For a definition (of most linkage types), dso_local is set for ELF -fno-pic/-fpie
and COFF, but not for Mach-O. This nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
This patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `
if there is an explicit linkage.
* Clang will set dso_local for Mach-O, which is currently implied by TargetMachine.cpp. This will make COFF/Mach-O and executable ELF similar.
* Eventually I hope we can make dso_local the textual LLVM IR default (write explicit "dso_preemptable" when applicable) and -fpic ELF will be similar to everything else. This patch helps move toward that goal.
NSNumber, and boolean literals. This includes both Sema and Codegen support.
Included is also support for new Objective-C container subscripting.
My apologies for the large patch. It was very difficult to break apart.
The patch introduces changes to the driver as well to cause clang to link
in additional runtime support when needed to support the new language features.
Docs are forthcoming to document the implementation and behavior of these features.
