We have a new policy in place making links to private resources
something we try to avoid in source and test files. Normally, we'd
organically switch to the new policy rather than make a sweeping change
across a project. However, Clang is in a somewhat special circumstance
currently: recently, I've had several new contributors run into rdar
links around test code which their patch was changing the behavior of.
This turns out to be a surprisingly bad experience, especially for
newer folks, for a handful of reasons: not understanding what the link
is and feeling intimidated by it, wondering whether their changes are
actually breaking something important to a downstream in some way,
having to hunt down strangers not involved with the patch to impose on
them for help, accidental pressure from asking for potentially private
IP to be made public, etc. Because folks run into these links entirely
by chance (through fixing bugs or working on new features), there's not
really a set of problematic links to focus on -- all of the links have
basically the same potential for causing these problems. As a result,
this is an omnibus patch to remove all such links.
This was not a mechanical change; it was done by manually searching for
rdar, radar, radr, and other variants to find all the various
problematic links. From there, I tried to retain or reword the
surrounding comments so that we would lose as little context as
possible. However, because most links were just a plain link with no
supporting context, the majority of the changes are simple removals.

For a definition (of most linkage types), dso_local is set for ELF -fno-pic/-fpie
and COFF, but not for Mach-O. This nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
This patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `
if there is an explicit linkage.
* Clang will set dso_local for Mach-O, which is currently implied by TargetMachine.cpp. This will make COFF/Mach-O and executable ELF similar.
* Eventually I hope we can make dso_local the textual LLVM IR default (write explicit "dso_preemptable" when applicable) and -fpic ELF will be similar to everything else. This patch helps move toward that goal.
When a function/method use a parameter with "ns_consumed" attribute,
ensure that the mangled name is the same whether -fobjc-arc is used
or not.
Since "ns_consumed" attribute is generally used to inform ARC that
a function/method does sink the reference, it mean it is usually
implemented in a compilation unit compiled without -fobjc-arc but
used form a compilation unit compiled with it.
Originally found while trying to use "ns_consumed" attribute in an
Objective-C++ file in Chromium (http://crbug.com/599980) where it
caused a linker error.
Regression introduced by revision 262278 (previously the attribute
was incorrectly not part of the mangled name).

The __kindof type qualifier can be applied to Objective-C object
(pointer) types to indicate id-like behavior, which includes implicit
"downcasting" of __kindof types to subclasses and id-like message-send
behavior. __kindof types provide better type bounds for substitutions
into unspecified generic types, which preserves more type information.

to provide proper overloading, and also prevents mangling conflicts with
template arguments of protocol-qualified type.
This is a non-backward-compatible mangling change, but per discussion with
John, the benefits outweigh this cost.
Fixes <rdar://problem/14074822>.

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
