return value as a whole in deadargelim is really not needed now that we simply
rebuild the old return value and actually prevents some canonicalization from
taking place.
This revert stops deadargelim from changing {i32} into i32 for now, but I'll
fix that next.

return values that are still (partially) live. Instead of updating all uses of
a call instruction after removing some elements, it now just rebuilds the
original struct (With undef gaps where the unused values were) and leaves it to
instcombine to clean this up.
The added testcase still fails currently, but this is due to instcombine which
isn't good enough yet. I will fix that part next.
llvm-svn: 53608
only the liveness of partial return values (for functions returning a struct).
This is more explicit to prevent unwanted changes in the return value.
In particular, deadargelim now canonicalizes a function returning {i32} to
returning i32 and {} to void, if the struct returned is not used in its
entirety, but only the single element is used.

Rewrite the DeadArgumentElimination pass, to use a more explicit tracking of
dependencies between return values and/or arguments. Also make the handling of
arguments and return values the same.
The pass now looks properly inside returned structs, but only at the first
level (ie, not inside nested structs).
This version fixed a few more bugs and was cleaned up a bit. It now passes all
of LLVM's testing, and should still pass SPEC2006. There is still a minor bug
with regard to returning nested structs. Since there is currently nothing that
emits such IR, I will fix that in a seperate commit (partly because it requires
a non-trivial fix).

DeadArgumentElimination and assert that the function type does not change if
nothing was changed. This should catch subtle changes in function type that are
not intended.

This is a fixed version that no longer uses multimap::equal_range, which
resulted in a pointer invalidation problem.
Also, DAE::InspectedFunctions was not really necessary, so it got removed.
Lastly, this version no longer applies the extra arg hack on functions who did
not have any arguments to start with.

dependencies between return values and/or arguments. Also make the handling of
arguments and return values the same.
The pass now looks properly inside returned structs, but only at the first
level (ie, not inside nested structs).
Also add a testcase for testing various variations of (multiple) dead rerturn
values.

the section or the visibility from one global
value to another: copyAttributesFrom. This is
particularly useful for duplicating functions:
previously this was done by explicitly copying
each attribute in turn at each place where a
new function was created out of an old one, with
the result that obscure attributes were regularly
forgotten (like the collector or the section).
Hopefully now everything is uniform and nothing
is forgotten.

1. There is now a "PAListPtr" class, which is a smart pointer around
the underlying uniqued parameter attribute list object, and manages
its refcount. It is now impossible to mess up the refcount.
2. PAListPtr is now the main interface to the underlying object, and
the underlying object is now completely opaque.
3. Implementation details like SmallVector and FoldingSet are now no
longer part of the interface.
4. You can create a PAListPtr with an arbitrary sequence of
ParamAttrsWithIndex's, no need to make a SmallVector of a specific
size (you can just use an array or scalar or vector if you wish).
5. All the client code that had to check for a null pointer before
dereferencing the pointer is simplified to just access the
PAListPtr directly.
6. The interfaces for adding attrs to a list and removing them is a
bit simpler.
Phase #2 will rename some stuff (e.g. PAListPtr) and do other less
invasive changes.

direct calls bails out unless caller and callee have essentially
equivalent parameter attributes. This is illogical - the callee's
attributes should be of no relevance here. Rework the logic, which
incidentally fixes a crash when removed arguments have attributes.
llvm-svn: 45658
return attributes on the floor. In the case of a call
to a varargs function where the varargs arguments are
being removed, any call attributes on those arguments
need to be dropped. I didn't do this because I plan to
make it illegal to have such attributes (see next patch).
With this change, compiling the gcc filter2 eh test at -O0
and then running opt -std-compile-opts on it results in
a correctly working program (compiling at -O1 or higher
results in the test failing due to a problem with how we
output eh info into the IR).
llvm-svn: 45285
throw exceptions", just mark intrinsics with the nounwind
attribute. Likewise, mark intrinsics as readnone/readonly
and get rid of special aliasing logic (which didn't use
anything more than this anyway).

the function type, instead they belong to functions
and function calls. This is an updated and slightly
corrected version of Reid Spencer's original patch.
The only known problem is that auto-upgrading of
bitcode files doesn't seem to work properly (see
test/Bitcode/AutoUpgradeIntrinsics.ll). Hopefully
a bitcode guru (who might that be? :) ) will fix it.

This happened because deadargelim now causes VMCore to auto-rename every
function that it hacks arguments out of. Because it hacks arguments out of
functions in a non-deterministic order, this caused the resultant numbering
to be nondet. The fix is to just be careful to not rename functions!

the Transforms library. This reduces debug library size by 132 KB, debug
binary size by 376 KB, and reduces link time for llvm tools slightly.

1. New parameter attribute called 'inreg'. It has meaning "place this
parameter in registers, if possible". This is some generalization of
gcc's regparm(n) attribute. It's currently used only in X86-32 backend.
2. Completely rewritten CC handling/lowering code inside X86 backend.
Merged stdcall + c CCs and fastcall + fast CC.
3. Dropped CSRET CC. We cannot add struct return variant for each
target-specific CC (e.g. stdcall + csretcc and so on).
4. Instead of CSRET CC introduced 'sret' parameter attribute. Setting in
on first attribute has meaning 'This is hidden pointer to structure
return. Handle it gently'.
5. Fixed small bug in llvm-extract + add new feature to
FunctionExtraction pass, which relinks all internal-linkaged callees
from deleted function to external linkage. This will allow further
linking everything together.
NOTEs: 1. Documentation will be updated soon.
2. llvm-upgrade should be improved to translate csret => sret.
Before this, there will be some unexpected test fails.

This patch replaces signed integer types with signless ones:
1. [US]Byte -> Int8
2. [U]Short -> Int16
3. [U]Int -> Int32
4. [U]Long -> Int64.
5. Removal of isSigned, isUnsigned, getSignedVersion, getUnsignedVersion
and other methods related to signedness. In a few places this warranted
identifying the signedness information from other sources.

Move include/Config and include/Support into include/llvm/Config,
include/llvm/ADT and include/llvm/Support. From here on out, all LLVM
public header files must be under include/llvm/.

as well as arguments. Now it can delete arguments and return values which are
only passed into other arguments or are returned, if they are dead. This causes
it to delete several hundred extra args/retvals from the C++ hello world program,
shrinking it by about 2K.
