In particular, Collector was confusing to implementors. Several
thought that this compile-time class was the place to implement
their runtime GC heap. Of course, it doesn't even exist at runtime.
Specifically, the renames are:
Collector -> GCStrategy
CollectorMetadata -> GCFunctionInfo
CollectorModuleMetadata -> GCModuleInfo
CollectorRegistry -> GCRegistry
Function::getCollector -> getGC (setGC, hasGC, clearGC)
Several accessors and nested types have also been renamed to be
consistent. These changes should be obvious.

methods are new to Function:
bool hasCollector() const;
const std::string &getCollector() const;
void setCollector(const std::string &);
void clearCollector();
The assembly representation is as such:
define void @f() gc "shadow-stack" { ...
The implementation uses an on-the-side table to map Functions to
collector names, such that there is no overhead. A StringPool is
further used to unique collector names, which are extremely
likely to be unique per process.

instruction creation. No support yet for instruction introspection.
Also eliminated allocas from the Ocaml bindings for portability,
and avoided unnecessary casts.

built atop the C language bindings, and user programs can link with them as
such:
# Bytecode
ocamlc -cc g++ llvm.cma llvmbitwriter.cma -o example example.ml
# Native
ocamlopt -cc g++ llvm.cmxa llvmbitwriter.cmxa -o example.opt example.ml
The vmcore.ml test exercises most/all of the APIs thus far bound. Unfortunately,
they're not yet numerous enough to write hello world. But:
$ cat example.ml
(* example.ml *)
open Llvm
open Llvm_bitwriter
let _ =
let filename = Sys.argv.(1) in
let m = create_module filename in
let v = make_int_constant i32_type 42 false in
let g = define_global "hello_world" v m in
if not (write_bitcode_file m filename) then exit 1;
dispose_module m;
$ ocamlc -cc g++ llvm.cma llvm_bitwriter.cma -o example example.ml
File "example.ml", line 11, characters 6-7:
Warning Y: unused variable g.
$ ./example example.bc
$ llvm-dis < example.bc
; ModuleID = '<stdin>'
@hello_world = global i32 42 ; <i32*> [#uses=0]
The ocaml test cases provide effective tests for the C interfaces.
