This patch fixes various issues with our prior `declare target` handling
and extends it to support `omp begin declare target` as well.
This started with PR49649 in mind, trying to provide a way for users to
avoid the "ref" global use introduced for globals with internal linkage.
From there it went down the rabbit hole, e.g., all variables, even
`nohost` ones, were emitted into the device code so it was impossible to
determine if "ref" was needed late in the game (based on the name only).
To make it really useful, `begin declare target` was needed as it can
carry the `device_type`. Not emitting variables eagerly had a ripple
effect. Finally, the precedence of the (explicit) declare target list
items needed to be taken into account, that meant we cannot just look
for any declare target attribute to make a decision. This caused the
handling of functions to require fixup as well.
I tried to clean up things while I was at it, e.g., we should not "parse
declarations and defintions" as part of OpenMP parsing, this will always
break at some point. Instead, we keep track what region we are in and
act on definitions and declarations instead, this is what we do for
declare variant and other begin/end directives already.
Highlights:
- new diagnosis for restrictions specificed in the standard,
- delayed emission of globals not mentioned in an explicit
list of a declare target,
- omission of `nohost` globals on the host and `host` globals on the
device,
- no explicit parsing of declarations in-between `omp [begin] declare
variant` and the corresponding end anymore, regular parsing instead,
- precedence for explicit mentions in `declare target` lists over
implicit mentions in the declaration-definition-seq, and
- `omp allocate` declarations will now replace an earlier emitted
global, if necessary.

Notes:
The patch is larger than I hoped but it turns out that most changes do
on their own lead to "inconsistent states", which seem less desirable
overall.
After working through this I feel the standard should remove the
explicit declare target forms as the delayed emission is horrible.
That said, while we delay things anyway, it seems to me we check too
often for the current status even though that is often not sufficient to
act upon. There seems to be a lot of duplication that can probably be
trimmed down. Eagerly emitting some things seems pretty weak as an
argument to keep so much logic around.

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! //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
