Overhauled llvm/clang docs builds. Closes PR6613.
NOTE: 2nd part changeset for cfe trunk to follow. *** PRE-PATCH ISSUES ADDRESSED - clang api docs fail build from objdir - clang/llvm api docs collide in install PREFIX/ - clang/llvm main docs collide in install - clang/llvm main docs have full of hard coded destination assumptions and make use of absolute root in static html files; namely CommandGuide tools hard codes a website destination for cross references and some html cross references assume website root paths *** IMPROVEMENTS - bumped Doxygen from 1.4.x -> 1.6.3 - splits llvm/clang docs into 'main' and 'api' (doxygen) build trees - provide consistent, reliable doc builds for both main+api docs - support buid vs. install vs. website intentions - support objdir builds - document targets with 'make help' - correct clean and uninstall operations - use recursive dir delete only where absolutely necessary - added call function fn.RMRF which safeguards against botched 'rm -rf'; if any target (or any variable is evaluated) which attempts to remove any dirs which match a hard-coded 'safelist', a verbose error will be printed and make will error-stop. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@103213 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

-Subject: Additional idea with respect to encoding
-
-Here's another idea with respect to keeping the common case instruction
-size down (less than 32 bits ideally):
-
-Instead of encoding an instruction to operate on two register numbers,
-have it operate on two negative offsets based on the current register
-number. Therefore, instead of using:
-
-r57 = add r55, r56 (r57 is the implicit dest register, of course)
-
-We could use:
-
-r57 = add -2, -1
-
-My guess is that most SSA references are to recent values (especially if
-they correspond to expressions like (x+y*z+p*q/ ...), so the negative
-numbers would tend to stay small, even at the end of the procedure (where
-the implicit register destination number could be quite large). Of course
-the negative sign is reduntant, so you would be storing small integers
-almost all of the time, and 5-6 bits worth of register number would be
-plenty for most cases...
-
-What do you think?
