Add a unnamed_addr bit to global variables and functions. This will be used
to indicate that the address is not significant and therefore the constant
or function can be merged with others.
If an optimization pass can show that an address is not used, it can set this.
Examples of things that can have this set by the FE are globals created to
hold string literals and C++ constructors.
Adding unnamed_addr to a non-const global should have no effect unless
an optimization can transform that global into a constant.
Aliases are not allowed to have unnamed_addr since I couldn't figure
out any use for it.

obvious places to change say "do not edit this file".)

Remove #uses comments from functions: they we're padded out to column 50
and were potentially confusing for externally visible functions.
going further, remove the "<i8**> [#uses=3]" comments entirely. They
add a lot of noise, confuse people about what the IR is, and don't add
any particular value. When the types are long it makes it really really
hard to read IR.
If someone is interested in this sort of thing, the right way to do this
is to implement an AsmAnnotationWriter that produces the same output, and
add a flag to llvm-dis (only) to produce this output.

It's similar to "linker_private_weak", but it's known that the address of the
object is not taken. For instance, functions that had an inline definition, but
the compiler decided not to inline it. Note, unlike linker_private and
linker_private_weak, linker_private_weak_def_auto may have only default
visibility. The symbols are removed by the linker from the final linked image
(executable or dynamic library).

Make MDNode::destroy private.
Fix the one thing that used MDNode::destroy, outside of MDNode itself.
One should never delete or destroy an MDNode explicitly. MDNodes
implicitly go away when there are no references to them (implementation
details aside).

PR7399. The asm parser already handles this. This is of dubious
utility (see the PR) but the asmprinter was clearly broken here.

Objective-C metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the
linker will remove upon final linkage. However, this linkage isn't specific to
Objective-C.
For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is defined like this:
.globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced
.align 3
l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc:
.quad _objc_msgSend_fixup
.quad L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1
This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have
the metadata defined with ".weak_definition".
Currently only supported on Darwin platforms.

Probably the best way to know that all getOperand() calls have been handled
is to replace that API instead of updating.

with a fix for self-hosting
rotate CallInst operands, i.e. move callee to the back
of the operand array
the motivation for this patch are laid out in my mail to llvm-commits:
more efficient access to operands and callee, faster callgraph-construction,
smaller compiler binary

I have audited all getOperandNo calls now, fixing
hidden assumptions. CallSite related uglyness will
be eliminated successively.
Note this patch has a long and griveous history,
for all the back-and-forths have a look at
CallSite.h's log.

This time I did a self-hosted bootstrap on Linux x86-64,
with no problems. Let's see how darwin 64-bit self-hosting
goes. At the first sign of failure I'll back this out.
Maybe the valgrind bots give me a hint of what may be wrong
(it at all).

dump the module instead of the function or smaller, since metadata kind are
attached to the module (not the context).
