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.

Previously, when checking if a `TemplateSpecializationType` is either
`enable_if` or `enable_if_t`, the AST matcher would call
`getTemplateName`, `getASTemplateDecl` and `getTemplatedDecl` in
succession to check the `NamedDecl` returned from `getTemplatedDecl` is
an `std::enable_if[_t]`. In the linked issue, the pointer returned by
`getTemplatedDecl` is a `nullptr` that is unconditionally accessed,
resulting in a crash. Instead, the checking is done on the
`TemplateDecl`
returned by `getASTemplateDecl`.
Fixes#106333
This is an enabler for a future patch.
This allows an type-parameter default argument to be set as an arbitrary
TemplateArgument, not just a type.
This allows template parameter packs to have default arguments in the
AST, even though the language proper doesn't support the syntax for it.
This will be used in a later patch which synthesizes template parameter
lists with arbitrary default arguments taken from template
specializations.
There are a few places we used SubsType, because we only had a type, now
we use SubstTemplateArgument.
SubstTemplateArgument was missing arguments for setting Instantiation
location and entity names.
Adding those is needed so we don't regress in diagnostics.
I'm planning to remove StringRef::equals in favor of
StringRef::operator==.
- StringRef::operator==/!= outnumber StringRef::equals by a factor of
276 under llvm-project/ in terms of their usage.
- The elimination of StringRef::equals brings StringRef closer to
std::string_view, which has operator== but not equals.
- S == "foo" is more readable than S.equals("foo"), especially for
!Long.Expression.equals("str") vs Long.Expression != "str".
Run clang-tidy on all source files under `clang-tools-extra/clang-tidy`
with `-header-filter=clang-tidy.*` and make suggested corrections.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D112864
Many concepts emulation libraries, such as the one found in Range v3, tend to
use non-type template parameters for the enable_if type expression, due to
their versatility in template functions and constructors containing variadic
template parameter packs.
Unfortunately the bugprone-forwarding-reference-overload check does not
handle non-type template parameters, as was first noted in this bug report:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38081
This patch fixes this long standing issue and allows for the check to be suppressed
with the use of a non-type template parameter containing enable_if or enable_if_t in
the type expression, so long as it has a default literal value.
to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.
