[llvm-commits] [llvm] r147971 - in /llvm/trunk: include/llvm/GlobalValue.h lib/Transforms/IPO/ConstantMerge.cpp

[Eli Friedman]

Author: efriedma

New Revision: 147971

URL: http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=147971&view=rev
Log:
Re-fix the issue Bill fixed in r147899 in a slightly different way, which doesn't abuse the semantics of linker_private.  We don't really want to merge any string constant with a weak_odr global.
