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.

isn't an exact float. Also "fpext float 1.0 to float" is invalid IR because
it's not performing an extension.

rather than an int. Thankfully, this only causes LLVM to miss optimizations, not
generate incorrect code.
This just fixes the zext at the return. We still insert an i32 ZextAssert when
reading a function's arguments, but it is followed by a truncate and another i8
ZextAssert so it is not optimized.

Limit the folding of any_ext and sext into the load operation to scalars.
Limit the active-bits trunc optimization to scalars.
Document vector trunc and vector sext in LangRef.
Similar to commit 126080 (for enabling zext).

The DAGCombiner folds the zext into complex load instructions. This patch
prevents this optimization on vectors since none of the supported targets
knows how to perform load+vector_zext in one instruction.

Add a unnamed_addr bit to global variables and functions. This will be used
to indicate that the address is not significant and therefore the constant
or function can be merged with others.
If an optimization pass can show that an address is not used, it can set this.
Examples of things that can have this set by the FE are globals created to
hold string literals and C++ constructors.
Adding unnamed_addr to a non-const global should have no effect unless
an optimization can transform that global into a constant.
Aliases are not allowed to have unnamed_addr since I couldn't figure
out any use for it.

unbreaks test/Transforms/InstCombine/invariant.ll which was broken by r120382.
This is a fix-forward to do what I think Chris intended.

SrcMgrDiagHandler, we can improve clang diagnostics for inline asm:
instead of reporting them on a source line of the original line,
we can report it on the correct line wherever the string literal came
from. For something like this:
void foo() {
asm("push %rax\n"
".code32\n");
}
we used to get this: (note that the line in t.c isn't helpful)
t.c:4:7: error: warning: ignoring directive for now
asm("push %rax\n"
^
<inline asm>:2:1: note: instantiated into assembly here
.code32
^
now we get:
t.c:5:8: error: warning: ignoring directive for now
".code32\n"
^
<inline asm>:2:1: note: instantiated into assembly here
.code32
^
Note that we're pointing to line 5 properly now.

instruction at the beginning of each function that has the attribute, allowing
the function to be easily hooked and/or patched.

It's similar to "linker_private_weak", but it's known that the address of the
object is not taken. For instance, functions that had an inline definition, but
the compiler decided not to inline it. Note, unlike linker_private and
linker_private_weak, linker_private_weak_def_auto may have only default
visibility. The symbols are removed by the linker from the final linked image
(executable or dynamic library).

Make MDNode::destroy private.
Fix the one thing that used MDNode::destroy, outside of MDNode itself.
One should never delete or destroy an MDNode explicitly. MDNodes
implicitly go away when there are no references to them (implementation
details aside).
