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.

of a base class.
This makes it possible to unregister the file from FilesToRemove when
the file is done. Also, this eliminates the need for
formatted_tool_output_file.

missing ones are libsupport, libsystem and libvmcore. libvmcore is
currently blocked on bugpoint, which uses EH. Once it stops using
EH, we can switch it off.
This #if 0's out 3 unit tests, because gtest requires RTTI information.
Suggestions welcome on how to fix this.

working. To support this, add an is_displayed() function to raw_ostream,
and generalize Process::StandardOutIsDisplayed and friends in order to
support it.
Also, call RemoveFileOnSignal before creating a file instead of after, so
that the file isn't left behind if the program is interrupted between when
the file is created and RemoveFileOnSignal is called.
While here, add a -S to llvm-extract and port it to IRReader so that it
supports assembly input.

This is conventional command-line tool behavior. -f now just means
"enable binary output on terminals".
Add a -f option to llvm-extract and llvm-link, for consistency.
Remove F_Force from raw_fd_ostream and enable overwriting and
truncating by default. Introduce an F_Excl flag to permit users to
enable a failure when the file already exists. This flag is
currently unused.
Update Makefiles and documentation accordingly.

instead of as two bools. Use this to add a F_Append flag
which has the obvious behavior.
Other unrelated changes conflated into this patch:
1. REmove EH stuff from llvm-dis and llvm-as, the try blocks
are dead.
2. Simplify the filename inference code in llvm-as/llvm-dis,
because raw_fd_ostream does the right thing with '-'.
3. Switch machine verifier to use raw_ostream instead of ostream
(Which is the thing that needed append in the first place).
llvm-svn: 79807
an existing file is considered an error. Convert several tools
to use raw_fd_ostream instead of std::ostream, and to use this
new option instead of doing a manual check.

api's look like this:
ModuleProvider *getBytecodeModuleProvider(
const std::string &Filename, ///< Name of file to be read
BCDecompressor_t *BCDC = Compressor::decompressToNewBuffer,
std::string* ErrMsg = 0, ///< Optional error message holder
BytecodeHandler* H = 0 ///< Optional handler for reader events
);
This is ugly, but allows a client to say:
getBytecodeModuleProvider("foo", 0);
If they do this, there is no dependency on the compression libraries, saving
codesize.

This patch replaces the SymbolTable class with ValueSymbolTable which does
not support types planes. This means that all symbol names in LLVM must now
be unique. The patch addresses the necessary changes to deal with this and
removes code no longer needed as a result. This completes the bulk of the
changes for this PR. Some cleanup patches will follow.
llvm-svn: 33918
1. New parameter attribute called 'inreg'. It has meaning "place this
parameter in registers, if possible". This is some generalization of
gcc's regparm(n) attribute. It's currently used only in X86-32 backend.
2. Completely rewritten CC handling/lowering code inside X86 backend.
Merged stdcall + c CCs and fastcall + fast CC.
3. Dropped CSRET CC. We cannot add struct return variant for each
target-specific CC (e.g. stdcall + csretcc and so on).
4. Instead of CSRET CC introduced 'sret' parameter attribute. Setting in
on first attribute has meaning 'This is hidden pointer to structure
return. Handle it gently'.
5. Fixed small bug in llvm-extract + add new feature to
FunctionExtraction pass, which relinks all internal-linkaged callees
from deleted function to external linkage. This will allow further
linking everything together.
NOTEs: 1. Documentation will be updated soon.
2. llvm-upgrade should be improved to translate csret => sret.
Before this, there will be some unexpected test fails.
llvm-svn: 33597
adding a temporary wrapper around the ostream to make it friendly to
functions expecting an LLVM stream. This should be fixed in the future.
