The llvm IR until recently had no support for comdats. This was a problem when
targeting C++ on ELF/COFF as just using weak linkage would cause quite a bit of
dead bits to remain on the executable (unless -ffunction-sections,
-fdata-sections and --gc-sections were used).
To fix the problem, llvm's codegen will just assume that any weak or linkonce
that is not in an explicit comdat should be output in one with the same name as
the global.
This unfortunately breaks cases like pr19848 where a weak symbol is not
xpected to be part of any comdat.
Now that we have explicit comdats in the IR, we can finally get both cases
right.
This first patch just makes clang give explicit comdats to GlobalValues where
t is allowed to.
A followup patch to llvm will then stop implicitly producing comdats.

Remove special parsing logic for metadata attachments. Now that
`DebugLoc` is stored normally (since the metadata/value split), we don't
need this special forward referencing logic.

Add generic dispatch for the parts of `UniquableMDNode` that cast to
`MDTuple`. This makes adding other subclasses (like PR21433's
`MDLocation`) easier.

Stop erasing `MDNode`s from the uniquing sets in `LLVMContextImpl`
during teardown (in particular, during
`UniquableMDNode::~UniquableMDNode()`). Although it's currently
feasible, there isn't any clear benefit and it may not be feasible for
other subclasses (which don't explicitly store the lookup hash).
llvm-svn: 225696
This will allow, in a subsequent patch, the addition of a global
setting that allows the user to specify a single character that
LLDB will recognize as an escape character when processing arg
strings to accomodate differences in Windows/non-Windows path
handling.

This happens in the HINT benchmark, where the SLP-vectorizer created
v2f32 fcmp/select code. The "correct" solution would have been to
teach the vectorizer cost model that v2f32 isn't legal (because really,
it isn't), but if we can vectorize we might as well do so.
We legalize these v2f32 FMIN/FMAX nodes by widening to v4f32 later on.
v3f32 were already widened to v4f32 by the generic unroll-and-build-vector
legalization.

Move creation logic for `MDTuple`s down where it belongs. Once there
are a few more subclasses, these functions really won't make much sense
here (the `friend` relationship was already awkward). For now, leave
the `MDNode` versions around, but have it forward down.
llvm-svn: 225685
Split `GenericMDNode` into two classes (with more descriptive names).
- `UniquableMDNode` will be a common subclass for `MDNode`s that are
sometimes uniqued like constants, and sometimes 'distinct'.
This class gets the (short-lived) RAUW support and related API.
- `MDTuple` is the basic tuple that has always been returned by
`MDNode::get()`. This is as opposed to more specific nodes to be
added soon, which have additional fields, custom assembly syntax,
and extra semantics.
This class gets the hash-related logic, since other sublcasses of
`UniquableMDNode` may need to hash based on other fields.
To keep this diff from getting too big, I've added casts to `MDTuple`
that won't really scale as new subclasses of `UniquableMDNode` are
added, but I'll clean those up incrementally.
(No functionality change intended.)

Summary: I think this is probably a bug, but I'm putting this up for review just to be sure. I think that `lit.util.capture` should decode the resulting string in the same way `lit.util.executeCommand` does.

Instead of returning early on `handleChangedOperand()` recursion
(finally identified (and test added) in r225657), prevent it upfront by
releasing operands before RAUW.
Aside from massively different program flow, there should be no
functionality change ;).

There are some operands which can take either immediates or registers
and we were previously using different register class to distinguish
between operands that could take immediates and those that could not.
This patch switches to using RegisterOperands which should simplify the
backend by reducing the number of register classes and also make it
easier to implement the assembler.
llvm-svn: 225662
This adds two new fields to the RegisterOperand TableGen class:
string OperandNamespace = "MCOI";
string OperandType = "OPERAND_REGISTER";
These fields can be used to specify a target specific operand type,
which will be stored in the OperandType member of the MCOperandInfo
object.
This can be useful for targets that need to store some extra information
about operands that cannot be expressed using the target independent
types. For example, in the R600 backend, there are operands which
can take either registers or immediates and it is convenient to be able
to specify this in the TableGen definitions.

This just tweaks the fix from r224892 (which handled PCHs) to work with
modules, where we will serialize each method individually and hence the
hasMoreThanOneDecl bit needs to be updated as we add the methods.

This is a fixed version of reverted r225500. It fixes the too early

One is that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local relocations can
be used. We have to take those into consideration when deciding to put a L
symbol in the symbol table or not.
The other is that ld64 requires the relocations to cstring to use linker
visible symbols on AArch64.
Thanks to Michael Zolotukhin for testing this!
Remove doesSectionRequireSymbols.
In an assembly expression like
bar:
.long L0 + 1
the intended semantics is that bar will contain a pointer one byte past L0.
In sections that are merged by content (strings, 4 byte constants, etc), a
single position in the section doesn't give the linker enough information.
For example, it would not be able to tell a relocation must point to the
end of a string, since that would look just like the start of the next.
The solution used in ELF to use relocation with symbols if there is a non-zero
addend.
In MachO before this patch we would just keep all symbols in some sections.
This would miss some cases (only cstrings on x86_64 were implemented) and was
inefficient since most relocations have an addend of 0 and can be represented
without the symbol.
This patch implements the non-zero addend logic for MachO too.

This will call `handleChangedOperand()` less frequently, but in that
case (i.e., `isStoredDistinctInContext()`) it has identical logic to
here.
