Quentin Colombet 9766fed9c1 [DeadArgElim] Re-apply: Set unused arguments for internal functions
The re-apply includes fixes to clang tests that were missed in
the original commit.

Original message:
Prior to this patch we would only set to undef the unused arguments of the
external functions. The rationale was that unused arguments of internal
functions wouldn't need to be turned into undef arguments because they
should have been simply eliminated by the time we reach that code.

This is actually not true because there are plenty of cases where we can't
remove unused arguments. For instance, if the internal function is used in
an indirect call, it may not be possible to change the function signature.
Yet, for statically known call-sites we would still like to mark the unused
arguments as undef.

This patch enables the "set undef arguments" optimization on internal
functions when we encounter cases where internal functions cannot be
optimized. I.e., whenever an internal function is marked "live".

// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
on the Clang forums:
