When lazy reading a module, the types used in a function will not be visible to
a TypeFinder until the body is read.
This patch fixes that by asking the module for its identified struct types.
If a materializer is present, the module asks it. If not, it uses a TypeFinder.
This fixes pr21374.
I will be the first to say that this is ugly, but it was the best I could find.
Some of the options I looked at:
* Asking the LLVMContext. This could be made to work for gold, but not currently
for ld64. ld64 will load multiple modules into a single context before merging
them. This causes us to see types from future merges. Unfortunately,
MappedTypes is not just a cache when it comes to opaque types. Once the
mapping has been made, we have to remember it for as long as the key may
be used. This would mean moving MappedTypes to the Linker class and having
to drop the Linker::LinkModules static methods, which are visible from C.
* Adding an option to ignore function bodies in the TypeFinder. This would
fix the PR by picking the worst result. It would work, but unfortunately
we are currently quite dependent on the upfront type merging. I will
try to reduce our dependency, but it is not clear that we will be able
to get rid of it for now.
The only clean solution I could think of is making the Module own the types.
This would have other advantages, but it is a much bigger change. I will
propose it, but it is nice to have this fixed while that is discussed.
With the gold plugin, this patch takes the number of types in the LTO clang
binary from 52817 to 49669.

To do this, change the representation of lazy loaded functions.
The previous representation cannot differentiate between a function whose body
has been removed and one whose body hasn't been read from the .bc file. That
means that in order to drop a function, the entire body had to be read.

The attached patch simplifies a few interfaces that don't need to take
ownership of a buffer.
For example, both parseAssembly and parseBitcodeFile will parse the
entire buffer before returning. There is no need to take ownership.
Using a MemoryBufferRef makes it obvious in the type signature that
there is no ownership transfer.

This allows us to just use a std::unique_ptr to store the pointer to the buffer.
The flip side is that they have to support releasing the buffer back to the
caller.
Overall this looks like a more efficient and less brittle api.

This is a minimal change to remove the header. I will remove the occurrences
of "using std::error_code" in a followup patch.

implementation already lived.
After this commit, the only IR-library headers in include/llvm/* are
ones related to the legacy pass infrastructure that I'm planning to
leave there until the new one is farther along.
The only other headers at the top level are linking and initialization
aids that aren't really libraries but just headers.
