Change the objc ARC optimizer to use the new objc.* intrinsics
ClosedPublic

Summary

Now that we have objc* intrinsics, this teaches ARC to use them instead of the objc_ methods.

The vast majority of the changes are in the tests where I really just replaced @objc_ with @llvm.objc.

In the ARC optimizer itself, the changes are to both use the new intrinsics as the source to optimize, and also, where necessary, create calls to the intrinsics instead of the objc_ methods.

I'm curious why you didn't create an intrinsic for this method (or the two at the bottom). Are they not emitted by Clang's IRGen?

Why is this okay to leave behind?

Ah yeah, I found that out later that they are emitted by clang.

I only added the ones documented at https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html#runtime-support

Its very easy to add the others though. Can do that now if you like?

Same as above I believe. These are not yet intrinsics, but could be if we want completeness here. It would certainly make this method much simpler if they are intrinsics.

I added the other objc* intrinsics used by ARC in r348646.

Updated this patch to use them so now llvm::objcarc::GetFunctionClass is all intrinsic based.

Thanks! I don't see anything else, but I don't know the ARC optimizer well. @ahatanak, can you take a look?

It looks like these functions have been deprecated.

Is there a reason we don't use @llvm.objc.retainedObject here and in test/Transforms/ObjCARC/rv.ll?

Ah yeah, 80 cols so had to do it this way :(

Also 80 cols.

Good catch!

Looks like those are declared but unused in both tests. I'll remove them in a followup.
