to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

(1) Add support for function key negotiation.
The previous version of the RPC required both sides to maintain the same
enumeration for functions in the API. This means that any version skew between
the client and server would result in communication failure.
With this version of the patch functions (and serializable types) are defined
with string names, and the derived function signature strings are used to
negotiate the actual function keys (which are used for efficient call
serialization). This allows clients to connect to any server that supports a
superset of the API (based on the function signatures it supports).
(2) Add a callAsync primitive.
The callAsync primitive can be used to install a return value handler that will
run as soon as the RPC function's return value is sent back from the remote.
(3) Launch policies for RPC function handlers.
The new addHandler method, which installs handlers for RPC functions, takes two
arguments: (1) the handler itself, and (2) an optional "launch policy". When the
RPC function is called, the launch policy (if present) is invoked to actually
launch the handler. This allows the handler to be spawned on a background
thread, or added to a work list. If no launch policy is used, the handler is run
on the server thread itself. This should only be used for short-running
handlers, or entirely synchronous RPC APIs.
(4) Zero cost cross type serialization.
You can now define serialization from any type to a different "wire" type. For
example, this allows you to call an RPC function that's defined to take a
std::string while passing a StringRef argument. If a serializer from StringRef
to std::string has been defined for the channel type this will be used to
serialize the argument without having to construct a std::string instance.
This allows buffer reference types to be used as arguments to RPC calls without
requiring a copy of the buffer to be made.

We are currently using add_llvm_utility for executable targets that:
1. Are built by default.
2. Used for testing.
3. Are not installed by default.
Originally, lli-child-target used add_llvm_tool instead of add_llvm_executable
directly. This was changed so that lli-child-target would not be installed. This
was good since this is only used for testing and should never be installed for
users. This also had the unfortunate side effect that one can never turn off the
building of lli-child-target by default, a regression for projects that by
default do not want to compile any LLVM tools beyond tablegen/llvm-config.
This patch changes lli-child-target to use add_llvm_utility. This makes sense
since:
1. lli-child-target matches the semantics of executables created with
add_llvm_utility.
2. We fix the regression since now one can use the flag LLVM_BUILD_UTILS to
eliminate default compilation.

This replaces use of std::error_code and ErrorOr in the ORC RPC support library
with Error and Expected. This required updating the OrcRemoteTarget API, Client,
and server code, as well as updating the Orc C API.
This patch also fixes several instances where Errors were dropped.

Three problems:
1. <future> can't be easily used. If you must use it, see
include/Support/ThreadPool.h for how.
2. constexpr problems, even after 266588.
3. Move assignment operators can't be defaulted in MSVC2013.

asynchronous call/handle. Also updates the ORC remote JIT API to use the new
scheme.
The previous version of the RPC tools only supported void functions, and
required the user to manually call a paired function to return results. This
patch replaces the Procedure typedef (which only supported void functions) with
the Function typedef which supports return values, e.g.:
Function<FooId, int32_t(std::string)> Foo;
The RPC primitives and channel operations are also expanded. RPC channels must
support four new operations: startSendMessage, endSendMessage,
startRecieveMessage and endRecieveMessage, to handle channel locking. In
addition, serialization support for tuples to RPCChannels is added to enable
multiple return values.
The RPC primitives are expanded from callAppend, call, expect and handle, to:
appendCallAsync - Make an asynchronous call to the given function.
callAsync - The same as appendCallAsync, but calls send on the channel when
done.
callSTHandling - Blocking call for single-threaded code. Wraps a call to
callAsync then waits on the result, using a user-supplied
handler to handle any callbacks from the remote.
callST - The same as callSTHandling, except that it doesn't handle
callbacks - it expects the result to be the first return.
expect and handle - as before.
handleResponse - Handle a response from the remote.
waitForResult - Wait for the response with the given sequence number to arrive.

Summary:
This patch is provided in preparation for removing autoconf on 1/26. The proposal to remove autoconf on 1/26 was discussed on the llvm-dev thread here: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-January/093875.html
"I felt a great disturbance in the [build system], as if millions of [makefiles] suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something [amazing] has happened."

classes.
OrcRemoteTargetClient::RCMemoryManager will now register EH frames with the
server automatically. This allows remote-execution of code that uses exceptions.
llvm-svn: 257816
The new ORC remote-JITing support provides a superset of the old code's
functionality, so we can replace the old stuff. As a bonus, a couple of
previously XFAILed tests have started passing.

In release builds this is actually possible as without asserts there is
no testing of the actual read bytes and the variables could be partially
uninitialized.

This enables IO error reports in both the child and server processes.
The scheme still isn't entirely satisfactory and output is jumbled but it beats
having no output at all. This will hopefully unblock ARM support (PR18057).

Eliminates the LLI_BUILDING_CHILD build hack from r199885.
Also add a FIXME to remove code that tricks the tests into passing when the
feature fails to work. Please don't do stuff like this, the tests exist for a
reason!

Eliminate the copies LLVM's System mmap and cache invalidation code. These were
slowly drifting away from the original version, and moreover the copied code
was a dead end in terms of portability.
We now statically link to Support but in practice with stripping this adds next
to no weight to the resultant binary.
Also avoid installing lli-child-target to the user's $PATH. It's not meant to
be run directly.

MCJIT remote execution (ChildTarget+RemoteTargetExternal) protocol was in
dire need of refactoring. It was fail-prone, had no error reporting and
implemented the same message logic on every single function.
This patch rectifies it, and makes it work on ARM, where it was randomly
failing. Other architectures shall profit from this change as well, making
their buildbots and releases more reliable.
llvm-svn: 199261
At this time only Unix-based systems are supported. Windows has stubs and should re-route to the simulated mode.
Thanks to Sriram Murali for contributions to this patch.
