This feature is needed in order to support shifts of more than 255 bits
on large integer types. This changes the syntax for llvm assembly to
make shl, ashr and lshr instructions look like a binary operator:
shl i32 %X, 1
instead of
shl i32 %X, i8 1
Additionally, this should help a few passes perform additional optimizations.

1. New parameter attribute called 'inreg'. It has meaning "place this
parameter in registers, if possible". This is some generalization of
gcc's regparm(n) attribute. It's currently used only in X86-32 backend.
2. Completely rewritten CC handling/lowering code inside X86 backend.
Merged stdcall + c CCs and fastcall + fast CC.
3. Dropped CSRET CC. We cannot add struct return variant for each
target-specific CC (e.g. stdcall + csretcc and so on).
4. Instead of CSRET CC introduced 'sret' parameter attribute. Setting in
on first attribute has meaning 'This is hidden pointer to structure
return. Handle it gently'.
5. Fixed small bug in llvm-extract + add new feature to
FunctionExtraction pass, which relinks all internal-linkaged callees
from deleted function to external linkage. This will allow further
linking everything together.
NOTEs: 1. Documentation will be updated soon.
2. llvm-upgrade should be improved to translate csret => sret.
Before this, there will be some unexpected test fails.

Make the assembler generate a nice error message if a bad cast instruction
is attempted instead of asserting out. This is made possible by the
recently exposed method CastInst::castIsValid() which checks the validity
of any cast instruction.

rename Type::getIntegralTypeMask to Type::getIntegerTypeMask.
This makes naming much more consistent. For example, there are now no longer any
instances of IntegerType that are not considered isInteger! :)

* PIC-aware internal structures in X86 Codegen have been refactored
* Visibility (default/weak) has been added
* Docs fixes (external weak linkage, visibility, formatting)

Implement the arbitrary bit-width integer feature. The feature allows
integers of any bitwidth (up to 64) to be defined instead of just 1, 8,
16, 32, and 64 bit integers.
This change does several things:
1. Introduces a new Derived Type, IntegerType, to represent the number of
bits in an integer. The Type classes SubclassData field is used to
store the number of bits. This allows 2^23 bits in an integer type.
2. Removes the five integer Type::TypeID values for the 1, 8, 16, 32 and
64-bit integers. These are replaced with just IntegerType which is not
a primitive any more.
3. Adjust the rest of LLVM to account for this change.
Note that while this incremental change lays the foundation for arbitrary
bit-width integers, LLVM has not yet been converted to actually deal with
them in any significant way. Most optimization passes, for example, will
still only deal with the byte-width integer types. Future increments
will rectify this situation.
llvm-svn: 33113
Take an incremental step towards type plane elimination. This change
separates types from values in the symbol tables by finally making use
of the TypeSymbolTable class. This yields more natural interfaces for
dealing with types and unclutters the SymbolTable class.

Disallow merging of dupliate global variables. It is now illegal to declare
or define two global variables of the same name and same type. llvm-gcc3 is
dead in 2.0 and llvm-gcc4 doesn't have that problem nor need the hack.
llvm-svn: 32933
1. The @ sign is no longer necessary.
2. We now support "function attributes" as parameter attribute 0.
3. Instead of locating the return type attributes after the type of a
function result, they are now located after the function header's
closing paranthesis and before any alignment or section options.
4. The way has been prepared for a new "noreturn" function attribute but
there is no support for recognizing it in the lexer nor doing anything
with it if it does get set.
5. The FunctionType::getParamAttrsText method now has support for
returning multiple attributes. This required a change in its interface.
I'm unhappy that this change leads to 6 new shift/reduce conflicts, but
in each case bison's decision to choose the shift is correct so there
shouldn't be any damage from these conflicts.
llvm-svn: 32904
Major reorganization. This patch introduces the signedness changes for
the new integer types (i8, i16, i32, i64) which replace the old signed
versions (ubyte, sbyte, ushort, short, etc). This patch also implements
the function type parameter attributes feature. Together these conspired
to introduce new reduce/reduce errors into the grammar. Consequently, it
was necessary to introduce a new keyword into the grammar in order to
disambiguate. Without this, yacc would make incorrect shift/reduce and
reduce/reduce decisions and fail to parse the intended assembly.
Changes in assembly:
1. The "implementation" keyword is superfluous but still supported. You
can use it as a sentry which will ensure there are no remaining up
reference types. However, this is optional as those checks are also
performed elsewhere.
2. Parameter attributes are now implemented using an at sign to
indicate the attribute. The attributes are placed after the type
in a function declaration or after the argument value in a function
call. For example:
i8 @sext %myfunc(i16 @zext)
call i8 @sext %myfunc(i16 @zext %someVal)
The facility is available for supporting additional attributes and
they can be combined using the @(attr1,attr2,attr3) syntax. Right
now the only two supported are @sext and @zext
3. Functions must now be defined with the "define" keyword which is
analagous to the "declare" keyword for function declarations. The
introduction of this keyword disambiguates situations where a
named result type is confused with a new type or gvar definition.
For example:
%MyType = type i16
%MyType %func(%MyType) { ... }
With the introduction of optional parameter attributes between
the function name and the function result type, yacc will pick
the wrong rule to reduce unless it is disambiguated with "define"
before the function definition, as in:
define %MyType @zext %func(%MyType %someArg) { ... }
llvm-svn: 32781
Remove all grammar conflicts from assembly parsing. This change involves:
1. Making the "type" keyword not a primitive type (removes several
reduce/reduce conflicts)
2. Being more specific about which linkage types are allowed for functions
and global variables. In particular "appending" can no longer be
specified for a function. A differentiation was made between the various
internal and external linkage types.
3. Introduced the "define" keyword which is now required when defining a
function. This disambiguates several cases where a named function return
type could get confused with the definition of a new type. Using the
keyword eliminates all shift/reduce conflicts and the remaining
reduce/reduce conflicts.
These changes are necessary to implement the function parameter attributes
that will be introduced soon. Adding the function parameter attributes in
the presence of the shift/reduce and reduce/reduce conflicts led to severe
ambiguities that caused the parser to report syntax errors that needed to
be resolved. This patch resolves them.

This patch removes the SetCC instructions and replaces them with the ICmp
and FCmp instructions. The SetCondInst instruction has been removed and
been replaced with ICmpInst and FCmpInst.
