whether a global is dead or not. This should fix PR3749 - linker adds
spurious use to appending globals. I can't reasonably add a testcase
for this, because the bc writer/reader strip dead constant users.

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.

them are generic changes.
- Use the "fast" flag that's already being passed into the asm printers instead
of shoving it into the DwarfWriter.
- Instead of calling "MI->getParent()->getParent()" for every MI, set the
machine function when calling "runOnMachineFunction" in the asm printers.

Now we're using one gross, but quite robust hack :) (previous ones
did not work, for example, when ext_weak symbol was used deep inside
constant expression in the initializer).
The proper fix of this problem will require some quite huge asmprinter
changes and that's why was postponed. This fixes PR3629 by the way :)

information output. However, many target specific tool chains prefer to encode
only one compile unit in an object file. In this situation, the LLVM code
generator will include debugging information entities in the compile unit
that is marked as main compile unit. The code generator accepts maximum one main
compile unit per module. If a module does not contain any main compile unit
then the code generator will emit multiple compile units in the output object
file.
[Part 1]
Update DebugInfo APIs to accept optional boolean value while creating DICompileUnit to mark the unit as "main" unit. By defaults all units are considered non-main. Update SourceLevelDebugging.html to document "main" compile unit.
Update DebugInfo APIs to not accept and encode separate source file/directory entries while creating various llvm.dbg.* entities. There was a recent, yet to be documented, change to include this additional information so no documentation changes are required here.
Update DwarfDebug to handle "main" compile unit. If "main" compile unit is seen then all DIEs are inserted into "main" compile unit. All other compile units are used to find source location for llvm.dbg.* values. If there is not any "main" compile unit then create unique compile unit DIEs for each llvm.dbg.compile_unit.
[Part 2]
Create separate llvm.dbg.compile_unit for each input file. Mark compile unit create for main_input_filename as "main" compile unit. Use appropriate compile unit, based on source location information collected from the tree node, while creating llvm.dbg.* values using DebugInfo APIs.

- DW_AT_bit_size is only suitable for bitfields.
- Encode source location info for derived types.
- Source location and type size info is not useful for subroutine_type (info is included in respective DISubprogram) and array_type.

DW_AT_APPLE_optimized flag is set when a compile_unit is optimized. The debugger takes advantage of this information some way.
DW_AT_APPLE_flags encodes command line options when certain env. variable is set. This is used by build engineers to track various gcc command lines used by by a project, irrespective of whether the project used makefile, Xcode or something else.
llvm-gcc patch is next.

The EH_frame and .eh symbols are now private, except for darwin9 and earlier.
The patch also fixes the definition of PrivateGlobalPrefix on pcc linux.

have an unreachable block in a function. This was triggering the assert. This is
a horrid hack to cover this up.
Oh! for a good debug info architecture!
llvm-svn: 57714
information is in an unreachable block, then it's possible that the high/low pc
values won't be set for the dwarf information. E.g., this function:
void abort(void) __attribute__((__noreturn__));
void dead_beef(void) __attribute__ ((noreturn));
int *b;
void dead_beef(void) {
*b=0xdeadbeef;
abort();
}
has a call to "@llvm.dbg.region.end" only in the unreachable block:
define void @dead_beef() noreturn nounwind {
entry:
call void @llvm.dbg.func.start(...)
call void @llvm.dbg.stoppoint(...)
...
call void @abort( ) noreturn nounwind
unreachable
return: ; No predecessors!
call void @llvm.dbg.stoppoint(...)
call void @llvm.dbg.region.end(...)
ret void
}
The dwarf information emitted is something like:
0x00000084: TAG_subprogram [5]
AT_name( "dead_beef" )
AT_external( 0x01 )
AT_prototyped( 0x01 )
AT_decl_file( 0x01 )
AT_decl_line( 0x08 )
Note that this is *not* the best fix for this problem, but a band-aid for an
gaping wound. This code needs to be changed when we revamp our debugging
information.

Change linear-scan RA not to allocate regs in a way

UsedDirective for some symbols in llvm.used into
Darwin-specific code. I've decided LessPrivateGlobal

the target-independent area, with improved comment.

the magic 'l' prefix for symbols on Darwin which are
to be passed through the assembler, then removed at
linktime (previously all references to this had been
hidden in the ObjC FE code, oh well).

list that have internal linkage; the linker doesn't need
or want this. (These objects must still be preserved
at compile time, so just removing them from the llvm.used
list doesn't work.) Should affect only Darwin.

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.
