On ELF and COFF an alias is just another name for a position in the file.
There is no way to refer to a position in another file, so an alias to
undefined is meaningless.
MachO currently doesn't support aliases. The spec has a N_INDR, which when
implemented will have a different set of restrictions. Adding support for
it shouldn't be harder than any other IR extension.
For now, having the IR represent what is actually possible with current
tools makes it easier to fix the design of GlobalAlias.

The grammar for LLVM IR is not well specified in any document but seems
to obey the following rules:
- Attributes which have parenthesized arguments are never preceded by
commas. This form of attribute is the only one which ever has
optional arguments. However, not all of these attributes support
optional arguments: 'thread_local' supports an optional argument but
'addrspace' does not. Interestingly, 'addrspace' is documented as
being a "qualifier". What constitutes a qualifier? I cannot find a
definition.
- Some attributes use a space between the keyword and the value.
Examples of this form are 'align' and 'section'. These are always
preceded by a comma.
- Otherwise, the attribute has no argument. These attributes do not
have a preceding comma.
Sometimes an attribute goes before the instruction, between the
instruction and it's type, or after it's type. 'atomicrmw' has
'volatile' between the instruction and the type while 'call' has 'tail'
preceding the instruction.
With all this in mind, it seems most consistent for 'inalloca' on an
'inalloca' instruction to occur before between the instruction and the
type. Unlike the current formulation, there would be no preceding
comma. The combination 'alloca inalloca' doesn't look particularly
appetizing, perhaps a better spelling of 'inalloca' is down the road.

This makes the 'verifyFunction' and 'verifyModule' functions totally
independent operations on the LLVM IR. It also cleans up their API a bit
by lifting the abort behavior into their clients and just using an
optional raw_ostream parameter to control printing.
The implementation of the verifier is now just an InstVisitor with no
multiple inheritance. It also is significantly more const-correct, and
hides the const violations internally. The two layers that force us to
break const correctness are building a DomTree and dispatching through
the InstVisitor.
A new VerifierPass is used to implement the legacy pass manager
interface in terms of the other pieces.
The error messages produced may be slightly different now, and we may
have slightly different short circuiting behavior with different usage
models of the verifier, but generally everything works equivalently and
this unblocks wiring the verifier up to the new pass manager.

Summary:
The only current use of this flag is to mark the alloca as dynamic, even
if its in the entry block. The stack adjustment for the alloca can
never be folded into the prologue because the call may clear it and it
has to be allocated at the top of the stack.

This makes things a lot easier, because we can now talk about the
"argument allocation", which allocates all the memory for the call in
one shot.
The only functional change is to the verifier for a feature that hasn't
shipped yet.

I originally had these using opt -verify, and I never removed the
-verify when converting them to use llvm-as instead, so these were
failing because of using the -verify argument which llvm-as doesn't have
instead of what it's actually supposed to be testing.

The inalloca attribute is designed to support passing C++ objects by
value in the Microsoft C++ ABI. It behaves the same as byval, except
that it always implies that the argument is in memory and that the bytes
are never copied. This attribute allows the caller to take the address
of an outgoing argument's memory and execute arbitrary code to store
into it.
This patch adds basic IR support, docs, and verification. It does not
attempt to implement any lowering or fix any possibly broken transforms.
When this patch lands, a complete description of this feature should
appear at http://llvm.org/docs/InAlloca.html .

The sefault occurs due to an infinite loop when the verifier tries to
determine the size of a type of the form "%rt = type { %rt }" while
checking an alloca of the type.

- Instead of setting the suffixes in a bunch of places, just set one master
list in the top-level config. We now only modify the suffix list in a few
suites that have one particular unique suffix (.ml, .mc, .yaml, .td, .py).
- Aside from removing the need for a bunch of lit.local.cfg files, this enables
4 tests that were inadvertently being skipped (one in
Transforms/BranchFolding, a .s file each in DebugInfo/AArch64 and
CodeGen/PowerPC, and one in CodeGen/SI which is now failing and has been
XFAILED).
- This commit also fixes a bunch of config files to use config.root instead of
older copy-pasted code.

