Previously in a vector of pointers, the pointer couldn't be any pointer type,
it had to be a pointer to an integer or floating point type. This is a hassle
for dragonegg because the GCC vectorizer happily produces vectors of pointers
where the pointer is a pointer to a struct or whatever. Vector getelementptr
was restricted to just one index, but now that vectors of pointers can have
any pointer type it is more natural to allow arbitrary vector getelementptrs.
There is however the issue of struct GEPs, where if each lane chose different
struct fields then from that point on each lane will be working down into
unrelated types. This seems like too much pain for too little gain, so when
you have a vector struct index all the elements are required to be the same.

Patch by Quentin Colombet <qcolombet@apple.com>
Original description:
"""
The attached patch is the first step to have a better control on Oz related optimizations.
The Oz optimization level focuses on code size, thus I propose to add an attribute called ForceSizeOpt.

Convert the internal representation of the Attributes class into a pointer to an
opaque object that's uniqued by and stored in the LLVMContext object. The
Attributes class then becomes a thin wrapper around this opaque
object. Eventually, the internal representation will be expanded to include
attributes that represent code generation options, etc.

value but later turns out to be a function.
Unfortunately, we can't fold tests into a single file because we only get one
error out of llvm-as.

We use the enums to query whether an Attributes object has that attribute. The
opaque layer is responsible for knowing where that specific attribute is stored.

make it more consistent with its intended semantics.
The `linker_private_weak_def_auto' linkage type was meant to automatically hide
globals which never had their addresses taken. It has nothing to do with the
`linker_private' linkage type, which outputs the symbols with a `l' (ell) prefix
among other things.
The intended semantic is more like the `linkonce_odr' linkage type.
Change the name of the linkage type to `linkonce_odr_auto_hide'. And therefore
changing the semantics so that it produces the correct output for the linker.
Note: The old linkage name `linker_private_weak_def_auto' will still parse but
is not a synonym for `linkonce_odr_auto_hide'. This should be removed in 4.0.

This new attribute is intended to be used by the backend to determine how
the inline asm string should be parsed/printed. This patch adds the
ia_nsdialect attribute and also adds a test case to ensure the IR is
correctly parsed, but there is no functional change at this time.
The standard dialect is assumed to be AT&T. Therefore, this attribute
should only be added to MS-style inline assembly statements, which use
the Intel dialect. If we ever support more dialects we'll need to
add additional state to the attribute.

This allows the user/front-end to specify a model that is better
than what LLVM would choose by default. For example, a variable
might be declared as
@x = thread_local(initialexec) global i32 42
if it will not be used in a shared library that is dlopen'ed.
If the specified model isn't supported by the target, or if LLVM can
make a better choice, a different model may be used.

I'm not sure it's really worth expressing this as a range rather than 3 specific equalities, but it doesn't seem fundamentally wrong either.

but with a critical fix to the SelectionDAG code that optimizes copies
from strings into immediate stores: the previous code was stopping reading
string data at the first nul. Address this by adding a new argument to
llvm::getConstantStringInfo, preserving the behavior before the patch.

Problem: LLVM needs more function attributes than currently available (32 bits).
One such proposed attribute is "address_safety", which shows that a function is being checked for address safety (by AddressSanitizer, SAFECode, etc).
Solution:
- extend the Attributes from 32 bits to 64-bits
- wrap the object into a class so that unsigned is never erroneously used instead
- change "unsigned" to "Attributes" throughout the code, including one place in clang.
- the class has no "operator uint64 ()", but it has "uint64_t Raw() " to support packing/unpacking.
- the class has "safe operator bool()" to support the common idiom: if (Attributes attr = getAttrs()) useAttrs(attr);
- The CTOR from uint64_t is marked explicit, so I had to add a few explicit CTOR calls
- Add the new attribute "address_safety". Doing it in the same commit to check that attributes beyond first 32 bits actually work.
- Some of the functions from the Attribute namespace are worth moving inside the class, but I'd prefer to have it as a separate commit.
Tested:
"make check" on Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) and Mac (10.6)
built/run spec CPU 2006 on Linux with clang -O2.
This change will break clang build in lib/CodeGen/CGCall.cpp.
The following patch will fix it.

of several newly un-defaulted switches. This also helps optimizers
(including LLVM's) recognize that every case is covered, and we should
assume as much.
