Bill Wendling b5f433b14d It's possible for two types, which are isomorphic, to be added to the
destination module, but one of them isn't used in the destination module. If
another module comes along and the uses the unused type, there could be type
conflicts when the modules are finally linked together. (This happened when
building LLVM.)

The test that was reduced is:

Module A:

%Z = type { %A }
%A = type { %B.1, [7 x x86_fp80] }
%B.1 = type { %C }
%C = type { i8* }

declare void @func_x(%C*, i64, i64)
declare void @func_z(%Z* nocapture)

Module B:

%B = type { %C.1 }
%C.1 = type { i8* }
%A.2 = type { %B.3, [5 x x86_fp80] }
%B.3 = type { %C.1 }

define void @func_z() {
  %x = alloca %A.2, align 16
  %y = getelementptr inbounds %A.2* %x, i64 0, i32 0, i32 0
  call void @func_x(%C.1* %y, i64 37, i64 927) nounwind
  ret void
}

declare void @func_x(%C.1*, i64, i64)
declare void @func_y(%B* nocapture)

(Unfortunately, this test doesn't fail under llvm-link, only during an LTO
linking.) The '%C' and '%C.1' clash. The destination module gets the '%C'
declaration. When merging Module B, it looks at the '%C.1' subtype of the '%B'
structure. It adds that in, because that's cool. And when '%B.3' is processed,
it uses the '%C.1'. But the '%B' has used '%C' and we prefer to use '%C'. So the
'@func_x' type is changed to 'void (%C*, i64, i64)', but the type of '%x' in
'@func_z' remains '%A.2'. The GEP resolves to a '%C.1', which conflicts with the
'@func_x' signature.

We can resolve this situation by making sure that the type is used in the
destination before saying that it should be used in the module being merged in.

With this fix, LLVM and Clang both compile under LTO.
