llvm-mirror/include/llvm/System/Memory.h
Reid Spencer 10b9edbb69 For PR780:
1. Move IncludeFile.h to System library
2. Move IncludeFile.cpp to System library
3. #1 and #2 required to prevent cyclic library dependencies for libSystem
4. Convert all existing uses of Support/IncludeFile.h to System/IncludeFile.h
5. Add IncludeFile support to various lib/System classes.
6. Add new lib/System classes to LinkAllVMCore.h
All this in an attempt to pull in lib/System to what's required for VMCore
