We want it to be available in analyzes so that we could use the CodeGen notion in middle-end passes (for example, to check if a GC may free some particular pointer). This is a preparatory patch that simply moves the files around. Note: if this causes some build issues, this patch must just be reverted.

to reflect the new license. We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach. Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and repository. llvm-svn: 351636

This differs from the previous version by being more careful about template instantiation/specialization in order to prevent errors when building with clang -Werror. Specifically: * begin is not defined in the template and is instead instantiated when Head is. I think the warning when we don't do that is wrong (PR28815) but for now at least do it this way to avoid the warning. * Instead of performing template specializations in LLVM_INSTANTIATE_REGISTRY instead provide a template definition then do explicit instantiation. No compiler I've tried has problems with doing it the other way, but strictly speaking it's not permitted by the C++ standard so better safe than sorry. Original commit message: Currently the Registry class contains the vestiges of a previous attempt to allow plugins to be used on Windows without using BUILD_SHARED_LIBS, where a plugin would have its own copy of a registry and export it to be imported by the tool that's loading the plugin. This only works if the plugin is entirely self-contained with the only interface between the plugin and tool being the registry, and in particular this conflicts with how IR pass plugins work. This patch changes things so that instead the add_node function of the registry is exported by the tool and then imported by the plugin, which solves this problem and also means that instead of every plugin having to export every registry they use instead LLVM only has to export the add_node functions. This allows plugins that use a registry to work on Windows if LLVM_EXPORT_SYMBOLS_FOR_PLUGINS is used. llvm-svn: 277806
Buildbot failures when building with clang -Werror. Reverting while I try to figure this out. llvm-svn: 277008
This version has two fixes compared to the original: * In Registry.h the template static members are instantiated before they are used, as clang gives an error if you do it the other way around. * The use of the Registry template in clang-tidy is updated in the same way as has been done everywhere else.

According the build bots, clang is using the Registry class somewhere as well. Will reapply with appropriate clang changes at a later point. llvm-svn: 258159
The Registry class constructs a linked list of nodes whose storage is inside static variables and nodes are added via static initializers. The trick is that those static initializers are in both the LLVM code base, and some random plugin that might get loaded in at runtime. The existing code tries to use C++ templates and their ODR rules to get a single definition of the registry for each type, but, experimentally, this doesn't quite work as designed. (Well, the entire structure doesn't. It might not actually be an ODR problem.) Previously, when I tried moving the GCStrategy class (along with it's registry) from CodeGen to IR, I ran into a problem where asking the GCStrategyRegistry a question would return inconsistent results depending on whether you asked from CodeGen (where the static initializers still were) or Transforms. My best guess is that this is a result of either a) an order of initialization error, or b) we ended up with two copies of the registry being created. I remember at the time having convinced myself it was probably (b), but I don't have any of my notes around from that investigation any more. See http://reviews.llvm.org/rL226311 for the original patch in question. This patch tries to remove the possibility of (b) above. (a) was already fixed in change 258109.
