Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}
I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines). I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.
This is part of PR21532.

An optional third field was added to `llvm.global_ctors` (and
`llvm.global_dtors`) in r209015. Most of the code has been changed to
deal with both versions of the variables. Users of the C API might
create either version, the helper functions in LLVM create the two-field
version, and clang now creates the three-field version.
However, the BitcodeReader was changed to always upgrade to the
three-field version. This created an unnecessary inconsistency in the
IR before/after serializing to bitcode.
This commit resolves the inconsistency by making the third field truly
optional (and not upgrading in the bitcode reader). Since `llvm-link`
was relying on this upgrade code, rather than deleting it I've moved it
into `ModuleLinker`, where it upgrades these arrays as necessary to
resolve inconsistencies between modules.
The ideal resolution would be to remove the 2-field version and make the
third field required. I filed PR20506 to track that.
I changed `test/Bitcode/upgrade-global-ctors.ll` to a negative test and
duplicated the `llvm-link` check in `test/Linker/global_ctors.ll` to
check both upgrade directions.
Since I came across this as part of PR5680 (serializing use-list order),
I've also added the missing `verify-uselistorder` RUN line to
`test/Bitcode/metadata-2.ll`.
