Language-design credit goes to a lot of people, but I particularly want
to single out Blaine Garst and Patrick Beard for their contributions.
Compiler implementation credit goes to Argyrios, Doug, Fariborz, and myself,
in no particular order.

Sandeep Patel noticed that the alignment was wrong for Neon vector types,
and this change is partly derived from his patch. For the APCS ABI, however,
additional changes were required: the maximum ABI alignment is 32 bits and
the preferred alignment for i64 and f64 types should be 64 bits.

which versions of an OS provide a certain facility. For example,
void foo()
__attribute__((availability(macosx,introduced=10.2,deprecated=10.4,obsoleted=10.6)));
says that the function "foo" was introduced in 10.2, deprecated in
10.4, and completely obsoleted in 10.6. This attribute ties in with
the deployment targets (e.g., -mmacosx-version-min=10.1 specifies that
we want to deploy back to Mac OS X 10.1). There are several concrete
behaviors that this attribute enables, as illustrated with the
function foo() above:
- If we choose a deployment target >= Mac OS X 10.4, uses of "foo"
will result in a deprecation warning, as if we had placed
attribute((deprecated)) on it (but with a better diagnostic)
- If we choose a deployment target >= Mac OS X 10.6, uses of "foo"
will result in an "unavailable" warning (in C)/error (in C++), as
if we had placed attribute((unavailable)) on it
- If we choose a deployment target prior to 10.2, foo() is
weak-imported (if it is a kind of entity that can be weak
imported), as if we had placed the weak_import attribute on it.
Naturally, there can be multiple availability attributes on a
declaration, for different platforms; only the current platform
matters when checking availability attributes.
The only platforms this attribute currently works for are "ios" and
"macosx", since we already have -mxxxx-version-min flags for them and we
have experience there with macro tricks translating down to the
deprecated/unavailable/weak_import attributes. The end goal is to open
this up to other platforms, and even extension to other "platforms"
that are really libraries (say, through a #pragma clang
define_system), but that hasn't yet been designed and we may want to
shake out more issues with this narrower problem first.
Addresses <rdar://problem/6690412>.
As a drive-by bug-fix, if an entity is both deprecated and
unavailable, we only emit the "unavailable" diagnostic.

TCE target has some too strict alignment rules (that the HW really does not require, but which caused problems elsewhere) for data types and an ABI change was decided.
