This is a major change on how we represent nested name qualifications in
the AST.
* The nested name specifier itself and how it's stored is changed. The
prefixes for types are handled within the type hierarchy, which makes
canonicalization for them super cheap, no memory allocation required.
Also translating a type into nested name specifier form becomes a no-op.
An identifier is stored as a DependentNameType. The nested name
specifier gains a lightweight handle class, to be used instead of
passing around pointers, which is similar to what is implemented for
TemplateName. There is still one free bit available, and this handle can
be used within a PointerUnion and PointerIntPair, which should keep
bit-packing aficionados happy.
* The ElaboratedType node is removed, all type nodes in which it could
previously apply to can now store the elaborated keyword and name
qualifier, tail allocating when present.
* TagTypes can now point to the exact declaration found when producing
these, as opposed to the previous situation of there only existing one
TagType per entity. This increases the amount of type sugar retained,
and can have several applications, for example in tracking module
ownership, and other tools which care about source file origins, such as
IWYU. These TagTypes are lazily allocated, in order to limit the
increase in AST size.
This patch offers a great performance benefit.
It greatly improves compilation time for
[stdexec](https://github.com/NVIDIA/stdexec). For one datapoint, for
`test_on2.cpp` in that project, which is the slowest compiling test,
this patch improves `-c` compilation time by about 7.2%, with the
`-fsyntax-only` improvement being at ~12%.
This has great results on compile-time-tracker as well:

This patch also further enables other optimziations in the future, and
will reduce the performance impact of template specialization resugaring
when that lands.
It has some other miscelaneous drive-by fixes.
About the review: Yes the patch is huge, sorry about that. Part of the
reason is that I started by the nested name specifier part, before the
ElaboratedType part, but that had a huge performance downside, as
ElaboratedType is a big performance hog. I didn't have the steam to go
back and change the patch after the fact.
There is also a lot of internal API changes, and it made sense to remove
ElaboratedType in one go, versus removing it from one type at a time, as
that would present much more churn to the users. Also, the nested name
specifier having a different API avoids missing changes related to how
prefixes work now, which could make existing code compile but not work.
How to review: The important changes are all in
`clang/include/clang/AST` and `clang/lib/AST`, with also important
changes in `clang/lib/Sema/TreeTransform.h`.
The rest and bulk of the changes are mostly consequences of the changes
in API.
PS: TagType::getDecl is renamed to `getOriginalDecl` in this patch, just
for easier to rebasing. I plan to rename it back after this lands.

Some `LangOptions` duplicate their `CodeGenOptions` counterparts. My
understanding is that this was done solely because some infrastructure
(like preprocessor initialization, serialization, module compatibility
checks, etc.) were only possible/convenient for `LangOptions`. This PR
implements the missing support for `CodeGenOptions`, which makes it
possible to remove some duplicate `LangOptions` fields and simplify the
logic. Motivated by https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/146342.
This patch fixes an issue where Microsoft-specific layout attributes,
such as __declspec(empty_bases), were ignored during CUDA/HIP device
compilation on a Windows host. This caused a critical memory layout
mismatch between host and device objects, breaking libraries that rely
on these attributes for ABI compatibility.
The fix introduces a centralized hasMicrosoftRecordLayout() check within
the TargetInfo class. This check is aware of the auxiliary (host) target
and is set during TargetInfo::adjust if the host uses a Microsoft ABI.
The empty_bases, layout_version, and msvc::no_unique_address attributes
now use this centralized flag, ensuring device code respects them and
maintains layout consistency with the host.

