Emit LLVM lifetime intrinsics to improve stack usage and codegen in g…
…eneral Lifetime intrinsics help to reduce stack usage, because LLVM can apply stack coloring to reuse the stack slots of dead allocas for new ones. For example these functions now both use the same amount of stack, while previous `bar()` used five times as much as `foo()`: ````rust fn foo() { println("{}", 5); } fn bar() { println("{}", 5); println("{}", 5); println("{}", 5); println("{}", 5); println("{}", 5); } ```` On top of that, LLVM can also optimize out certain operations when it knows that memory is dead after a certain point. For example, it can sometimes remove the zeroing used to cancel the drop glue. This is possible when the glue drop itself was already removed because the zeroing dominated the drop glue call. For example in: ````rust pub fn bar(x: (Box<int>, int)) -> (Box<int>, int) { x } ```` With optimizations, this currently results in: ````llvm define void @_ZN3bar20h330fa42547df8179niaE({ i64*, i64 }* noalias nocapture nonnull sret, { i64*, i64 }* noalias nocapture nonnull) unnamed_addr #0 { "_ZN29_$LP$Box$LT$int$GT$$C$int$RP$39glue_drop.$x22glue_drop$x22$LP$1347$RP$17h88cf42702e5a322aE.exit": %2 = bitcast { i64*, i64 }* %1 to i8* %3 = bitcast { i64*, i64 }* %0 to i8* tail call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i64(i8* %3, i8* %2, i64 16, i32 8, i1 false) tail call void @llvm.memset.p0i8.i64(i8* %2, i8 0, i64 16, i32 8, i1 false) ret void } ```` But with lifetime intrinsics we get: ````llvm define void @_ZN3bar20h330fa42547df8179niaE({ i64*, i64 }* noalias nocapture nonnull sret, { i64*, i64 }* noalias nocapture nonnull) unnamed_addr #0 { "_ZN29_$LP$Box$LT$int$GT$$C$int$RP$39glue_drop.$x22glue_drop$x22$LP$1347$RP$17h88cf42702e5a322aE.exit": %2 = bitcast { i64*, i64 }* %1 to i8* %3 = bitcast { i64*, i64 }* %0 to i8* tail call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i64(i8* %3, i8* %2, i64 16, i32 8, i1 false) tail call void @llvm.lifetime.end(i64 16, i8* %2) ret void } ```` Fixes rust-lang#15665
