This enabled opaque pointers by default in LLVM. The effect of this
is twofold:
* If IR that contains *neither* explicit ptr nor %T* types is passed
to tools, we will now use opaque pointer mode, unless
-opaque-pointers=0 has been explicitly passed.
* Users of LLVM as a library will now default to opaque pointers.
It is possible to opt-out by calling setOpaquePointers(false) on
LLVMContext.
A cmake option to toggle this default will not be provided. Frontends
or other tools that want to (temporarily) keep using typed pointers
should disable opaque pointers via LLVMContext.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D126689
the second half of link-global-to-func.ll and causes some minor changes in
messages.
There are two TODOs here. First, this causes a regression in
2008-07-06-AliasWeakDest.ll, which is now failing (so I xfailed it). Anton,
I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at this. It should be
a matter of adding proper alias support to GetLinkageResult, and was probably
already a latent bug that would manifest with globals.
The second todo is to reimplement LinkAlias in the same pattern as
function and global linking. This should be pretty straight-forward for
someone who knows aliases, but isn't a requirement for correctness.
