This file lists every pass in LLVM, and is included by Pass.h, which is
very popular. Every time we add, remove, or rename a pass in LLVM, it
caused lots of recompilation.
I found this fact by looking at this table, which is sorted by the
number of times a file was changed over the last 100,000 git commits
multiplied by the number of object files that depend on it in the
current checkout:

Before this change, touching InitializePasses.h would cause 1345 files
to recompile. After this change, touching it only causes 550 compiles in
an incremental rebuild.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

At least on ELF, it's impossible to tell from the object file whether
two globals with the same section marking were merged: the merged global
uses "private" linkage to hide its symbol, and the aliases look like
regular symbols. I can't think of any other reason to disallow it.
(Of course, we can only merge globals in the same section.)
The weird alignment handling matches AsmPrinter; our alignment handling
for global variables should probably be refactored.

If no alignment is set, the abi/preferred alignment of structs will be
used which may be higher than required. This can lead to extra padding
and in the end an increase in data size.

The DEBUG() macro is very generic so it might clash with other projects.
The renaming was done as follows:
- git grep -l 'DEBUG' | xargs sed -i 's/\bDEBUG\s\?(/LLVM_DEBUG(/g'
- git diff -U0 master | ../clang/tools/clang-format/clang-format-diff.py -i -p1 -style LLVM
- Manual change to APInt
- Manually chage DOCS as regex doesn't match it.
In the transition period the DEBUG() macro is still present and aliased
to the LLVM_DEBUG() one.

We've been running doxygen with the autobrief option for a couple of

encourage more \brief markers in new code either, this patch removes
them all.

This patch provides a means to specify section-names for global variables,
functions and static variables, using #pragma directives.
This feature is only defined to work sensibly for ELF targets.
One can specify section names as:
#pragma clang section bss="myBSS" data="myData" rodata="myRodata" text="myText"
One can "unspecify" a section name with empty string e.g.
#pragma clang section bss="" data="" text="" rodata=""

This is a partial revert of r244615 (http://reviews.llvm.org/D11942),
which caused a major regression in debug info quality.
Turning the artificial __MergedGlobal symbols into private symbols
(l__MergedGlobal) means that the linker will not include them in the
symbol table of the final executable. Without a symbol table entry
dsymutil is not be able to process the debug info for any of the
merged globals and thus drops the debug info for all of them.
This patch is enabling the old behavior for all MachO targets while
leaving all other targets unaffected.

This was a flawed change - it just caused the getElementType call to be
deferred until later, when we really need to remove it. Now that the IR
for GlobalAliases has been updated, the root cause is addressed that way
instead and this change is no longer needed (and in fact gets in the way
- because we want to pass the pointee type directly down further).
Follow up patches to push this through GlobalValue, bitcode format, etc,
will come along soon.
This reverts commit 236160.

On Mach-O emitting aliases for the variables that make up a MergedGlobals
variable can cause problems when linking with dead stripping enabled so don't
do that, except for external variables where we must emit an alias.
llvm-svn: 244748
Other objects can never reference the MergedGlobals symbol so external linkage
is never needed. Using private instead of internal linkage means the object is
more similar to what it looks like when global merging is not enabled, with
the only difference being that the merged variables are addressed indirectly
relative to the start of the section they are in.
Also add aliases for merged variables with internal linkage, as this also makes
the object be more like what it is when they are not merged.

The global-merge pass was crashing because it assumes that all ConstantExprs
(reached via the global variables that they use) have at least one user.
I haven't worked out a way to test this, as an unused ConstantExpr cannot be
represented by serialised IR, and global-merge can only be run in llc, which
does not run any passes which can make a ConstantExpr dead.
This (reduced to the point of silliness) C code triggers this bug when compiled
for arm-none-eabi at -O1:
static a = 7;
static volatile b[10] = {&a};
c;
main() {
c = 0;
for (; c < 10;)
printf(b[c]);
}

Now that we can look at users, we can trivially do this: when we would
have otherwise disabled GlobalMerge (currently -O<3), we can just run
it for minsize functions, as it's usually a codesize win.

Many of the callers already have the pointer type anyway, and for the
couple of callers that don't it's pretty easy to call PointerType::get
on the pointee type and address space.
This avoids LLParser from using PointerType::getElementType when parsing
GlobalAliases from IR.
llvm-svn: 236160
Instead of merging everything together, look at the users of
GlobalVariables, and try to group them by function, to create
sets of globals used "together".
Using that information, a less-aggressive alternative is to keep merging
everything together *except* globals that are only ever used alone, that
is, those for which it's clearly non-profitable to merge with others.
In my testing, grouping by Function is too aggressive, but grouping by
BasicBlock is too conservative. Anything in-between isn't trivially
available, so stick with Function grouping for now.
cl::opts are added for testing; both enabled by default.
A few of the testcases aren't testing the merging proper, but just
various edge cases when merging does occur. Update them to use the
previous grouping behavior. Also, one of the tests is unrelated to
GlobalMerge; change it accordingly.
While there, switch to r234666' flags rather than the brutal -O3.

Currently, there's a single flag, checked by the pass itself.
It can't force-enable the pass (and is on by default), because it
might not even have been created, as that's the targets decision.
Instead, have separate explicit flags, so that the decision is
consistently made in the target.
Keep the flag as a last-resort "force-disable GlobalMerge" for now,
for backwards compatibility.
