This fixes a bug where DW_AT_abstract_origin is being emitted twice for

translation unit, by restoring the pre-r266446 behavior.

Summary:
This adds a unique ID to the COFF section uniquing map, similar to the
one we have for ELF. The unique id is not currently exposed via the
assembler because we don't have a use case for it yet. Users generally
create .pdata with the .seh_* family of directives, and the assembler
internally needs to produce .pdata and .xdata sections corresponding to
the code section.
The association between .text sections and the assembler-created .xdata
and .pdata sections is maintained as an ID field of MCSectionCOFF. The
CFI-related sections are created with the given unique ID, so if more
code is added to the same text section, we can find and reuse the CFI
sections that were already created.

The DWARF2 specification of DW_AT_bit_offset is ambiguous for
little-endian machines, but by restoring to the old behavior
we match what debuggers expect and what other popular compilers
generate.
llvm-svn: 267896
The DWARF2 specification of DW_AT_bit_offset was written from the perspective of
a big-endian machine with unclear semantics for other systems. DWARF4
deprecated DW_AT_bit_offset and introduced a new attribute DW_AT_data_bit_offset
that simply counts the number of bits from the beginning of the containing
entity regardless of endianness.
After this patch LLVM emits DW_AT_bit_offset for DWARF 2 or 3 and
DW_AT_data_bit_offset when DWARF 4 or later is requested.

Eliminate DITypeIdentifierMap and make DITypeRef a thin wrapper around
DIType*. It is no longer legal to refer to a DICompositeType by its
'identifier:', and DIBuilder no longer retains all types with an
'identifier:' automatically.
Aside from the bitcode upgrade, this is mainly removing logic to resolve
an MDString-based reference to an actualy DIType. The commits leading
up to this have made the implicit type map in DICompileUnit's
'retainedTypes:' field superfluous.
This does not remove DITypeRef, DIScopeRef, DINodeRef, and
DITypeRefArray, or stop using them in DI-related metadata. Although as
of this commit they aren't serving a useful purpose, there are patchces
under review to reuse them for CodeView support.

Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.

that updates LLVM IR testcases to the new format.

This patch drops the debug info for all DISubprograms that are
(a) not attached to an llvm::Function and
(b) not indirectly reachable via inline scopes from any surviving Function and
(c) not reachable from a type (i.e.: member functions).
Background: I'm currently working on a patch to reverse the pointers
between DICompileUnit and DISubprogram (for more info check Duncan's RFC
on lazy-loading of debug info metadata
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-March/097419.html).
The idea is to remove the list of subprograms from DICompileUnit and
instead point to the owning compile unit from each DISubprogram.
After doing this all DISubprograms fulfilling the above criteria will be
implicitly dropped unless we go through an extra effort to preserve them.

When multiple DWP files are merged together and duplicate DWO IDs are

When no intermediate DWP files are generated, the path to the two DWO

This patch adds support for the MachO .alt_entry assembly directive, and uses
it for global aliases with non-zero GEP offsets. The alt_entry flag indicates
that a symbol should be layed out immediately after the preceding symbol.
Conceptually it introduces an alternate entry point for a function or data
structure. E.g.:
safe_foo:
// check preconditions for foo
.alt_entry fast_foo
fast_foo:
// body of foo, can assume preconditions.
The .alt_entry flag is also implicitly set on assembly aliases of the form:
a = b + C
where C is a non-zero constant, since these have the same effect as an
alt_entry symbol: they introduce a label that cannot be moved relative to the
preceding one. Setting the alt_entry flag on aliases of this form fixes

Fundamentally, the length of a variable or function name is bound by the
maximum size of a record: 0xffff. However, the name doesn't live in a
vacuum; other data is associated with the name, lowering the bound
further.
We would naively attempt to emit the name, causing us to assert because
the record would no-longer fit in 16-bits. Instead, truncate the name
but preserve as much as we can.
While I have tested this locally, I've decided to not commit it due to
the test's size.
N.B. While this behavior is undesirable, it is better than MSVC's

The CatchObjOffset is relative to the end of the EH registration node

indicate that no catch object should be initialized.
This means that a catch object allocated immediately before the
registration node would be assigned a CatchObjOffset of 0, leading the

To handle this, allocate the registration node prior to any other frame

COFF doesn't have sections with mergeable contents. Instead, each
constant pool entry ends up in a COMDAT section. The linker, when
choosing between COMDAT sections, doesn't choose the max alignment of
the two sections. You just get whatever alignment was on the section.
If one constant needed a higher alignment in one object file from
another one, then we will get into trouble if the linker chooses the
lower alignment one.

