Bitcode: Collect all MDString records into a single blob
Optimize output of MDStrings in bitcode. This emits them in big blocks
(currently 1024) in a pair of records:
- BULK_STRING_SIZES: the sizes of the strings in the block, and
- BULK_STRING_DATA: a single blob, which is the concatenation of all
the strings.
Inspired by Mehdi's similar patch, http://reviews.llvm.org/D18342, this
should (a) slightly reduce bitcode size, since there is less record
overhead, and (b) greatly improve reading speed, since blobs are super
cheap to deserialize.
I needed to add support for blobs to streaming input to get the test
suite passing.
- StreamingMemoryObject::getPointer reads ahead and returns the
address of the blob.
- To avoid a possible reallocation of StreamingMemoryObject::Bytes,
BitstreamCursor::readRecord needs to move the call to JumpToEnd
forward so that getPointer is the last bitstream operation.
