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.

1. Take a flags argument instead of a bool. This makes
it more clear to the reader what it is used for.
2. Add a flag that says that "remapping a value not in the
map is ok".
3. Reimplement MapValue to share a bunch of code and be a lot
more efficient. For lookup failures, don't drop null values
into the map.
4. Using the new flag a bunch of code can vaporize in LinkModules
and LoopUnswitch, kill it.
No functionality change.

source module *and* it must be merged (instead of simply replaced or appended
to), then merge instead of replacing or adding another global.
The ObjC __image_info section was being appended to because of this
failure. This caused a crash because the linker expects the image info section
to be a specific size.

llvm-svn: 115753
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.

which does the same thing. This eliminates redundant code and
handles MDNodes better. MDNode linking still doesn't fully
work yet though.
llvm-svn: 111941
metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the linker will
remove upon final linkage. For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is
defined like this:
.globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced
.align 3
l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc:
.quad _objc_msgSend_fixup
.quad L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1
This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have
the metadata defined with ".weak_definition".
llvm-svn: 107205
Modules and ModuleProviders. Because the "ModuleProvider" simply materializes
GlobalValues now, and doesn't provide modules, it's renamed to
"GVMaterializer". Code that used to need a ModuleProvider to materialize
Functions can now materialize the Functions directly. Functions no longer use a
magic linkage to record that they're materializable; they simply ask the
GVMaterializer.
Because the C ABI must never change, we can't remove LLVMModuleProviderRef or
the functions that refer to it. Instead, because Module now exposes the same
functionality ModuleProvider used to, we store a Module* in any
LLVMModuleProviderRef and translate in the wrapper methods. The bindings to
other languages still use the ModuleProvider concept. It would probably be
worth some time to update them to follow the C++ more closely, but I don't
intend to do it.
Fixes http://llvm.org/PR5737 and http://llvm.org/PR5735.

missing ones are libsupport, libsystem and libvmcore. libvmcore is
currently blocked on bugpoint, which uses EH. Once it stops using
EH, we can switch it off.
This #if 0's out 3 unit tests, because gtest requires RTTI information.
Suggestions welcome on how to fix this.

Linking modules containing aliases to GEPs is still not quite right. GEPs that are equivalent to bitcasts will be replaced by bitcasts, GEPs that are not will just break. Aliases to GEPs that are not equivalent to bitcasts are horribly broken anyway (it might be worth adding an assert when creating the alias to prevent these being created; they just cause problems later).

forcing them down into various .cpp files.
This change also:
1. Renames TimeValue::toString() and Path::toString() to ::str()
for similarity with the STL.
2. Removes all stream insertion support for sys::Path, forcing
clients to call .str().
3. Removes a use of Config/alloca.h from bugpoint, using smallvector
instead.
4. Weans llvm-db off <iostream>
sys::Path really needs to be gutted, but I don't have the desire to
do it at this point.

"private" symbols which the assember shouldn't strip, but which the linker may
remove after evaluation. This is mostly useful for Objective-C metadata.
This is plumbing, so we don't have a use of it yet. More to come, etc.

This adds location info for all llvm_unreachable calls (which is a macro now) in
!NDEBUG builds.
In NDEBUG builds location info and the message is off (it only prints
"UREACHABLE executed").
llvm-svn: 75640
Make llvm_unreachable take an optional string, thus moving the cerr<< out of
line.
LLVM_UNREACHABLE is now a simple wrapper that makes the message go away for
NDEBUG builds.

to support C99 inline, GNU extern inline, etc. Related bugzilla's
include PR3517, PR3100, & PR2933. Nothing uses this yet, but it
appears to work.

and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function. If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.

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.
llvm-svn: 53548
(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.

client that cares and simplifying its control flow.
Remove the DestST argument to ResolveTypes and RecursiveResolveTypes*
which are dead now.

the section or the visibility from one global
value to another: copyAttributesFrom. This is
particularly useful for duplicating functions:
previously this was done by explicitly copying
each attribute in turn at each place where a
new function was created out of an old one, with
the result that obscure attributes were regularly
forgotten (like the collector or the section).
Hopefully now everything is uniform and nothing
is forgotten.
llvm-svn: 51567
are represented as "weak", but there are subtle differences
in some cases on Darwin, so we need both. The intent
is that "common" will behave identically to "weak" unless
somebody changes their target to do something else.
No functional change as yet.

strings anyway.

the function type, instead they belong to functions
and function calls. This is an updated and slightly
corrected version of Reid Spencer's original patch.
The only known problem is that auto-upgrading of
bitcode files doesn't seem to work properly (see
test/Bitcode/AutoUpgradeIntrinsics.ll). Hopefully
a bitcode guru (who might that be? :) ) will fix it.

1. Eliminate redundant error messages. LinkInFile and LinkInArchive
already call the error() method in each case so there's no use
telling the user again that an item couldn't be linked in.
2. Improve the formatting of error messages (separating content).
3. Change the wording for the warning about unrecognized files. Make
it clear that the file is being ignored.
llvm-svn: 41121
that it is native so that the linker will pass it on downstream. This avoids
a problem where the native link line fails because there is both a .so and
a .a file. The .a file gets processed as bytecode and then dropped from the
command line.
llvm-svn: 36584
Use local variable names that match the function parameter name that it
is passed to so the code is more clear, to wit: is_bytecode -> is_native
llvm-svn: 35656
Implement file tests for both LinkInLibrary and LinkInFile to determine if
the file is native. Don't generate warnings if the file is native.
llvm-svn: 35653
api's look like this:
ModuleProvider *getBytecodeModuleProvider(
const std::string &Filename, ///< Name of file to be read
BCDecompressor_t *BCDC = Compressor::decompressToNewBuffer,
std::string* ErrMsg = 0, ///< Optional error message holder
BytecodeHandler* H = 0 ///< Optional handler for reader events
);
This is ugly, but allows a client to say:
getBytecodeModuleProvider("foo", 0);
If they do this, there is no dependency on the compression libraries, saving
codesize.
llvm-svn: 34012
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.
