The non-opaque part can be structurally uniqued. To keep this to just
a hash lookup, we don't try to unique cyclic types.
Also change the type mapping algorithm to be optimistic about a type
not being recursive and only create a new type when proven to be wrong.
This is not as strong as trying to speculate that we can keep the source
type, but is simpler (no speculation to revert) and more powerfull
than what we had before (we don't copy non-recursive types at least).
I initially wrote this to try to replace the name based type merging.
It is not strong enough to replace it, but is is a useful addition.
With this patch the number of named struct types is a clang lto bootstrap goes
from 49674 to 15986.
llvm-svn: 223278
When lazy reading a module, the types used in a function will not be visible to
a TypeFinder until the body is read.
This patch fixes that by asking the module for its identified struct types.
If a materializer is present, the module asks it. If not, it uses a TypeFinder.
This fixes pr21374.
I will be the first to say that this is ugly, but it was the best I could find.
Some of the options I looked at:
* Asking the LLVMContext. This could be made to work for gold, but not currently
for ld64. ld64 will load multiple modules into a single context before merging
them. This causes us to see types from future merges. Unfortunately,
MappedTypes is not just a cache when it comes to opaque types. Once the
mapping has been made, we have to remember it for as long as the key may
be used. This would mean moving MappedTypes to the Linker class and having
to drop the Linker::LinkModules static methods, which are visible from C.
* Adding an option to ignore function bodies in the TypeFinder. This would
fix the PR by picking the worst result. It would work, but unfortunately
we are currently quite dependent on the upfront type merging. I will
try to reduce our dependency, but it is not clear that we will be able
to get rid of it for now.
The only clean solution I could think of is making the Module own the types.
This would have other advantages, but it is a much bigger change. I will
propose it, but it is nice to have this fixed while that is discussed.
With the gold plugin, this patch takes the number of types in the LTO clang
binary from 52817 to 49669.

Patch by Ben Gamari!
This redefines the `prefix` attribute introduced previously and
introduces a `prologue` attribute. There are a two primary usecases
that these attributes aim to serve,
1. Function prologue sigils
2. Function hot-patching: Enable the user to insert `nop` operations
at the beginning of the function which can later be safely replaced
with a call to some instrumentation facility
3. Runtime metadata: Allow a compiler to insert data for use by the
runtime during execution. GHC is one example of a compiler that
needs this functionality for its tables-next-to-code functionality.
Previously `prefix` served cases (1) and (2) quite well by allowing the user
to introduce arbitrary data at the entrypoint but before the function
body. Case (3), however, was poorly handled by this approach as it
required that prefix data was valid executable code.
Here we redefine the notion of prefix data to instead be data which
occurs immediately before the function entrypoint (i.e. the symbol
address). Since prefix data now occurs before the function entrypoint,
there is no need for the data to be valid code.
The previous notion of prefix data now goes under the name "prologue
data" to emphasize its duality with the function epilogue.
The intention here is to handle cases (1) and (2) with prologue data and
case (3) with prefix data.

This idea arose out of discussions[1] with Reid Kleckner in response to a
proposal to introduce the notion of symbol offsets to enable handling of
case (3).

The explicit set of destination types is not fully redundant when lazy loading
since the TypeFinder will not find types used only in function bodies.
This keeps the logic to drop the name of mapped types since it still helps
with avoiding further renaming.
llvm-svn: 223043
Instead of keeping an explicit set, just drop the names of types we choose
to map to some other type.
This has the advantage that the name of the unused will not cause the context
to rename types on module read.
llvm-svn: 222986
The original patch would fail when:
* A dst opaque type (%A) is matched with a src type (%A).
* A src opaque (%E) type is then speculatively matched with %A and the
speculation fails afterward.
* When rolling back the speculation we would cancel the source %A to dest
%A mapping.
The fix is to keep an explicit list of which resolutions are speculative.
Original message:
Fix overly aggressive type merging.
If we find out that two types are *not* isomorphic, we learn nothing about
opaque sub types in both the source and destination.

