For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
We currently have strict floating point/constrained floating point enabled
for all targets. Constrained SDAG nodes get converted to the regular ones
before reaching the target layer. In theory this should be fine.
However, the changes are exposed to users through multiple clang options
already in use in the field, and the changes are _completely_ _untested_
on almost all of our targets. Bugs have already been found, like
"https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45274".
This patch disables constrained floating point options in clang everywhere
except X86 and SystemZ. A warning will be printed when this happens.
Use the new -fexperimental-strict-floating-point flag to force allowing
strict floating point on hosts that aren't already marked as supporting
it (X86 and SystemZ).