These are identified by misc-include-cleaner. I've filtered out those
that break builds. Also, I'm staying away from llvm-config.h,
config.h, and Compiler.h, which likely cause platform- or
compiler-specific build failures.
This reverts commit e2a885537f11f8d9ced1c80c2c90069ab5adeb1d. Build failures were fixed right away and reverting the original commit without the fixes breaks the build again.
The `DiagnosticOptions` class is currently intrusively
reference-counted, which makes reasoning about its lifetime very
difficult in some cases. For example, `CompilerInvocation` owns the
`DiagnosticOptions` instance (wrapped in `llvm::IntrusiveRefCntPtr`) and
only exposes an accessor returning `DiagnosticOptions &`. One would
think this gives `CompilerInvocation` exclusive ownership of the object,
but that's not the case:
```c++
void shareOwnership(CompilerInvocation &CI) {
llvm::IntrusiveRefCntPtr<DiagnosticOptions> CoOwner = &CI.getDiagnosticOptions();
// ...
}
```
This is a perfectly valid pattern that is being actually used in the
codebase.
I would like to ensure the ownership of `DiagnosticOptions` by
`CompilerInvocation` is guaranteed to be exclusive. This can be
leveraged for a copy-on-write optimization later on. This PR changes
usages of `DiagnosticOptions` across `clang`, `clang-tools-extra` and
`lldb` to not be intrusively reference-counted.
This reverts commit 7a242387c950c7060143da6da0e6fb91f36bb458. Even after 175f8a44, the Modules/fmodules-validate-once-per-build-session.c test is not fixed on the clang-armv8-quick build bot. (Failure occurs on line 114.)
This reverts commit 18b885f66babff3a10451bc811ffc077d61ed8ee, effectively reapplying #139987. This commit fixes unit tests (for example ASTUnitTest.SaveLoadPreservesLangOptionsInPrintingPolicy) where the `ASTUnit::ModCache` pointer dereferenced within `ASTUnit::serialize()` was null. This commit makes sure each factory function does initialize `ASTUnit::ModCache`.
Timestamps are an implementation detail of the cross-process module
cache implementation. This PR hides it from the `ModuleCache` API, which
simplifies the in-process implementation.
This PR makes it so that `CompilerInvocation` needs to be provided to
`CompilerInstance` on construction. There are a couple of benefits in my
view:
* Making it impossible to mis-use some `CompilerInstance` APIs. For
example there are cases, where `createDiagnostics()` was called before
`setInvocation()`, causing the `DiagnosticEngine` to use the
default-constructed `DiagnosticOptions` instead of the intended ones.
* This shrinks `CompilerInstance`'s state space.
* This makes it possible to access **the** invocation in
`CompilerInstance`'s constructor (to be used in a follow-up).
This PR hides the reference-counted pointer that holds `TargetOptions`
from the public API of `CompilerInvocation`. This gives
`CompilerInvocation` an exclusive control over the lifetime of this
member, which will eventually be leveraged to implement a copy-on-write
behavior.
There are two clients that currently share ownership of that pointer:
* `TargetInfo` - This was refactored to hold a non-owning reference to
`TargetOptions`. The options object is typically owned by the
`CompilerInvocation` or by the new `CompilerInstance::AuxTargetOpts` for
the auxiliary target. This needed a bit of care in `ASTUnit::Parse()` to
keep the `CompilerInvocation` alive.
* `clangd::PreambleData` - This was refactored to exclusively own the
`TargetOptions` that get moved out of the `CompilerInvocation`.
This makes it so that `CompilerInvocation` can be the only entity that
manages ownership of `HeaderSearchOptions`, making it possible to
implement copy-on-write semantics.
This PR adds new `ModuleCache` interface to Clang's implicitly-built
modules machinery. The main motivation for this change is to create a
second implementation that uses a more efficient kind of
`llvm::AdvisoryLock` during dependency scanning.
In addition to the lock abstraction, the `ModuleCache` interface also
manages the existing `InMemoryModuleCache` instance. I found that
compared to keeping these separate/independent, the code is a bit
simpler now, since these are two tightly coupled concepts. I can
envision a more efficient implementation of the `InMemoryModuleCache`
for the single-process case too, which will be much easier to implement
with the current setup.
This is not intended to be a functional change.

Users now can suppress warnings for certain headers by providing a
mapping with globs, a sample file looks like:
```
[unused]
src:*
src:*clang/*=emit
```
This will suppress warnings from `-Wunused` group in all files that
aren't under `clang/` directory. This mapping file can be passed to
clang via `--warning-suppression-mappings=foo.txt`.
At a high level, mapping file is stored in DiagnosticOptions and then
processed with rest of the warning flags when creating a
DiagnosticsEngine. This is a functor that uses SpecialCaseLists
underneath to match against globs coming from the mappings file.
This implies processing warning options now performs IO, relevant
interfaces are updated to take in a VFS, falling back to RealFileSystem
when one is not available.
This PR builds on top of
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/115235 and makes it possible
to call `ASTWriter::WriteAST()` with `Preprocessor` only instead of full
`Sema` object. So far, there are no clients that leverage the new
capability - that will come in a follow-up commit.
Some `FileManager` APIs still return `{File,Directory}Entry` instead of
the preferred `{File,Directory}EntryRef`. These are documented to be
deprecated, but don't have the attribute that warns on their usage. This
PR marks them as such with `LLVM_DEPRECATED()` and replaces their usage
with the recommended counterparts. NFCI.
Without this patch, several callers of LoadFromASTFile construct an
instance of std::string to be passed as FileName, only to be converted
back to StringRef when LoadFromASTFile calls ReadAST.
This patch changes the type of FileName to StringRef and updates the
callers.
Claiming a mismatch is always in a precompiled header is wrong and
misleading as a mismatch can happen in any provided AST file. Emitting a
path for a file with a problem allows to disambiguate between multiple
input files.
Use generic term "AST file" because we don't always know a kind of the
provided file (for example, see `ASTReader::readASTFileControlBlock`).

Now we can create a LocalDeclID directly with an integer without
verifying. It may be hard to refactor if we want to change the way we
serialize DeclIDs (See https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/95897).
Also it is hard for us to debug if someday someone construct a
LocalDeclID with an incorrect value.
So in this patch, I tried to unify the way we can construct a
LocalDeclID in ASTReader, where we will construct the LocalDeclID from
the serialized data. Also, now we can verify the constructed LocalDeclID
sooner in the new interface.
This patch continues previous efforts to split `Sema` up, this time
covering code completion.
Context can be found in #84184.
Dropping `Code` prefix from function names in `SemaCodeCompletion` would
make sense, but I think this PR has enough changes already.
As usual, formatting changes are done as a separate commit. Hopefully
this helps with the review.
This relands 6c31104.
The patch was reverted due to incorrectly introduced alignment. And the
patch was re-commited after fixing the alignment issue.
Following off are the original message:
This is part of "no transitive change" patch series, "no transitive
source location change". I talked this with @Bigcheese in the tokyo's
WG21 meeting.
The idea comes from @jyknight posted on LLVM discourse. That for:
```
// A.cppm
export module A;
...
// B.cppm
export module B;
import A;
...
//--- C.cppm
export module C;
import C;
```
Almost every time A.cppm changes, we need to recompile `B`. Due to we
think the source location is significant to the semantics. But it may be
good if we can avoid recompiling `C` if the change from `A` wouldn't
change the BMI of B.
This patch only cares source locations. So let's focus on source
location's example. We can see the full example from the attached test.
```
//--- A.cppm
export module A;
export template <class T>
struct C {
T func() {
return T(43);
}
};
export int funcA() {
return 43;
}
//--- A.v1.cppm
export module A;
export template <class T>
struct C {
T func() {
return T(43);
}
};
export int funcA() {
return 43;
}
//--- B.cppm
export module B;
import A;
export int funcB() {
return funcA();
}
//--- C.cppm
export module C;
import A;
export void testD() {
C<int> c;
c.func();
}
```
Here the only difference between `A.cppm` and `A.v1.cppm` is that
`A.v1.cppm` has an additional blank line. Then the test shows that two
BMI of `B.cppm`, one specified `-fmodule-file=A=A.pcm` and the other
specified `-fmodule-file=A=A.v1.pcm`, should have the bit-wise same
contents.
However, it is a different story for C, since C instantiates templates
from A, and the instantiation records the source information from module
A, which is different from `A` and `A.v1`, so it is expected that the
BMI `C.pcm` and `C.v1.pcm` can and should differ.
To fully understand the patch, we need to understand how we encodes
source locations and how we serialize and deserialize them.
For source locations, we encoded them as:
```
|
|
| _____ base offset of an imported module
|
|
|
|_____ base offset of another imported module
|
|
|
|
| ___ 0
```
As the diagram shows, we encode the local (unloaded) source location
from 0 to higher bits. And we allocate the space for source locations
from the loaded modules from high bits to 0. Then the source locations
from the loaded modules will be mapped to our source location space
according to the allocated offset.
For example, for,
```
// a.cppm
export module a;
...
// b.cppm
export module b;
import a;
...
```
Assuming the offset of a source location (let's name the location as
`S`) in a.cppm is 45 and we will record the value `45` into the BMI
`a.pcm`. Then in b.cppm, when we import a, the source manager will
allocate a space for module 'a' (according to the recorded number of
source locations) as the base offset of module 'a' in the current source
location spaces. Let's assume the allocated base offset as 90 in this
example. Then when we want to get the location in the current source
location space for `S`, we can get it simply by adding `45` to `90` to
`135`. Finally we can get the source location for `S` in module B as
`135`.
And when we want to write module `b`, we would also write the source
location of `S` as `135` directly in the BMI. And to clarify the
location `S` comes from module `a`, we also need to record the base
offset of module `a`, 90 in the BMI of `b`.
Then the problem comes. Since the base offset of module 'a' is computed
by the number source locations in module 'a'. In module 'b', the
recorded base offset of module 'a' will change every time the number of
source locations in module 'a' increase or decrease. In other words, the
contents of BMI of B will change every time the number of locations in
module 'a' changes. This is pretty sensitive. Almost every change will
change the number of locations. So this is the problem this patch want
to solve.
Let's continue with the existing design to understand what's going on.
Another interesting case is:
```
// c.cppm
export module c;
import whatever;
import a;
import b;
...
```
In `c.cppm`, when we import `a`, we still need to allocate a base
location offset for it, let's say the value becomes to `200` somehow.
Then when we reach the location `S` recorded in module `b`, we need to
translate it into the current source location space. The solution is
quite simple, we can get it by `135 + (200 - 90) = 245`. In another
word, the offset of a source location in current module can be computed
as `Recorded Offset + Base Offset of the its module file - Recorded Base
Offset`.
Then we're almost done about how we handle the offset of source
locations in serializers.
From the abstract level, what we want to do is to remove the hardcoded
base offset of imported modules and remain the ability to calculate the
source location in a new module unit. To achieve this, we need to be
able to find the module file owning a source location from the encoding
of the source location.
So in this patch, for each source location, we will store the local
offset of the location and the module file index. For the above example,
in `b.pcm`, the source location of `S` will be recorded as `135`
directly. And in the new design, the source location of `S` will be
recorded as `<1, 45>`. Here `1` stands for the module file index of `a`
in module `b`. And `45` means the offset of `S` to the base offset of
module `a`.
So the trade-off here is that, to make the BMI more independent, we need
to record more abstract information. And I feel it is worthy. The
recompilation problem of modules is really annoying and there are still
people complaining this. But if we can make this (including stopping
other changes transitively), I think this may be a killer feature for
modules. And from @Bigcheese , this should be helpful for clang explicit
modules too.
And the benchmarking side, I tested this patch against
https://github.com/alibaba/async_simple/tree/CXX20Modules. No
significant change on compilation time. The size of .pcm files becomes
to 204M from 200M. I think the trade-off is pretty fair.
I didn't use another slot to record the module file index. I tried to
use the higher 32 bits of the existing source location encodings to
store that information. This design may be safe. Since we use `unsigned`
to store source locations but we use uint64_t in serialization. And
generally `unsigned` is 32 bit width in most platforms. So it might not
be a safe problem. Since all the bits we used to store the module file
index is not used before. So the new encodings may be:
```
|-----------------------|-----------------------|
| A | B | C |
* A: 32 bit. The index of the module file in the module manager + 1.
* The +1
here is necessary since we wish 0 stands for the current
module file.
* B: 31 bit. The offset of the source location to the module file
* containing it.
* C: The macro bit. We rotate it to the lowest bit so that we can save
* some
space in case the index of the module file is 0.
```
(The B and C is the existing raw encoding for source locations)
Another reason to reuse the same slot of the source location is to
reduce the impact of the patch. Since there are a lot of places assuming
we can store and get a source location from a slot. And if I tried to
add another slot, a lot of codes breaks. I don't feel it is worhty.
Another impact of this decision is that, the existing small
optimizations for encoding source location may be invalided. The key of
the optimization is that we can turn large values into small values then
we can use VBR6 format to reduce the size. But if we decided to put the
module file index into the higher bits, then maybe it simply doesn't
work. An example may be the `SourceLocationSequence` optimization.
This will only affect the size of on-disk .pcm files. I don't expect
this impact the speed and memory use of compilations. And seeing my
small experiments above, I feel this trade off is worthy.
The mental model for handling source location offsets is not so complex
and I believe we can solve it by adding module file index to each stored
source location.
For the practical side, since the source location is pretty sensitive,
and the patch can pass all the in-tree tests and a small scale projects,
I feel it should be correct.
I'll continue to work on no transitive decl change and no transitive
identifier change (if matters) to achieve the goal to stop the
propagation of unnecessary changes. But all of this depends on this
patch. Since, clearly, the source locations are the most sensitive
thing.

