As a space optimization, this instruction would just encode the pointer
type of the first operand and use the knowledge that the second and
third operands would be of the pointee type of the first. When typed
pointers go away, this assumption will no longer be available - so
encode the type of the second operand explicitly and rely on that for
the third.
Test case added to demonstrate the backwards compatibility concern,
which only comes up when the definition of the second operand comes
after the use (hence the weird basic block sequence) - at which point
the type needs to be explicitly encoded in the bitcode and the record
length changes to accommodate this.

Without pointee types the space optimization of storing only the pointer
type and not the value type won't be viable - so add the extra type
information that would be missing.

Summary:
If a pointer is marked as dereferenceable_or_null(N), LLVM assumes it
is either `null` or `dereferenceable(N)` or both. This change only
introduces the attribute and adds a token test case for the `llvm-as`
/ `llvm-dis`. It does not hook up other parts of the optimizer to
actually exploit the attribute -- those changes will come later.
For pointers in address space 0, `dereferenceable(N)` is now exactly
equivalent to `dereferenceable_or_null(N)` && `nonnull`. For other
address spaces, `dereferenceable(N)` is potentially weaker than
`dereferenceable_or_null(N)` && `nonnull` (since we could have a null
`dereferenceable(N)` pointer).
The motivating case for this change is Java (and other managed
languages), where pointers are either `null` or dereferenceable up to
some usually known-at-compile-time constant offset.

Like r230414, add bitcode support including backwards compatibility, for
an explicit type parameter to GEP.
At the suggestion of Duncan I tried coalescing the two older bitcodes into a
single new bitcode, though I did hit a wrinkle: I couldn't figure out how to
create an explicit abbreviation for a record with a variable number of
arguments (the indicies to the gep). This means the discriminator between
inbounds and non-inbounds gep is a full variable-length field I believe? Is my
understanding correct? Is there a way to create such an abbreviation? Should I
just use two bitcodes as before?

This adds assembly and bitcode support for `MDLocation`. The assembly
side is rather big, since this is the first `MDNode` subclass (that
isn't `MDTuple`). Part of PR21433.
(If you're wondering where the mountains of testcase updates are, we
don't need them until I update `DILocation` and `DebugLoc` to actually
use this class.)
llvm-svn: 225830
This reverts commit r225498 (but leaves r225499, which was a worthy
cleanup).
My plan was to change `DEBUG_LOC` to store the `MDNode` directly rather
than its operands (patch was to go out this morning), but on reflection
it's not clear that it's strictly better. (I had missed that the
current code is unlikely to emit the `MDNode` at all.)

Propagate whether `MDNode`s are 'distinct' through the other types of IR
(assembly and bitcode). This adds the `distinct` keyword to assembly.
Currently, no one actually calls `MDNode::getDistinct()`, so these nodes
only get created for:
- self-references, which are never uniqued, and
- nodes whose operands are replaced that hit a uniquing collision.
The concept of distinct nodes is still not quite first-class, since
distinct-ness doesn't yet survive across `MapMetadata()`.
Part of PR22111.
llvm-svn: 225474
This reflects the typelessness of `Metadata` in the bitcode format,
removing types from all metadata operands.
`METADATA_VALUE` represents a `ValueAsMetadata`, and always has two
fields: the type and the value.
`METADATA_NODE` represents an `MDNode`, and unlike `METADATA_OLD_NODE`,
doesn't store types. It stores operands at their ID+1 so that `0` can
reference `nullptr` operands.
Part of PR21532.

Predict and serialize use-list order in bitcode. This makes the option
`-preserve-bc-use-list-order` work *most* of the time, but this is still
experimental.
- Builds a full value-table up front in the writer, sets up a list of
use-list orders to write out, and discards the table. This is a
simpler first step than determining the order from the various
overlapping IDs of values on-the-fly.
- The shuffles stored in the use-list order list have an unnecessarily
large memory footprint.
- `blockaddress` expressions cause functions to be materialized
out-of-order. For now I've ignored this problem, so use-list orders
will be wrong for constants used by functions that have block
addresses taken. There are a couple of ways to fix this, but I
don't have a concrete plan yet.
- When materializing functions lazily, the use-lists for constants
will not be correct. This use case is out of scope: what should the
use-list order be, if it's incomplete?
This is part of PR5680.

This attribute indicates that the parameter or return pointer is
dereferenceable. Practically speaking, loads from such a pointer within the
associated byte range are safe to speculatively execute. Such pointer
parameters are common in source languages (C++ references, for example).

This was an oversight in the original support. As it is, I stuffed this
bit into the alignment. The alignment is stored in log2 form, so it
doesn't need more than 5 bits, given that Value::MaximumAlignment is 1
<< 29.

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.

It includes a pass that rewrites all indirect calls to jumptable functions to pass through these tables.
This also adds backend support for generating the jump-instruction tables on ARM and X86.
Note that since the jumptable attribute creates a second function pointer for a
function, any function marked with jumptable must also be marked with unnamed_addr.

The inalloca attribute is designed to support passing C++ objects by
value in the Microsoft C++ ABI. It behaves the same as byval, except
that it always implies that the argument is in memory and that the bytes
are never copied. This attribute allows the caller to take the address
of an outgoing argument's memory and execute arbitrary code to store
into it.
This patch adds basic IR support, docs, and verification. It does not
attempt to implement any lowering or fix any possibly broken transforms.
When this patch lands, a complete description of this feature should
appear at http://llvm.org/docs/InAlloca.html .

The bitcode representation attribute kinds are encoded into / decoded from
should be independent of the current set of LLVM attributes and their position
in the AttrKind enum. This patch explicitly encodes attributes to fixed bitcode
values.
With this patch applied, LLVM does not silently misread attributes written by
LLVM 3.3. We also enhance the decoding slightly such that an error message is
printed if an unknown AttrKind encoding was dected.
Bonus: Dropping bitcode attributes from AttrKind is now easy, as old AttrKinds
do not need to be kept to support the Bitcode reader.

Rename the PARAMATTR_CODE_ENTRY to PARAMATTR_CODE_ENTRY_OLD. It will be replaced
