[llvm-commits] CVS: llvm/docs/BytecodeFormat.html LangRef.html

[Anton Korobeynikov]

Changes in directory llvm/docs:

BytecodeFormat.html updated: 1.52 -> 1.53
LangRef.html updated: 1.156 -> 1.157
---
Log message:

Adding dllimport, dllexport and external weak linkage types.
DLL* linkages got full (I hope) codegeneration support in C & both x86 
assembler backends.
External weak linkage added for future use, we don't provide any 
codegeneration, etc. support for it.
