manager, and a code path to use it.
The option is actually a top-level option but does contain
'experimental' in the name. This is the compromise suggested by Richard
in discussions. We expect this option will be around long enough and
have enough users towards the end that it merits not being relegated to
CC1, but it still needs to be clear that this option will go away at
some point.
The backend code is a fresh codepath dedicated to handling the flow with
the new pass manager. This was also Richard's suggested code structuring
to essentially leave a clean path for development rather than carrying
complexity or idiosyncracies of how we do things just to share code with
the parts of this in common with the legacy pass manager. And it turns
out, not much is really in common even though we use the legacy pass
manager for codegen at this point.
I've switched a couple of tests to run with the new pass manager, and
they appear to work. There are still plenty of bugs that need squashing
(just with basic experiments I've found two already!) but they aren't in
this code, and the whole point is to expose the necessary hooks to start
experimenting with the pass manager in more realistic scenarios.
That said, I want to *strongly caution* anyone itching to play with
this: it is still *very shaky*. Several large components have not yet
been shaken down. For example I have bugs in both the always inliner and
inliner that I have already spotted and will be fixing independently.
Still, this is a fun milestone. =D
One thing not in this patch (but that might be very reasonable to add)
is some level of support for raw textual pass pipelines such as what
Sean had a patch for some time ago. I'm mostly interested in the more
traditional flow of getting the IR out of Clang and then running it
through opt, but I can see other use cases so someone may want to add
it.
And of course, *many* features are not yet supported!
- O1 is currently more like O2
- None of the sanitizers are wired up
- ObjC ARC optimizer isn't wired up
- ...
So plenty of stuff still lef to do!

-fno-inline-functions, -O0, and optnone.
These were really, really tangled together:
- We used the noinline LLVM attribute for -fno-inline
- But not for -fno-inline-functions (breaking LTO)
- But we did use it for -finline-hint-functions (yay, LTO is happy!)
- But we didn't for -O0 (LTO is sad yet again...)
- We had weird structuring of CodeGenOpts with both an inlining
enumeration and a boolean. They interacted in weird ways and
needlessly.
- A *lot* of set smashing went on with setting these, and then got worse
when we considered optnone and other inlining-effecting attributes.
- A bunch of inline affecting attributes were managed in a completely
different place from -fno-inline.
- Even with -fno-inline we failed to put the LLVM noinline attribute
onto many generated function definitions because they didn't show up
as AST-level functions.
- If you passed -O0 but -finline-functions we would run the normal
inliner pass in LLVM despite it being in the O0 pipeline, which really
doesn't make much sense.
- Lastly, we used things like '-fno-inline' to manipulate the pass
pipeline which forced the pass pipeline to be much more
parameterizable than it really needs to be. Instead we can *just* use
the optimization level to select a pipeline and control the rest via
attributes.
Sadly, this causes a bunch of churn in tests because we don't run the
optimizer in the tests and check the contents of attribute sets. It
would be awesome if attribute sets were a bit more FileCheck friendly,
but oh well.
I think this is a significant improvement and should remove the semantic
need to change what inliner pass we run in order to comply with the
requested inlining semantics by relying completely on attributes. It
also cleans up tho optnone and related handling a bit.
One unfortunate aspect of this is that for generating alwaysinline
routines like those in OpenMP we end up removing noinline and then
adding alwaysinline. I tried a bunch of other approaches, but because we
recompute function attributes from scratch and don't have a declaration
here I couldn't find anything substantially cleaner than this.

Add support for /Ob1 (and equivalent -finline-hint-functions), which enable
inlining only for functions marked inline, either explicitly (via inline
keyword, for example), or implicitly (function definition in class body,
for example).
This works by enabling inlining pass, and adding noinline attribute to
every function not marked inline.
