patch brings numerous advantages to LLVM. One way to look at it
is through diffstat:
109 files changed, 3005 insertions(+), 5906 deletions(-)
Removing almost 3K lines of code is a good thing. Other advantages
include:
1. Value::getType() is a simple load that can be CSE'd, not a mutating
union-find operation.
2. Types a uniqued and never move once created, defining away PATypeHolder.
3. Structs can be "named" now, and their name is part of the identity that
uniques them. This means that the compiler doesn't merge them structurally
which makes the IR much less confusing.
4. Now that there is no way to get a cycle in a type graph without a named
struct type, "upreferences" go away.
5. Type refinement is completely gone, which should make LTO much MUCH faster
in some common cases with C++ code.
6. Types are now generally immutable, so we can use "Type *" instead
"const Type *" everywhere.
Downsides of this patch are that it removes some functions from the C API,
so people using those will have to upgrade to (not yet added) new API.
"LLVM 3.0" is the right time to do this.
There are still some cleanups pending after this, this patch is large enough
as-is.

reassociation opportunities are exposed. This fixes a bug where
the nested reassociation expects to be the IR to be consistent,
but it isn't, because the outer reassociation has disconnected
some of the operands. rdar://9167457

after it has finished all of its reassociations, because its
habit of unlinking operands and holding them in a datastructure
while working means that it's not easy to determine when an
instruction is really dead until after all its regular work is
done. rdar://9096268.

operand being factorized (and erased) could occur several times in Ops,
resulting in freed memory being used when the next occurrence in Ops was
analyzed.

positive and negative forms of constants together. This
allows us to compile:
int foo(int x, int y) {
return (x-y) + (x-y) + (x-y);
}
into:
_foo: ## @foo
subl %esi, %edi
leal (%rdi,%rdi,2), %eax
ret
instead of (where the 3 and -3 were not factored):
_foo:
imull $-3, 8(%esp), %ecx
imull $3, 4(%esp), %eax
addl %ecx, %eax
ret
this started out as:
movl 12(%ebp), %ecx
imull $3, 8(%ebp), %eax
subl %ecx, %eax
subl %ecx, %eax
subl %ecx, %eax
ret
This comes from PR5359.

input filename so that opt doesn't print the input filename in the
output so that grep lines in the tests don't unintentionally match
strings in the input filename.

integer and floating-point opcodes, introducing
FAdd, FSub, and FMul.
For now, the AsmParser, BitcodeReader, and IRBuilder all preserve
backwards compatability, and the Core LLVM APIs preserve backwards
compatibility for IR producers. Most front-ends won't need to change
immediately.
This implements the first step of the plan outlined here:

Remove && from the end of the lines to prevent tests from throwing run
lines into the background. Also, clean up places where the same command
is run multiple times by using a temporary file.

Upgrade to use new Tcl exec based test harness. This exposes 3 bugs that
were previously not being reported:
test/Transforms/GlobalDCE/2002-08-17-FunctionDGE.ll
test/Transforms/GlobalOpt/memset.ll
test/Transforms/IndVarsSimplify/exit_value_tests.llx
llvm-svn: 36065
global variables that needed to be passed in. This makes it possible to
add new global variables with only a couple changes (Makefile and llvm-dg.exp)
instead of touching every single dg.exp file.

This feature is needed in order to support shifts of more than 255 bits
on large integer types. This changes the syntax for llvm assembly to
make shl, ashr and lshr instructions look like a binary operator:
shl i32 %X, 1
instead of
shl i32 %X, i8 1
Additionally, this should help a few passes perform additional optimizations.
