returning error codes. Because they don't return an error code, they can
return the value read, which simplifies the code and makes the reader more
efficient (yaay!).
Also eliminate the special case code for little endian machines.

intended to save size (and does on small programs), but on big programs it
actually increases the size of the program slightly. The deal is that many
functions end up using the characters that the string contained, and the
characters are no longer in the global constant table, so they have to be
emitted in function specific constant pools.
This pessimization will be fixed in subsequent patches.

Since this really only makes sense for these two, change hte instance variable
to reflect whether we are writing a bytecode file or not. This makes it
reasonable to add bcwriter specific stuff to it as necessary.

The first change (which is disabled) compactifies all of the function constant
pools into the global constant pool, in an attempt to reduce the amount of
duplication and overhead. Unfortunately, as the comment indicates, this is
not yet a win, so it is disabled.
The second change sorts the typeid's so that those types that can be used
by instructions in the program appear earlier in the table than those that
cannot (such as structures and arrays). This causes the instructions to
be able to use the dense encoding more often, saving about 5K on 254.gap.
This is only a .65% savings though, unfortunately. :(

occurs when the symbol table for a module has been stripped, making all of the
function local symbols go away.
This saves 6728 bytes in the stripped bytecode file of 254.gap (which obviously
has 841 functions), which isn't a ton, but helps and was easy.

* Refactor reader stuff out of include/llvm/Bytecode/Primitives.h. This is
internal implementation details for the reader, not public interfaces!

Modified ReadArchiveBuffer() so that it dynamically allocates the
std::string object used to hold the bytecode object file's name. This is
necessary because it is passed by reference to the new Module that is
allocated to represent the bytecode object, and previously we were
using a std::string that disappeared on function exit.

beginning of the archive member data as an argument.
Get rid of ParseLongFilenameSection(), which is dead.
In ReadArchiveBuffer(), implement support for 4.4BSD/MacOSX long filenames.
This is kind of invasive, because they prepend the long filename to the archive
member data, and then lie about the size. So we have to keep track of the real
size.

each basic block in function. Instead, just emit a stream of instructions,
chopping up basic blocks based on when we find terminator instructions. This
saves a fairly substantial chunk of bytecode space. In stripped, sample
cases, for example, we get this reduction in size:
197.parser: 163036 -> 137180: 18.8% reduction
254.gap : 844936 -> 689392: 22.6%
255.vortex: 621724 -> 528444: 17.7%
...
Not bad for something this simple. :) Note that this doesn't require a new
bytecode version number at all, though version 1.1 should not need to support
the old format.

* Strength reduce several data structures which were left over from the
"bad old days"
* Minor efficiency improvements
* Major efficiency improvement: In BytecodeParser::insertValue, do not allocate
a new ValueTab entry just because some value exists with a large type. This
dramatically reduces the number of allocations/deallocations performed by the
bytecode reader, and speeds up parsing of Kimwitu++ from 34s to 17s. This is
to help address PR127

For now, we translate linkonce into weak linkage in the bytecode format because
we don't have enough bits to represent it. We will rev the bytecode version
soon anyways, so this will be fixed in the near future.

On a large testcase, this reduces time to parse from 2.17s to 1.58s.

changes:
* BytecodeReader::getType(...) used to return a null pointer
on error. This was only checked about half the time. Now we convert
it to throw an exception, and delete the half that checked for error.
This was checked in before, but psmith crashed and lost the change :(
* insertValue no longer returns -1 on error, so callers don't need to
check for it.
* Substantial rewrite of InstructionReader.cpp, to use more efficient,
simpler, data structures. This provides another 5% speedup. This also
makes the code much easier to read and understand.

simplifies the control flow a bit. This provides a small (~3%) speedup,
but it's primarily a cleanup exercise.

new, simpler, ForwardReferences data structure. This is just the first
simple replacement, subsequent changes will improve the code more.
This simple change improves the performance of loading a file from HDF5
(contributed by Bill) from 2.36s to 1.93s, a 22% improvement. This
presumably has to do with the fact that we only create ONE placeholder for
a particular forward referenced values, and also may be because the data
structure is much simpler.

in the bytecode parser. Before we tried to shoehorn basic blocks into the
"getValue" code path with other types of values. For a variety of reasons
this was a bad idea, so this patch separates it out into its own data structure.
This simplifies the code, makes it fit in 80 columns, and is also much faster.
In a testcase provided by Bill, which has lots of PHI nodes, this patch speeds
up bytecode parsing from taking 6.9s to taking 2.32s. More speedups to
follow later.

- no more passing around a string pointer to set errors
- no more returning booleans and checking for errors, we use C++ exceptions
* Broke functionality into 2 new classes, one reads from file, one from a stream

expressions involving undefined types!)

- Null values are implicitly encoded instead of explicitly, this makes
things more compact!
- More compactly represent ConstantPointerRefs
- Bytecode files are represented as:
Header|GlobalTypes|GlobalVars/Function Protos|Constants|Functions|SymTab
instead of
Header|GlobalTypes|Constants|GlobalVars/Function Protos|Functions|SymTab
which makes a lot of things simpler.
Writer changes:
- We now explictly encode versioning information in the bytecode files.
- This allows new code to read bytecode files produced by old code, but
new bytecode files can have enhancements such as the above. Although this
makes the reader a bit more complex (having to deal with old formats), the
writer only needs to be able to produce the most recent version.
