This was always part of the VMCore library out of necessity -- it deals
entirely in the IR. The .cpp file in fact was already part of the VMCore
library. This is just a mechanical move.
I've tried to go through and re-apply the coding standard's preferred
header sort, but at 40-ish files, I may have gotten some wrong. Please
let me know if so.
I'll be committing the corresponding updates to Clang and Polly, and
Duncan has DragonEgg.
Thanks to Bill and Eric for giving the green light for this bit of cleanup.

This lets you save the textual representation of the LLVM IR to a file.
Before this patch it could only be printed to STDERR from llvm-c.

Remaining "uncategorized" functions have been organized into their
proper place in the hierarchy. Some functions were moved around so
groups are defined together.
No code changes were made.

This gives a lot of love to the docs for the C API. Like Clang's
documentation, the C API is now organized into a Doxygen "module"
(LLVMC). Each C header file is a child of the main module. Some modules
(like Core) have a hierarchy of there own. The produced documentation is
thus better organized (before everything was in one monolithic list).
This patch also includes a lot of new documentation for APIs in Core.h.
It doesn't document them all, but is better than none. Function docs are
missing @param and @return annotation, but the documentation body now
commonly provides help details (like the expected llvm::Value sub-type
to expect).

to 64-bits, and added a new attribute in bit #32. Specifically, remove
this new attribute from the enum used in the C API. It's not yet clear
what the best approach is for exposing these new attributes in the
C API, and several different proposals are on the table. Until then, we
can simply not expose this bit in the API at all.
Also, I've reverted a somewhat unrelated change in the same revision
which switched from "1 << 31" to "1U << 31" for the top enum. While "1
<< 31" is technically undefined behavior, implementations DTRT here.
However, MS and -pedantic mode warn about non-'int' type enumerator
values. If folks feel strongly about this I can put the 'U' back in, but
it seemed best to wait for the proper solution.

Problem: LLVM needs more function attributes than currently available (32 bits).
One such proposed attribute is "address_safety", which shows that a function is being checked for address safety (by AddressSanitizer, SAFECode, etc).
Solution:
- extend the Attributes from 32 bits to 64-bits
- wrap the object into a class so that unsigned is never erroneously used instead
- change "unsigned" to "Attributes" throughout the code, including one place in clang.
- the class has no "operator uint64 ()", but it has "uint64_t Raw() " to support packing/unpacking.
- the class has "safe operator bool()" to support the common idiom: if (Attributes attr = getAttrs()) useAttrs(attr);
- The CTOR from uint64_t is marked explicit, so I had to add a few explicit CTOR calls
- Add the new attribute "address_safety". Doing it in the same commit to check that attributes beyond first 32 bits actually work.
- Some of the functions from the Attribute namespace are worth moving inside the class, but I'd prefer to have it as a separate commit.
Tested:
"make check" on Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) and Mac (10.6)
built/run spec CPU 2006 on Linux with clang -O2.
This change will break clang build in lib/CodeGen/CGCall.cpp.
The following patch will fix it.

They are not in sync now, for example Bitcast would show up as LLVMCall.
So instead introduce 2 functions that map to and from the opcodes in the C
bindings.

This implements the 'landingpad' instruction. It's used to indicate that a basic
block is a landing pad. There are several restrictions on its use (see
LangRef.html for more detail). These restrictions allow the exception handling
code to gather the information it needs in a much more sane way.
This patch has the definition, implementation, C interface, parsing, and bitcode
support in it.
llvm-svn: 137501
This adds the 'resume' instruction class, IR parsing, and bitcode reading and
writing. The 'resume' instruction resumes propagation of an existing (in-flight)
exception whose unwinding was interrupted with a 'landingpad' instruction (to be
added later).
llvm-svn: 136589
'atomicrmw' instructions, which allow representing all the current atomic
rmw intrinsics.
The allowed operands for these instructions are heavily restricted at the
moment; we can probably loosen it a bit, but supporting general
first-class types (where it makes sense) might get a bit complicated,
given how SelectionDAG works.
As an initial cut, these operations do not support specifying an alignment,
but it would be possible to add if we think it's useful. Specifying an
alignment lower than the natural alignment would be essentially
impossible to support on anything other than x86, but specifying a greater
alignment would be possible. I can't think of any useful optimizations which
would use that information, but maybe someone else has ideas.
Optimizer/codegen support coming soon.

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.
