I asked Devang to do back on Sep 27. Instead of going through the
MetadataContext class with methods like getMD() and getMDs(), just
ask the instruction directly for its metadata with getMetadata()
and getAllMetadata().
This includes a variety of other fixes and improvements: previously
all Value*'s were bloated because the HasMetadata bit was thrown into
value, adding a 9th bit to a byte. Now this is properly sunk down to
the Instruction class (the only place where it makes sense) and it
will be folded away somewhere soon.
This also fixes some confusion in getMDs and its clients about
whether the returned list is indexed by the MDID or densely packed.
This is now returned sorted and densely packed and the comments make
this clear.
This introduces a number of fixme's which I'll follow up on.

llvm.dbg.region.end instrinsic. This nested llvm.dbg.func.start/llvm.dbg.region.end pair now enables DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine support in code generator.

linkage: the value may be replaced with something
different at link time. (Frontends that want to
allow values to be loaded out of weak constants can
give their constants weak_odr linkage).

the section or the visibility from one global
value to another: copyAttributesFrom. This is
particularly useful for duplicating functions:
previously this was done by explicitly copying
each attribute in turn at each place where a
new function was created out of an old one, with
the result that obscure attributes were regularly
forgotten (like the collector or the section).
Hopefully now everything is uniform and nothing
is forgotten.

Reimplement the xform in Analysis/ConstantFolding.cpp where we can use
targetdata to validate that it is safe. While I'm in there, fix some const
correctness issues and generalize the interface to the "operand folder".

the function type, instead they belong to functions
and function calls. This is an updated and slightly
corrected version of Reid Spencer's original patch.
The only known problem is that auto-upgrading of
bitcode files doesn't seem to work properly (see
test/Bitcode/AutoUpgradeIntrinsics.ll). Hopefully
a bitcode guru (who might that be? :) ) will fix it.

the Transforms library. This reduces debug library size by 132 KB, debug
binary size by 376 KB, and reduces link time for llvm tools slightly.
llvm-svn: 33939
updating. These were exposed by Devang's recent passmgr changes (with
non-default passorderings) because now the inliner can be interleved with
the LCSSA pass.
llvm-svn: 33760
ConstantFoldInstOperands/ConstantFoldCall to take a pointer to an array
of operands + size, instead of an std::vector.
In some cases, switch to using a SmallVector instead of a vector.
This allows us to get rid of some special case gross code that was there
to avoid the cost of constructing a vector.
llvm-svn: 33670
recommended that getBoolValue be replaced with getZExtValue and that
get(bool) be replaced by get(const Type*, uint64_t). This implements
those changes.
