Generalize ScalarEvolution's isLoopGuardedByCond code to recognize
And and Or conditions, splitting the code out into an
isNecessaryCond helper function so that it can evaluate Ands and Ors

hoisting instructions out of loops.
test/CodeGen/X86/pr3495.ll has an additional instruction now, but

a wider type. This eliminates the need for IndVarSimplify to
micro-manage SCEV expansions, because SCEVExpander now
automatically expands them in the form that IndVarSimplify considers
to be canonical. (LSR still micro-manages its SCEV expansions,
because it's optimizing for the target, rather than for
other optimizations.)
Also, this uses the new getAnyExtendExpr, which has more clever
expression simplification logic than the IndVarSimplify code it
replaces, and this cleans up some ugly expansions in code such as
the included masked-iv.ll testcase.

though in cases where this isn't possible it falls back to casting
the pointer to i8* and emitting a GEP with that. Using GEP instructions
instead of ptrtoint+arithmetic+inttoptr helps pointer analyses that
don't use ScalarEvolution, such as BasicAliasAnalysis.
Also, make the AddrModeMatcher more aggressive in handling GEPs.
Previously it assumed that operand 0 of a GEP would require a register
in almost all cases. It now does extra checking and can do more
matching if operand 0 of the GEP is foldable. This fixes a problem
that was exposed by SCEVExpander using GEPs.

and generalize it so that it can be used by IndVarSimplify. Implement the
base IndVarSimplify transformation code using IVUsers. This removes
TestOrigIVForWrap and associated code, as ScalarEvolution now has enough
builtin overflow detection and folding logic to handle all the same cases,
and more. Run "opt -iv-users -analyze -disable-output" on your favorite
loop for an example of what IVUsers does.
This lets IndVarSimplify eliminate IV casts and compute trip counts in
more cases. Also, this happens to finally fix the remaining testcases
in PR1301.
Now that IndVarSimplify is being more aggressive, it occasionally runs
into the problem where ScalarEvolutionExpander's code for avoiding
duplicate expansions makes it difficult to ensure that all expanded
instructions dominate all the instructions that will use them. As a
temporary measure, IndVarSimplify now uses a FixUsesBeforeDefs function
to fix up instructions inserted by SCEVExpander. Fortunately, this code
is contained, and can be easily removed once a more comprehensive
solution is available.

These values aren't analyzable, so they don't care if more information

addition is never implicitly scaled. This not only eliminates the
need for special code like IndVars' EliminatePointerRecurrence

it lets the normal optimizations handle pointer expressions just
like integer expressions.
Also, since LLVM IR GEPs can't directly index into multi-dimensional
VLAs, moving the GEP analysis out of client code and into the SCEV
framework makes it easier for clients to handle multi-dimensional
VLAs the same way as other arrays.

- Some other small changes.
With this patch, LLVM and Clang should build properly and with far less noise under VS2008.

the inliner; prevents nondeterministic behavior
when the same address is reallocated.
Don't build call graph nodes for debug intrinsic calls;
they're useless, and there were typically a lot of them.

the set of blocks in which values are used, the set in which
values are live-through, and the set in which values are
killed. For the live-through and killed sets, conservative
approximations are used.

changes.
For InvokeInst now all arguments begin at op_begin().
The Callee, Cont and Fail are now faster to get by
access relative to op_end().
This patch introduces some temporary uglyness in CallSite.
Next I'll bring CallInst up to a similar scheme and then
the uglyness will magically vanish.
This patch also exposes all the reliance of the libraries
on InvokeInst's operand ordering. I am thinking of taking
care of that too.

to obtain debug info about them.
Introduce helpers to access debug info for global variables. Also introduce a
helper that works for both local and global variables.

and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function. If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.

get nice and happy stack traces when we crash in an optimizer or codegen. For
example, an abort put in UnswitchLoops now looks like this:
Stack dump:
0. Program arguments: clang pr3399.c -S -O3
1. <eof> parser at end of file
2. per-module optimization passes
3. Running pass 'CallGraph Pass Manager' on module 'pr3399.c'.
4. Running pass 'Loop Pass Manager' on function '@foo'
5. Running pass 'Unswitch loops' on basic block '%for.inc'
Abort
