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.

fix: add a flag to MapValue and friends which indicates whether
any module-level mappings are being made. In the common case of
inlining, no module-level mappings are needed, so MapValue doesn't
need to examine non-function-local metadata, which can be very
expensive in the case of a large module with really deep metadata
(e.g. a large C++ program compiled with -g).
This flag is a little awkward; perhaps eventually it can be moved
into the ClonedCodeInfo class.

instead of cloning and RAUWing it.
- Make AbstractTypeUser a friend of Value so that it can offer
its subclasses a way to update a Value's type in place. This
is better than a universally visible setType method on Value,
and it's sufficient for the immediate need.
- Eliminate the constant "convert" functions. This eliminates a
lot of logic duplication, and fixes a complicated bug where a
constant can't actually be cloned during the type refinement
process because some of the types that its folder needs are
half-destroyed, being in the middle of refinement themselves.
- Move the getValType functions from being static overloaded
functions in Constants.cpp to be members of class template
specializations in ConstantsContext.h. This means that the
code ends up getting instantiated twice, however it also
makes it possible to eliminate all "convert" functions, so
it's not a big net code size increase. And if desired, the
duplicate instantiations could be eliminated with some
reorganization.

and clean recursive descent parser.
This change has a couple of ramifications:
1. The parser code is about 400 lines shorter (in what we maintain, not
including what is autogenerated).
2. The code should be significantly faster than the old code because we
don't have to work around bison's poor handling of datatypes with
ctors/dtors. This also makes the code much more resistant to memory
leaks.
3. We now get caret diagnostics from the .ll parser, woo.
4. The actual diagnostics emited from the parser are completely different
so a bunch of testcases had to be updated.
5. I now disallow "%ty = type opaque %ty = type i32". There was no good
reason to support this, it was just an accident of the old
implementation. I have no reason to think that anyone is actually using
this.
6. The syntax for sticking a global variable has changed to make it
unambiguous. I don't think anyone is depending on this since only clang
supports this and it is not solid yet, so I'm not worried about anything
breaking.
7. This gets rid of the last use of bison, and along with it the .cvs files.
I'll prune this from the makefiles as a subsequent commit.
There are a few minor cleanups that can be done after this commit (suggestions
welcome!) but this passes dejagnu testing and is ready for its time in the
limelight.

the second half of link-global-to-func.ll and causes some minor changes in
messages.
There are two TODOs here. First, this causes a regression in
2008-07-06-AliasWeakDest.ll, which is now failing (so I xfailed it). Anton,
I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at this. It should be
a matter of adding proper alias support to GetLinkageResult, and was probably
already a latent bug that would manifest with globals.
The second todo is to reimplement LinkAlias in the same pattern as
function and global linking. This should be pretty straight-forward for
someone who knows aliases, but isn't a requirement for correctness.

(replacing a function with a global). This is needed when building
llvm itself with LTO on darwin, because of the EXPLICIT_SYMBOL hack
in lib/system/DynamicLibrary.cpp.
Implementation of linking the other way will need to wait for a
cleanup of LinkFunctionProtos.

cases quoting of <{ didn't work out, so I changed the grep to check for }>
instead.
This fixes 7 testcases that were not properly running before.

Remove && from the end of the lines to prevent tests from throwing run
lines into the background. Also, clean up places where the same command
is run multiple times by using a temporary file.

global variables that needed to be passed in. This makes it possible to
add new global variables with only a couple changes (Makefile and llvm-dg.exp)
instead of touching every single dg.exp file.

This patch replaces the SymbolTable class with ValueSymbolTable which does
not support types planes. This means that all symbol names in LLVM must now
be unique. The patch addresses the necessary changes to deal with this and
removes code no longer needed as a result. This completes the bulk of the
changes for this PR. Some cleanup patches will follow.

Update these tests to not use the same name even though the type of the
value differs. After PR411 hits, type planes will be gone and it will be
illegal for a name to be used twice, regardless of type.

Remove "target endian/pointersize" or add "target datalayout" to make
the test parse properly or set the datalayout because defaults changes.
For PR645:
Make global names use the @ prefix.
For llvm-upgrade changes:
Fix test cases or completely remove use of llvm-upgrade for test cases
that cannot survive the new renaming or upgrade capabilities.

Tweak the RUN: lines of these tests to accommodate the renaming of
variables done by llvm-upgrade. The renaming occurs as a result of avoiding
name collisons for collapsed type planes. Conflicting names have a .u
(unsigned) or .s (signed) suffix added. This patch updates the grep
expression to accommodate the new names.

Update the test suite to accommodate the change from signed integer types
to signless integer types. The changes were of only a few kinds:
1. Make sure llvm-upgrade is run on the source which does the bulk of the
changes automatically.
2. Change things like "grep 'int'" to "grep 'i32'"
3. In several tests bitcasting caused the same name to be reused in the
same type plane. These had to be manually fixed. The fix was (generally)
to leave the bitcast and provide the instruction with a new name. This
should not affect the semantics of the test. In a few cases, the
bitcasts were known to be superfluous and irrelevant to the test case
so they were removed.
4. One test case uses a bytecode file which needed to be updated to the
latest bytecode format.

bunch of .cvsignore files to shut cvs up about known output from running
