This is part of the work to devirtualize Value.
The old pattern was to call replaceUsesOfWithOnConstant which was overridden by
subclasses. Those could then call replaceUsesOfWithOnConstantImpl on Constant
to handle deleting the current value.
To be consistent with other parts of the code, this has been changed so that we
call the method on Constant, and that dispatches to an Impl on subclasses.
As part of this, it made sense to rename the methods to be more descriptive. The
new name is Constant::handleOperandChange, and it requires that all subclasses of
Constant implement handleOperandChangeImpl, even if they just throw an error if
they shouldn't be called.

The only caller of this method is Value::replaceAllUsesWith which
explicitly checks that we are not a GlobalValue. So replace the
body with an unreachable to ensure that we never call it.
The unreachable itself is moved to GlobalValue not GlobalVariable
as that is the base class of all the globals we don't want to call
this method on.
Note, this patch is short lived as i'll soon refactor all callers
of this method.

This reorganizes destroyConstant and destroyConstantImpl.
Now there is only destroyConstant in Constant itself, while
subclasses are required to implement destroyConstantImpl.
destroyConstantImpl no longer calls delete but is instead only
responsible for removing the constant from any maps in which it
is contained.

This is to try make it very clear that subclasses shouldn't be changing
the value directly. Now that OperandList for normal instructions is computed
using the NumOperands, its critical that the NumOperands is accurate or we
could compute the wrong offset to the first operand.
I looked over all places which update NumOperands and they are all safe.
Hung off use User's don't use NumOperands to compute the OperandList so they
are safe to continue to manipulate it. The only other User which changed it
was GlobalVariable which has an optional init list but always allocated space
for a single Use. It was correctly setting NumOperands to 1 before setting an
initializer, and setting it to 0 after clearing the init list, so the order was safe.
Added some comments to that code to make sure that this isn't changed in future
without being aware of this constraint.

Many of the callers already have the pointer type anyway, and for the
couple of callers that don't it's pretty easy to call PointerType::get
on the pointee type and address space.
This avoids LLParser from using PointerType::getElementType when parsing
GlobalAliases from IR.

Summary:
This does not conceptually belongs here. Instead provide a shortcut
getModule() that provides access to the DataLayout.

To do this, change the representation of lazy loaded functions.
The previous representation cannot differentiate between a function whose body
has been removed and one whose body hasn't been read from the .bc file. That
means that in order to drop a function, the entire body had to be read.

This new IR facility allows us to represent the object-file semantic of
a COMDAT group.
COMDATs allow us to tie together sections and make the inclusion of one
dependent on another. This is required to implement features like MS
ABI VFTables and optimizing away certain kinds of initialization in C++.
This functionality is only representable in COFF and ELF, Mach-O has no
similar mechanism.

This patch changes GlobalAlias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr and it is
up to MC (or the system assembler) to decide if that expression is valid or not.
This reduces our ability to diagnose invalid uses and how early we can spot
them, but it also lets us do things like
@test5 = alias inttoptr(i32 sub (i32 ptrtoint (i32* @test2 to i32),
i32 ptrtoint (i32* @bar to i32)) to i32*)
An important implication of this patch is that the notion of aliased global
doesn't exist any more. The alias has to encode the information needed to
access it in its metadata (linkage, visibility, type, etc).
Another consequence to notice is that getSection has to return a "const char *".
It could return a NullTerminatedStringRef if there was such a thing, but when
that was proposed the decision was to just uses "const char*" for that.
llvm-svn: 210062
This matches gcc's behavior. It also seems natural given that aliases
contain other properties that govern how it is accessed (linkage,
visibility, dll storage).
Clang still has to be updated to expose this feature to C.
llvm-svn: 209759
This patch changes the design of GlobalAlias so that it doesn't take a
ConstantExpr anymore. It now points directly to a GlobalObject, but its type is
independent of the aliasee type.
To avoid changing all alias related tests in this patches, I kept the common
syntax
@foo = alias i32* @bar
to mean the same as now. The cases that used to use cast now use the more
general syntax
@foo = alias i16, i32* @bar.
Note that GlobalAlias now behaves a bit more like GlobalVariable. We
know that its type is always a pointer, so we omit the '*'.
For the bitcode, a nice surprise is that we were writing both identical types
already, so the format change is minimal. Auto upgrade is handled by looking
through the casts and no new fields are needed for now. New bitcode will
simply have different types for Alias and Aliasee.
One last interesting point in the patch is that replaceAllUsesWith becomes
smart enough to avoid putting a ConstantExpr in the aliasee. This seems better
than checking and updating every caller.
A followup patch will delete getAliasedGlobal now that it is redundant. Another
patch will add support for an explicit offset.

