We were crashing in CodeGen given input like this:
int self_alias(void) __attribute__((weak, alias("self_alias")));
such a self-alias is invalid, but instead of diagnosing the situation, we'd
proceed to produce IR for both the function declaration and the alias. Because
we already had a function named 'self_alias', the alias could not be named the
same thing, and so LLVM would pick a different name ('self_alias1' for example)
for that value. When we later called CodeGenModule::checkAliases, we'd look up
the IR value corresponding to the alias name, find the function declaration
instead, and then assert in a cast to llvm::GlobalAlias. The easiest way to prevent
this is simply to avoid creating the wrongly-named alias value in the first
place and issue the diagnostic there (instead of in checkAliases). We detect a
related cycle case in CodeGenModule::EmitAliasDefinition already, so this just
adds a second such check.
Even though the other test cases for this 'alias definition is part of a cycle'
diagnostic are in test/Sema/attr-alias-elf.c, I've added a separate regression
test for this case. This is because I can't add this check to
test/Sema/attr-alias-elf.c without disturbing the other test cases in that
file. In order to avoid construction of the bad IR values, this diagnostic
is emitted from within CodeGenModule::EmitAliasDefinition (and the relevant
declaration is not added to the Aliases vector). The other cycle checks are
done within the CodeGenModule::checkAliases function based on the Aliases
vector, called from CodeGenModule::Release. However, if there have been errors
earlier, HandleTranslationUnit does not call Release, and so checkAliases is
never called, and so none of the other diagnostics would be produced.
Fixes PR23509.

IRgen optimization opportunities. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// The common pattern of -- short x; // or char, etc (x == 10) -- generates an zext/sext of x which can easily be avoided. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// Bitfields accesses can be shifted to simplify masking and sign extension. For example, if the bitfield width is 8 and it is appropriately aligned then is is a lot shorter to just load the char directly. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// It may be worth avoiding creation of alloca's for formal arguments for the common situation where the argument is never written to or has its address taken. The idea would be to begin generating code by using the argument directly and if its address is taken or it is stored to then generate the alloca and patch up the existing code. In theory, the same optimization could be a win for block local variables as long as the declaration dominates all statements in the block. NOTE: The main case we care about this for is for -O0 -g compile time performance, and in that scenario we will need to emit the alloca anyway currently to emit proper debug info. So this is blocked by being able to emit debug information which refers to an LLVM temporary, not an alloca. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// We should try and avoid generating basic blocks which only contain jumps. At -O0, this penalizes us all the way from IRgen (malloc & instruction overhead), all the way down through code generation and assembly time. On 176.gcc:expr.ll, it looks like over 12% of basic blocks are just direct branches! //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
