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.

one Value set. This is faster because we only need to use the set when there
isn't already an entry in the map. No functionality change!

could end up removing a different function than we intended because it was
functionally equivalent, then end up with a comparison of a function against
itself in the next round of comparisons (the one in the function set and the
one on the deferred list). To fix this, I introduce a choice in the form of
comparison for ComparableFunctions, either normal or "pointer only" used to
find exact Function*'s in lookups.
Also add some debugging statements.

that might have changed been affected by a merge elsewhere will have been
removed from the function set, and it isn't needed for performance because we
call grow() ahead of time to prevent reallocations.

merge vector<intptr_t>::push_back() and vector<void*>::push_back() because
Enumerate() doesn't realize that "i64* null" and "i8** null" are equivalent.

maintains the guarantee that the DenseSet expects two elements it contains to
not go from inequal to equal under its nose.
As a side-effect, this also lets us switch from iterating to a fixed-point to
actually maintaining a work queue of functions to look at again, and we don't
add thunks to our work queue so we don't need to detect and ignore them.

must be called in the pass's constructor. This function uses static dependency declarations to recursively initialize
the pass's dependencies.
Clients that only create passes through the createFooPass() APIs will require no changes. Clients that want to use the
CommandLine options for passes will need to manually call the appropriate initialization functions in PassInitialization.h
before parsing commandline arguments.
I have tested this with all standard configurations of clang and llvm-gcc on Darwin. It is possible that there are problems
with the static dependencies that will only be visible with non-standard options. If you encounter any crash in pass
registration/creation, please send the testcase to me directly.

Switch from isWeakForLinker to mayBeOverridden which is more accurate.
Add more statistics and debugging info. Add comments. Move static function
outside anonymous namespace.

strong functions first to make sure they're the canonical definitions and then
do a second pass looking only for weak functions.

two are weak, we make them thunks to a new strong function) so don't iterate
through the function list as we're modifying it.
Also add back the outermost loop which got removed during the cleanups.

where we hash, compare and fold, instead of one iteration where we build up
the hash buckets and a second one to fold.

Further clean up the comparison function by removing overly generalized
"domains".
Remove all understanding of ELF aliases and simplify folding code and comments.

Start cleaning up MergeFunctions to look more like the rest of LLVM. The
primary change here is to move the methods responsible for comparison into the
new FunctionComparator object. Some comments added. There's more to do.

builds to "Release". The default build is unchanged (optimization on,
assertions on), however it is now called Release+Asserts. The intent
is that future LLVM releases released via llvm.org will be Release builds
in the new sense, i.e. will have assertions disabled (currently they have
assertions enabled, for a more than 20% slowdown). This will bring them
in line with MacOS releases, which ship with assertions disabled. It also
means that "Release" now means the same things in make and cmake builds:
cmake already disables assertions for "Release" builds AFAICS.

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.
