We were setting the comdat when functions were copied in the initial pass, but

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`.

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.

This new IR facility allows us to represent the object-file semantic of
a COMDAT group.
COMDATs allow us to tie together sections and make the inclusion of one
dependent on another. This is required to implement features like MS
ABI VFTables and optimizing away certain kinds of initialization in C++.
This functionality is only representable in COFF and ELF, Mach-O has no
similar mechanism.

Alias with unnamed_addr were in a strange state. It is stored in GlobalValue,
the language reference talks about "unnamed_addr aliases" but the verifier
was rejecting them.
It seems natural to allow unnamed_addr in aliases:
* It is a property of how it is accessed, not of the data itself.
* It is perfectly possible to write code that depends on the address
of an alias.
This patch then makes unname_addr legal for aliases. One side effect is that
the syntax changes for a corner case: In globals, unnamed_addr is now printed
before the address space.

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.

A further step to correctly emitting concrete out of line definitions
preceeding inlined instances of the same program.
To do this, emission of subprograms must be delayed until required since
we don't know which (abstract only (if there's no out of line
definition), concrete only (if there are no inlined instances), or both)
DIEs are required at the start of the module.
To reduce the test churn in the following commit that actually fixes the
bug, this commit introduces the lazy DIE construction and cleans up test
cases that are impacted by the changes in the resulting DIE ordering.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@209675 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
In an effort to fix inlined debug info in situations where the out of
line definition of a function preceeds any inlined usage, the order in
which some attributes are added to subprogram DIEs may change. (in
essence, definition-necessary attributes like DW_AT_low_pc/high_pc will
be added immediately, but the names, types, and other features will be
delayed to module end where they may either be added to the subprogram
DIE or instead reference an abstract definition for those values)
These tests can be generalized to be resilient to this change. 5 or so
tests actually have to be incompatibly changed to cope with this
reordering and will go along with the change that affects the order.

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.

This adds an OdrMemberMap to DwarfDebug which is used to unique C++
member function declarations based on the unique identifier of their
containing class and their mangled name.
We can't use the usual DIRef mechanism here because DIScopes are indexed
using their entire MDNode, including decl_file and decl_line, which need
not be unique (see testcase).
Prior to this change multiple redundant member function declarations would
end up in the same uniqued DW_TAG_class_type.

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.

We make the assumption that if a DIE is not added to an owner yet, we assume

their owners immediately after creation, and other DIEs belong to the current
CU, the assumption should be true.

This was done through the aid of a terrible Perl creation. I will not
paste any of the horrors here. Suffice to say, it require multiple
staged rounds of replacements, state carried between, and a few
nested-construct-parsing hacks that I'm not proud of. It happens, by
luck, to be able to deal with all the TCL-quoting patterns in evidence
in the LLVM test suite.
If anyone is maintaining large out-of-tree test trees, feel free to poke
me and I'll send you the steps I used to convert things, as well as
answer any painful questions etc. IRC works best for this type of thing
I find.
Once converted, switch the LLVM lit config to use ShTests the same as
Clang. In addition to being able to delete large amounts of Python code
from 'lit', this will also simplify the entire test suite and some of
lit's architecture.

just provide and reference separate input files from an Inputs
subdirectory. This pattern works very well in the Clang tree and is
easier to understand in my opinion. It also has fewer limitations and
will remove one particularly annoying use of TCL-style {} quoting from
the testsuite.
Also teach the LLVM lit configuration to avoid recursing into 'Inputs'
subdirectories. This wasn't required for the previous 'Inputs'
subdirectories used due to fortuitous suffix patterns.
This is the first step to completely removing support for TCL-style tests.

Module flags are key-value pairs associated with the module. They include a
'behavior' value, indicating how module flags react when mergine two
files. Normally, it's just the union of the two module flags. But if two module
flags have the same key, then the resulting flags are dictated by the behaviors.
Allowable behaviors are:
Error
Emits an error if two values disagree.
Warning
Emits a warning if two values disagree.
Require
Emits an error when the specified value is not present
or doesn't have the specified value. It is an error for
two (or more) llvm.module.flags with the same ID to have
the Require behavior but different values. There may be
multiple Require flags per ID.
Override
Uses the specified value if the two values disagree. It
is an error for two (or more) llvm.module.flags with the
same ID to have the Override behavior but different
values.

System V Application Binary Interface. This lets us use
-fvisibility-inlines-hidden with LTO.
Fixes PR11697.

merging types by name when we can. We still don't guarantee type name linkage
but we do it when obviously the right thing to do. This makes LTO type names
easier to read, for example.

internal nightly testers. Original commit message:
By popular demand, link up types by name if they are isomorphic and one is an
autorenamed version of the other. This makes the IR easier to read, because
we don't end up with random renamed versions of the types after LTO'ing a large
app.

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.
