Adds `--target-cpu` flag which lets you choose a more specific target cpu instead of just passing the default, `generic`. It's more or less akin to `-mcpu`/`-mtune` in clang/gcc.
This can be applied to statics and it will indicate that LLVM will attempt to
merge the constant in .data with other statics.
I have preliminarily applied this to all of the statics generated by the new
`ifmt!` syntax extension. I compiled a file with 1000 calls to `ifmt!` and a
separate file with 1000 calls to `fmt!` to compare the sizes, and the results
were:
fmt 310k
ifmt (before) 529k
ifmt (after) 202k
This now means that ifmt! is both faster and smaller than fmt!, yay!
* LLVM now has a C interface to LLVMBuildAtomicRMW
* The exception handling support for the JIT seems to have been dropped
* Various interfaces have been added or headers have changed
Refactor the optimization passes to explicitly use the passes. This commit
just re-implements the same passes as were already being run.
It also adds an option (behind `-Z`) to run the LLVM lint pass on the
unoptimized IR.
The default versions (atomic_load and atomic_store) are sequentially consistent.
The atomic_load_acq intrinsic acquires as described in [1].
The atomic_store_rel intrinsic releases as described in [1].

In my WIP on rustpkg, I was calling driver code that calls
LLVMRustWriteOutputFile more than once. This was making LLVM
unhappy, since that function has code that initializes the
command-line options for LLVM, and I guess you can't do that more
than once. So, check if they've already been initialized.
adjusting a few foreign functions that were declared with by-ref
mode. This also allows us to remove by-val mode in the near future.
With copy mode, though, we have to be careful because Rust will implicitly pass
somethings by pointer but this may not be the C ABI rules. For example, rust
will pass a struct Foo as a Foo*. So I added some code into the adapters to
fix this (though the C ABI rules may put the pointer back, oh well).
This patch also includes a lint mode for the use of by-ref mode
in foreign functions as the semantics of this have changed.
DebugFlag is conditionally exported by LLVM in llvm/Support/Debug.h
in-between an #ifndef NDEBUG block; RustWrapper should not
unconditionally use it. This closes#3701.
