the argument to be stored to an alloca by tracking uses
of the alloca. This occurs 4 times (out of 7121, 0.05%)
in MultiSource/Applications, so may not be worth it. On
the other hand, it is easy to do and fairly cheap. The
functions it helps are: W_addcom and W_addlit in spiff;
process_args (argv) in d (make_dparser); ercPixConcealIMB
in JM/ldecod.

and clean recursive descent parser.
This change has a couple of ramifications:
1. The parser code is about 400 lines shorter (in what we maintain, not
including what is autogenerated).
2. The code should be significantly faster than the old code because we
don't have to work around bison's poor handling of datatypes with
ctors/dtors. This also makes the code much more resistant to memory
leaks.
3. We now get caret diagnostics from the .ll parser, woo.
4. The actual diagnostics emited from the parser are completely different
so a bunch of testcases had to be updated.
5. I now disallow "%ty = type opaque %ty = type i32". There was no good
reason to support this, it was just an accident of the old
implementation. I have no reason to think that anyone is actually using
this.
6. The syntax for sticking a global variable has changed to make it
unambiguous. I don't think anyone is depending on this since only clang
supports this and it is not solid yet, so I'm not worried about anything
breaking.
7. This gets rid of the last use of bison, and along with it the .cvs files.
I'll prune this from the makefiles as a subsequent commit.
There are a few minor cleanups that can be done after this commit (suggestions
welcome!) but this passes dejagnu testing and is ready for its time in the
limelight.

functions that don't write can't leak a pointer except through
the return value, so a void readonly function is implicitly nocapture.
Test these, and add a test that verifies that f1 calling f2 with an
otherwise dead pointer gets both of them marked nocapture.

arguments (pointer arguments only) are only dereferenced
and so do not escape. Mark such arguments 'nocapture'.

constants, since doing so is irrelevant for aliasing
purposes. While this doesn't increase the total number
of functions marked readonly or readnone in MultiSource/
Applications (3089), it does result in 12 functions being
marked readnone rather than readonly.

readnone: 820

nodes. This allows it to do fairly general phi insertion if a
load from a pointer global wants to be SRAd but the load is used
by (recursive) phi nodes. This fixes a pessimization on ppc
introduced by Load PRE.

consistently for deleting branches. In addition to being slightly
more readable, this makes SimplifyCFG a bit better
about cleaning up after itself when it makes conditions unused.

visited set before they are used. If used, their blocks need to be
added to the visited set so that subsequent queries don't use conflicting
pointer values in the cache result blocks.

cleans up the generated code a bit. This should have the added benefit of
not randomly renaming functions/globals like my previous patch did. :)
llvm-svn: 61023
memdep keeps track of how PHIs affect the pointer in dep queries, which
allows it to eliminate the load in cases like rle-phi-translate.ll, which
basically end up being:
BB1:
X = load P
br BB3
BB2:
Y = load Q
br BB3
BB3:
R = phi [P] [Q]
load R
turning "load R" into a phi of X/Y. In addition to additional exposed
opportunities, this makes memdep safe in many cases that it wasn't before
(which is required for load PRE) and also makes it substantially more
efficient. For example, consider:
bb1: // has many predecessors.
P = some_operator()
load P
In this example, previously memdep would scan all the predecessors of BB1
to see if they had something that would mustalias P. In some cases (e.g.
test/Transforms/GVN/rle-must-alias.ll) it would actually find them and end
up eliminating something. In many other cases though, it would scan and not
find anything useful. MemDep now stops at a block if the pointer is defined
in that block and cannot be phi translated to predecessors. This causes it
to miss the (rare) cases like rle-must-alias.ll, but makes it faster by not
scanning tons of stuff that is unlikely to be useful. For example, this
speeds up GVN as a whole from 3.928s to 2.448s (60%)!. IMO, scalar GVN
should be enhanced to simplify the rle-must-alias pointer base anyway, which
would allow the loads to be eliminated.
In the future, this should be enhanced to phi translate through geps and
bitcasts as well (as indicated by FIXMEs) making memdep even more powerful.

tricks based on readnone/readonly functions.
Teach memdep to look past readonly calls when analyzing
deps for a readonly call. This allows elimination of a
few more calls from 403.gcc:
before:
63 gvn - Number of instructions PRE'd
153986 gvn - Number of instructions deleted
50069 gvn - Number of loads deleted
after:
63 gvn - Number of instructions PRE'd
153991 gvn - Number of instructions deleted
50069 gvn - Number of loads deleted
5 calls isn't much, but this adds plumbing for the next change.

doesn't do its own local caching, and is slightly more aggressive about
free/store dse (see testcase). This eliminates the last external client
of MemDep::getDependenceFrom().

This fixes many bugs. I will add more test cases in a separate check-in.

1) have it fold "br undef", which does occur with
surprising frequency as jump threading iterates.
2) teach j-t to delete dead blocks. This removes the successor
edges, reducing the in-edges of other blocks, allowing
recursive simplification.
3) Fold things like:
br COND, BBX, BBY
BBX:
br COND, BBZ, BBW
which also happens because jump threading iterates.

straight-forward implementation. This does not require any extra
alias analysis queries beyond what we already do for non-local loads.
Some programs really really like load PRE. For example, SPASS triggers
this ~1000 times, ~300 times in 255.vortex, and ~1500 times on 403.gcc.
The biggest limitation to the implementation is that it does not split
critical edges. This is a huge killer on many programs and should be
addressed after the initial patch is enabled by default.
The implementation of this should incidentally speed up rejection of
non-local loads because it avoids creating the repl densemap in cases
when it won't be used for fully redundant loads.
This is currently disabled by default.
Before I turn this on, I need to fix a couple of miscompilations in
the testsuite, look at compile time performance numbers, and look at
perf impact. This is pretty close to ready though.
