ever stored to always use a legal integer type if one is available.
Regardless of whether this particular type is good or bad, it ensures we
don't get weird differences in generated code (and resulting
performance) from "equivalent" patterns that happen to end up using
a slightly different type.
After some discussion on llvmdev it seems everyone generally likes this
canonicalization. However, there may be some parts of LLVM that handle
it poorly and need to be fixed. I have at least verified that this
doesn't impede GVN and instcombine's store-to-load forwarding powers in
any obvious cases. Subtle cases are exactly what we need te flush out if
they remain.
Also note that this IR pattern should already be hitting LLVM from Clang
at least because it is exactly the IR which would be produced if you
used memcpy to copy a pointer or floating point between memory instead
of a variable.

Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}
I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines). I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.
This is part of PR21532.

Remove the command line argument "struct-path-tbaa" since we should not depend
on command line argument to decide which format the IR file is using. Instead,
we check the first operand of the tbaa tag node, if it is a MDNode, we treat
it as struct-path aware TBAA format, otherwise, we treat it as scalar TBAA
format.
When clang starts to use struct-path aware TBAA format no matter whether
struct-path-tbaa is no, and we can auto-upgrade existing bc files, the support
for scalar TBAA format can be dropped.
Existing testing cases are updated to use the struct-path aware TBAA format.

This update was done with the following bash script:
find test/Transforms -name "*.ll" | \
while read NAME; do
echo "$NAME"
if ! grep -q "^; *RUN: *llc" $NAME; then
TEMP=`mktemp -t temp`
cp $NAME $TEMP
sed -n "s/^define [^@]*@\([A-Za-z0-9_]*\)(.*$/\1/p" < $NAME | \
while read FUNC; do
sed -i '' "s/;\(.*\)\([A-Za-z0-9_]*\):\( *\)@$FUNC\([( ]*\)\$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3@$FUNC(/g" $TEMP

mv $TEMP $NAME
