patch brings numerous advantages to LLVM. One way to look at it
is through diffstat:
109 files changed, 3005 insertions(+), 5906 deletions(-)
Removing almost 3K lines of code is a good thing. Other advantages
include:
1. Value::getType() is a simple load that can be CSE'd, not a mutating
union-find operation.
2. Types a uniqued and never move once created, defining away PATypeHolder.
3. Structs can be "named" now, and their name is part of the identity that
uniques them. This means that the compiler doesn't merge them structurally
which makes the IR much less confusing.
4. Now that there is no way to get a cycle in a type graph without a named
struct type, "upreferences" go away.
5. Type refinement is completely gone, which should make LTO much MUCH faster
in some common cases with C++ code.
6. Types are now generally immutable, so we can use "Type *" instead
"const Type *" everywhere.
Downsides of this patch are that it removes some functions from the C API,
so people using those will have to upgrade to (not yet added) new API.
"LLVM 3.0" is the right time to do this.
There are still some cleanups pending after this, this patch is large enough
as-is.

optimizations when emitting calls to the function; instead those calls may
use faster relocations which require the function to be immediately resolved
upon loading the dynamic object featuring the call. This is useful when it
is known that the function will be called frequently and pervasively and
therefore there is no merit in delaying binding of the function.
Currently only implemented for x86-64, where it turns into a call through
the global offset table.
Patch by Dan Gohman, who assures me that he's going to add LangRef documentation
for this once it's committed.

* Add a "landing pad" attribute to the BasicBlock.
* Modify the bitcode reader and writer to handle said attribute.
Later: The verifier will ensure that the landing pad attribute is used in the
appropriate manner. I.e., not applied to the entry block, and applied only to
basic blocks that are branched to via a `dispatch' instruction.
(This is a work-in-progress.)

It's similar to "linker_private_weak", but it's known that the address of the
object is not taken. For instance, functions that had an inline definition, but
the compiler decided not to inline it. Note, unlike linker_private and
linker_private_weak, linker_private_weak_def_auto may have only default
visibility. The symbols are removed by the linker from the final linked image
(executable or dynamic library).
llvm-svn: 111684
Make MDNode::destroy private.
Fix the one thing that used MDNode::destroy, outside of MDNode itself.
One should never delete or destroy an MDNode explicitly. MDNodes
implicitly go away when there are no references to them (implementation
details aside).
llvm-svn: 109028
Objective-C metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the
linker will remove upon final linkage. However, this linkage isn't specific to
Objective-C.
For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is defined like this:
.globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced
.align 3
l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc:
.quad _objc_msgSend_fixup
.quad L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1
This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have
the metadata defined with ".weak_definition".
Currently only supported on Darwin platforms.

There are still a bunch of places in the optimizer and other places
that need to be updated to work with these constructs, but at least
the basics are in now.

failures.
To support this, add some utility functions to Type to help support
vector/scalar-independent code. Change ConstantInt::get and
ConstantFP::get to support vector types, and add an overload to
ConstantInt::get that uses a static IntegerType type, for
convenience.
Introduce a new getConstant method for ScalarEvolution, to simplify
common use cases.

integer and floating-point opcodes, introducing
FAdd, FSub, and FMul.
For now, the AsmParser, BitcodeReader, and IRBuilder all preserve
backwards compatability, and the Core LLVM APIs preserve backwards
compatibility for IR producers. Most front-ends won't need to change
immediately.
This implements the first step of the plan outlined here:

Constant, MDString and MDNode which can only be used by globals with a name
that starts with "llvm." or as arguments to a function with the same naming
restriction.

linkage: the value may be replaced with something
different at link time. (Frontends that want to
allow values to be loaded out of weak constants can
give their constants weak_odr linkage).

and clean recursive descent parser.
This change has a couple of ramifications:
1. The parser code is about 400 lines shorter (in what we maintain, not
including what is autogenerated).
2. The code should be significantly faster than the old code because we
don't have to work around bison's poor handling of datatypes with
ctors/dtors. This also makes the code much more resistant to memory
leaks.
3. We now get caret diagnostics from the .ll parser, woo.
4. The actual diagnostics emited from the parser are completely different
so a bunch of testcases had to be updated.
5. I now disallow "%ty = type opaque %ty = type i32". There was no good
reason to support this, it was just an accident of the old
implementation. I have no reason to think that anyone is actually using
this.
6. The syntax for sticking a global variable has changed to make it
unambiguous. I don't think anyone is depending on this since only clang
supports this and it is not solid yet, so I'm not worried about anything
breaking.
7. This gets rid of the last use of bison, and along with it the .cvs files.
I'll prune this from the makefiles as a subsequent commit.
There are a few minor cleanups that can be done after this commit (suggestions
welcome!) but this passes dejagnu testing and is ready for its time in the
limelight.

actual definition is slightly less strict (for now).
No changes to the bitcode reader/writer, asm printer or verifier were needed.

This fixes 7 testcases that were not properly running before.

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.

This also changes the syntax for llvm.bswap, llvm.part.set, llvm.part.select, and llvm.ct* intrinsics. They are automatically upgraded by both the LLVM ASM reader and the bitcode reader. The test cases have been updated, with special tests added to ensure the automatic upgrading is supported.

that cannot be suppressed and cannot be redirected:
they are dumped in the current working directory.
When running the testsuite this means that these
files do not end up in the Output directory. The
best solution I could find is to change directory
into Output before running tests.
llvm-svn: 40437
Change the keywords for the zext and sext parameter attributes to be
zeroext and signext so they don't conflict with the keywords for the
instructions of the same name. This gets around the ambiguity.
llvm-svn: 40069
Remove && from the end of the lines to prevent tests from throwing run
lines into the background. Also, clean up places where the same command
is run multiple times by using a temporary file.

global variables that needed to be passed in. This makes it possible to
add new global variables with only a couple changes (Makefile and llvm-dg.exp)
instead of touching every single dg.exp file.
llvm-svn: 35918
Update these test cases to use proper signatures for bswap which is now
and overloaded intrinsic. Its name must be of the form llvm.bswap.i32.i32
since both the parameter and the result or of type "iAny". Also, the
bit counting intrinsics changed to always return i32.
llvm-svn: 35548
Update these tests to not use the same name even though the type of the
value differs. After PR411 hits, type planes will be gone and it will be
illegal for a name to be used twice, regardless of type.
llvm-svn: 33660
Remove "target endian/pointersize" or add "target datalayout" to make
the test parse properly or set the datalayout because defaults changes.
For PR645:
Make global names use the @ prefix.
For llvm-upgrade changes:
Fix test cases or completely remove use of llvm-upgrade for test cases
that cannot survive the new renaming or upgrade capabilities.
llvm-svn: 33533
Split this test case into three cases. globalredefinition.ll just tests
that a global can be forward referenced. globalredefinition2.ll tests
that llvm-upgrade will warn about renaming duplicate global variables.
globalredefinition3.ll tests that llvm-as will generate an error on
duplicate global variables. This last test is currently XFAIL because
the restriction is not implemented yet.
llvm-svn: 32910
The long awaited CAST patch. This introduces 12 new instructions into LLVM
to replace the cast instruction. Corresponding changes throughout LLVM are
provided. This passes llvm-test, llvm/test, and SPEC CPUINT2000 with the
exception of 175.vpr which fails only on a slight floating point output
difference.
