3e49fe09db Remove a hack that tries to understand incorrect triples from the
Triple class constructor.  Only valid triples should now be used
inside LLVM - front-ends are now responsable for rejecting or
correcting invalid target triples.  The Triple::normalize method
can be used to straighten out funky triples provided by users.
Give this a whirl through the buildbots to see if I caught all
places where triples enter LLVM.

163660135e Create the new linker type "linker_private_weak_def_auto".
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).

7ae22e4471 re-commit r109220, the compile error has already been fixed
Simplifying use_iterators by dereferencing
is not a good idea. The codebase does not depend
in this any more, and it may introduce hidden
runtime cost. If you get compile errors, please
dereference your iterator before passing to cast<>
(and friends).

Also: please consider caching the result of
operator* and reusing that instead of dereferencing
many times.

2a08e2ce81 Remove interprocedural-basic-aa and associated code. The AliasAnalysis

concept.

eb15d2084a Rename "Release" builds as "Release+Asserts"; rename "Release-Asserts"
builds to "Release".  The default build is unchanged (optimization on,
assertions on), however it is now called Release+Asserts.  The intent
is that future LLVM releases released via llvm.org will be Release builds
in the new sense, i.e. will have assertions disabled (currently they have
assertions enabled, for a more than 20% slowdown).  This will bring them
in line with MacOS releases, which ship with assertions disabled.  It also
means that "Release" now means the same things in make and cmake builds:
cmake already disables assertions for "Release" builds AFAICS.

04beeefa61 Reword the definition of the noalias attribute. The intention is for
the noalias argument on function attributes be usable to model the
C99 restrict keyword on arguments, and to allow AliasAnalysis to
consider a noalias-attributed argument to be an "identified object".

To support this, refactor a new "based on" concept out of the current
pointer aliasing "associated" concept. This "based on" concept is very
similar to (though it is not identical with) the "based on" concept
in C99.

Also, reword the definition of NoAlias to more closely describe the
concept that the optimizer uses.

90b6422f2f Implement the "linker_private_weak" linkage type. This will be used for
Objective-C metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the
linker will remove upon final linkage. However, this linkage isn't specific to
Objective-C.

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".

Currently only supported on Darwin platforms.

6b8861e9f6 Overhauled llvm/clang docs builds. Closes PR6613.
NOTE: 2nd part changeset for cfe trunk to follow.

*** PRE-PATCH ISSUES ADDRESSED

- clang api docs fail build from objdir
- clang/llvm api docs collide in install PREFIX/
- clang/llvm main docs collide in install
- clang/llvm main docs have full of hard coded destination
  assumptions and make use of absolute root in static html files;
  namely CommandGuide tools hard codes a website destination
  for cross references and some html cross references assume
  website root paths

*** IMPROVEMENTS

- bumped Doxygen from 1.4.x -> 1.6.3
- splits llvm/clang docs into 'main' and 'api' (doxygen) build trees
- provide consistent, reliable doc builds for both main+api docs
- support buid vs. install vs. website intentions
- support objdir builds
- document targets with 'make help'
- correct clean and uninstall operations
- use recursive dir delete only where absolutely necessary
- added call function fn.RMRF which safeguards against botched 'rm -rf';
  if any target (or any variable is evaluated) which attempts
  to remove any dirs which match a hard-coded 'safelist', a verbose
  error will be printed and make will error-stop.

a75ad3c1ca Add an initial description of a new concept: trap values, and change
the definition of the nsw and nuw flags to make use of it.

nsw was introduced to help optimizers answer yes to the following:

  // Can we change i from i32 to i64 to eliminate the cast inside the loop?
  for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) A[i] *= 0.1;

  // Can we assume that this loop will eventually terminate?
  for (int i = 0; i <= n; ++i) A[i] *= 0.1;

In its current form, it isn't truly sufficient for either.

In the first case, if the increment overflows, it'll still have some
valid i32 value; sign-extending it will produce a value which is 33
homogeneous sign bits trailed by 31 independent undef bits. If i is
promoted to i64, it won't have those same values when it reaches that
point. (The compiler could recover here by reasoning about how i is
used by the load, but that's a lot more complicated and isn't always
possible.)

In the second case, there is no value for i which will be greater than
n, so having the increment return undef on overflow doesn't help.

Trap values are a formalization of some existing concepts that we have
about LLVM IR, and give the optimizers a better basis for answering yes
to both questions above.
