__attribute__((objc_direct)) is an attribute on methods declaration, and
__attribute__((objc_direct_members)) on implementation, categories or
extensions.
A `direct` property specifier is added (@property(direct) type name)
These attributes / specifiers cause the method to have no associated
Objective-C metadata (for the property or the method itself), and the
calling convention to be a direct C function call.
The symbol for the method has enforced hidden visibility and such direct
calls are hence unreachable cross image. An explicit C function must be
made if so desired to wrap them.
The implicit `self` and `_cmd` arguments are preserved, however to
maintain compatibility with the usual `objc_msgSend` semantics,
3 fundamental precautions are taken:
1) for instance methods, `self` is nil-checked. On arm64 backends this
typically adds a single instruction (cbz x0, <closest-ret>) to the
codegen, for the vast majority of the cases when the return type is a
scalar.
2) for class methods, because the class may not be realized/initialized
yet, a call to `[self self]` is emitted. When the proper deployment
target is used, this is optimized to `objc_opt_self(self)`.
However, long term we might want to emit something better that the
optimizer can reason about. When inlining kicks in, these calls
aren't optimized away as the optimizer has no idea that a single call
is really necessary.
3) the calling convention for the `_cmd` argument is changed: the caller
leaves the second argument to the call undefined, and the selector is
loaded inside the body when it's referenced only.
As far as error reporting goes, the compiler refuses:
- making any overloads direct,
- making an overload of a direct method,
- implementations marked as direct when the declaration in the
interface isn't (the other way around is allowed, as the direct
attribute is inherited from the declaration),
- marking methods required for protocol conformance as direct,
- messaging an unqualified `id` with a direct method,
- forming any @selector() expression with only direct selectors.
As warnings:
- any inconsistency of direct-related calling convention when
@selector() or messaging is used,
- forming any @selector() expression with a possibly direct selector.
Lastly an `objc_direct_members` attribute is added that can decorate
`@implementation` blocks and causes methods only declared there (and in
no `@interface`) to be automatically direct. When decorating an
`@interface` then all methods and properties declared in this block are
marked direct.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and

Currently, clang generates a new block descriptor global variable for
each new block literal. This commit merges block descriptors that are
identical inside and across translation units using the same approach
taken in r339438.
To enable merging identical block descriptors, the size and signature of
the block and information about the captures are encoded into the name
of the block descriptor variable. Also, the block descriptor variable is
marked as linkonce_odr and unnamed_addr.

Introduces funclet-based unwinding for Objective-C and fixes an issue
where global blocks can't have their isa pointers initialised on
Windows.
After discussion with Dustin, this changes the name mangling of
Objective-C types to prevent a C++ catch statement of type struct X*
from catching an Objective-C object of type X*.

When using blocks, a byref structure is created to represent the
closure. The "byref.layout" field of this structure is an i8*. However,
some 'inline' layouts are represented as i64's, not i8*'s.
Prior to r246985 we cast the i64 'inline' layout to an i8* before
assigning it into the byref structure. This patch brings the cast back
and adds a regression test.
The original version of this patch was too invasive. This version only adds the
cast to BuildByrefLayout.

Introduce an Address type to bundle a pointer value with an
alignment. Introduce APIs on CGBuilderTy to work with Address
values. Change core APIs on CGF/CGM to traffic in Address where
appropriate. Require alignments to be non-zero. Update a ton
of code to compute and propagate alignment information.
As part of this, I've promoted CGBuiltin's EmitPointerWithAlignment
helper function to CGF and made use of it in a number of places in
the expression emitter.
The end result is that we should now be significantly more correct
when performing operations on objects that are locally known to
be under-aligned. Since alignment is not reliably tracked in the
type system, there are inherent limits to this, but at least we
are no longer confused by standard operations like derived-to-base
conversions and array-to-pointer decay. I've also fixed a large
number of bugs where we were applying the complete-object alignment
to a pointer instead of the non-virtual alignment, although most of
these were hidden by the very conservative approach we took with
member alignment.
Also, because IRGen now reliably asserts on zero alignments, we
should no longer be subject to an absurd but frustrating recurring
bug where an incomplete type would report a zero alignment and then
we'd naively do a alignmentAtOffset on it and emit code using an
alignment equal to the largest power-of-two factor of the offset.
We should also now be emitting much more aggressive alignment
attributes in the presence of over-alignment. In particular,
field access now uses alignmentAtOffset instead of min.
Several times in this patch, I had to change the existing
code-generation pattern in order to more effectively use
the Address APIs. For the most part, this seems to be a strict
improvement, like doing pointer arithmetic with GEPs instead of
ptrtoint. That said, I've tried very hard to not change semantics,
but it is likely that I've failed in a few places, for which I
apologize.
ABIArgInfo now always carries the assumed alignment of indirect and
indirect byval arguments. In order to cut down on what was already
a dauntingly large patch, I changed the code to never set align
attributes in the IR on non-byval indirect arguments. That is,
we still generate code which assumes that indirect arguments have
the given alignment, but we don't express this information to the
backend except where it's semantically required (i.e. on byvals).
This is likely a minor regression for those targets that did provide
this information, but it'll be trivial to add it back in a later
patch.
I partially punted on applying this work to CGBuiltin. Please
do not add more uses of the CreateDefaultAligned{Load,Store}
APIs; they will be going away eventually.

Before this patch the globals were created with the wrong linkage and patched
afterwards. From the comments it looks like something would complain about
having an internal GV with no initializer. At least in clang the verifier will
only run way after we set the initializer, so that is not a problem.
This patch should be a nop. It just figures out the linkage earlier and
converts the old calls to setLinkage to asserts. The only case where that is
not possible is when we first see a weak import that is then implemented. In
that case we have to change the linkage, but that is the only setLinkage left.

calls and declarations.
LLVM has a default CC determined by the target triple. This is
not always the actual default CC for the ABI we've been asked to
target, and so we sometimes find ourselves annotating all user
functions with an explicit calling convention. Since these
calling conventions usually agree for the simple set of argument
types passed to most runtime functions, using the LLVM-default CC
in principle has no effect. However, the LLVM optimizer goes
into histrionics if it sees this kind of formal CC mismatch,
since it has no concept of CC compatibility. Therefore, if this
module happens to define the "runtime" function, or got LTO'ed
with such a definition, we can miscompile; so it's quite
important to get this right.
Defining runtime functions locally is quite common in embedded
applications.

potentially affects how we need to lower it. Propagate
this information down to the various getFunctionInfo(...)
overloads on CodeGenTypes. Furthermore, rename those
overloads to clarify their distinct purposes, and make
sure we're calling the right one in the right place.
This has a nice side-effect of making it easier to construct
a function type, since the 'variadic' bit is no longer
separable.
This shouldn't really change anything for our existing
platforms, with one minor exception --- we should now call
variadic ObjC methods with the ... in the "right place"

running GNUStep on MIPS. Mostly it's just a substantial
