coding standards, and instead fix the existing section.
Thanks to Daniel Jasper for pointing out we already had a section
devoted to this topic. Instead of adding sections, just hack on this
section some. Also fix the example in the anonymous namespace section
below it to agree with the new advice.
As a re-cap, this switches the LLVM preferred style to never indent
namespaces. Having two approaches just led to endless (and utterly
pointless) debates about what was "small enough". This wasn't helping
anyone. The no-indent rule is easy to understand and doesn't really make
anything harder to read. Moreover, with tools like clang-format it is
considerably nicer to have simple consistent rules.

(and to mention namespace ending comments). This is based on a quick
discussion on the developer mailing list where there was essentially no
objections to a simple and consistent rule. This should avoid future
debates about whether or not a namespace is "big enough" to indent. It
also matches clang-format's current behavior with LLVM source code which
hasn't really seen any opposition in code reviews that I spot checked.

Summary:
The only current use of this flag is to mark the alloca as dynamic, even
if its in the entry block. The stack adjustment for the alloca can
never be folded into the prologue because the call may clear it and it
has to be allocated at the top of the stack.

This patch adds two new target-independent calling conventions for runtime
calls - PreserveMost and PreserveAll.
The target-specific implementation for X86-64 is defined as following:
- Arguments are passed as for the default C calling convention
- The same applies for the return value(s)
- PreserveMost preserves all GPRs - except R11
- PreserveAll preserves all GPRs and all XMMs/YMMs - except R11

This makes things a lot easier, because we can now talk about the
"argument allocation", which allocates all the memory for the call in
one shot.
The only functional change is to the verifier for a feature that hasn't
shipped yet.

Representing dllexport/dllimport as distinct linkage types prevents using
these attributes on templates and inline functions.
Instead of introducing further mixed linkage types to include linkonce and
weak ODR, the old import/export linkage types are replaced with a new
separate visibility-like specifier:
define available_externally dllimport void @f() {}
@Var = dllexport global i32 1, align 4
Linkage for dllexported globals and functions is now equal to their linkage
without dllexport. Imported globals and functions must be either
declarations with external linkage, or definitions with
AvailableExternallyLinkage.

Use separate callee-save masks for XMM and YMM registers for anyregcc on X86 and
select the proper mask depending on the target cpu we compile for.
llvm-svn: 198985
Before this patch any program that wanted to know the final symbol name of a
GlobalValue had to link with Target.
This patch implements a compromise solution where the mangler uses DataLayout.
This way, any tool that already links with Target (llc, clang) gets the exact
behavior as before and new IR files can be mangled without linking with Target.
With this patch the mangler is constructed with just a DataLayout and DataLayout
is extended to include the information the Mangler needs.

During the years there have been some attempts at figuring out how to
align byval arguments. A look at the commit log suggests that they
were
* Use the ABI alignment.
* When that was not sufficient for x86-64, I added the 's' specification to
DataLayout.
* When that was not sufficient Evan added the virtual getByValTypeAlignment.
* When even that was not sufficient, we just got the FE to add the alignment
to the byval.
This patch is just a simple cleanup that removes my first attempt at fixing the
problem. I also added an AArch64 implementation of getByValTypeAlignment to
make sure this patch is a nop. I also left the 's' parsing for backward
compatibility.
I will send a short email to llvmdev about the change for anyone maintaining
an out of tree target.

These still have "experimental" status, meaning we don't guarantee
backward compatibility. However, they are already actively used by the
open source WebKit project, and have started to be adopted by other
projects.

The inalloca attribute is designed to support passing C++ objects by
value in the Microsoft C++ ABI. It behaves the same as byval, except
that it always implies that the argument is in memory and that the bytes
are never copied. This attribute allows the caller to take the address
of an outgoing argument's memory and execute arbitrary code to store
into it.
This patch adds basic IR support, docs, and verification. It does not
attempt to implement any lowering or fix any possibly broken transforms.
When this patch lands, a complete description of this feature should
appear at http://llvm.org/docs/InAlloca.html .

They were out of place since the introduction of arbitrary precision integer
types.
This also synchronizes the documentation to Types.h, so it refers to first class
types and single value types.
llvm-svn: 196661
It appears to be referring to nonexistent entities. This must be a
carry-over from an older version of the document.

* Update build instructions to reflect the current source tree layout.
* Don't inflict CVS on readers; there's a perfectly good git mirror.
* configure with --disable-werror making it possible to build using clang.
* ar and nm-new now support the -plugin option.

In some case, it may be required to build LLVM in C++11 mode, as some the subprojects (like lldb) requires it.
This mimics the autoconf behaviour.
However, given the discussions on the switch to C++11 of the codebase, this behaviour should evolve to default to C++11 with some checks of the compiler capabilities.

This is the first step to fix pr17918.
It extends the .section directive a bit, inspired by what the ELF one looks
like. The problem with using linkonce is that given
.section foo
.linkonce....
.section foo
.linkonce
we would already have switched sections when getting to .linkonce. The cleanest
solution seems to be to add the comdat information in the .section itself.
llvm-svn: 195148
(except functions marked always_inline).
Functions with 'optnone' must also have 'noinline' so they don't get
inlined into any other function.
Based on work by Andrea Di Biagio.
