This improves the readability of debugging intrinsics. Instead of:
call void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata !2, ...)
!2 = !{}
We will see:
call void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata !{}, ...)
!2 = !{}
Note that we still get a numbered metadata entry for the node even if it's not
used elsewhere. This is to avoid adding more context to the print functions.
This is already legal IR - LLVM can parse and understand it - so there is no
need to update the parser.
The next patches in this stack will make such empty metadata operands more
common and semantically important.

The legacy PM is deprecated, so update a bunch of lit tests running
opt to use the new PM syntax when specifying the pipeline.
In this patch focus has been put on test cases for ConstantMerge,
ConstraintElimination, CorrelatedValuePropagation, GlobalDCE,
GlobalOpt, SCCP, TailCallElim and PredicateInfo.

This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

Patch by Hsiangkai Wang.
llvm-svn: 331841
This change simplifies code that has to deal with
DIGlobalVariableExpression and mirrors how we treat DIExpressions in
debug info intrinsics. Before this change there were two ways of
representing empty expressions on globals, a nullptr and an empty
!DIExpression().
If someone needs to upgrade out-of-tree testcases:
perl -pi -e 's/(!DIGlobalVariableExpression\(var: ![0-9]*)\)/\1, expr: !DIExpression())/g' <MYTEST.ll>
will catch 95%.
llvm-svn: 312144
There is no situation where this rarely-used argument cannot be
substituted with a DIExpression and removing it allows us to simplify
the DWARF backend. Note that this patch does not yet remove any of
the newly dead code.

Just calling dropAllReferences leaves pointers to the ConstantExpr
behind, so we would eventually crash with a null pointer dereference.
