The register scavenger maintains a DistanceMap that maps MI pointers to their
distance from the top of the current MBB. The DistanceMap is built
incrementally in forward() and in bulk in findFirstUse(). It is used by
scavengeRegister() to determine which candidate register has the longest
unused interval.
Unfortunately the DistanceMap contents can become outdated. The first time
scavengeRegister() is called, the DistanceMap is filled to cover the MBB. If
then instructions are inserted in the MBB (as they always are following
scavengeRegister()), the recorded distances are too short. This causes bad
behaviour in the included test case where a register use /after/ the current
position is ignored because findFirstUse() thinks is is /before/ the current
position. A "using an undefined register" assertion follows promptly.
The fix is to build a fresh DistanceMap at the top of scavengeRegister(), and
discard it after use. This means that DistanceMap is no longer needed as a
RegScavenger member variable, and forward() doesn't need to update it.
The fix then discloses issue number two in the same test case: The candidate
search in scavengeRegister() finds a CSR that has been saved in the prologue,
but is currently unused. It would be both inefficient and wrong to spill such
a register in the emergency spill slot. In the present case, the emergency
slot restore is placed immediately before the normal epilogue restore, leading
to a "Redefining a live register" assertion.
Fix number two: When scavengerRegister() stumbles upon an unused register that
is overwritten later in the MBB, return that register early. It is important
to verify that the register is defined later in the MBB, otherwise it might be
an unspilled CSR.

the overloaded vector types allowed floating-point or integer vector elements.
Most of these operations actually depend on the element type, so bitcasting
was not an option.
If you include the vpadd intrinsics that I updated earlier, this gets rid
of 20 intrinsics.

and short. Well, it's kinda short. Definitely nasty and brutish.
The front-end generates the register/unregister calls into the SjLj runtime,
call-site indices and landing pad dispatch. The back end fills in the LSDA
with the call-site information provided by the front end. Catch blocks are
not yet implemented.
Built on Darwin and verified no llvm-core "make check" regressions.

This definitely slows down asm output so put it under an -asm-exuberant
flag.
This information is useful when doing static analysis of performance
issues.

instead of syntactically as a string. This means that it keeps track of the
segment, section, flags, etc directly and asmprints them in the right format.
This also includes parsing and validation support for llvm-mc and
"attribute(section)", so we should now start getting errors about invalid
section attributes from the compiler instead of the assembler on darwin.
Still todo:
1) Uniquing of darwin mcsections
2) Move all the Darwin stuff out to MCSectionMachO.[cpp|h]
3) there are a few FIXMEs, for example what is the syntax to get the
S_GB_ZEROFILL segment type?

take the table vectors as separate arguments, instead of the previous
approach where they were combined into one big vector.

2. Move section switch printing to MCSection virtual method which takes a
TAI. This eliminates textual formatting stuff from TLOF.
3. Eliminate SwitchToSectionDirective, getSectionFlagsAsString, and
TLOFELF::AtIsCommentChar.
