An optional third field was added to `llvm.global_ctors` (and `llvm.global_dtors`) in r209015. Most of the code has been changed to deal with both versions of the variables. Users of the C API might create either version, the helper functions in LLVM create the two-field version, and clang now creates the three-field version. However, the BitcodeReader was changed to always upgrade to the three-field version. This created an unnecessary inconsistency in the IR before/after serializing to bitcode. This commit resolves the inconsistency by making the third field truly optional (and not upgrading in the bitcode reader). Since `llvm-link` was relying on this upgrade code, rather than deleting it I've moved it into `ModuleLinker`, where it upgrades these arrays as necessary to resolve inconsistencies between modules. The ideal resolution would be to remove the 2-field version and make the third field required. I filed PR20506 to track that. I changed `test/Bitcode/upgrade-global-ctors.ll` to a negative test and duplicated the `llvm-link` check in `test/Linker/global_ctors.ll` to check both upgrade directions. Since I came across this as part of PR5680 (serializing use-list order), I've also added the missing `verify-uselistorder` RUN line to `test/Bitcode/metadata-2.ll`. llvm-svn: 215457 |
