Clang uses weak linkage for objc runtime functions when they are not available on the platform.
The intrinsic has this linkage so we just need to pass that on to the runtime call.
llvm-svn: 349559
For performance reasons, clang set nonlazybind on these functions. Now that we
are using intrinsics instead of runtime calls, we should set this attribute when
creating the runtime functions.

SelectionDAG currently changes these intrinsics to function calls, but that won't work
for other ISel's. Also we want to eventually support nonlazybind and weak linkage coming
from the front-end which we can't do in SelectionDAG.

This intrinsic takes two arguments, ``%ptr`` and ``%offset``. It loads
a 32-bit value from the address ``%ptr + %offset``, adds ``%ptr`` to that
value and returns it. The constant folder specifically recognizes the form of
this intrinsic and the constant initializers it may load from; if a loaded
constant initializer is known to have the form ``i32 trunc(x - %ptr)``,
the intrinsic call is folded to ``x``.
LLVM provides that the calculation of such a constant initializer will
not overflow at link time under the medium code model if ``x`` is an
``unnamed_addr`` function. However, it does not provide this guarantee for
a constant initializer folded into a function body. This intrinsic can be
used to avoid the possibility of overflows when loading from such a constant.