We were incorrectly using compiler_used instead of compiler.used. Unfortunately
the passes using the broken name had tests also using the broken name.

multiple edges between two blocks is linear. If the caller is iterating all
edges leaving a BB that would be a square time algorithm. It is more efficient
to have the callers handle that case.
Currently the only callers are:
* GVN: already avoids the multiple edge case.
* Verifier: could only hit this assert when looking at an invalid invoke. Since
it already rejects the invoke, just avoid computing the dominance for it.

another mechanical change accomplished though the power of terrible Perl
scripts.
I have manually switched some "s to 's to make escaping simpler.
While I started this to fix tests that aren't run in all configurations,
the massive number of tests is due to a really frustrating fragility of
our testing infrastructure: things like 'grep -v', 'not grep', and
'expected failures' can mask broken tests all too easily.
Essentially, I'm deeply disturbed that I can change the testsuite so
radically without causing any change in results for most platforms. =/

versions of Bash. In addition, I can back out the change to the lit
built-in shell test runner to support this.
This should fix the majority of fallout on Darwin, but I suspect there
will be a few straggling issues.

This was done through the aid of a terrible Perl creation. I will not
paste any of the horrors here. Suffice to say, it require multiple
staged rounds of replacements, state carried between, and a few
nested-construct-parsing hacks that I'm not proud of. It happens, by
luck, to be able to deal with all the TCL-quoting patterns in evidence
in the LLVM test suite.
If anyone is maintaining large out-of-tree test trees, feel free to poke
me and I'll send you the steps I used to convert things, as well as
answer any painful questions etc. IRC works best for this type of thing
I find.
Once converted, switch the LLVM lit config to use ShTests the same as
Clang. In addition to being able to delete large amounts of Python code
from 'lit', this will also simplify the entire test suite and some of
lit's architecture.
Finally, the test suite runs 33% faster on Linux now. ;]

a pipeline, and then a positive assertion via grep, use two RUN lines
instead.
Supporting these complex ideas of 'success' and 'failure' across
multiple stages of a pipeline is brittle in the shell world, and would
block switching to ShTest format; it only worked due to contrivances
introduced by the TclTest format.
Writing this as two separate RUN lines seems clearer in any event.
This is another step toward completely removing TclTests from lit.

Original commit msg:
add the 'alloc' metadata node to represent the size of offset of buffers pointed to by pointers.
This metadata can be attached to any instruction returning a pointer

This removes a bit of context from the verifier erros, but reduces code
duplication in a fairly critical part of LLVM and makes dominates easier to test.

be non contiguous, non overlapping and sorted by the lower end.
While this is technically a backward incompatibility, every frontent currently
produces range metadata with a single interval and we don't have any pass
that merges intervals yet, so no existing bitcode files should be rejected by
this.

through the use of 'fpmath' metadata. Currently this only provides a 'fpaccuracy'
value, which may be a number in ULPs or the keyword 'fast', however the intent is
that this will be extended with additional information about NaN's, infinities
etc later. No optimizations have been hooked up to this so far.
llvm-svn: 154822
thinking of generalizing it to be able to specify other freedoms beyond accuracy
(such as that NaN's don't have to be respected). I'd like the 3.1 release (the
first one with this metadata) to have the more generic name already rather than
having to auto-upgrade it in 3.2.

patch brings numerous advantages to LLVM. One way to look at it
is through diffstat:
109 files changed, 3005 insertions(+), 5906 deletions(-)
Removing almost 3K lines of code is a good thing. Other advantages
include:
1. Value::getType() is a simple load that can be CSE'd, not a mutating
union-find operation.
2. Types a uniqued and never move once created, defining away PATypeHolder.
3. Structs can be "named" now, and their name is part of the identity that
uniques them. This means that the compiler doesn't merge them structurally
which makes the IR much less confusing.
4. Now that there is no way to get a cycle in a type graph without a named
struct type, "upreferences" go away.
5. Type refinement is completely gone, which should make LTO much MUCH faster
in some common cases with C++ code.
6. Types are now generally immutable, so we can use "Type *" instead
"const Type *" everywhere.
Downsides of this patch are that it removes some functions from the C API,
so people using those will have to upgrade to (not yet added) new API.
"LLVM 3.0" is the right time to do this.
There are still some cleanups pending after this, this patch is large enough
as-is.

Added support for address spaces and added a isVolatile field to memcpy, memmove, and memset,
e.g., llvm.memcpy.i32(i8*, i8*, i32, i32) -> llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8*, i8*, i32, i32, i1)
