of apint codegen failure is the DAG combiner doing
the wrong thing because it was comparing MVT's using
< rather than comparing the number of bits. Removing
the < method makes this mistake impossible to commit.
Instead, add helper methods for comparing bits and use
them.

and better control the abstraction. Rename the type
to MVT. To update out-of-tree patches, the main
thing to do is to rename MVT::ValueType to MVT, and
rewrite expressions like MVT::getSizeInBits(VT) in
the form VT.getSizeInBits(). Use VT.getSimpleVT()
to extract a MVT::SimpleValueType for use in switch
statements (you will get an assert failure if VT is
an extended value type - these shouldn't exist after
type legalization).
This results in a small speedup of codegen and no
new testsuite failures (x86-64 linux).

are the same as in unpacked structs, only field
positions differ. This only matters for structs
containing x86 long double or an apint; it may
cause backwards compatibility problems if someone
has bitcode containing a packed struct with a
field of one of those types.
The issue is that only 10 bytes are needed to
hold an x86 long double: the store size is 10
bytes, but the ABI size is 12 or 16 bytes (linux/
darwin) which comes from rounding the store size
up by the alignment. Because it seemed silly not
to pack an x86 long double into 10 bytes in a
packed struct, this is what was done. I now
think this was a mistake. Reserving the ABI size
for an x86 long double field even in a packed
struct makes things more uniform: the ABI size is
now always used when reserving space for a type.
This means that developers are less likely to
make mistakes. It also makes life easier for the
CBE which otherwise could not represent all LLVM
packed structs (PR2402).
Front-end people might need to adjust the way
they create LLVM structs - see following change
to llvm-gcc.

ComputeNumSignBits about the number of sign bits in a constantint.

insertvalue and extractvalue to use constant indices instead of
Value* indices. And begin updating LangRef.html.
There's definately more to come here, but I'm checking this
basic support in now to make it available to people who are
interested.

instruction to execute. This can be used for transformations (like two-address
conversion) to remat an instruction instead of generating a "move"
instruction. The idea is to decrease the live ranges and register pressure and
all that jazz.

the section or the visibility from one global
value to another: copyAttributesFrom. This is
particularly useful for duplicating functions:
previously this was done by explicitly copying
each attribute in turn at each place where a
new function was created out of an old one, with
the result that obscure attributes were regularly
forgotten (like the collector or the section).
Hopefully now everything is uniform and nothing
is forgotten.

Analysis/ConstantFolding to fold ConstantExpr's, then make instcombine use it
to try to use targetdata to fold constant expressions on void instructions.
Also extend the icmp(inttoptr, inttoptr) folding to handle the case where
int size != ptr size.