sure we don't use an under aligned constant with an instruction which

Adds a new family of .cv_* directives to LLVM's variant of GAS syntax:
- .cv_file: Similar to DWARF .file directives
- .cv_loc: Similar to the DWARF .loc directive, but starts with a
function id. CodeView line tables are emitted by function instead of
by compilation unit, so we needed an extra field to communicate this.
Rather than overloading the .loc direction further, we decided it was
better to have our own directive.
- .cv_stringtable: Emits the codeview string table at the current
position. Currently this just contains the filenames as
null-terminated strings.
- .cv_filechecksums: Emits the file checksum table for all files used
with .cv_file so far. There is currently no support for emitting
actual checksums, just filenames.
This moves the line table emission code down into the assembler. This

the absolute code offsets, so it must run after the assembler has laid

Summary:
Fix the CLR state numbering to generate correct tables, and update the lit
test to verify them.
The CLR numbering assigns one state number to each catchpad and
cleanuppad.
It also computes two tree-like relations over states:
1) Each state has a "HandlerParentState", which is the state of the next
outer handler enclosing this state's handler (same as nearest ancestor
per the ParentPad linkage on EH pads, but skipping over catchswitches).
2) Each state has a "TryParentState", which:
a) for a catchpad that's not the last handler on its catchswitch, is
the state of the next catchpad on that catchswitch.
b) for all other pads, is the state of the pad whose try region is the
next outer try region enclosing this state's try region. The "try
regions are not present as such in the IR, but will be inferred
based on the placement of invokes and pads which reach each other
by exceptional exits.
Catchswitches do not get their own states, but each gets mapped to the
state of its first catchpad.
Table generation requires each state's "unwind dest" state to have a lower
state number than the given state.
Since HandlerParentState can be computed as a function of a pad's
ParentPad, and TryParentState can be computed as a function of its unwind
dest and the TryParentStates of its children, the CLR state numbering
algorithm first computes HandlerParentState in a top-down pass, then
computes TryParentState in a bottom-up pass.
Also reword some comments/names in the CLR EH table generation to make the
distinction between the different kinds of "parent" clear.

able to get rid of the alloca). Further, now that that's cleaned up, we
can remove a hack in the backend, that would add an implicit OP_deref if
the argument to dbg.value was an alloca. This stems from before the
existence of DIExpression and is no longer necessary since the deref can
be expressed explicitly.
Now, in order to make sure that the tests pass with this change, we need to
correct the printing of DEBUG_VALUE comments to take into account the
expression, which wasn't taken into account before.

test cases (mostly the wrong number of DW_OP_derefs, but also a couple
where the test itself was broken more badly). aprantl and I have gone

While we have successfully implemented a funclet-oriented EH scheme on
top of LLVM IR, our scheme has some notable deficiencies:
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are necessary in the current design
but they are difficult to explain to others, even to seasoned LLVM
experts.
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are optimization barriers. They cannot
be split and force all potentially throwing call-sites to be invokes.
This has a noticable effect on the quality of our code generation.
- catchpad, while similar in some aspects to invoke, is fairly awkward.
It is unsplittable, starts a funclet, and has control flow to other
funclets.
- The nesting relationship between funclets is currently a property of
control flow edges. Because of this, we are forced to carefully
analyze the flow graph to see if there might potentially exist illegal
nesting among funclets. While we have logic to clone funclets when
they are illegally nested, it would be nicer if we had a
representation which forbade them upfront.
Let's clean this up a bit by doing the following:
- Instead, make catchpad more like cleanuppad and landingpad: no control
flow, just a bunch of simple operands; catchpad would be splittable.
- Introduce catchswitch, a control flow instruction designed to model
the constraints of funclet oriented EH.
- Make funclet scoping explicit by having funclet instructions consume
the token produced by the funclet which contains them.
- Remove catchendpad and cleanupendpad. Their presence can be inferred
implicitly using coloring information.
N.B. The state numbering code for the CLR has been updated but the
veracity of it's output cannot be spoken for. An expert should take a
look to make sure the results are reasonable.

It's strange to duplicate the logic for emitting FP values into
emitGlobalConstantDataSequential, and it's even stranger that we end
up printing the verbose assembly comments differently between the two
paths. Just call into emitGlobalConstantFP rather than crudely
duplicating its logic.

CFI emits jump slots for indirect functions as a byte array
constant, and declares function-typed aliases to these constants.
This change fixes AsmPrinter to emit these aliases as function
symbols and not data symbols.
