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.

all over the place in different styles and variants. Standardize on two
preferred entrypoints: one that takes a StructType and ArrayRef, and one that
takes StructType and varargs.
In cases where there isn't a struct type convenient, we now add a
ConstantStruct::getAnon method (whose name will make more sense after a few
more patches land).
It would be "really really nice" if the ConstantStruct::get and
ConstantVector::get methods didn't make temporary std::vectors.

Simulate memset in EvaluateFunction where the target of the memset and the
value we're setting are both the null value. Fixes PR10047!

mean that it has to be ConstantArray of ConstantStruct. We might have
ConstantAggregateZero, at either level, so don't crash on that.
Also, semi-deprecate the sentinal value. The linker isn't aware of sentinals so
we end up with the two lists appended, each with their "sentinals" on them.
Different parts of LLVM treated sentinals differently, so make them all just
ignore the single entry and continue on with the rest of the list.

one Value set. This is faster because we only need to use the set when there
isn't already an entry in the map. No functionality change!

could end up removing a different function than we intended because it was
functionally equivalent, then end up with a comparison of a function against
itself in the next round of comparisons (the one in the function set and the
one on the deferred list). To fix this, I introduce a choice in the form of
comparison for ComparableFunctions, either normal or "pointer only" used to
find exact Function*'s in lookups.
Also add some debugging statements.
llvm-svn: 125180
that might have changed been affected by a merge elsewhere will have been
removed from the function set, and it isn't needed for performance because we
call grow() ahead of time to prevent reallocations.

merge vector<intptr_t>::push_back() and vector<void*>::push_back() because
Enumerate() doesn't realize that "i64* null" and "i8** null" are equivalent.

This fixes the original testcase in PR8927. It also causes a clang
binary built with a patched clang to increase in size by 0.21%.
We can probably get some of the size back by writing a pass that
detects that a global never has its pointer compared and adds
unnamed_addr to it (maybe extend global opt). It is also possible that
there are some other cases clang could add unnamed_addr to.
I will investigate extending globalopt next.

case where a static caller is itself inlined everywhere else, and
thus may go away if it doesn't get too big due to inlining other
things into it. If there are references to the caller other than
calls, it will not be removed; account for this.
This results in same-day completion of the case in PR8853.
llvm-svn: 122821
maintains the guarantee that the DenseSet expects two elements it contains to
not go from inequal to equal under its nose.
As a side-effect, this also lets us switch from iterating to a fixed-point to
actually maintaining a work queue of functions to look at again, and we don't
add thunks to our work queue so we don't need to detect and ignore them.

(if available) as we go so that we get simple constantexprs not insane ones.
This fixes the failure of clang/test/CodeGenCXX/virtual-base-ctor.cpp
that the previous iteration of this patch had.

optimization.
Consider:
static void foo() {
A = alloca
...
}
static void bar() {
B = alloca
...
call foo();
}
void main() {
bar()
}
The inliner proceeds bottom up, but lets pretend it decides not to inline foo
into bar. When it gets to main, it inlines bar into main(), and says "hey, I
just inlined an alloca "B" into main, lets remember that. Then it keeps going
and finds that it now contains a call to foo. It decides to inline foo into
main, and says "hey, foo has an alloca A, and I have an alloca B from another
inlined call site, lets reuse it". The problem with this of course, is that
the lifetime of A and B are nested, not disjoint.
Unfortunately I can't create a reasonable testcase for this: the one in the
PR is both huge and extremely sensitive, because you minor tweaks end up
causing foo to get inlined into bar too early. We already have tests for the
basic alloca merging optimization and this does not break them.

testing for dereferenceable pointers into a helper function,
isDereferenceablePointer. Teach it how to reason about GEPs
with simple non-zero indices.
Also eliminate ArgumentPromtion's IsAlwaysValidPointer,
which didn't check for weak externals or out of range gep
indices.

to optionally look for constant or local (alloca) memory.
Teach BasicAliasAnalysis::pointsToConstantMemory to look through Select
and Phi nodes, and to support looking for local memory.
Remove FunctionAttrs' PointsToLocalOrConstantMemory function, now that
AliasAnalysis knows all the tricks that it knew.

consider it to be readonly. In fact, don't even consider it to be
readonly if it does a volatile load from an AllocaInst either (it
is debatable as to whether readonly would be correct or not in this
case; play safe for the moment). This fixes PR8279.

must be called in the pass's constructor. This function uses static dependency declarations to recursively initialize
the pass's dependencies.
Clients that only create passes through the createFooPass() APIs will require no changes. Clients that want to use the
CommandLine options for passes will need to manually call the appropriate initialization functions in PassInitialization.h
before parsing commandline arguments.
I have tested this with all standard configurations of clang and llvm-gcc on Darwin. It is possible that there are problems
with the static dependencies that will only be visible with non-standard options. If you encounter any crash in pass
registration/creation, please send the testcase to me directly.
llvm-svn: 116820
perform initialization without static constructors AND without explicit initialization
by the client. For the moment, passes are required to initialize both their
(potential) dependencies and any passes they preserve. I hope to be able to relax
the latter requirement in the future.

The x86_mmx type is used for MMX intrinsics, parameters and
return values where these use MMX registers, and is also
supported in load, store, and bitcast.
Only the above operations generate MMX instructions, and optimizations
do not operate on or produce MMX intrinsics.
MMX-sized vectors <2 x i32> etc. are lowered to XMM or split into
smaller pieces. Optimizations may occur on these forms and the
result casted back to x86_mmx, provided the result feeds into a
previous existing x86_mmx operation.
The point of all this is prevent optimizations from introducing
MMX operations, which is unsafe due to the EMMS problem.

"external" even when doing lazy bitcode loading. This was broken because
a function that is not materialized fails the !isDeclaration() test.
llvm-svn: 114666
Switch from isWeakForLinker to mayBeOverridden which is more accurate.
Add more statistics and debugging info. Add comments. Move static function
outside anonymous namespace.

two are weak, we make them thunks to a new strong function) so don't iterate
through the function list as we're modifying it.
Also add back the outermost loop which got removed during the cleanups.
llvm-svn: 112595
fix: add a flag to MapValue and friends which indicates whether
any module-level mappings are being made. In the common case of
inlining, no module-level mappings are needed, so MapValue doesn't
need to examine non-function-local metadata, which can be very
expensive in the case of a large module with really deep metadata
(e.g. a large C++ program compiled with -g).
This flag is a little awkward; perhaps eventually it can be moved
into the ClonedCodeInfo class.
llvm-svn: 112190
Further clean up the comparison function by removing overly generalized
"domains".
Remove all understanding of ELF aliases and simplify folding code and comments.
llvm-svn: 110434
eliminate several const_casts.
Make CallSite implicitly convertible to ImmutableCallSite.
Rename the getModRefBehavior for intrinsic IDs to
getIntrinsicModRefBehavior to avoid overload ambiguity with CallSite,
which happens to be implicitly convertible to bool.
llvm-svn: 110155
Start cleaning up MergeFunctions to look more like the rest of LLVM. The
primary change here is to move the methods responsible for comparison into the
new FunctionComparator object. Some comments added. There's more to do.

exactly what bugpoint expected it to do.
There was also only one user of
BlockExtractorPass(const std::vector<BasicBlock*> &B), so just remove it and
make BlockExtractorPass read BlockFile.
This fixes bugpoint's block extraction.
Nick, please review.
