and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function. If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.

that has not been JIT'd yet, the callee is put on a list of pending functions
to JIT. The call is directed through a stub, which is updated with the address
of the function after it has been JIT'd. A new interface for allocating and
updating empty stubs is provided.
Add support for removing the ModuleProvider the JIT was created with, which
would otherwise invalidate the JIT's PassManager, which is initialized with the
ModuleProvider's Module.
Add support under a new ExecutionEngine flag for emitting the infomration
necessary to update Function and GlobalVariable stubs after JITing them, by
recording the address of the stub and the name of the GlobalValue. This allows
code to be copied from one address space to another, where libraries may live
at different virtual addresses, and have the stubs updated with their new
correct target addresses.

llvm::PATypeHolder::get() method when LLVM is self-hosted in Release
mode. Before the parser changed, there was a definition of llvm::PAHolder::get()
in llvmAsmParser.y. This was probably a bug that no-one noticed.
Explicitly #include the Type.h file as a temporary fix for now.

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.

that merely add passes. This allows them to be used with either
FunctionPassManager or PassManager, or even with a custom new
kind of pass manager.

should only effect x86 when using long double. Now
12/16 bytes are output for long double globals (the
exact amount depends on the alignment). This brings
globals in line with the rest of LLVM: the space
reserved for an object is now always the ABI size.
One tricky point is that only 10 bytes should be
output for long double if it is a field in a packed
struct, which is the reason for the additional
argument to EmitGlobalConstant.

Turn on -Wunused and -Wno-unused-parameter. Clean up most of the resulting
fall out by removing unused variables. Remaining warnings have to do with
unused functions (I didn't want to delete code without review) and unused
variables in generated code. Maintainers should clean up the remaining
issues when they see them. All changes pass DejaGnu tests and Olden.

1. Change several methods in the MachineCodeEmitter class to be pure virtual.
2. Suck emitConstantPool/initJumpTableInfo into startFunction, removing them
from the MachineCodeEmitter interface, and reducing the amount of target-
specific code.
3. Change the JITEmitter so that it allocates constantpools and jump tables
*right* next to the functions that they belong to, instead of in a separate
pool of memory. This makes all memory for a function be contiguous, and
means the JITEmitter only tracks one block of memory now.

code emission location into the base class, instead of being in the derived classes.
This change means that low-level methods like emitByte/emitWord now are no longer
virtual (yaay for speed), and we now have a framework to support growable code
segments. This implements feature request #1 of PR469.

x86 and ppc for 100% dense switch statements when relocations are non-PIC.
This support will be extended and enhanced in the coming days to support
PIC, and less dense forms of jump tables.
