Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}
I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines). I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.
This is part of PR21532.

Clang -gsplit-dwarf self-host -O0, binary increases by 0.0005%, -O2,
binary increases by 25%.
A large binary inside Google, split-dwarf, -O0, and other internal flags
(GDB index, etc) increases by 1.8%, optimized build is 35%.
The size impact may be somewhat greater in .o files (I haven't measured
that much - since the linked executable -O0 numbers seemed low enough)
due to relocations. These relocations could be removed if we taught the
llvm-symbolizer to handle indexed addressing in the .o file (GDB can't
cope with this just yet, but GDB won't be reading this info anyway).
Also debug_ranges could be shared between .o and .dwo, though ideally
debug_ranges would get a schema that could used index(+offset)
addressing, and move to the .dwo file, then we'd be back to sharing
addresses in the address pool again.
But for now, these sizes seem small enough to go ahead with this.
Verified that no other DW_TAGs are produced into the .o file other than
subprograms and inlined_subroutines.
