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.

missing ones are libsupport, libsystem and libvmcore. libvmcore is
currently blocked on bugpoint, which uses EH. Once it stops using
EH, we can switch it off.
This #if 0's out 3 unit tests, because gtest requires RTTI information.
Suggestions welcome on how to fix this.

"private" symbols which the assember shouldn't strip, but which the linker may
remove after evaluation. This is mostly useful for Objective-C metadata.
This is plumbing, so we don't have a use of it yet. More to come, etc.

to support C99 inline, GNU extern inline, etc. Related bugzilla's
include PR3517, PR3100, & PR2933. Nothing uses this yet, but it
appears to work.

api's look like this:
ModuleProvider *getBytecodeModuleProvider(
const std::string &Filename, ///< Name of file to be read
BCDecompressor_t *BCDC = Compressor::decompressToNewBuffer,
std::string* ErrMsg = 0, ///< Optional error message holder
BytecodeHandler* H = 0 ///< Optional handler for reader events
);
This is ugly, but allows a client to say:
getBytecodeModuleProvider("foo", 0);
If they do this, there is no dependency on the compression libraries, saving
codesize.

* Place a try/catch block around the entire tool to Make sure std::string
exceptions are caught and printed before exiting the tool.
* Make sure we catch unhandled exceptions at the top level so that we don't
abort with a useless message but indicate than an unhandled exception was
generated.
