a named
struct type, "upreferences" go away.
5. Type refinement is completely gone, which should make LTO much MUCH faster
in some common cases with C++ code.
6. Types are now generally immutable, so we can use "Type *" instead
"const Type *" everywhere.
Downsides of this patch are that it removes some functions from the C API,
so people using those will have to upgrade to (not yet added) new API.
"LLVM 3.0" is the right time to do this.
There are still some cleanups pending after this, this patch is large enough
as-is.

the old malloc/free instructions, and for 'sext' and 'zext' as function
attributes (they are spelled signext/zeroext now), and support for result
value attributes being specified after a function.
Additionally, diagnose invalid attributes on functions with an error message
instead of an abort in the verifier.

We would return the error without inserting the new instruction
into the program, so it wouldn't get deallocated, and an abort
would trigger when the module was deleted.

to used deferred resolution instead of creating a temporary
node + rauw. There is no reason to create the temporary
mdnode, then do rauw, then destroy it.

and ignore a spurious comma after some instructions.

next project. Testcase will go in once that works.

Update all analysis passes and transforms to treat free calls just like FreeInst.
Remove RaiseAllocations and all its tests since FreeInst no longer needs to be raised.

Update testcases that rely on malloc insts being present.
Also prematurely remove MallocInst handling from IndMemRemoval and RaiseAllocations to help pass tests in this incremental step.