This reverts commit r208934.
The patch depends on aliases to GEPs with non zero offsets. That is not
supported and fairly broken.
The good news is that GlobalAlias is being redesigned and will have support
for offsets, so this patch should be a nice match for it.

This commit implements two command line switches -global-merge-on-external
and -global-merge-aligned, and both of them are false by default, so this
optimization is disabled by default for all targets.
For ARM64, some back-end behaviors need to be tuned to get this optimization
further enabled.
llvm-svn: 208934
This allows code to statically accept a Function or a GlobalVariable, but
not an alias. This is already a cleanup by itself IMHO, but the main
reason for it is that it gives a lot more confidence that the refactoring to fix
the design of GlobalAlias is correct. That will be a followup patch.
llvm-svn: 208716
This is similar to the getAlignment patch, but is done just for
completeness. It looks like we never call getSection on an alias. All the
tests still pass if the if is replaced with an assert.

An alias has the address of what it points to, so it also has the same
alignment.
This allows a few optimizations to see past aliases for free.

This adds back r204781.
Original message:
Aliases are just another name for a position in a file. As such, the
regular symbol resolutions are not applied. For example, given
define void @my_func() {
ret void
}
@my_alias = alias weak void ()* @my_func
@my_alias2 = alias void ()* @my_alias
We produce without this patch:
.weak my_alias
my_alias = my_func
.globl my_alias2
my_alias2 = my_alias
That is, in the resulting ELF file my_alias, my_func and my_alias are
just 3 names pointing to offset 0 of .text. That is *not* the
semantics of IR linking. For example, linking in a
@my_alias = alias void ()* @other_func
would require the strong my_alias to override the weak one and
my_alias2 would end up pointing to other_func.
There is no way to represent that with aliases being just another
name, so the best solution seems to be to just disallow it, converting
a miscompile into an error.

source file had already been moved. Also move the unittest into the IR
unittest library.
This may seem an odd thing to put in the IR library but we only really
use this with instructions and it needs the LLVM context to work, so it
is intrinsically tied to the IR library.

Eventually DataLayoutPass should go away, but for now that is the only easy
way to get a DataLayout in some APIs. This patch only changes the ones that
have easy access to a Module.
One interesting issue with sometimes using DataLayoutPass and sometimes
fetching it from the Module is that we have to make sure they are equivalent.
We can get most of the way there by always constructing the pass with a Module.
In fact, the pass could be changed to point to an external DataLayout instead
of owning one to make this stricter.
Unfortunately, the C api passes a DataLayout, so it has to be up to the caller
to make sure the pass and the module are in sync.

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.

I am going to add in the actual test cases with the actual functionality
changes in a later patch because I want to include some test cases.
To be clear when I say no *TRUE* functionality change I mean that this
patch (like it says in the title) only contains getters/setters and sets
up a default initial value of the instance variable to false so that
this patch does not affect any other uses of Global Variable.h.

into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.
llvm-svn: 171366
Aside from moving the actual files, this patch only updates the build
system and the source file comments under lib/... that are relevant.
I'll be updating other docs and other files in smaller subsequnet
commits.
While I've tried to test this, but it is entirely possible that there
will still be some build system fallout.
Also, note that I've not changed the library name itself: libLLVMCore.a
is still the library name. I'd be interested in others' opinions about
whether we should rename this as well (I think we should, just not sure
what it might break)
