Introduce an Address type to bundle a pointer value with an
alignment. Introduce APIs on CGBuilderTy to work with Address
values. Change core APIs on CGF/CGM to traffic in Address where
appropriate. Require alignments to be non-zero. Update a ton
of code to compute and propagate alignment information.
As part of this, I've promoted CGBuiltin's EmitPointerWithAlignment
helper function to CGF and made use of it in a number of places in
the expression emitter.
The end result is that we should now be significantly more correct
when performing operations on objects that are locally known to
be under-aligned. Since alignment is not reliably tracked in the
type system, there are inherent limits to this, but at least we
are no longer confused by standard operations like derived-to-base
conversions and array-to-pointer decay. I've also fixed a large
number of bugs where we were applying the complete-object alignment
to a pointer instead of the non-virtual alignment, although most of
these were hidden by the very conservative approach we took with
member alignment.
Also, because IRGen now reliably asserts on zero alignments, we
should no longer be subject to an absurd but frustrating recurring
bug where an incomplete type would report a zero alignment and then
we'd naively do a alignmentAtOffset on it and emit code using an
alignment equal to the largest power-of-two factor of the offset.
We should also now be emitting much more aggressive alignment
attributes in the presence of over-alignment. In particular,
field access now uses alignmentAtOffset instead of min.
Several times in this patch, I had to change the existing
code-generation pattern in order to more effectively use
the Address APIs. For the most part, this seems to be a strict
improvement, like doing pointer arithmetic with GEPs instead of
ptrtoint. That said, I've tried very hard to not change semantics,
but it is likely that I've failed in a few places, for which I
apologize.
ABIArgInfo now always carries the assumed alignment of indirect and
indirect byval arguments. In order to cut down on what was already
a dauntingly large patch, I changed the code to never set align
attributes in the IR on non-byval indirect arguments. That is,
we still generate code which assumes that indirect arguments have
the given alignment, but we don't express this information to the
backend except where it's semantically required (i.e. on byvals).
This is likely a minor regression for those targets that did provide
this information, but it'll be trivial to add it back in a later
patch.
I partially punted on applying this work to CGBuiltin. Please
do not add more uses of the CreateDefaultAligned{Load,Store}
APIs; they will be going away eventually.

This reverts commit r234700. It turns out that the lifetime markers
were not the cause of Chromium failing but a bug which was uncovered by
optimizations exposed by the markers.

Now that TailRecursionElimination has been fixed with r222354, the
threshold on size for lifetime marker insertion can be removed. This
only affects named temporary though, as the patch for unnamed temporaries
is still in progress.
My previous commit (r222993) was not handling debuginfo correctly, but
this could only be seen with some asan tests. Basically, lifetime markers
are just instrumentation for the compiler's usage and should not affect
debug information; however, the cleanup infrastructure was assuming it
contained only destructors, i.e. actual code to be executed, and was
setting the breakpoint for the end of the function to the closing '}', and
not the return statement, in order to show some destructors have been
called when leaving the function. This is wrong when the cleanups are only
lifetime markers, and this is now fixed.

Boostrapping LLVM+Clang+LLDB without threshold on object size for
lifetime markers insertion has shown there was no significant change
in compile time, so let the stack slot colorizer do its optimization
for all slots.

In llvm the only semantic difference between internal and private is that llvm
tries to hide private globals my mangling them with a private prefix. Since
the globals changed by this patch already had the magic don't mangle marker,
there should be no change in the generated assembly.
A followup patch should then be able to drop the \01L and \01l prefixes and let
llvm mangle as appropriate.

objc_loadWeak. This retains and autorelease the weakly-refereced
object. This hidden autorelease sometimes makes __weak variable alive even
after the weak reference is erased, because the object is still referenced
by an autorelease pool. This patch overcomes this behavior by loading a
weak object via call to objc_loadWeakRetained(), followng it by objc_release
at appropriate place, thereby removing the hidden autorelease. // rdar://10849570

increasingly prevailing case to the point that new features
like ARC don't even support the fragile ABI anymore.
This required a little bit of reshuffling with exceptions
because a check was assuming that ObjCNonFragileABI was
only being set in ObjC mode, and that's actually a bit
obnoxious to do.
Most, though, it involved a perl script to translate a ton
of test cases.
Mostly no functionality change for driver users, although
there are corner cases with disabling language-specific
exceptions that we should handle more correctly now.

This is consistent with the behavior of assigning into a __strong l-value,
and it's also necessary for ensuring that the ivar doesn't end up a dangling
reference. We decided not to change the behavior of "retain" properties, but
just to make them warnings/errors when of block type.

the lifetime of the block by copying it to the heap, or else we'll get
a dangling reference because the code working with the non-block-typed
object will not know it needs to copy.
There is some danger here, e.g. with assigning a block literal to an
unsafe variable, but, well, it's an unsafe variable.
