Without them they can be merged with non unnamed_addr constants during LTO.
The resulting constant is not unnamed_addr and goes in a different section,
which causes ld64 to crash.
A testcase that would crash before:
* file1.mm:
void g(id notification) {
[notification valueForKey:@"name"];
}
* file2.cpp:
extern const char js_name_str[] = "name";
* file3.cpp
extern bool JS_GetProperty(const char *name);
extern const char js_name_str[];
bool js_ReportUncaughtException() { JS_GetProperty(js_name_str); }
run
clang file1.mm -o file1.o -c -w -emit-llvm
clang file2.cpp -o file2.o -c -w -emit-llvm
clang file3.cpp -o file3.o -c -w
ld -dylib -o XUL file1.o file2.o file3.o -undefined dynamic_lookup.

Various tests had sprung up over the years which had --check-prefix=ABC on the
RUN line, but "CHECK-ABC:" later on. This happened to work before, but was
strictly incorrect. FileCheck is getting stricter soon though.

section. A 'normal' string will go into the __TEXT,__const section, but this
isn't good for UTF16 strings. The __ustring section allows for coalescing, among
other niceties (such as allowing the linker to easily split up strings).
Instead of outputting the UTF16 string as a series of bytes, output it as a
series of shorts. The back-end will then nicely place the UTF16 string into the
correct section, because it's a mensch.

by setting the section of the generated global. This is an
optimization done by the code generator, and the code being
removed didn't handle the case when the string contained an
embedded nul (which the code generator does correctly
handle). This is rdar://7589850

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).

1) -fwritable-string does affect the non-utf16 version of cfstrings
just not the utf16 ones.
2) utf16 strings should always be marked constant, as the __TEXT segment
is readonly.
3) The name of the global doesn't matter, remove it from TargetInfo.
4) Trust the asmprinter to drop cstrings into the right section, like llvmgcc does now.
This fixes rdar://7115750

- Steve, can you take a look at this? It seems like this code should live
elsewhere, and there is a FIXME about having Sema validates the UTF-8 to
UTF-16 conversion.

- Notably, set section on cfstring literal string data (for now, this
is done everywhere because it matches what we were already doing
for the CFString data itself)
- <rdar://problem/6599098> [irgen] linker requires objc string data
to go into cstring
