In particular, Collector was confusing to implementors. Several
thought that this compile-time class was the place to implement
their runtime GC heap. Of course, it doesn't even exist at runtime.
Specifically, the renames are:
Collector -> GCStrategy
CollectorMetadata -> GCFunctionInfo
CollectorModuleMetadata -> GCModuleInfo
CollectorRegistry -> GCRegistry
Function::getCollector -> getGC (setGC, hasGC, clearGC)
Several accessors and nested types have also been renamed to be
consistent. These changes should be obvious.

Remove the GetResultInst instruction. It is still accepted in LLVM assembly
and bitcode, where it is now auto-upgraded to ExtractValueInst. Also, remove
support for return instructions with multiple values. These are auto-upgraded
to use InsertValueInst instructions.
The IRBuilder still accepts multiple-value returns, and auto-upgrades them
to InsertValueInst instructions.

bc files for modules with a target triple that indicates they are for
darwin. The reader unconditionally handles this, and the writer could
turn this on for more targets if we care.
This change has two benefits for darwin:
1) it allows us to encode the cpu type of the file in an easy to read
place that doesn't require decoding the bc file.
2) it works around a bug (IMO) in darwin's AR where it is incapable of
handling files that are not a multiple of 8 bytes long. BC files
are only guaranteed to be multiples of 4 bytes long.

insertvalue and extractvalue to use constant indices instead of
Value* indices. And begin updating LangRef.html.
There's definately more to come here, but I'm checking this
basic support in now to make it available to people who are
interested.

and bitcode support for the extractvalue and insertvalue
instructions and constant expressions.
Note that this does not yet include CodeGen support.

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.

1. There is now a "PAListPtr" class, which is a smart pointer around
the underlying uniqued parameter attribute list object, and manages
its refcount. It is now impossible to mess up the refcount.
2. PAListPtr is now the main interface to the underlying object, and
the underlying object is now completely opaque.
3. Implementation details like SmallVector and FoldingSet are now no
longer part of the interface.
4. You can create a PAListPtr with an arbitrary sequence of
ParamAttrsWithIndex's, no need to make a SmallVector of a specific
size (you can just use an array or scalar or vector if you wish).
5. All the client code that had to check for a null pointer before
dereferencing the pointer is simplified to just access the
PAListPtr directly.
6. The interfaces for adding attrs to a list and removing them is a
bit simpler.
Phase #2 will rename some stuff (e.g. PAListPtr) and do other less
invasive changes.

regions of memory that have a target specific relationship, as described in the
Embedded C Technical Report.
This also implements the 2007-12-11-AddressSpaces test,
which demonstrates how address space attributes can be used in LLVM IR.
In addition, this patch changes the bitcode signature for stores (in a backwards
compatible manner), such that the pointer type, rather than the pointee type, is
encoded. This permits type information in the pointer (e.g. address space) to be
preserved for stores.
LangRef updates are forthcoming.

Thompson. Usage should be something like this:
open Llvm
open Llvm_bitreader
match read_bitcode_file fn with
| Bitreader_failure msg ->
prerr_endline msg
| Bitreader_success m ->
...;
dispose_module m
Compile with: ocamlc llvm.cma llvm_bitreader.cma

methods are new to Function:
bool hasCollector() const;
const std::string &getCollector() const;
void setCollector(const std::string &);
void clearCollector();
The assembly representation is as such:
define void @f() gc "shadow-stack" { ...
The implementation uses an on-the-side table to map Functions to
collector names, such that there is no overhead. A StringPool is
further used to unique collector names, which are extremely
likely to be unique per process.

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.

any sense it is important that ParamAttr::None gets
treated the same as not supplying an attribute at
all. Rather than stripping ParamAttr::None out of
the list of attributes, assert if ParamAttr::None
is seen. Fix up the bitcode reader which liked to
insert ParamAttr::None all over the place. Patch
based on one by Török Edwin.
