to the instruction position. The old encoding would give an absolute
ID which counts up within a function, and only resets at the next function.
I.e., Instead of having:
... = icmp eq i32 n-1, n-2
br i1 ..., label %bb1, label %bb2
it will now be roughly:
... = icmp eq i32 1, 2
br i1 1, label %bb1, label %bb2
This makes it so that ids remain relatively small and can be encoded
in fewer bits.
With this encoding, forward reference operands will be given
negative-valued IDs. Use signed VBRs for the most common case
of forward references, which is phi instructions.
To retain backward compatibility we bump the bitcode version
from 0 to 1 to distinguish between the different encodings.

This CL delays reading of function bodies from initial parse until
materialization, allowing overlap of compilation with bitcode download.

files. First, add a new block USELIST_BLOCK to the bitcode format. This is
where USELIST_CODE_ENTRYs will be stored. The format of the USELIST_CODE_ENTRYs
have not yet been defined. Add support in the BitcodeReader for parsing the
USELIST_BLOCK.

patch brings numerous advantages to LLVM. One way to look at it
is through diffstat:
109 files changed, 3005 insertions(+), 5906 deletions(-)
Removing almost 3K lines of code is a good thing. Other advantages
include:
1. Value::getType() is a simple load that can be CSE'd, not a mutating
union-find operation.
2. Types a uniqued and never move once created, defining away PATypeHolder.
3. Structs can be "named" now, and their name is part of the identity that
uniques them. This means that the compiler doesn't merge them structurally
which makes the IR much less confusing.
4. Now that there is no way to get a cycle in a type graph without a named
struct type, "upreferences" go away.
5. Type refinement is completely gone, which should make LTO much MUCH faster
in some common cases with C++ code.
6. Types are now generally immutable, so we can use "Type *" instead
"const Type *" everywhere.
Downsides of this patch are that it removes some functions from the C API,
so people using those will have to upgrade to (not yet added) new API.
"LLVM 3.0" is the right time to do this.
There are still some cleanups pending after this, this patch is large enough
as-is.

bitcode file, so that two bitcode files where the same metadata kind
name happens to have been assigned a different ID can still be
linked together.
Eliminate the restriction that metadata kind IDs can't be 0.
Change MD_dbg from 1 to 0, because we can now, and because it's
less mysterious that way.

Modules and ModuleProviders. Because the "ModuleProvider" simply materializes
GlobalValues now, and doesn't provide modules, it's renamed to
"GVMaterializer". Code that used to need a ModuleProvider to materialize
Functions can now materialize the Functions directly. Functions no longer use a
magic linkage to record that they're materializable; they simply ask the
GVMaterializer.
Because the C ABI must never change, we can't remove LLVMModuleProviderRef or
the functions that refer to it. Instead, because Module now exposes the same
functionality ModuleProvider used to, we store a Module* in any
LLVMModuleProviderRef and translate in the wrapper methods. The bindings to
other languages still use the ModuleProvider concept. It would probably be
worth some time to update them to follow the C++ more closely, but I don't
intend to do it.

getMDKindID/getMDKindNames methods to LLVMContext (and add
convenience methods to Module), eliminating MetadataContext.
Move the state that it maintains out to LLVMContext.

round trip blockaddress through .ll and .bc files, so add a testcase.
There are still a bunch of places in the optimizer and other places
that need to be updated to work with these constructs, but at least
the basics are in now.
