This shouldn't affect codegen for -O0 compiles as tail call markers are not
emitted in unoptimized compiles. Testing with the external/internal nightly
test suite reveals no change in compile time performance. Testing with -O1,
-O2 and -O3 with fast-isel enabled did not cause any compile-time or
execution-time failures. All tests were performed on my x86 machine.
I'll monitor our arm testers to ensure no regressions occur there.
In an upcoming clang patch I will be marking the objc_autoreleaseReturnValue
and objc_retainAutoreleaseReturnValue as tail calls unconditionally. While
it's theoretically true that this is just an optimization, it's an
optimization that we very much want to happen even at -O0, or else ARC
applications become substantially harder to debug.
