Add a subclass of `MDScope` to explicitly categorize the legal scopes
for locals -- in particular, scopes that are legal for `MDLocation`,
`MDLexicalBlockBase`, and `MDLocalVariable`. This provides a convenient
`isa<>` target for the verifier, and eventually I'll be changing the
above classes' `getScope()` to specifically return it. Currently, its
subclasses are `MDSubprogram`, `MDLexicalBlock`, and
`MDLexicalBlockFile`.
I've gone with `MDLocalScope` for now -- a little ambiguous since it's a
scope *for* locals, not a scope that's local -- but I'm open to more
descriptive names if someone can think of something better. Regardless,
the code docs should make it clear enough.

Break MDExpression off of DebugNode (inherit directly from `MDNode`) and
drop the fake `DW_TAG_expression` tag in the process.
AFAICT, there's no real functionality change here. The tag was
originally used by `DIDescriptor::isExpression()` to discriminate
between `MDNode`s, but in the new hierarchy we don't need that.
Fixes PR22780.

Add specialized debug info metadata nodes that match the `DIDescriptor`
wrappers (used by `DIBuilder`) closely. Assembly and bitcode support to
follow soon (it'll mostly just be obvious), but this sketches in today's
schema. This is the first big commit (well, the only *big* one aside
from the testcase changes that'll come when I move this into place) for
PR22464.
I've marked a bunch of obvious changes as `TODO`s in the source; I plan
to make those changes promptly after this hierarchy is moved underneath
`DIDescriptor`, but for now I'm aiming mostly to match the status quo.

These things are potentially used for non-DWARF data (see the discussion
in PR22235), so take the `Dwarf` out of the name. Since the new name
gives fewer clues, update the doxygen to properly describe what they
are.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@226874 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
As part of PR22235, introduce `DwarfNode` and `GenericDwarfNode`. The
former is a metadata node with a DWARF tag. The latter matches our
current (generic) schema of a header with string (and stringified
integer) data and an arbitrary number of operands.
This doesn't move it into place yet; that change will require a large
number of testcase updates.

As pointed out in r226501, the distinction between `MDNode` and
`UniquableMDNode` is confusing. When we need subclasses of `MDNode`
that don't use all its functionality it might make sense to break it
apart again, but until then this makes the code clearer.

Remove `MDNodeFwdDecl` (as promised in r226481). Aside from API
changes, there's no real functionality change here.
`MDNode::getTemporary()` now forwards to `MDTuple::getTemporary()`,
which returns a tuple with `isTemporary()` equal to true.
The main point is that we can now add temporaries of other `MDNode`
subclasses, needed for PR22235 (I introduced `MDNodeFwdDecl` in the
first place because I didn't recognize this need, and thought they were
only needed to handle forward references).
A few things left out of (or highlighted by) this commit:
- I've had to remove the (few) uses of `std::unique_ptr<>` to deal
with temporaries, since the destructor is no longer public.
`getTemporary()` should probably return the equivalent of
`std::unique_ptr<T, MDNode::deleteTemporary>`.
- `MDLocation::getTemporary()` doesn't exist yet (worse, it actually
does exist, but does the wrong thing: `MDNode::getTemporary()` is
inherited and returns an `MDTuple`).
- `MDNode` now only has one subclass, `UniquableMDNode`, and the
distinction between them is actually somewhat confusing.
I'll fix those up next.

Add a new subclass of `UniquableMDNode`, `MDLocation`. This will be the
IR version of `DebugLoc` and `DILocation`. The goal is to rename this
to `DILocation` once the IR classes supersede the `DI`-prefixed
wrappers.
This isn't used anywhere yet. Part of PR21433.

Add generic dispatch for the parts of `UniquableMDNode` that cast to
`MDTuple`. This makes adding other subclasses (like PR21433's
`MDLocation`) easier.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@225697 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Split `GenericMDNode` into two classes (with more descriptive names).
- `UniquableMDNode` will be a common subclass for `MDNode`s that are
sometimes uniqued like constants, and sometimes 'distinct'.
This class gets the (short-lived) RAUW support and related API.
- `MDTuple` is the basic tuple that has always been returned by
`MDNode::get()`. This is as opposed to more specific nodes to be
added soon, which have additional fields, custom assembly syntax,
and extra semantics.
This class gets the hash-related logic, since other sublcasses of
`UniquableMDNode` may need to hash based on other fields.
To keep this diff from getting too big, I've added casts to `MDTuple`
that won't really scale as new subclasses of `UniquableMDNode` are
added, but I'll clean those up incrementally.
(No functionality change intended.)

Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.
I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.
This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.
Here's a quick guide for updating your code:
- `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
`MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from
the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
*not* have a `Type`.
- `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).
- `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.
If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
construction -- just use `MDNode*`.
- `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
`replaceAllUsesWith()`.
As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully
resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that
uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
"distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
operand went to null.)
If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also,
don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
construct them) are expensive.
- An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
`ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).
As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
`Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.
The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
`GlobalValue`s).
In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
site. If your old code was:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
you can trivially match its semantics with:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
- A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a
subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.
`MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
`LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other
`Metadata` subclass.
(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)
