Without them they can be merged with non unnamed_addr constants during LTO.
The resulting constant is not unnamed_addr and goes in a different section,
which causes ld64 to crash.
A testcase that would crash before:
* file1.mm:
void g(id notification) {
[notification valueForKey:@"name"];
}
* file2.cpp:
extern const char js_name_str[] = "name";
* file3.cpp
extern bool JS_GetProperty(const char *name);
extern const char js_name_str[];
bool js_ReportUncaughtException() { JS_GetProperty(js_name_str); }
run
clang file1.mm -o file1.o -c -w -emit-llvm
clang file2.cpp -o file2.o -c -w -emit-llvm
clang file3.cpp -o file3.o -c -w
ld -dylib -o XUL file1.o file2.o file3.o -undefined dynamic_lookup.

With the old linkage types removed, set the linkage to external for both
dllimport and dllexport to reflect what's currently supported.

encodes the canonical rules for LLVM's style. I noticed this had drifted
quite a bit when cleaning up LLVM, so wanted to clean up Clang as well.

'create' functions conventionally return a pointer, not a reference.
Also use an OwningPtr to get replace the delete of a reference member.
No functional change.

We were mistakengly giving linkonce_odr linkage instead of internal
linkage to the deleting and complete destructor thunks for classes in
anonymous namespaces.
Fixes PR17273.

Thread an optional GV down to EmitGlobalFunctionDefinition so that it can
avoid the lookup when we already know the corresponding llvm global value.

Before this patch GetOrCreateLLVMFunction would add a decl to
DeferredDeclsToEmit even when it was being called by the function trying to
emit that decl.

This makes Clang emit a linkonce_odr definition for 'val' in the code below,
to be compatible with MSVC-compiled code:
struct Foo {
static const int val = 1;
};
