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 `{{.*}} `.
This fixes miscomputation of __builtin_constant_evaluated in the
initializer of a variable that's not usable in constant expressions, but
is readable when constant-folding.
If evaluation of a constant initializer fails, we throw away the
evaluated result instead of keeping it as a non-constant-initializer
value for the variable, because it might not be a correct value.
To avoid regressions for initializers that are foldable but not formally
constant initializers, we now try constant-evaluating some globals in
C++ twice: once to check for a constant initializer (in an mode where
is_constannt_evaluated returns true) and again to determine the runtime
value if the initializer is not a constant initializer.
