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 `{{.*}} `.
Summary:
Clang's "asm goto" feature didn't initially support outputs constraints. That
was the same behavior as gcc's implementation. The decision by gcc not to
support outputs was based on a restriction in their IR regarding terminators.
LLVM doesn't restrict terminators from returning values (e.g. 'invoke'), so
it made sense to support this feature.
Output values are valid only on the 'fallthrough' path. If an output value's used
on an indirect branch, then it's 'poisoned'.
In theory, outputs *could* be valid on the 'indirect' paths, but it's very
difficult to guarantee that the original semantics would be retained. E.g.
because indirect labels could be used as data, we wouldn't be able to split
critical edges in situations where two 'callbr' instructions have the same
indirect label, because the indirect branch's destination would no longer be
the same.

New llvm IR is "callbr" for inline asm goto instead "call" for inline asm
For:
asm goto("testl %0, %0; jne %l1;" :: "r"(cond)::label_true, loop);
IR:
callbr void asm sideeffect "testl $0, $0; jne ${1:l};", "r,X,X,~{dirflag},~{fpsr},~{flags}"(i32 %0, i8* blockaddress(@foo, %label_true), i8* blockaddress(@foo, %loop)) #1
to label %asm.fallthrough [label %label_true, label %loop], !srcloc !3
asm.fallthrough:
Compiler need to generate:
1> a dummy constarint 'X' for each label.
2> an unique fallthrough label for each asm goto stmt " asm.fallthrough%number".
Diagnostic
1> duplicate asm operand name are used in output, input and label.
2> goto out of scope.
