GlobalOpt didn't know how to simulate InsertValueInst or
ExtractValueInst. Optimizing these is pretty straightforward.
N.B. This came up when looking at clang's IRGen for MS ABI member
pointers; they are represented as aggregates.

There were transforms whose *intent* was to downgrade the linkage of
external objects to have internal linkage.
However, it fired on things with private linkage as well.

This new IR facility allows us to represent the object-file semantic of
a COMDAT group.
COMDATs allow us to tie together sections and make the inclusion of one
dependent on another. This is required to implement features like MS
ABI VFTables and optimizing away certain kinds of initialization in C++.
This functionality is only representable in COFF and ELF, Mach-O has no
similar mechanism.

Folding a reference to a thread_local variable into another global
variable's initializer is very problematic, there is no relocation that
exists to represent such an access.

This patch changes the design of GlobalAlias so that it doesn't take a
ConstantExpr anymore. It now points directly to a GlobalObject, but its type is
independent of the aliasee type.
To avoid changing all alias related tests in this patches, I kept the common
syntax
@foo = alias i32* @bar
to mean the same as now. The cases that used to use cast now use the more
general syntax
@foo = alias i16, i32* @bar.
Note that GlobalAlias now behaves a bit more like GlobalVariable. We
know that its type is always a pointer, so we omit the '*'.
For the bitcode, a nice surprise is that we were writing both identical types
already, so the format change is minimal. Auto upgrade is handled by looking
through the casts and no new fields are needed for now. New bitcode will
simply have different types for Alias and Aliasee.
One last interesting point in the patch is that replaceAllUsesWith becomes
smart enough to avoid putting a ConstantExpr in the aliasee. This seems better
than checking and updating every caller.
A followup patch will delete getAliasedGlobal now that it is redundant. Another
patch will add support for an explicit offset.

There is no point in creating it if we're not going to vectorize
anything. Creating the map is expensive as it creates large values.

This moves most of GlobalOpt's constructor optimization
code out of GlobalOpt into Transforms/Utils/CDtorUtils.{h,cpp}. The
public interface is a single function OptimizeGlobalCtorsList() that
takes a predicate returning which constructors to remove.
GlobalOpt calls this with a function that statically evaluates all
constructors, just like it did before. This part of the change is
behavior-preserving.
Also add a call to this from GlobalDCE with a filter that removes global
constructors that contain a "ret" instruction and nothing else – this
fixes PR19590.

definition below all of the header #include lines, lib/Transforms/...
edition.
This one is tricky for two reasons. We again have a couple of passes
that define something else before the includes as well. I've sunk their
name macros with the DEBUG_TYPE.
Also, InstCombine contains headers that need DEBUG_TYPE, so now those
headers #define and #undef DEBUG_TYPE around their code, leaving them
well formed modular headers. Fixing these headers was a large motivation
for all of these changes, as "leaky" macros of this form are hard on the
modules implementation.

When GlobalOpt has determined that a GlobalVariable only ever has two values,
it would convert the GlobalVariable to a boolean, and introduce SelectInsts
at every load, to choose between the two possible values. These SelectInsts
introduce overhead and other unpleasantness.
This patch makes GlobalOpt just add range metadata to loads from such
GlobalVariables instead. This enables the same main optimization (as seen in
test/Transforms/GlobalOpt/integer-bool.ll), without introducing selects.
The main downside is that it doesn't get the memory savings of shrinking such
GlobalVariables, but this is expected to be negligible.

This requires a number of steps.
1) Move value_use_iterator into the Value class as an implementation
detail
2) Change it to actually be a *Use* iterator rather than a *User*
iterator.
3) Add an adaptor which is a User iterator that always looks through the
Use to the User.
4) Wrap these in Value::use_iterator and Value::user_iterator typedefs.
5) Add the range adaptors as Value::uses() and Value::users().
6) Update *all* of the callers to correctly distinguish between whether
they wanted a use_iterator (and to explicitly dig out the User when
needed), or a user_iterator which makes the Use itself totally
opaque.
Because #6 requires churning essentially everything that walked the
Use-Def chains, I went ahead and added all of the range adaptors and
switched them to range-based loops where appropriate. Also because the
renaming requires at least churning every line of code, it didn't make
any sense to split these up into multiple commits -- all of which would
touch all of the same lies of code.
The result is still not quite optimal. The Value::use_iterator is a nice
regular iterator, but Value::user_iterator is an iterator over User*s
rather than over the User objects themselves. As a consequence, it fits
a bit awkwardly into the range-based world and it has the weird
extra-dereferencing 'operator->' that so many of our iterators have.
I think this could be fixed by providing something which transforms
a range of T&s into a range of T*s, but that *can* be separated into
another patch, and it isn't yet 100% clear whether this is the right
move.
However, this change gets us most of the benefit and cleans up
a substantial amount of code around Use and User. =]

Move the test for this class into the IR unittests as well.
This uncovers that ValueMap too is in the IR library. Ironically, the
unittest for ValueMap is useless in the Support library (honestly, so
was the ValueHandle test) and so it already lives in the IR unittests.
Mmmm, tasty layering.

name might indicate, it is an iterator over the types in an instruction
in the IR.... You see where this is going.

I am really sorry for the noise, but the current state where some parts of the
code use TD (from the old name: TargetData) and other parts use DL makes it
hard to write a patch that changes where those variables come from and how
they are passed along.

As defined in LangRef, aliases do not have sections. However, LLVM's
GlobalAlias class inherits from GlobalValue, which means we can read and
set its section. We should probably ban that as a separate change,
since it doesn't make much sense for an alias to have a section that
differs from its aliasee.
Fixes PR18757, where the section was being lost on the global in code
from Clang like:
extern "C" {
__attribute__((used, section("CUSTOM"))) static int in_custom_section;
}

GlobalOpt's CleanupConstantGlobalUsers function uses a worklist array to manage
constant users to be visited. The pointers in this array need to be weak
handles because when we delete a constant array, we may also be holding a
pointer to one of its elements (or an element of one of its elements if we're
dealing with an array of arrays) in the worklist.
Fixes PR17347.

Major steps include:
1). introduces a not-addr-taken bit-field in GlobalVariable
2). GlobalOpt pass sets "not-address-taken" if it proves a global varirable
dosen't have its address taken.
3). AA use this info for disambiguation.

When a linkonce_odr value that is on the dso list is not unnamed_addr
we can still look to see if anything is actually using its address. If
not, it is safe to hide it.
This patch implements that by moving GlobalStatus to Transforms/Utils
and using it in Internalize.
