2009-03-07Introduce new linkage types linkonce_odr, weak_odr, common_odrDuncan Sands
and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions, except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently. This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since the definition could be replaced by something completely different at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR (One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original function. If a language knows that a function or other global can only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage to the same thing. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@66339 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2008-12-19Resubmit support for the 'nocapture' attribute.Nick Lewycky
The problematic part of this patch is that we were out of attribute bits, requiring some fancy bit hacking to make it fit (by shrinking alignment) without breaking existing users or the file format. This change will require users to rebuild llvm-gcc to match llvm. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@61239 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

builds. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@61094 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2008-12-15Introducing nocapture, a parameter attribute for pointers to indicate that theNick Lewycky
callee will not introduce any new aliases of that pointer. The attributes had all bits allocated already, so I decided to collapse alignment. Alignment was previously stored as a 16-bit integer from bits 16 to 32 of the attribute, but it was required to be a power of 2. Now it's stored in log2 encoded form in five bits from 16 to 21. That gives us 11 more bits of space. You may have already noticed that you only need four bits to encode a 16-bit power of two, so why five bits? Because the AsmParser accepted 32-bit alignments, even though we couldn't store them (they were silently discarded). Now we can store them in memory, but not in the bitcode. The bitcode format was already storing these as 64-bit VBR integers. So, the bitcode format stays the same, keeping the alignment values stored as 16 bit raw values. There's some hideous code in the reader and writer that deals with this, waiting to be ripped out the moment we run out of bits again and have to replace the parameter attributes table encoding. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@61019 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2008-11-24Seriously strengthen the guarantee offered by noalias on a function's returnNick Lewycky
value. It must now be as if the pointer were allocated and has not escaped to the caller. Thanks to Dan Gohman for pointing out the error in the original and helping devise this definition. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@59940 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2008-11-24Extend the 'noalias' attribute to function return values. This is intended toNick Lewycky
