Minor leftover fixups from replaceMachineCodeForFunction () change.

Added copyright header to all C++ source files.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9291 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Made the Requirements information its own major section and moved it
between the "Getting Started Quickly" and "Getting Started Slowly" sections.
:)
Removed some of the nit-picky requirements information (i.e. GNU tar and
GNU zip).
Attempted to compact the requirements information so that it is less scary.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9290 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Make replaceMachineCodeForFunction() return void.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9289 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Make replaceMachineCodeForFunction return void.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9288 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Make replaceMachineCodeForFunction return void.
Make it assert by default.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9287 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Apparently the dependencies are wrong for this file, so it didn't rebuild it
when changing Instruction.def.  :(

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9286 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Reorder for minor efficiency gain

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9285 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Emit x86 instructions for: A = B op C, where A and B are 16-bit registers,
C is a constant which can be sign-extended from 8 bits without value loss,
and op is one of: add, sub, imul, and, or, xor.

This allows the JIT to emit the one byte version of the constant instead of
the two or 4 byte version.  Because these instructions are very common, this
can save a LOT of code space.  For example, I sampled two benchmarks, 176.gcc
and 254.gap.

BM        Old     New    Reduction
176.gcc 2673621 2548962  4.89%
254.gap  498261  475104  4.87%

Note that while the percentage is not spectacular, this did eliminate
124.6 _KILOBYTES_ of codespace from gcc.  Not bad.

Note that this doesn't effect the llc version at all, because the assembler
already does this optimization.

Hrm, a relic from the past.  How cute :)

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9283 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Further cleanups and simplifications

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9282 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Eliminate code for pointer size and endianness emulation.

The Grammar Police was here.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9280 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* Fixed grammar in header
* Added description of `mem2reg'

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9279 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* Rename X86::IMULr16 -> X86::IMULrr16
* Implement R1 = R2 * C where R1 and R2 are 32 or 16 bits. This avoids an
  extra copy into a register, reducing register pressure.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9278 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Don't bother forwarding function references which are external to the program entirely

Ok, return an explicit path to the shared object, unbreaking code generator
debugging with the JIT

Fix iterator invalidation problem

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9272 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Eliminate unused class

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9270 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Change the Opcode enum for PHI nodes from "Instruction::PHINode" to "Instruction::PHI" to be more consistent with the other instructions.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9269 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Change the Opcode enum for PHI nodes from "Instruction::PHINode" to "Instruction::PHI" to be more consistent with the other instructions.

This allows removal of a special case from the instvisitor

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9268 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* Multiplications by 2^X are turned into shifts.  This factors code out of the
  getelementptr code path for use by other code paths (like malloc and alloca).
* Optimize comparisons with zero
* Generate neg, not, inc, and dec instructions, when possible.

This gives some code size wins, which might translate into performance.  We'll
see tommorow in the nightly tester.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9267 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Change it to match llvmgcc.html ... why do we have separate pages for these two?

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9265 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Clarify the roles of gccld and gccas.
Mention that they should really read the gcc manual.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9264 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9263 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Tweak -plugin description to match bugpoint.html

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9262 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Mostly rewritten.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9261 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

A minor fix

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9260 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Take out extra paragraph tag.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9259 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Make this (-run) set look like the other (-disable) set.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9258 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Always say "the test program", part 2.
Refer to the various "modules" of bugpoint as "debuggers", not
 "debugging modes" or "modules". I think this is more evocative of
 how they typically act, and it's shorter.
Add a note about how a linker bug can crash bugpoint early.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9257 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Minor edits to Description section.
Add Design Philosophy as a separate subsection.  Clarify its last sentence.
Give Automatic Mode Selection a uniquely-named anchor.
Always call the program the "test program", instead of the "initial program",
 the "LLVM program", the "test case", the "resultant module", etc.
Try to explain the assumptions a little more, instead of just describing the
 process.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9255 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Spell-check.
Many minor edits.
Rewrite some of the options section for grammatical parallelism,
 clarity, and brevity.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9254 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Add printouts about failed building and testing.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9253 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

.string adds an implicit zero at the end.  This is not what we wanted.
This fixes PR#44.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9252 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Fix bug: Jello/2003-10-18-PHINode-ConstantExpr-CondCode-Failure.llx
This also fixes miscompilation of 176.gcc.

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@9249 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Without this option, the -run-llc mode does not work with shared objects at
all, making it pointless for use with the code generator debugger.  With it,
it works like a charm.

Updated to emit the final 1.0 bytecode format.  This supports weak linkage,
more efficient encoding of varargs calls, and the new varargs intrinsics.

* Align comments into 80 columns
* Stop using full pathnames (we don't know where the source could be)
* Use only relative distance to the source, so a user can download the code and

* Since `docs' has moved one level up, all relative path names lost a `..'
