argument of the llvm.dbg.declare/llvm.dbg.value intrinsics.
Previously, DIVariable was a variable-length field that has an optional
reference to a Metadata array consisting of a variable number of
complex address expressions. In the case of OpPiece expressions this is
wasting a lot of storage in IR, because when an aggregate type is, e.g.,
SROA'd into all of its n individual members, the IR will contain n copies
of the DIVariable, all alike, only differing in the complex address
reference at the end.
By making the complex address into an extra argument of the
dbg.value/dbg.declare intrinsics, all of the pieces can reference the
same variable and the complex address expressions can be uniqued across
the CU, too.
Down the road, this will allow us to move other flags, such as
"indirection" out of the DIVariable, too.
The new intrinsics look like this:
declare void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata %storage, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
declare void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata %storage, i64 %offset, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
This patch adds a new LLVM-local tag to DIExpressions, so we can detect
and pretty-print DIExpression metadata nodes.
What this patch doesn't do:
This patch does not touch the "Indirect" field in DIVariable; but moving
that into the expression would be a natural next step.

Rather than slurping in and splatting out the whole ctor list, preserve
the existing array entries without trying to understand them. Only
remove the entries that we know we can optimize away. This way we don't
need to wire through priority and comdats or anything else we might add.
Fixes a linker issue where the .init_array or .ctors entry would point
to discarded initialization code if the comdat group from the TU with
the faulty global_ctors entry was dropped.

GlobalOpt didn't know how to simulate InsertValueInst or
ExtractValueInst. Optimizing these is pretty straightforward.
N.B. This came up when looking at clang's IRGen for MS ABI member
pointers; they are represented as aggregates.

Before this patch we had
@a = weak global ...
but
@b = alias weak ...
The patch changes aliases to look more like global variables.
Looking at some really old code suggests that the reason was that the old
bison based parser had a reduction for alias linkages and another one for
global variable linkages. Putting the alias first avoided the reduce/reduce
conflict.
The days of the old .ll parser are long gone. The new one parses just "linkage"
and a later check is responsible for deciding if a linkage is valid in a
given context.

There were transforms whose *intent* was to downgrade the linkage of
external objects to have internal linkage.
However, it fired on things with private linkage as well.

Folding a reference to a thread_local variable into another global

exists to represent such an access.

This patch changes GlobalAlias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr and it is
up to MC (or the system assembler) to decide if that expression is valid or not.
This reduces our ability to diagnose invalid uses and how early we can spot
them, but it also lets us do things like
@test5 = alias inttoptr(i32 sub (i32 ptrtoint (i32* @test2 to i32),
i32 ptrtoint (i32* @bar to i32)) to i32*)
An important implication of this patch is that the notion of aliased global
doesn't exist any more. The alias has to encode the information needed to
access it in its metadata (linkage, visibility, type, etc).
Another consequence to notice is that getSection has to return a "const char *".
It could return a NullTerminatedStringRef if there was such a thing, but when
that was proposed the decision was to just uses "const char*" for that.

This allows us to put dynamic initializers for weak data into the same
comdat group as the data being initialized. This is necessary for MSVC
ABI compatibility. Once we have comdats for guard variables, we can use
the combination to help GlobalOpt fire more often for weak data with
guarded initialization on other platforms.

This patch changes the design of GlobalAlias so that it doesn't take a
ConstantExpr anymore. It now points directly to a GlobalObject, but its type is
independent of the aliasee type.
To avoid changing all alias related tests in this patches, I kept the common
syntax
@foo = alias i32* @bar
to mean the same as now. The cases that used to use cast now use the more
general syntax
@foo = alias i16, i32* @bar.
Note that GlobalAlias now behaves a bit more like GlobalVariable. We
know that its type is always a pointer, so we omit the '*'.
For the bitcode, a nice surprise is that we were writing both identical types
already, so the format change is minimal. Auto upgrade is handled by looking
through the casts and no new fields are needed for now. New bitcode will
simply have different types for Alias and Aliasee.
One last interesting point in the patch is that replaceAllUsesWith becomes
smart enough to avoid putting a ConstantExpr in the aliasee. This seems better
than checking and updating every caller.
A followup patch will delete getAliasedGlobal now that it is redundant. Another
patch will add support for an explicit offset.

