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.

for pre-2.9 bitcode files. We keep x86 unaligned loads, movnt, crc32, and the
target indep prefetch change.
As usual, updating the testsuite is a PITA.

aligned.
Teach memcpyopt to not give up all hope when confonted with an underaligned
memcpy feeding an overaligned byval. If the *source* of the memcpy can be
determined to be adequeately aligned, or if it can be forced to be, we can
eliminate the memcpy.
This addresses PR9794. We now compile the example into:
define i32 @f(%struct.p* nocapture byval align 8 %q) nounwind ssp {
entry:
%call = call i32 @g(%struct.p* byval align 8 %q) nounwind
ret i32 %call
}
in both x86-64 and x86-32 mode. We still don't get a tailcall though,
because tailcalls apparently can't handle byval.

20040709-1.c from the gcc testsuite. I was using the size of a
pointer instead of the pointee. This fixes rdar://8713376

allowing the memcpy to be eliminated.
Unfortunately, the requirements on byval's without explicit
alignment are really weak and impossible to predict in the
mid-level optimizer, so this doesn't kick in much with current
frontends. The fix is to change clang to set alignment on all
byval arguments.

refusing to optimize two memcpy's like this:
copy A <- B
copy C <- A
if it couldn't prove that noalias(B,C). We can eliminate
the copy by producing a memmove instead of memcpy.

Update tests to explicitly request -basicaa.

strings in the input filename.

integer and floating-point opcodes, introducing
FAdd, FSub, and FMul.
For now, the AsmParser, BitcodeReader, and IRBuilder all preserve
backwards compatability, and the Core LLVM APIs preserve backwards
compatibility for IR producers. Most front-ends won't need to change
immediately.
This implements the first step of the plan outlined here:
