The string representation of the data layout is retrieved from the TargetData class (in main) and passed via global.params.dataLayout to the module. Since the gTargetData is also a global variable it makes no sense to pass this information using another global variable.
- New functions codeGenOptLevel() and verifyModule() to remove code duplication
- Hidden option no-verify renamed to disable-verify and moved to optimizer (like opt tool)
- Removed global.params.noVerify
This is based on Item 2 of "More Effective C++". In general, the C++ cast operators are more expressive and easy to find,
e.g. by grep. Using const_cast also shuts up some compiler warnings.