Visibilities of `hidden` and `protected` are meaningless for symbols
with local linkage.
- Change the assembler to reject non-default visibility on symbols
with local linkage.
- Change the bitcode reader to auto-upgrade `hidden` and `protected`
to `default` when the linkage is local.
- Update LangRef.

This adds back r204781.
Original message:
Aliases are just another name for a position in a file. As such, the
regular symbol resolutions are not applied. For example, given
define void @my_func() {
ret void
}
@my_alias = alias weak void ()* @my_func
@my_alias2 = alias void ()* @my_alias
We produce without this patch:
.weak my_alias
my_alias = my_func
.globl my_alias2
my_alias2 = my_alias
That is, in the resulting ELF file my_alias, my_func and my_alias are
just 3 names pointing to offset 0 of .text. That is *not* the
semantics of IR linking. For example, linking in a
@my_alias = alias void ()* @other_func
would require the strong my_alias to override the weak one and
my_alias2 would end up pointing to other_func.
There is no way to represent that with aliases being just another
name, so the best solution seems to be to just disallow it, converting
a miscompile into an error.

When GlobalOpt has determined that a GlobalVariable only ever has two values,
it would convert the GlobalVariable to a boolean, and introduce SelectInsts
at every load, to choose between the two possible values. These SelectInsts
introduce overhead and other unpleasantness.
This patch makes GlobalOpt just add range metadata to loads from such
GlobalVariables instead. This enables the same main optimization (as seen in
test/Transforms/GlobalOpt/integer-bool.ll), without introducing selects.
The main downside is that it doesn't get the memory savings of shrinking such
GlobalVariables, but this is expected to be negligible.

On ELF and COFF an alias is just another name for a position in the file.
There is no way to refer to a position in another file, so an alias to
undefined is meaningless.
MachO currently doesn't support aliases. The spec has a N_INDR, which when
implemented will have a different set of restrictions. Adding support for
it shouldn't be harder than any other IR extension.
For now, having the IR represent what is actually possible with current
tools makes it easier to fix the design of GlobalAlias.

As defined in LangRef, aliases do not have sections. However, LLVM's
GlobalAlias class inherits from GlobalValue, which means we can read and
set its section. We should probably ban that as a separate change,
since it doesn't make much sense for an alias to have a section that
differs from its aliasee.
Fixes PR18757, where the section was being lost on the global in code
from Clang like:
extern "C" {
__attribute__((used, section("CUSTOM"))) static int in_custom_section;
}

GlobalOpt's CleanupConstantGlobalUsers function uses a worklist array to manage
constant users to be visited. The pointers in this array need to be weak
handles because when we delete a constant array, we may also be holding a

dealing with an array of arrays) in the worklist.

This reverts commit r189886.
I found a corner case where this optimization is not valid:
Say we have a "linkonce_odr unnamed_addr" in two translation units:
* In TU 1 this optimization kicks in and makes it hidden.
* In TU 2 it gets const merged with a constant that is *not* unnamed_addr,
resulting in a non unnamed_addr constant with default visibility.
* The static linker rules for combining visibility them produce a hidden
symbol, which is incorrect from the point of view of the non unnamed_addr
constant.
The one place we can do this is when we know that the symbol is not used from
another TU in the same shared object, i.e., during LTO. I will move it there.

Original message:
If a constant or a function has linkonce_odr linkage and unnamed_addr, mark
hidden. Being linkonce_odr guarantees that it is available in every dso that

DICompositeType will have an identifier field at position 14. For now, the
field is set to null in DIBuilder.
For DICompositeTypes where the template argument field (the 13th field)
was optional, modify DIBuilder to make sure the template argument field is set.
Now DICompositeType has 15 fields.
Update DIBuilder to use NULL instead of "i32 0" for null value of a MDNode.
Update verifier to check that DICompositeType has 15 fields and the last
field is null or a MDString.
Update testing cases to include an extra field for DICompositeType.
