This commit increases the number of sections and overall output size of
.o files by 10% and sometimes a bit more. This alone is challenging for
some users, but it also appears to trigger an as-yet unexplained
behavior in the Gold linker where the memory usage increases
considerably more than 10% (we think).
The increase is also frustrating because in many (if not all) cases we
end up with almost all of the growth coming from the ELF overhead of
-ffunction-sections and such, not from actual extra code being emitted.
Richard Smith and Eric Christopher are both going to investigate this
and try to get to the bottom of what is triggering this and whether the
kinds of increases here are sustainable or what options we might have to
minimize the impact they have. However, this is currently breaking
a pretty large number of our users' builds so reverting it while we sort
out how to make progress here. I've seen a longer and more detailed
update to the commit thread.

The previous version of this patch (r332839) was reverted because it was
causing "definition with same mangled name as another definition" errors
in some module builds. This was caused by an unrelated bug in module
importing which it exposed. The importing problem was fixed in r336240,
so this recommits the original patch (r332839).

This is not only semantically correct but ensures that they will not
be marked as address-significant once D48155 lands.

The first version of the patch (r332228) was flawed because it was
putting structors into C5/D5 comdats very eagerly. This is correct only
if we can ensure the comdat contains all required versions of the
structor (which wasn't the case). This version uses a more nuanced
approach:
- for local structor symbols we use an alias because we don't have to
worry about comdats or other compilation units.
- linkonce symbols are emitted separately, as we cannot guarantee we
will have all symbols we need to form a comdat (they are emitted
lazily, only when referenced).
- available_externally symbols are also emitted separately, as the code
seemed to be worried about emitting an alias in this case.
- other linkage types are not affected by the optimization level. They
either get put into a comdat (weak) or get aliased (external).

Summary:
Removing the full structor and replacing all usages with the base one
can degrade debug quality as it will leave the debugger unable to locate
the full object structor. This is apparent when evaluating an expression
in the debugger which requires constructing an object of class which has
had this optimization applied to it. When compiling the expression, we
pretend that the class and its methods have been defined in another
compilation unit, so the expression compiler assumes the structor
definition must be available. This didn't use to be the case for
structors with internal linkage. Less aggressive optimizations like
emitting the full structor as an alias remain in place, as they do not
cause the structor symbol to disappear completely.
This improves debug quality on non-darwin platforms (darwin does not
have -mconstructor-aliases on by default, so it is spared these
problems) and enable us to remove some workarounds from LLDB which attempt to
mitigate this issue.

Patch by luzpaz! (This is a subset of D44188 that applies cleanly with a few
files that have dubious fixes reverted.)

Much to my surprise, '-disable-llvm-optzns' which I thought was the
magical flag I wanted to get at the raw LLVM IR coming out of Clang
deosn't do that. It still runs some passes over the IR. I don't want
that, I really want the *raw* IR coming out of Clang and I strongly
suspect everyone else using it is in the same camp.
There is actually a flag that does what I want that I didn't know about
called '-disable-llvm-passes'. I suspect many others don't know about it
either. It both does what I want and is much simpler.
This removes the confusing version and makes that spelling of the flag
an alias for '-disable-llvm-passes'. I've also moved everything in Clang
to use the 'passes' spelling as it seems both more accurate (*all* LLVM
passes are disabled, not just optimizations) and much easier to remember
and spell correctly.
This is part of simplifying how Clang drives LLVM to make it cleaner to
wire up to the new pass manager.

In ItaniumCXXABI::EmitCXXDestructors we first emit the base destructor
and then try to emit the complete one as an alias.
If in the base ends up calling the complete destructor, the GD for the
complete will be in the list of deferred decl by the time we replace
it with an alias and delete the original GV.

There are situations when clang knows that the C1 and C2 constructors
or the D1 and D2 destructors are identical. We already optimize some
of these cases, but cannot optimize it when the GlobalValue is
weak_odr.
The problem with weak_odr is that an old TU seeing the same code will
have a C1 and a C2 comdat with the corresponding symbols. We cannot
suddenly start putting the C2 symbol in the C1 comdat as we cannot
guarantee that the linker will not pick a .o with only C1 in it.
The solution implemented by GCC is to expand the ABI to have a comdat
whose name uses a C5/D5 suffix and always has both symbols. That is
what this patch implements.

Now that llvm cannot represent alias cycles, we have to diagnose erros just
before trying to close the cycle. This degrades the errors a bit. The real
solution is what it was before: if we want to provide good errors for these
cases, we have to be able to find a clang level decl given a mangled name
and produce the error from Sema.

available always-inline functions. This breaks libc++'s locale
implementation. Code generation for this case should be fixed, but this
is a stop gap fix for clang 3.4.

This patch disables aliasing (and rauw) of derived dtors to base dtors at -O0.
This optimization can have a negative impact on the debug quality.
This was a latent bug for some time with local classes, but got noticed when it
was generalized and broke gdb's destrprint.exp.

The problem was that given
template<typename T>
struct foo {
~foo() {}
};
template class foo<int>;
We would produce a alias, creating a comdat with D0 and D1, since the symbols
have to be weak. Another TU is not required to have a explicit template
instantiation definition or an explict template instantiation declaration and
for
template<typename T>
struct foo {
~foo() {}
};
foo<int> a;
we would produce a comdat with only one symbol in it.
llvm-svn: 194520
The assert this patch deletes was valid only when aliasing D2 to D1, not when
looking at a base class. Since the assert was in the path where we had already
decided to not produce an alias, just drop it.
llvm-svn: 194411
It is not safe to emit alias to undefined (not supported by ELF or COFF), but
it is safe to rauw when the alias would have been internal or linkonce_odr.
llvm-svn: 194307
Unlike an alias a rauw is always safe, so we don't need to avoid this
optimization when the replacement is not know to be available in every TU.

This is a small optimization on linux, but should help more on windows
where msvc only outputs one destructor if there would be two identical ones.

With this patch we produce alias for cases like
template<typename T>
struct foobar {
foobar() {
}
};
template struct foobar<void>;
We just have to be careful to produce the same aliases in every TU because
of comdats.
