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.

for pre-2.9 bitcode files. We keep x86 unaligned loads, movnt, crc32, and the
target indep prefetch change.
As usual, updating the testsuite is a PITA.

aligned.
Teach memcpyopt to not give up all hope when confonted with an underaligned
memcpy feeding an overaligned byval. If the *source* of the memcpy can be
determined to be adequeately aligned, or if it can be forced to be, we can
eliminate the memcpy.
This addresses PR9794. We now compile the example into:
define i32 @f(%struct.p* nocapture byval align 8 %q) nounwind ssp {
entry:
%call = call i32 @g(%struct.p* byval align 8 %q) nounwind
ret i32 %call
}
in both x86-64 and x86-32 mode. We still don't get a tailcall though,
because tailcalls apparently can't handle byval.

larger memsets. Among other things, this fixes rdar://8760394 and
allows us to handle "Example 2" from http://blog.regehr.org/archives/320,
compiling it into a single 4096-byte memset:
_mad_synth_mute: ## @mad_synth_mute
## BB#0: ## %entry
pushq %rax
movl $4096, %esi ## imm = 0x1000
callq ___bzero
popq %rax
ret
llvm-svn: 123089
allowing the memcpy to be eliminated.
Unfortunately, the requirements on byval's without explicit
alignment are really weak and impossible to predict in the
mid-level optimizer, so this doesn't kick in much with current
frontends. The fix is to change clang to set alignment on all
byval arguments.
llvm-svn: 119916
refusing to optimize two memcpy's like this:
copy A <- B
copy C <- A
if it couldn't prove that noalias(B,C). We can eliminate
the copy by producing a memmove instead of memcpy.

does normal initialization and normal chaining. Change the default
AliasAnalysis implementation to NoAlias.
Update StandardCompileOpts.h and friends to explicitly request
BasicAliasAnalysis.
Update tests to explicitly request -basicaa.

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)

input filename so that opt doesn't print the input filename in the

integer and floating-point opcodes, introducing
FAdd, FSub, and FMul.
For now, the AsmParser, BitcodeReader, and IRBuilder all preserve
backwards compatability, and the Core LLVM APIs preserve backwards
compatibility for IR producers. Most front-ends won't need to change
immediately.
This implements the first step of the plan outlined here:

we were checking for it in the wrong order. This caused a miscompilation because the
return slot optimization assumes that the call it is dealing with is NOT a memcpy.
