These functions are about classifying a global which will actually be
emitted, so it does not make sense for them to take a GlobalValue which may
for example be an alias.
Change the Mach-O object writer and the Hexagon, Lanai and MIPS backends to
look through aliases before using TargetLoweringObjectFile interfaces. These
are functional changes but all appear to be bug fixes.

Summary: This reverts the changes to Globals.cpp and IRMover.cpp in
"[IR] Copy comdats in GlobalObject::copyAttributesFrom" (D20631,
rL270743).
The DeadArgElim test is left unchanged, and we change DAE to explicitly
copy comdats.
The reverted change breaks copyAttributesFrom when the destination lives
in a different module from the source. The decision in D21255 was to
revert this patch and handle comdat copying separately from
copyAttributesFrom.

If a local_unnamed_addr attribute is attached to a global, the address
is known to be insignificant within the module. It is distinct from the
existing unnamed_addr attribute in that it only describes a local property
of the module rather than a global property of the symbol.
This attribute is intended to be used by the code generator and LTO to allow
the linker to decide whether the global needs to be in the symbol table. It is
possible to exclude a global from the symbol table if three things are true:
- This attribute is present on every instance of the global (which means that
the normal rule that the global must have a unique address can be broken without
being observable by the program by performing comparisons against the global's
address)
- The global has linkonce_odr linkage (which means that each linkage unit must have
its own copy of the global if it requires one, and the copy in each linkage unit
must be the same)
- It is a constant or a function (which means that the program cannot observe that
the unique-address rule has been broken by writing to the global)
Although this attribute could in principle be computed from the module
contents, LTO clients (i.e. linkers) will normally need to be able to compute
this property as part of symbol resolution, and it would be inefficient to
materialize every module just to compute it.

With ELF, the alignment of a global variable in a shared library will
get copied into an executables linked against it, if the executable even
accesss the variable. So, it's not possible to implicitly increase
alignment based on access patterns, or you'll break existing binaries.
This happened to affect libc++'s std::cout symbol, for example. See

Stop converting implicitly between iterators and pointers/references in
lib/IR. For convenience, I've added a `getIterator()` accessor to
`ilist_node` so that callers don't need to know how to spell the
iterator class (i.e., they can use `X.getIterator()` instead of
`Function::iterator(X)`).
I'll eventually disallow these implicit conversions entirely, but
there's a lot of code, so it doesn't make sense to do it all in one
patch. One library or so at a time.
Why? To root out cases of `getNextNode()` and `getPrevNode()` being
used in iterator logic. The design of `ilist` makes that invalid when
the current node could be at the back of the list, but it happens to
"work" right now because of a bug where those functions never return
`nullptr` if you're using a half-node sentinel. Before I can fix the
function, I have to remove uses of it that rely on it misbehaving.
(Maybe the function should just be deleted anyway? But I don't want
deleting it -- potentially a huge project -- to block fixing
ilist/iplist.)

This is needed by all GlobalObjects (GlobalAlias, Function,
GlobalVariable), see the GlobalObject::getValueType which is used in
many places. If at some point that can be removed, then we can remove
this member.
llvm-svn: 247621
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.

This is part of the work to devirtualize Value.
The old pattern was to call replaceUsesOfWithOnConstant which was overridden by
subclasses. Those could then call replaceUsesOfWithOnConstantImpl on Constant
to handle deleting the current value.
To be consistent with other parts of the code, this has been changed so that we
call the method on Constant, and that dispatches to an Impl on subclasses.
As part of this, it made sense to rename the methods to be more descriptive. The
new name is Constant::handleOperandChange, and it requires that all subclasses of
Constant implement handleOperandChangeImpl, even if they just throw an error if
they shouldn't be called.

The only caller of this method is Value::replaceAllUsesWith which
explicitly checks that we are not a GlobalValue. So replace the
body with an unreachable to ensure that we never call it.
The unreachable itself is moved to GlobalValue not GlobalVariable
as that is the base class of all the globals we don't want to call
this method on.
Note, this patch is short lived as i'll soon refactor all callers
of this method.

