Original Message:
The FunctionCallee type is effectively a {FunctionType*,Value*} pair,
and is a useful convenience to enable code to continue passing the
result of getOrInsertFunction() through to EmitCall, even once pointer
types lose their pointee-type.
Then:
- update the CallInst/InvokeInst instruction creation functions to
take a Callee,
- modify getOrInsertFunction to return FunctionCallee, and
- update all callers appropriately.
One area of particular note is the change to the sanitizer
code. Previously, they had been casting the result of
`getOrInsertFunction` to a `Function*` via
`checkSanitizerInterfaceFunction`, and storing that. That would report
an error if someone had already inserted a function declaraction with
a mismatching signature.
However, in general, LLVM allows for such mismatches, as
`getOrInsertFunction` will automatically insert a bitcast if
needed. As part of this cleanup, cause the sanitizer code to do the
same. (It will call its functions using the expected signature,
however they may have been declared.)
Finally, in a small number of locations, callers of
`getOrInsertFunction` actually were expecting/requiring that a brand
new function was being created. In such cases, I've switched them to
Function::Create instead.

Summary:
Added a pair of APIs for encoding/decoding the 3 components of a DWARF discriminator described in http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-October/106532.html: the base discriminator, the duplication factor (useful in profile-guided optimization) and the copy index (used to identify copies of code in cases like loop unrolling)
The encoding packs 3 unsigned values in 32 bits. This CL addresses 2 issues:
- communicates overflow back to the user
- supports encoding all 3 components together. Current APIs assume a sequencing of events. For example, creating a new discriminator based on an existing one by changing the base discriminator was not supported.

Ranges base address specifiers can save a lot of object size in

For an optimized self-host build of Clang with split DWARF and debug
info compression in object files, but uncompressed debug info in the

larger executable.
While it would've been nice to turn this on by default, gold's 32 bit
gdb-index support crashes on this input & I don't think there's any
perfect heuristic to implement solely in LLVM that would suffice - so
we'll need a flag one way or another (also possible people might want to
aggressively optimized for executable size that contains debug info
(even with compression this would still come at some cost to executable
size)) - so let's plumb it through.

Change the dynamic cast in CallBase::getCalledFunction() to allow
null-valued function operands.
This patch fixes a crash that occurred when a funtion operand of a
call instruction was dropped, and later on a metadata-carrying
instruction was printed out. When allocating the metadata slot numbers,
getCalledFunction() would be invoked on the call with the dropped
operand, resulting in a failed non-null assertion in isa<>.
This fixes PR38924, in which a printout in DBCE crashed due to this.
This aligns getCalledFunction() with getCalledValue(), as the latter
allows the operand to be null.

In cases where the debugger load time is a worthwhile tradeoff (or less
costly - such as loading from a DWP instead of a variety of DWOs
(possibly over a high-latency/distributed filesystem)) against object
file size, it can be reasonable to disable pubnames and corresponding
gdb-index creation in the linker.
A backend-flag version of this was implemented for NVPTX in
D44385/r327994 - which was fine for NVPTX which wouldn't mix-and-match
CUs. Now that it's going to be a user-facing option (likely powered by
"-gno-pubnames", the same as GCC) it should be encoded in the
DICompileUnit so it can vary per-CU.
After this, likely the NVPTX support should be migrated to the metadata

LowerDbgDeclare inserts a dbg.value before each use of an address
described by a dbg.declare. When inserting a dbg.value before a CallInst
use, however, it fails to append DW_OP_deref to the DIExpression.
The DW_OP_deref is needed to reflect the fact that a dbg.value describes
a source variable directly (as opposed to a dbg.declare, which relies on
pointer indirection).
This patch adds in the DW_OP_deref where needed. This results in the
correct values being shown during a debug session for a program compiled
with ASan and optimizations (see https://reviews.llvm.org/D49520). Note
that ConvertDebugDeclareToDebugValue is already correct -- no changes
there were needed.
One complication is that SelectionDAG is unable to distinguish between
direct and indirect frame-index (FRAMEIX) SDDbgValues. This patch also
fixes this long-standing issue in order to not regress integration tests
relying on the incorrect assumption that all frame-index SDDbgValues are
indirect. This is a necessary fix: the newly-added DW_OP_derefs cannot
be lowered properly otherwise. Basically the fix prevents a direct
SDDbgValue with DIExpression(DW_OP_deref) from being dereferenced twice
by a debugger. There were a handful of tests relying on this incorrect
"FRAMEIX => indirect" assumption which actually had incorrect
DW_AT_locations: these are all fixed up in this patch.
Testing:
- check-llvm, and an end-to-end test using lldb to debug an optimized
program.
- Existing unit tests for DIExpression::appendToStack fully cover the

