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.

the Transforms library. This reduces debug library size by 132 KB, debug
binary size by 376 KB, and reduces link time for llvm tools slightly.

This is the final patch for this PR. It implements some minor cleanup
in the use of IntegerType, to wit:
1. Type::getIntegerTypeMask -> IntegerType::getBitMask
2. Type::Int*Ty changed to IntegerType* from Type*
3. ConstantInt::getType() returns IntegerType* now, not Type*
This also fixes PR1120.

This patch replaces signed integer types with signless ones:
1. [US]Byte -> Int8
2. [U]Short -> Int16
3. [U]Int -> Int32
4. [U]Long -> Int64.
5. Removal of isSigned, isUnsigned, getSignedVersion, getUnsignedVersion
and other methods related to signedness. In a few places this warranted
identifying the signedness information from other sources.

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.

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.

are visible to analysis as intrinsics. That is, make sure someone doesn't pass
free around by address in some struct (as happens in say 176.gcc).
This doesn't get rid of any indirect calls, just ensure calls to free and malloc
are always direct.
