This format is simply a regular object file with the bitcode stored in a
section named ".llvmbc", plus any number of other (non-allocated) sections.
One immediate use case for this is to accommodate compilation processes
which expect the object file to contain metadata in non-allocated sections,
such as the ".go_export" section used by some Go compilers [1], although I
imagine that in the future we could consider compiling parts of the module
(such as large non-inlinable functions) directly into the object file to
improve LTO efficiency.

They were used in the 'Module Structure' example but weren't otherwise
documented.
Credit to Reed Kotler for noticing.

I've been assuming chain operands were always the first operand,
since the documentation says this. I was confused about why they
were missing after instruction selection. Apparently the convention
changes to using the last operand for MachineSDNodes and I've never
noticed before.

Summary:
There is no functionality change here except in the way we assemble and
dump musttail calls in variadic functions. There's really no need to
separate out the bits for musttail and "is forwarding varargs" on call
instructions. A musttail call by definition has to forward the ellipsis
or it would fail verification.

Somewhat unnoticed in the original implementation of discriminators, but
it could cause instructions to end up in new, small,
DW_TAG_lexical_blocks due to the use of DILexicalBlock to track
discriminator changes.
Instead, use DILexicalBlockFile which we already use to track file
changes without introducing new scopes, so it works well to track
discriminator changes in the same way.

Implement `uselistorder` and `uselistorder_bb` assembly directives,
which allow the use-list order to be recovered when round-tripping to
assembly.
This is the bulk of PR20515.

I should have included this as part of r215986, which worked around this
corner by changing ArrayRef::equals() not to use std::equal. Alas.

I am sure we will be finding bits and pieces of dead code for years to
come, but this is a good start.
Thanks to Lang Hames for making MCJIT a good replacement!

Summary:
This patch add a --show-xfail flag. If this flag is specified then each xfail test will be printed to output.
When it is not given xfail tests are ignored. Ignoring xfail tests is the current behavior.
This flag is meant to mirror the --show-unsupported flag that was recently added.

variables (for example, by-value struct arguments passed in registers, or
large integer values split across several smaller registers).
On the IR level, this adds a new type of complex address operation OpPiece
to DIVariable that describes size and offset of a variable fragment.
On the DWARF emitter level, all pieces describing the same variable are
collected, sorted and emitted as DWARF expressions using the DW_OP_piece
and DW_OP_bit_piece operators.

What this patch doesn't do / Future work:
- This patch only adds the backend machinery to make this work, patches
that change SROA and SelectionDAG's type legalizer to actually create
such debug info will follow. (http://reviews.llvm.org/D2680)
- Making the DIVariable complex expressions into an argument of dbg.value
will reduce the memory footprint of the debug metadata.
- The sorting/uniquing of pieces should be moved into DebugLocEntry,
to facilitate the merging of multi-piece entries.

Users keep emailing us about the difficulties of getting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
into their environment, which should be completely unecessary. Try to
strengthen the rpath recommentation by putting in an example cmake
invocation.
Speaking of which, we might want to make CMake the recommended build
system in GettingStarted.html.

Before this patch we had
@a = weak global ...
but
@b = alias weak ...
The patch changes aliases to look more like global variables.
Looking at some really old code suggests that the reason was that the old
bison based parser had a reduction for alias linkages and another one for
global variable linkages. Putting the alias first avoided the reduce/reduce
conflict.
The days of the old .ll parser are long gone. The new one parses just "linkage"
and a later check is responsible for deciding if a linkage is valid in a
given context.