This reorganizes destroyConstant and destroyConstantImpl.
Now there is only destroyConstant in Constant itself, while
subclasses are required to implement destroyConstantImpl.
destroyConstantImpl no longer calls delete but is instead only
responsible for removing the constant from any maps in which it
is contained.

This is to try make it very clear that subclasses shouldn't be changing
the value directly. Now that OperandList for normal instructions is computed
using the NumOperands, its critical that the NumOperands is accurate or we
could compute the wrong offset to the first operand.
I looked over all places which update NumOperands and they are all safe.
Hung off use User's don't use NumOperands to compute the OperandList so they
are safe to continue to manipulate it. The only other User which changed it
was GlobalVariable which has an optional init list but always allocated space
for a single Use. It was correctly setting NumOperands to 1 before setting an
initializer, and setting it to 0 after clearing the init list, so the order was safe.
Added some comments to that code to make sure that this isn't changed in future
without being aware of this constraint.

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

To do this, change the representation of lazy loaded functions.
The previous representation cannot differentiate between a function whose body
has been removed and one whose body hasn't been read from the .bc file. That

This new IR facility allows us to represent the object-file semantic of
a COMDAT group.
COMDATs allow us to tie together sections and make the inclusion of one
dependent on another. This is required to implement features like MS
ABI VFTables and optimizing away certain kinds of initialization in C++.
This functionality is only representable in COFF and ELF, Mach-O has no

This patch changes GlobalAlias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr and it is
up to MC (or the system assembler) to decide if that expression is valid or not.
This reduces our ability to diagnose invalid uses and how early we can spot
them, but it also lets us do things like
@test5 = alias inttoptr(i32 sub (i32 ptrtoint (i32* @test2 to i32),
i32 ptrtoint (i32* @bar to i32)) to i32*)
An important implication of this patch is that the notion of aliased global
doesn't exist any more. The alias has to encode the information needed to
access it in its metadata (linkage, visibility, type, etc).
Another consequence to notice is that getSection has to return a "const char *".
It could return a NullTerminatedStringRef if there was such a thing, but when
that was proposed the decision was to just uses "const char*" for that.
llvm-svn: 210062
This matches gcc's behavior. It also seems natural given that aliases
contain other properties that govern how it is accessed (linkage,
visibility, dll storage).
Clang still has to be updated to expose this feature to C.
llvm-svn: 209759
This patch changes the design of GlobalAlias so that it doesn't take a
ConstantExpr anymore. It now points directly to a GlobalObject, but its type is
independent of the aliasee type.
To avoid changing all alias related tests in this patches, I kept the common
syntax
@foo = alias i32* @bar
to mean the same as now. The cases that used to use cast now use the more
general syntax
@foo = alias i16, i32* @bar.
Note that GlobalAlias now behaves a bit more like GlobalVariable. We
know that its type is always a pointer, so we omit the '*'.
For the bitcode, a nice surprise is that we were writing both identical types
already, so the format change is minimal. Auto upgrade is handled by looking
through the casts and no new fields are needed for now. New bitcode will
simply have different types for Alias and Aliasee.
One last interesting point in the patch is that replaceAllUsesWith becomes
smart enough to avoid putting a ConstantExpr in the aliasee. This seems better
than checking and updating every caller.
A followup patch will delete getAliasedGlobal now that it is redundant. Another
patch will add support for an explicit offset.

This reverts commit r208934.

This commit implements two command line switches -global-merge-on-external

For ARM64, some back-end behaviors need to be tuned to get this optimization
further enabled.
llvm-svn: 208934
This allows code to statically accept a Function or a GlobalVariable, but
not an alias. This is already a cleanup by itself IMHO, but the main
reason for it is that it gives a lot more confidence that the refactoring to fix
the design of GlobalAlias is correct. That will be a followup patch.
