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 .

Add a helper function getDebugInfoVersionFromModule to return the debug info
version number for a module.
"Verifier/module-flags-1.ll" checks for verification errors.
It will seg fault when calling getDebugInfoVersionFromModule because of the
incorrect format for module flags in the testing case. We make
getModuleFlagsMetadata more robust by checking for error conditions.

In order to create an ObjectFile implementation that uses bitcode files, we
need to propagate the bitcode errors to the ObjectFile interface, so we need
to convert it to use the same error handling as ObjectFile: error_code.

linkonce_odr_auto_hide was in incomplete attempt to implement a way
for the linker to hide symbols that are known to be available in every
TU and whose addresses are not relevant for a particular DSO.
It was redundant in that it all its uses are equivalent to
linkonce_odr+unnamed_addr. Unlike those, it has never been connected
to clang or llvm's optimizers, so it was effectively dead.
Given that nothing produces it, this patch just nukes it
(other than the llvm-c enum value).

Major steps include:
1). introduces a not-addr-taken bit-field in GlobalVariable
2). GlobalOpt pass sets "not-address-taken" if it proves a global varirable
dosen't have its address taken.
3). AA use this info for disambiguation.

Here is a patch that fixes decoding of CE_SELECT in BitcodeReader,
along with a simple test case. The problem in the current code is that
it generates but doesn't accept bitcode that uses vectors for the
first element of a select in this context.

The work on this project was left in an unfinished and inconsistent state.
Hopefully someone will eventually get a chance to implement this feature, but
in the meantime, it is better to put things back the way the were. I have
left support in the bitcode reader to handle the case-range bitcode format,
so that we do not lose bitcode compatibility with the llvm 3.3 release.

This function attribute indicates that the function is not optimized
by any optimization or code generator passes with the
exception of interprocedural optimization passes.

The bitcode representation attribute kinds are encoded into / decoded from
should be independent of the current set of LLVM attributes and their position
in the AttrKind enum. This patch explicitly encodes attributes to fixed bitcode
values.
With this patch applied, LLVM does not silently misread attributes written by
LLVM 3.3. We also enhance the decoding slightly such that an error message is
printed if an unknown AttrKind encoding was dected.
Bonus: Dropping bitcode attributes from AttrKind is now easy, as old AttrKinds
do not need to be kept to support the Bitcode reader.

There was exactly one caller using this API right, the others were relying on
specific behavior of the default implementation. Since it's too hard to use it
right just remove it and standardize on the default behavior.

Previously, BitstreamCursor read an abbreviated record by splatting the
whole thing into a data vector, then extracting and removing the /first/
element. Now, it reads the first element--the record code--separately from
the actual field values.
No (intended) functionality change.

the things, and renames it to CBindingWrapping.h. I also moved
CBindingWrapping.h into Support/.
This new file just contains the macros for defining different wrap/unwrap
methods.
The calls to those macros, as well as any custom wrap/unwrap definitions
(like for array of Values for example), are put into corresponding C++
headers.
Doing this required some #include surgery, since some .cpp files relied
on the fact that including Wrap.h implicitly caused the inclusion of a
bunch of other things.
This also now means that the C++ headers will include their corresponding
C API headers; for example Value.h must include llvm-c/Core.h. I think
this is harmless, since the C API headers contain just external function
declarations and some C types, so I don't believe there should be any
nasty dependency issues here.

The bitcode writer emits a reference to the attribute group that the object at
the given index refers to. The bitcode reader is modified to read this in and
map it back to the attribute group.

I have some uncommitted changes to the cast code that catch this sort of thing
at compile-time but I still need to do some other cleanup before I can enable
it.

This reads the attribute groups. It currently doesn't do anything with them.
NOTE: In the commit to the bitcode writer, the format *may* change in the near
future. Which means that this code would also change.
llvm-svn: 174849
This is some initial code for emitting the attribute groups into the bitcode.
NOTE: This format *may* change! Do not rely upon the attribute groups' bitcode
not changing.

bitcode writer would generate abbrev records saying that the abbrev should be
filled with fixed zero-bit bitfields (this happens in the .bc writer when
the number of types used in a module is exactly one, since log2(1) == 0).
In this case, just handle it as a literal zero. We can't "just fix" the writer
without breaking compatibility with existing bc files, so have the abbrev reader
do the substitution.
Strengthen the assert in read to reject reads of zero bits so we catch such
crimes in the future, and remove the special case designed to handle this.
llvm-svn: 174801
Rename the PARAMATTR_CODE_ENTRY to PARAMATTR_CODE_ENTRY_OLD. It will be replaced
by another encoding. Keep around the current LLVM attribute encoder/decoder
code, but move it to the bitcode directories so that no one's tempted to use
them.
llvm-svn: 174335
We no longer accept an encoded integer as representing all of the
attributes. Convert this via the AttrBuilder class into an AttributeSet with the
correct representation (an AttributeSetImpl that holds a list of Attribute
objects).
llvm-svn: 173750
The 'getSlot' function and its ilk allow introspection into the AttributeSet
class. However, that class should be opaque. Allow access through accessor
methods instead.

Previously we tried to infer it from the bit width size, with an added
IsIEEE argument for the PPC/IEEE 128-bit case, which had a default
value. This default value allowed bugs to creep in, where it was
inappropriate.
