This is broken, and results in poor performance due to the undefined
behaviour in the LLVM IR. LLVM's `mergefunc` is a *much* better way of
doing this since it merges based on the equality of the bytecode.
For example, consider `std::repr`. It generates different code per
type, but is not included in the type bounds of generics.
The `mergefunc` pass works for most of our code but currently hits an
assert on libstd. It is receiving attention upstream so it will be
ready soon, but I don't think removing this broken code should wait any
longer. I've opened #9536 about enabling it by default.

If an item is skipped due to it being unreachable or for some optimization, then
it shouldn't be encoded into the metadata (because it wasn't present in the
first place).

Part of #7081.
Removed many unnecessary context arguments, turning them into visitors. Removed some @allocation.
If this lands, then I think the only thing left that is unaddressed are:
* the various lint visitors, and
* middle/privacy.rs, which has `impl<'self> Visitor<&'self method_map> for PrivacyVisitor`
This fixes private statics and functions from being usable cross-crates, along
with some bad privacy error messages. This is a reopening of #8365 with all the
privacy checks in privacy.rs instead of resolve.rs (where they should be
anyway).
These maps of exported items will hopefully get used for generating
documentation by rustdoc
Closes#8592

This is the second of two parts of #8991, now possible as a new snapshot
has been made. (The first part implemented the unreachable!() macro; it
was #8992, 6b7b8f2682.)
``std::util::unreachable()`` is removed summarily; any code which used
it should now use the ``unreachable!()`` macro.
Closes#9312.
Closes#8991.
If a static is flagged as address_insignificant, then for LLVM to actually
perform the relevant optimization it must have an internal linkage type. What
this means, though, is that the static will not be available to other crates.
Hence, if you have a generic function with an inner static, it will fail to link
when built as a library because other crates will attempt to use the inner
static externally.
This gets around the issue by inlining the static into the metadata. The same
relevant optimization is then applied separately in the external crate. What
this ends up meaning is that all statics tagged with #[address_insignificant]
will appear at most once per crate (by value), but they could appear in multiple
crates.
This should be the last blocker for using format! ...
This doesn't close any bugs as the goal is to convert the parameter to by-value, but this is a step towards being able to make guarantees about `&T` pointers (where T is Freeze) to LLVM.
In #8185 cross-crate condition handlers were fixed by ensuring that globals
didn't start appearing in different crates with different addressed. An
unfortunate side effect of that pull request is that constants weren't inlined
across crates (uint::bits is unknown to everything but libstd).
This commit fixes this inlining by using the `available_eternally` linkage
provided by LLVM. It partially reverts #8185, and then adds support for this
linkage type. The main caveat is that not all statics could be inlined into
other crates. Before this patch, all statics were considered "inlineable items",
but an unfortunate side effect of how we deal with `&static` and `&[static]`
means that these two cases cannot be inlined across crates. The translation of
constants was modified to propogate this condition of whether a constant
should be considered inlineable into other crates.
Closes#9036
also removes the unused `FastInvoke` wrapper, as it's never actually
going to be used (we can't *partially* switch to `fastcc`, and this is
only used for Rust functions)
The `noalias` attributes were being set only on function definitions,
not on all declarations. This is harmless for `noalias`, but prevented
some optimization opportunities and is *not* harmless for other
attributes like `sret` with ABI implications.

While they may have the same name within various scopes, this changes static
names to use path_pretty_name to append some hash information at the end of the
symbol. We're then guaranteed that each static has a unique NodeId, so this
NodeId is as the "hash" of the pretty name.
Closes#9188
Beforehand it was assumed that the standard cdecl abi was used for all extern
fns of extern crates, but this reads the abi of the extern fn type and declares
the function in the local crate with the appropriate type.
I was trying to think of how to write a test for this, but I was just drawing up blanks :(. Are there standard functions in libc which are not of the cdecl abi? If so we could try linking to them and make sure that the cal completes successfully.
Otherwise, I manually verified that the function was declared correctly by looking at the llvm assembly.
cc #9055 (I'm not sure if this will fix that issue)
