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.

all over the place in different styles and variants. Standardize on two
preferred entrypoints: one that takes a StructType and ArrayRef, and one that
takes StructType and varargs.
In cases where there isn't a struct type convenient, we now add a
ConstantStruct::getAnon method (whose name will make more sense after a few
more patches land).
It would be "really really nice" if the ConstantStruct::get and
ConstantVector::get methods didn't make temporary std::vectors.

variable. Noticed by inspection.
Simulate memset in EvaluateFunction where the target of the memset and the
value we're setting are both the null value. Fixes PR10047!

has some bugs. If this is interesting functionality, it should be
reimplemented in the argpromotion pass.

mean that it has to be ConstantArray of ConstantStruct. We might have
ConstantAggregateZero, at either level, so don't crash on that.
Also, semi-deprecate the sentinal value. The linker isn't aware of sentinals so
we end up with the two lists appended, each with their "sentinals" on them.
Different parts of LLVM treated sentinals differently, so make them all just
ignore the single entry and continue on with the rest of the list.

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.
