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.

This implementation already exists as ConnectedVNInfoEqClasses in
LiveInterval.cpp, and it seems to be generally useful to have a light-weight way
of forming equivalence classes of small integers.
IntEqClasses doesn't allow enumeration of the elements in a class.

FIXME: autoconf should be aware of them.

This is a sorted interval map data structure for small keys and values with
automatic coalescing and bidirectional iteration over coalesced intervals.
Except for coalescing intervals, it provides similar functionality to std::map.
It is however much more compact for small keys and values, and hopefully faster
too.
The container object itself can hold the first few intervals without any
allocations, then it switches to a cache conscious B+-tree representation. A
recycling allocator can be shared between many containers, even between
containers holding different types.
The IntervalMap is initially intended to be used with SlotIndex intervals for:
- Backing store for LiveIntervalUnion that is smaller and faster than std::set.
- Backing store for LiveInterval with less overhead than std::vector for typical
intervals and O(N log N) merging of large intervals. 99% of virtual registers
need 4 entries or less and would benefit from the small object optimization.
- Backing store for LiveDebugVariable which doesn't exist yet, but will track
debug variables during register allocation.
This is a work in progress. Missing items are:
- Performance metrics.
- erase().
- insert() shrinkage.
- clear().
- More performance metrics.
- Simplification and detemplatization.

available targets unless LLVM_INCLUDE_X is ON. LLVM_BUILD_X implies
LLVM_INCLUDE_X"
It breaks the configuration phase when cmake is invoked without
parameters, it is too complex for the purpose and introduces an
incovenience for the user (as both LLVM_BUILD_X and LLVM_INCLUDE_X
must set to OFF for not including X on the build)
