llvm dev - Mar 2015 - [LLVMdev] Internal linkage type clarification

Hello,

There is a bit of confusion about the specification of the internal linkage type
verses its implementation across different versions of LLVM. Please see the trac
ticket [ https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9929 ]; clarification as to the
proper behavior would be much appreciated.

Thanks much,
Will

What has happened is that globalopt has proven that it is impossible for
another module to reason about the existence of 'foo$def' and did the
following:
- remove the alias
- rename the data to have the alias' name
- give the data the same linkage as what the alias previously had

AFAICT, LLVM is functioning properly.
