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).

It will output the following on Darwin X86:
_func1:
Leh_func_begin0:
pushq %rbp
Ltmp0:
movq %rsp, %rbp
Ltmp1:
Leh_func_end0:
This prolog adds a new Call Frame Information (CFI) row to the FDE with an
address that is not within the address range of the code it describes -- part is
equal to the end of the function -- and therefore results in an invalid EH
frame. If we emit a nop in this situation, then the CFI row is now within the
address range.

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.

switch from this:
if (TimePassesIsEnabled) {
NamedRegionTimer T(Name, GroupName);
do_something();
} else {
do_something(); // duplicate the code, this time without a timer!
}
to this:
{
NamedRegionTimer T(Name, GroupName, TimePassesIsEnabled);
do_something();
}

Now, the .linkonce directive is emitted as part of MCSectionCOFF::PrintSwitchToSection instead of AsmPrinter::EmitLinkage since it is an attribute of the section the symbol was placed into not the symbol itself.

Users can write broken code that emits the same label twice with asm renaming,
detect this and emit a fatal backend error instead of aborting.

otherwise labels get incorrectly merged. We handled this by emitting a
".byte 0", but this isn't correct on thumb/arm targets where the text segment
needs to be a multiple of 2/4 bytes. Handle this by emitting a noop. This
is more gross than it should be because arm/ppc are not fully mc'ized yet.

alignment of globals with a specified alignment, we fix
common variables to obey their alignment. Add a comment
explaining why this behavior is important.

in other types. fix this by only bumping zero-byte globals
up to a single byte if the *entire global* is zero size,
fixing PR6340.
This also fixes empty arrays etc to be handled correctly,
and only does this on subsection-via-symbols targets (aka
darwin) which is the only place where this matters.
