official recommendation is to use LNT instead. I will write docs on setting up
an LNT installation for submission to llvm.org, one day.

Simplifying use_iterators by dereferencing
is not a good idea. The codebase does not depend
in this any more, and it may introduce hidden
runtime cost. If you get compile errors, please
dereference your iterator before passing to cast<>
(and friends).
Also: please consider caching the result of
operator* and reusing that instead of dereferencing
many times.

The RegionInfo pass detects single entry single exit regions in a function,
where a region is defined as any subgraph that is connected to the remaining
graph at only two spots.
Furthermore an hierarchical region tree is built.
Use it by calling "opt -regions analyze" or "opt -view-regions".

Make MDNode::destroy private.
Fix the one thing that used MDNode::destroy, outside of MDNode itself.
One should never delete or destroy an MDNode explicitly. MDNodes
implicitly go away when there are no references to them (implementation
details aside).

Targets must now implement TargetInstrInfo::copyPhysReg instead. There is no
longer a default implementation forwarding to copyRegToReg.

interface needs implementations to be consistent, so any code which
wants to support different semantics must use a different interface.
It's not currently worthwhile to add a new interface for this new
concept.
Document that AliasAnalysis doesn't support cross-function queries.

builds to "Release". The default build is unchanged (optimization on,
assertions on), however it is now called Release+Asserts. The intent
is that future LLVM releases released via llvm.org will be Release builds
in the new sense, i.e. will have assertions disabled (currently they have
assertions enabled, for a more than 20% slowdown). This will bring them
in line with MacOS releases, which ship with assertions disabled. It also
means that "Release" now means the same things in make and cmake builds:
cmake already disables assertions for "Release" builds AFAICS.

the noalias argument on function attributes be usable to model the
C99 restrict keyword on arguments, and to allow AliasAnalysis to
consider a noalias-attributed argument to be an "identified object".
To support this, refactor a new "based on" concept out of the current
pointer aliasing "associated" concept. This "based on" concept is very
similar to (though it is not identical with) the "based on" concept
in C99.
Also, reword the definition of NoAlias to more closely describe the
concept that the optimizer uses.

Objective-C metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the
linker will remove upon final linkage. However, this linkage isn't specific to
Objective-C.
For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is defined like this:
.globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced
.align 3
l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc:
.quad _objc_msgSend_fixup
.quad L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1
This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have
the metadata defined with ".weak_definition".
Currently only supported on Darwin platforms.