This changes the order in which different types are passed to get, but
one order is not inherently better than the other.
The main motivation is that this simplifies linkDefinedTypeBodies now that
it is only linking "real" opaque types. It is also means that we only have to
call it once and that we don't need getImpl.
A small change in behavior is that we don't copy type names when resolving
opaque types. This is an improvement IMHO, but it can be added back if
desired. A test is included with the new behavior.

This is to be consistent with StringSet and ultimately with the standard
library's associative container insert function.
This lead to updating SmallSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update SmallPtrSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update all the existing users of those functions...
llvm-svn: 222334
Having two ways to do this doesn't seem terribly helpful and
consistently using the insert version (which we already has) seems like
it'll make the code easier to understand to anyone working with standard
data structures. (I also updated many references to the Entry's
key and value to use first() and second instead of getKey{Data,Length,}
and get/setValue - for similar consistency)
Also removes the GetOrCreateValue functions so there's less surface area
to StringMap to fix/improve/change/accommodate move semantics, etc.

Change `NamedMDNode::getOperator()` from returning `MDNode *` to
returning `Value *`. To reduce boilerplate at some call sites, add a
`getOperatorAsMDNode()` for named metadata that's expected to only
return `MDNode` -- for now, that's everything, but debug node named

The langref says:
LLVM explicitly allows declarations of global variables to be marked
constant, even if the final definition of the global is not. This
capability can be used to enable slightly better optimization of the
program, but requires the language definition to guarantee that
optimizations based on the ‘constantness’ are valid for the
translation units that do not include the definition.
Given that definition, when merging two declarations, we have to drop
constantness if of of them is not marked contant, since the Module
without the constant marker might not have the necessary guarantees.

To do this, change the representation of lazy loaded functions.
The previous representation cannot differentiate between a function whose body
has been removed and one whose body hasn't been read from the .bc file. That
means that in order to drop a function, the entire body had to be read.

When linking llvm.global_ctors with the optional third element we have to handle
it specially and only copy the elements whose keys were also copied.
llvm-svn: 217281
We were setting the comdat when functions were copied in the initial pass, but
not when they were linked only when we found out that they are needed.
llvm-svn: 215765
An optional third field was added to `llvm.global_ctors` (and
`llvm.global_dtors`) in r209015. Most of the code has been changed to
deal with both versions of the variables. Users of the C API might
create either version, the helper functions in LLVM create the two-field
version, and clang now creates the three-field version.
However, the BitcodeReader was changed to always upgrade to the
three-field version. This created an unnecessary inconsistency in the
IR before/after serializing to bitcode.
This commit resolves the inconsistency by making the third field truly
optional (and not upgrading in the bitcode reader). Since `llvm-link`
was relying on this upgrade code, rather than deleting it I've moved it
into `ModuleLinker`, where it upgrades these arrays as necessary to
resolve inconsistencies between modules.
The ideal resolution would be to remove the 2-field version and make the
third field required. I filed PR20506 to track that.
I changed `test/Bitcode/upgrade-global-ctors.ll` to a negative test and
duplicated the `llvm-link` check in `test/Linker/global_ctors.ll` to
check both upgrade directions.
Since I came across this as part of PR5680 (serializing use-list order),
I've also added the missing `verify-uselistorder` RUN line to
`test/Bitcode/metadata-2.ll`.

Type::dump() doesn't print a newline, which makes for a poor
experience in a debugger. This looks like it was an ommission
considering Value::dump() two lines above, so I've changed Type to add
a newline as well.
Of the two in-tree callers, one added a newline anyway, and I've
updated the other one to use Type::print instead.

This new IR facility allows us to represent the object-file semantic of
a COMDAT group.
COMDATs allow us to tie together sections and make the inclusion of one
dependent on another. This is required to implement features like MS
ABI VFTables and optimizing away certain kinds of initialization in C++.
This functionality is only representable in COFF and ELF, Mach-O has no
similar mechanism.

