For a definition (of most linkage types), dso_local is set for ELF -fno-pic/-fpie
and COFF, but not for Mach-O. This nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
This patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `
if there is an explicit linkage.
* Clang will set dso_local for Mach-O, which is currently implied by TargetMachine.cpp. This will make COFF/Mach-O and executable ELF similar.
* Eventually I hope we can make dso_local the textual LLVM IR default (write explicit "dso_preemptable" when applicable) and -fpic ELF will be similar to everything else. This patch helps move toward that goal.
When uses of personality functions were moved from LandingPadInst to
Function, we forgot to update SimplifyPersonality(). This patch corrects
that.
Note: SimplifyPersonality() is an optimization which replaces
personality functions with the default C++ personality when possible.
Without this update, some ObjC++ projects fail to link against C++
libraries (seeing as the exception ABI had effectively changed).
