- Merge stickyness, visibility and variability into ir_linkage
- Add proper support for common symbols, weak symbols and C++ COMDAT stuff
- Mark OO-features type_visibility, peculiarity and allocation as deprecated
  OO feature will be separated from firm core into higher levels in the long run
- Rework, simplify and fix bugs in begnuas.c

Small optimization. Note that the else case crashes libFirm and must be fixed, or disable inlining with exceptions yet.

[r26943]

  an optimization should be decided simply on wether the frontend calls
  it or not.

[r26798]

put optimisation module init function declarations into firm_init.h; make loop inversion and loop peeling available in the public API.

[r26778]

[r26468]

- add more passes

[r26395]

[r26387]

- SymConst's are now ALWAYS placed in the start block

[r26236]

Bad nodes just like on Block nodes.
This simplifies get_irn_irg() and implements the idea the the irg can
be retrieved from "the block" of a node.

[r26188]

[r25962]

[r25585]

  and seems generally to be a good idea

[r25572]

[r25529]

[r25280]

Access to value_type entities is now given by the frame pointer.

- fixed assertion

Good day and welcome to the FIRM XMALLOC*() macros.  These macros are provided for the type safety and convenience of the IPD research facility personnel.  The time is 15:32.  Check xmalloc.h for details.

[r22494]

[r22371]

[r22352]

[r22345]

  compiletime options like NDEBUG (as it is public API!)
- renamed some statevs (append a prefix for their module)

[r22329]

  seems to be less usefull

[r22313]

- revert to always inline forced functions for now

[r22311]

[r22310]

[r22309]

 - put call entries into a double linked list, so we can remove them in any order
 - correctly handle recursive calls: use the new (copied) callee_env
 - correctly handle weights for self-recursive calls: due to inlining recursive calls might get promoted to self-recursive calls
 - maxsize is a hard limit now: even forced functions are not inlined anymore (otherwise it would be possible to "force" a recursive one)
 - forced inlines are handled like function with BIG benefice and inlined first (sorted by loop depth)
 - fixed some comments, simplified code