`a.pcm`. Then in b.cppm, when we import a, the source manager will

we can use VBR6 format to reduce the size. But if we decided to put the
module file index into the higher bits, then maybe it simply doesn't
work. An example may be the `SourceLocationSequence` optimization.
This will only affect the size of on-disk .pcm files. I don't expect
this impact the speed and memory use of compilations. And seeing my
small experiments above, I feel this trade off is worthy.
# Correctness
The mental model for handling source location offsets is not so complex
and I believe we can solve it by adding module file index to each stored
source location.
For the practical side, since the source location is pretty sensitive,
and the patch can pass all the in-tree tests and a small scale projects,
I feel it should be correct.
# Future Plans
I'll continue to work on no transitive decl change and no transitive
identifier change (if matters) to achieve the goal to stop the
propagation of unnecessary changes. But all of this depends on this
patch. Since, clearly, the source locations are the most sensitive
thing.

There is a potential issue of using DeclID in ASTUnit. ASTUnit may
record the declaration ID from ASTWriter. And after loading the
preamble, the ASTUnit may consume the recorded declaration ID directly
in ExternalASTSource. This is not good. According to the design, all
local declaration ID consumed in ASTReader need to be translated by
`ASTReader::getGlobaldeclID()`.
This will be problematic if we changed the encodings of declaration IDs or if we
make preamble to work more complexly.
This patch tries to remove all the direct use of DeclID except the real
low level reading and writing. All the use of DeclID is converted to
the use of LocalDeclID or GlobalDeclID. This is helpful to increase the
readability and type safety.

Previously, the DeclID is defined in serialization/ASTBitCodes.h under
clang::serialization namespace. However, actually the DeclID is not
purely used in serialization part. The DeclID is already widely used in
AST and all around the clang project via classes like `LazyPtrDecl` or
calling `ExternalASTSource::getExernalDecl()`. All such uses are via the
raw underlying type of `DeclID` as `uint32_t`. This is not pretty good.
This patch moves the DeclID class family to a new header `AST/DeclID.h`
so that the whole project can use the wrapped class `DeclID`,
`GlobalDeclID` and `LocalDeclID` instead of the raw underlying type.
This can improve the readability and the type safety.

We can compile a module unit in 2 phase compilaton:
```
clang++ -std=c++20 a.cppm --precompile -o a.pcm
clang++ -std=c++20 a.pcm -c -o a.o
```
And it is a general requirement that we need to compile a translation
unit with and without -fPIC for static and shared libraries.
But for C++20 modules with 2 phase compilation, it may be waste of time
to compile them 2 times completely. It may be fine to generate one BMI
and compile it with and without -fPIC seperately.
e.g.,
```
clang++ -std=c++20 a.cppm --precompile -o a.pcm
clang++ -std=c++20 a.pcm -c -o a.o
clang++ -std=c++20 a.pcm -c -fPIC -o a-PIC.o
```
Then we can save the time to parse a.cppm repeatedly.

Previously I misread the concept of module purview. I thought if a
declaration attached to a unnamed module, it can't be part of the module
purview. But after the issue report, I recognized that module purview is
more of a concept about locations instead of semantics.
Concretely, the things in the language linkage after module declarations
can be exported.
This patch refactors `Module::isModulePurview()` and introduces some
possible code cleanups.
This reverts commit a6acf3fd49a20c570a390af2a3c84e10b9545b68 and
relands a50e63b38b931d945f97eac882278068221eca17. The original revert
was done by mistake.
The issue #53952 is reported indicating clang is giving a crashing pch
file, when hasErrors is been passed incorrectly to WriteAST method.
To fix the issue, the parameter has been removed and instead we're
relying on the results of `hasUncompilableErrorOccured()` instead of
letting the caller override it.

This reapplies ddbcc10b9e26b18f6a70e23d0611b9da75ffa52f, except for a tiny part that was reverted separately: 65331da0032ab4253a4bc0ddcb2da67664bd86a9. That will be reapplied later on, since it turned out to be more involved.
This commit is enabled by 5523fefb01c282c4cbcaf6314a9aaf658c6c145f and f0f548a65a215c450d956dbcedb03656449705b9, specifically the part that makes 'clang-tidy/checkers/misc/header-include-cycle.cpp' separator agnostic.
C++20 modules
Previously, we banned the check for input files from C++20 modules since
we thought the BMI from C++20 modules should be a standalone artifact.
However, during the recent experiment with clangd for modules, I find
it is necessary to tell whether or not a BMI is out-of-date by checking the
input files especially for language servers.
So this patch brings a header search option
ForceCheckCXX20ModulesInputFiles to allow the tools (concretly, clangd)
to check the input files from BMI.
