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.

it's not performing an extension.

rather than an int. Thankfully, this only causes LLVM to miss optimizations, not
generate incorrect code.
This just fixes the zext at the return. We still insert an i32 ZextAssert when
reading a function's arguments, but it is followed by a truncate and another i8
ZextAssert so it is not optimized.

The DAGCombiner folds the zext into complex load instructions. This patch
prevents this optimization on vectors since none of the supported targets
knows how to perform load+vector_zext in one instruction.

Add a unnamed_addr bit to global variables and functions. This will be used
to indicate that the address is not significant and therefore the constant
or function can be merged with others.
If an optimization pass can show that an address is not used, it can set this.
Examples of things that can have this set by the FE are globals created to
hold string literals and C++ constructors.
Adding unnamed_addr to a non-const global should have no effect unless
an optimization can transform that global into a constant.
Aliases are not allowed to have unnamed_addr since I couldn't figure
out any use for it.

SrcMgrDiagHandler, we can improve clang diagnostics for inline asm:
instead of reporting them on a source line of the original line,
we can report it on the correct line wherever the string literal came
from. For something like this:
void foo() {
asm("push %rax\n"
".code32\n");
}
we used to get this: (note that the line in t.c isn't helpful)
t.c:4:7: error: warning: ignoring directive for now
asm("push %rax\n"
^
<inline asm>:2:1: note: instantiated into assembly here
.code32
^
now we get:
t.c:5:8: error: warning: ignoring directive for now
".code32\n"
^
<inline asm>:2:1: note: instantiated into assembly here
.code32
^
Note that we're pointing to line 5 properly now.

It's similar to "linker_private_weak", but it's known that the address of the
object is not taken. For instance, functions that had an inline definition, but
the compiler decided not to inline it. Note, unlike linker_private and
linker_private_weak, linker_private_weak_def_auto may have only default
visibility. The symbols are removed by the linker from the final linked image
(executable or dynamic library).

Make MDNode::destroy private.
Fix the one thing that used MDNode::destroy, outside of MDNode itself.
One should never delete or destroy an MDNode explicitly. MDNodes
implicitly go away when there are no references to them (implementation
details aside).

the noalias argument on function attributes be usable to model the
C99 restrict keyword on arguments, and to allow AliasAnalysis to
consider a noalias-attributed argument to be an "identified object".
To support this, refactor a new "based on" concept out of the current
pointer aliasing "associated" concept. This "based on" concept is very
similar to (though it is not identical with) the "based on" concept
in C99.
Also, reword the definition of NoAlias to more closely describe the
concept that the optimizer uses.

Objective-C metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the
linker will remove upon final linkage. However, this linkage isn't specific to
Objective-C.
For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is defined like this:
.globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced
.align 3
l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc:
.quad _objc_msgSend_fixup
.quad L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1
This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have
the metadata defined with ".weak_definition".
Currently only supported on Darwin platforms.

NOTE: 2nd part changeset for cfe trunk to follow.
*** PRE-PATCH ISSUES ADDRESSED
- clang api docs fail build from objdir
- clang/llvm api docs collide in install PREFIX/
- clang/llvm main docs collide in install
- clang/llvm main docs have full of hard coded destination
assumptions and make use of absolute root in static html files;
namely CommandGuide tools hard codes a website destination
for cross references and some html cross references assume
website root paths
*** IMPROVEMENTS
- bumped Doxygen from 1.4.x -> 1.6.3
- splits llvm/clang docs into 'main' and 'api' (doxygen) build trees
- provide consistent, reliable doc builds for both main+api docs
- support buid vs. install vs. website intentions
- support objdir builds
- document targets with 'make help'
- correct clean and uninstall operations
- use recursive dir delete only where absolutely necessary
- added call function fn.RMRF which safeguards against botched 'rm -rf';
if any target (or any variable is evaluated) which attempts
to remove any dirs which match a hard-coded 'safelist', a verbose
error will be printed and make will error-stop.

of trying to cover the concept with a flurry of ad-hoc rules.

rigorous than the description it replaces.

the definition of the nsw and nuw flags to make use of it.
nsw was introduced to help optimizers answer yes to the following:
// Can we change i from i32 to i64 to eliminate the cast inside the loop?
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) A[i] *= 0.1;
// Can we assume that this loop will eventually terminate?
for (int i = 0; i <= n; ++i) A[i] *= 0.1;
In its current form, it isn't truly sufficient for either.
In the first case, if the increment overflows, it'll still have some
valid i32 value; sign-extending it will produce a value which is 33
homogeneous sign bits trailed by 31 independent undef bits. If i is
promoted to i64, it won't have those same values when it reaches that
point. (The compiler could recover here by reasoning about how i is
used by the load, but that's a lot more complicated and isn't always
possible.)
In the second case, there is no value for i which will be greater than
n, so having the increment return undef on overflow doesn't help.
Trap values are a formalization of some existing concepts that we have
about LLVM IR, and give the optimizers a better basis for answering yes
to both questions above.

This time it's for real! I am going to hook this up in the frontends as well.
The inliner has some experimental heuristics for dealing with the inline hint.
When given a -respect-inlinehint option, functions marked with the inline
keyword are given a threshold just above the default for -O3.
We need some experiments to determine if that is the right thing to do.

This changes the bitcode encoding format, and still needs codegen