In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

the value are interpreted.
* The DW_TAG_enumeration type DIE now always (for DWARF version >= 3)
includes a DW_AT_type attribute, which refers to the underlying

* The debug info metadata for enumeration type contains (in flags)

* For C++11 enumeration with a fixed underlying type, the DIE also
includes the DW_AT_enum_class attribute (for DWARF version >= 4).
* Encoding of enumerator constants uses DW_FORM_sdata for signed values
and DW_FORM_udata for unsigned values, as suggested by DWARFv4 (7.5.4
Attribute Encodings).
The changes should be backwards compatible:
* the isUnsigned attribute is optional and defaults to false.
* if the underlying type for the enumeration is not available, the
enumerator values are considered signed.
* the FixedEnum flag defaults to clear.
* the bitcode format for DIEnumerator stores the unsigned flag bit #1 of
the first record element, so the format does not change and the zero
previously stored there is consistent with the false default for
IsUnsigned.

n Rust, an enum that carries data in the variants is, essentially, a
discriminated union. Furthermore, the Rust compiler will perform
space optimizations on such enums in some situations. Previously,
DWARF for these constructs was emitted using a hack (a magic field
name); but this approach stopped working when more space optimizations
were added in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/45225.
This patch changes LLVM to allow discriminated unions to be
represented in DWARF. It adds createDiscriminatedUnionType and
createDiscriminatedMemberType to DIBuilder and then arranges for this
to be emitted using DWARF's DW_TAG_variant_part and DW_TAG_variant.
Note that DWARF requires that a discriminated union be represented as
a structure with a variant part. However, as Rust only needs to emit
pure discriminated unions, this is what I chose to expose on
DIBuilder.

object pointer is used for the type, then a virtual table will be
emitted for that trait/type combination.
We would like debuggers to be able to inspect trait objects, which
requires finding the concrete type associated with a given vtable.
This patch changes LLVM so that any type can be passed to
replaceVTableHolder. This allows the Rust compiler to emit the needed
debug info -- associating a vtable with the concrete type for which it
was emitted.
This is a DWARF extension: DWARF only specifies the meaning of
DW_AT_containing_type in one specific situation. This style of DWARF

The way that LLVM interprets DW_OP_plus in DIExpression nodes is basically that of the DW_OP_plus_uconst operator since LLVM expects an unsigned constant operand. This unnecessarily restricts the DW_OP_plus operator, preventing it from being used to describe the evaluation of runtime values on the expression stack. These patches try to align the semantics of DW_OP_plus and DW_OP_minus with that of the DWARF definition, which pops two elements off the expression stack, performs the operation and pushes the result back on the stack.
This is done in three stages:
• The first patch (LLVM) adds support for DW_OP_plus_uconst.
• The second patch (Clang) contains changes all its uses from DW_OP_plus to DW_OP_plus_uconst.
• The third patch (LLVM) changes the semantics of DW_OP_plus and DW_OP_minus to be in line with its DWARF meaning. This patch includes the bitcode upgrade from legacy DIExpressions.

Removing the virtual table pointer from Value saves 1% of RSS when doing

This change makes it invalid to directly delete a Value, User, or
Instruction pointer. Instead, such code can be rewritten to a null check
and a call Value::deleteValue(). Value objects tend to have their
lifetimes managed through iplist, so for the most part, this isn't a big
deal. However, there are some places where LLVM deletes values, and
those places had to be migrated to deleteValue. I have also created
llvm::unique_value, which has a custom deleter, so it can be used in
place of std::unique_ptr<Value>.
I had to add the "DerivedUser" Deleter escape hatch for MemorySSA, which
derives from User outside of lib/IR. Code in IR cannot include MemorySSA
headers or call the MemoryAccess object destructors without introducing
a circular dependency, so we need some level of indirection.
Unfortunately, no class derived from User may have any virtual methods,
because adding a virtual method would break User::getHungOffOperands(),
which assumes that it can find the use list immediately prior to the
User object. I've added a static_assert to the appropriate OperandTraits
templates to help people avoid this trap.

Implementation note: We discussed several options for implementing
this, including reserving a dedicated field in DIExpression for the
fragment size and offset, but using an custom operator at the end of
the expression works just fine and is more efficient because we then
only pay for it when we need it.
