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.
Currently, for the ppc64--gnu and aarch64 ABIs, we recognize:
typedef __attribute__((__ext_vector_type__(3))) float v3f32;
typedef __attribute__((__ext_vector_type__(16))) char v16i8;
struct HFA {
v3f32 a;
v16i8 b;
};
as an HFA. Since the first type encountered is used as the base type,
we pass the HFA as:
[2 x <3 x float>]
Which leads to incorrect IR (relying on padding values) when the
second field is used.
Instead, explicitly widen the vector (after size rounding) in
isHomogeneousAggregate.
