variable with its multiple aliases.
This patch handles the case where a variable has
multiple aliases.
AIX's assembly directive .set is not usable for the
aliasing purpose, and using different labels allows
AIX to emulate symbol aliases. If a value is emitted
between any two labels, meaning they are not aligned,
XCOFF will automatically calculate the offset for them.
This patch implements:
1) Emits the label of the alias just before emitting
the value of the sub-element that the alias referred to.
2) A set of aliases that refers to the same offset
should be aligned.
3) We didn't emit aliasing labels for common and
zero-initialized local symbols in
PPCAIXAsmPrinter::emitGlobalVariableHelper, but
emitted linkage for them in
AsmPrinter::emitGlobalAlias, which caused a FAILURE.
This patch fixes the bug by blocking emitting linkage
for the alias without a label.