Alias with unnamed_addr were in a strange state. It is stored in GlobalValue,
the language reference talks about "unnamed_addr aliases" but the verifier
was rejecting them.
It seems natural to allow unnamed_addr in aliases:
* It is a property of how it is accessed, not of the data itself.
* It is perfectly possible to write code that depends on the address
of an alias.
This patch then makes unname_addr legal for aliases. One side effect is that
the syntax changes for a corner case: In globals, unnamed_addr is now printed
before the address space.
llvm-svn: 210302
This patch changes GlobalAlias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr and it is
up to MC (or the system assembler) to decide if that expression is valid or not.
This reduces our ability to diagnose invalid uses and how early we can spot
them, but it also lets us do things like
@test5 = alias inttoptr(i32 sub (i32 ptrtoint (i32* @test2 to i32),
i32 ptrtoint (i32* @bar to i32)) to i32*)
An important implication of this patch is that the notion of aliased global
doesn't exist any more. The alias has to encode the information needed to
access it in its metadata (linkage, visibility, type, etc).
Another consequence to notice is that getSection has to return a "const char *".
It could return a NullTerminatedStringRef if there was such a thing, but when
that was proposed the decision was to just uses "const char*" for that.
llvm-svn: 210062
This patch changes the design of GlobalAlias so that it doesn't take a
ConstantExpr anymore. It now points directly to a GlobalObject, but its type is
independent of the aliasee type.
To avoid changing all alias related tests in this patches, I kept the common
syntax
@foo = alias i32* @bar
to mean the same as now. The cases that used to use cast now use the more
general syntax
@foo = alias i16, i32* @bar.
Note that GlobalAlias now behaves a bit more like GlobalVariable. We
know that its type is always a pointer, so we omit the '*'.
For the bitcode, a nice surprise is that we were writing both identical types
already, so the format change is minimal. Auto upgrade is handled by looking
through the casts and no new fields are needed for now. New bitcode will
simply have different types for Alias and Aliasee.
One last interesting point in the patch is that replaceAllUsesWith becomes
smart enough to avoid putting a ConstantExpr in the aliasee. This seems better
than checking and updating every caller.
A followup patch will delete getAliasedGlobal now that it is redundant. Another
patch will add support for an explicit offset.
llvm-svn: 209007
This allows code to statically accept a Function or a GlobalVariable, but
not an alias. This is already a cleanup by itself IMHO, but the main
reason for it is that it gives a lot more confidence that the refactoring to fix
the design of GlobalAlias is correct. That will be a followup patch.

Provide triple and data layout as well as module names (or empty string) when there's a mismatch.
Differential Revision: http://llvm-reviews.chandlerc.com/D2971
llvm-svn: 203009
Now that DataLayout is not a pass, store one in Module.
Since the C API expects to be able to get a char* to the datalayout description,
we have to keep a std::string somewhere. This patch keeps it in Module and also
uses it to represent modules without a DataLayout.
Once DataLayout is mandatory, we should probably move the string to DataLayout
itself since it won't be necessary anymore to represent the special case of a
module without a DataLayout.

The SuppressWarnings flag, unfortunately, isn't very useful for custom tools
that want to use the LLVM module linker. So I'm changing it to a parameter of
the Linker, and the flag itself moves to the llvm-link tool.
For the time being as SuppressWarnings is pretty much the only "option" it
seems reasonable to propagate it to Linker objects. If we end up with more
options in the future, some sort of "struct collecting options" may be a
better idea.

Now that we hava a convinient place to keep it, remeber the set of
identified structs as we merge modules.
This speeds up the linking of all the bitcode files in clang with the
gold plugin and -plugin-opt=emit-llvm (i.e., link only, no codegen) from
5:25 minutes to 13.6 seconds!
Patch by Xiaofei Wan!

Update comments, fix * placement, fix method names that are not
used in clang, add a linkInModule that takes a Mode and put it
in Linker.cpp.
