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.
llvm-svn: 134829
Added support for address spaces and added a isVolatile field to memcpy, memmove, and memset,
e.g., llvm.memcpy.i32(i8*, i8*, i32, i32) -> llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8*, i8*, i32, i32, i1)

A update of langref will occur in a subsequent checkin.

This only rejects mismatches between target specific calling convention
and C/LLVM specific calling convention.
There are too many fastcc/C, coldcc/cc42 mismatches in the testsuite, these are
not reject by the verifier.

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.

don't fail when (expected) error output is produced. This fixes 17 tests.
While I was there, I also made all RUN lines of the form "not llvm-as..." a bit
more consistent, they now all redirect stderr and stdout to /dev/null and use
input redirect to read their input.

and bitcode support for the extractvalue and insertvalue
instructions and constant expressions.
Note that this does not yet include CodeGen support.
llvm-svn: 51468
test/Verifier/2002-11-05-GetelementptrPointers.ll, which was incorrect.
Instead, fix getIndexedType to not follow pointer types, as
PointerType is a subclass of CompositeType.
llvm-svn: 51171
llvm-upgrade because nobody noticed them failing.
Update to use new syntax and actually check for the right failure by looking at
the error message.

parameter, even if it is a varargs function. Do
allow attributes on the varargs part of a call,
but not beyond the last argument. Only allow
selected attributes to be on the varargs part of
a call (currently only 'byval' is allowed). The
reasoning here is that most attributes, eg inreg,
simply make no sense here.
llvm-svn: 45887
as on functions. Make it verify invokes and not just
ordinary calls. As a (desired) side-effect, it is no
longer legal to have call attributes on arguments that
are being passed to the varargs part of a varargs
function (llvm-as drops them on the floor anyway).

LLVM now enforces the following prototypes for the write barriers:
<ty>* @llvm.gcread(<ty2>*, <ty>**)
void @llvm.gcwrite(<ty>*, <ty2>*, <ty>**)
And for @llvm.gcroot, the first stack slot is verified to be an alloca or a
bitcast of an alloca.
Fixes test/CodeGen/Generic/GC/lower_gcroot.ll, which violated these.
llvm-svn: 42051
global variables that needed to be passed in. This makes it possible to
add new global variables with only a couple changes (Makefile and llvm-dg.exp)
instead of touching every single dg.exp file.
llvm-svn: 35918
Remove "target endian/pointersize" or add "target datalayout" to make
the test parse properly or set the datalayout because defaults changes.
For PR645:
Make global names use the @ prefix.
For llvm-upgrade changes:
Fix test cases or completely remove use of llvm-upgrade for test cases
that cannot survive the new renaming or upgrade capabilities.
