This is a part of a series of patches that have been sitting fallow on a
personal branch that I have been messing with for a bit.
The patches start to flesh out the python llvm-c wrapper to the point where you can:
1. Load Modules from Bitcode/Dump/Print them.
2. Iterate over Functions from those modules/get their names/dump them.
3. Iterate over the BasicBlocks from said function/get the BB's name/dump it.
4. Iterate over the Instructions in said BasicBlocks/get the instructions
name/dump the instruction.
My main interest in developing this was to be able to gather statistics about
LLVM IR using python scripts to speed up statistical profiling of different IR
level transformations (hence the focus on printing/dumping/getting names).
This is a gift from me to the LLVM community = ).
I am going to be committing the patches slowly over the next bit as I have time
to prepare the patches.
The overall organization follows the c-api like the bindings that are already
implemented.

Re-submitting with fix for OCaml dependency problems (removing dependency on SectionMemoryManager when it isn't used).
Patch by Fili Pizlo

Before this fix, the LLVM Python bindings on SVN trunk always fail with:
Exception: LLVM shared library not found!
since it's still looking for a library named "LLVM-3.1svn".
Besides updating the LLVM version in the library name,
this patch also changes llvm.get_library() to make it possible to run
the unit tests without installing the LLVM shared library into a
default linker search path.
e.g. after this patch, running the llvm/python unit tests with:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../build/Debug+Asserts/lib nosetests -v bindings/python/llvm/tests/
would work on Linux.
Patch from Scott Tsai (with some minor modifications)

Adds /usr/lib/debug early to list, as some systems (debian) have unstripped libs in there
Adds /lib/i386-linux-gnu for systems that does multiarch (debian)

This requires a C++ change to EDDisassembler's ctor to function properly
(the llvm::InitializeAll* functions aren't being called currently and
there is no way to call them from Python).
Code is partially tested and works well enough for initial commit. There
are probably many small bugs.

This contains a semi-functional skeleton for the implementation of the
LLVM bindings for Python.
The API for the Object.h interface is roughly designed but not
implemented. MemoryBufferRef is implemented and actually appears to
work!
The ObjectFile unit test fails with a segmentation fault because the
LLVM library isn't being properly initialized. The build system doesn't
know about this code yet, so no alerts should fire.

1. Interface files (.mli) are installed before compiled interface
files (.cmi) to preserve timestamp relation.
2. install-meta should use $(OcamlDir) instead of $(ObjDir).
3. Declared some targets as .PHONY.
Patch by Christophe Raffalli.

OCaml's int is limited to 31 bits on 32-bit architectures, so use Int32
explicitly.
Also add an unpack_attr, and {function,param,instr}_attr functions to read
the attributes.

If we call only external functions from a module, then its 'let _' bindings
don't get executed, which means that the exceptions don't get registered for use
in the C code.
This in turn causes llvm_raise to call raise_with_arg() with a NULL pointer and
cause a segmentation fault.
The workaround is to declare all 'external' functions as 'val' in these .mli
files.
Also added a separate testcase (the testcase must call only external functions
for the bug to occur).

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.

This time it's for real! I am going to hook this up in the frontends as well.
The inliner has some experimental heuristics for dealing with the inline hint.
When given a -respect-inlinehint option, functions marked with the inline
keyword are given a threshold just above the default for -O3.
We need some experiments to determine if that is the right thing to do.
