`Module::getOrInsertGlobal` returns a `Constant*`, which is a super class of `GlobalVariable`, but if the given type doesn't match an existing declaration, it returns a bitcast of that global instead. This causes UB when we pass that to `LLVMGetVisibility` which unconditionally casts the opaque argument to a `GlobalValue*`. Instead, we can do our own get-or-insert without worrying whether existing types match exactly. It's not relevant when we're just trying to get/set the linkage and visibility, and if types are needed we can bitcast or error nicely from `rustc_codegen_llvm` instead.
This directory currently contains some LLVM support code. This will generally be sent upstream to LLVM in time; for now it lives here. NOTE: the LLVM C++ ABI is subject to between-version breakage and must *never* be exposed to Rust. To allow for easy auditing of that, all Rust-exposed types must be typedef-ed as "LLVMXyz", or "LLVMRustXyz" if they were defined here. Functions that return a failure status and leave the error in the LLVM last error should return an LLVMRustResult rather than an int or anything to avoid confusion. When translating enums, add a single `Other` variant as the first one to allow for new variants to be added. It should abort when used as an input. All other types must not be typedef-ed as such.
