This is the default behavior and cuts down on attribute spam.
Probably should also do something to consolidate the option spellings;
printing and parsing it is repeated in at least 3 different places.
In the OpenMP tests, I had to manually delete some metadata check
lines update_cc_test_checks was inserting that included the local
build revision.
For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
Summary:
Clang -fpic defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition (GCC -fpic defaults
to -fsemantic-interposition).
Users need to specify -fsemantic-interposition to get semantic
interposition behavior.
Semantic interposition is currently a best-effort feature. There may
still be some cases where it is not handled well.

MIPS gcc supports `long_call/far/near` attributes only, but other
targets have the `short_call` attribut, so let's support it for MIPS
for consistency.
llvm-svn: 308719
This patch adds support for the `long_call`, `far`, and `near` attributes
for MIPS targets. The `long_call` and `far` attributes are synonyms. All
these attributes override `-mlong-calls` / `-mno-long-calls` command
line options for particular function.
