For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
Consistent with various workarounds in the backwards compatible modules
that allow static functions in headers to exist, be deduplicated to some
degree, and not generally fail right out of the gate... do the same with
modular codegen as there are enough cases (including in libstdc++ and in
LLVM itself - though I cleaned up the easy ones) that it's worth
supporting as a migration/backcompat step.
Simply create a separate, internal linkage function in each object that
needs it. If an available_externally/modularized function references a
static function, but the modularized function is eventually dropped and
not inlined, the static function will be dropped as unreferenced.
