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.

There are cases where the assertion legitimately does not hold (e.g.
CallExpr::CreateTemporary()), and there's no readily available way to
tell such cases apart.
Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/130272
This fixes a crash where CallExpr::getBeginLoc() tries to access the
first argument of a CallExpr representing a call to a function with
an explicit object parameter, assuming that a first argument exists
because it's the object argument.
This is the case for non-dependent calls, but for dependent calls
the object argument is part of the callee (the semantic analysis
that separates it out has not been performed yet) and so there may
not be a first argument.

In preparation of making `-Wreturn-type` default to an error (as there
is virtually no situation where you’d *want* to fall off the end of a
function that is supposed to return a value), this patch fixes tests
that have relied on this being only a warning, of which there seem
to be 3 kinds:
1. Tests which for no apparent reason have a function that triggers the
warning.
I suspect that a lot of these were on accident (or from before the
warning was introduced), since a lot of people will open issues w/ their
problematic code in the `main` function (which is the one case where you
don’t need to return from a non-void function, after all...), which
someone will then copy, possibly into a namespace, possibly renaming it,
the end result of that being that you end up w/ something that
definitely is not `main` anymore, but which still is declared as
returning `int`, and which still has no return statement (another reason
why I think this might apply to a lot of these is because usually the
actual return type of such problematic functions is quite literally
`int`).
A lot of these are really old tests that don’t use `-verify`, which is
why no-one noticed or had to care about the extra warning that was
already being emitted by them until now.
2. Tests which test either `-Wreturn-type`, `[[noreturn]]`, or what
codegen and sanitisers do whenever you do fall off the end of a
function.
3. Tests where I struggle to figure out what is even being tested
(usually because they’re Objective-C tests, and I don’t know
Objective-C), whether falling off the end of a function matters in the
first place, and tests where actually spelling out an expression to
return would be rather cumbersome (e.g. matrix types currently don’t
support list initialisation, so I can’t write e.g. `return {}`).
For tests that fall into categories 2 and 3, I just added
`-Wno-error=return-type` to the `RUN` lines and called it a day. This
was especially necessary for the former since `-Wreturn-type` is an
analysis-based warning, meaning that it is currently impossible to test
for more than one occurrence of it in the same compilation if it
defaults to an error since the analysis pass is skipped for subsequent
functions as soon as an error is emitted.
I’ve also added `-Werror=return-type` to a few tests that I had already
updated as this patch was previously already making the warning an error
by default, but we’ve decided to split that into two patches instead.
