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.

This makes use of the changes introduced in D134604, in order to

This comes at no additional relevant cost.
Since we don't track / unique them in specializations, we wouldn't be

This patch improves the preservation of qualifiers and loss of type
sugar in TemplateNames.
This problem is analogous to https://reviews.llvm.org/D112374 and this
patch takes a very similar approach to that patch, except the impact
here is much lesser.
When a TemplateName was written bare, without qualifications, we
wouldn't produce a QualifiedTemplate which could be used to disambiguate
it from a Canonical TemplateName. This had effects in the TemplateName
printer, which had workarounds to deal with this, and wouldn't print the
TemplateName as-written in most situations.
There are also some related fixes to help preserve this type sugar along
the way into diagnostics, so that this patch can be properly tested.
- Fix dropping the template keyword.
- Fix type deduction to preserve sugar in TST TemplateNames.
Our current method of storing the template arguments as written for
`(Class/Var)Template(Partial)SpecializationDecl` suffers from a number
of flaws:
- We use `TypeSourceInfo` to store `TemplateArgumentLocs` for class
template/variable template partial/explicit specializations. For
variable template specializations, this is a rather unintuitive hack (as
we store a non-type specialization as a type). Moreover, we don't ever
*need* the type as written -- in almost all cases, we only want the
template arguments (e.g. in tooling use-cases).
- The template arguments as written are stored in a number of redundant
data members. For example, `(Class/Var)TemplatePartialSpecialization`
have their own `ArgsAsWritten` member that stores an
`ASTTemplateArgumentListInfo` (the template arguments).
`VarTemplateSpecializationDecl` has yet _another_ redundant member
"`TemplateArgsInfo`" that also stores an `ASTTemplateArgumentListInfo`.
This patch eliminates all
`(Class/Var)Template(Partial)SpecializationDecl` members which store the
template arguments as written, and turns the `ExplicitInfo` member into
a `llvm::PointerUnion<const ASTTemplateArgumentListInfo*,
ExplicitInstantiationInfo*>` (to avoid unnecessary allocations when the
declaration isn't an explicit instantiation). The template arguments as
written are now accessed via `getTemplateArgsWritten` in all cases.
The "most breaking" change is to AST Matchers, insofar that `hasTypeLoc`
will no longer match class template specializations (since they no
longer store the type as written).
These are an artifact of how types are structured but serve little
purpose, merely showing that the type is sugared in some way. For
example, ElaboratedType's existence means struct S gets printed as
'struct S':'struct S' in the AST, which is unnecessary visual clutter.
Note that skipping the second print when the types have the same string
matches what we do for diagnostics, where the aka will be skipped.
This patch adjust the getSourceRange() for the
VarTemplateSpecializationDecl and VarTemplatePartialSpecializationDecl,
such that the initializer is included if present:
```
template<typename T>
T temp = 1;
template<> double temp<double> = 1;
```
This patch makes it consistent with the behavior of
non-template variables with initializers and restores
behavior that was present before https://reviews.llvm.org/D139705.
n case, when the initializer is not present we still
include the template arguments in the source range,
which was required for fixing zero-initialization fix-it.

This is a change to how we represent type subsitution in the AST.
Instead of only storing the replaced type, we track the templated
entity we are substituting, plus an index.
We modify MLTAL to track the templated entity at each level.
Otherwise, it's much more expensive to go from the template parameter back
to the templated entity, and not possible to do in some cases, as when
we instantiate outer templates, parameters might still reference the
original entity.
This also allows us to very cheaply lookup the templated entity we saw in
the naming context and find the corresponding argument it was replaced
from, such as for implementing template specialization resugaring.

This change allows us to represent in the AST some specific
circumstances where we substitute a template parameter type
which is part of the underlying type of a previous substitution.
This presently happens in some circumstances dealing with
substitution of defaulted parameters of template template
parameters, and in some other cases during concepts substitution.
The main motivation for this change is for the future use in the
implementation of template specialization resugaring, as this will
allow us to represent a substitution with sugared types.

The patch was reverted because it caused a crash during PCH build -- we
missed to update the RParenLoc in TreeTransform<Derived>::TransformAutoType.
This relands 55d96ac and 37ec65e with a test and fix.
This breaks a clang-tidy check, needs to investigate and fix. Revert
them to bring the buildbot back.
This reverts commit 55d96ac3dc56bdebea854952a724c2a50d96ce19 and
37ec65e1d705f56fe5551de1dfcbac1e071588a2
The outputs between the direct ast-dump test and the ast-dump test after
deserialization should match modulo a few differences.
For hand-written tests, strip the "<undeserialized declarations>"s and
the "imported"s with sed.
For tests generated with "make-ast-dump-check.sh", regenerate the
output.
Part 1/n.
Summary:
Clang uses the location identifier should be inserted for declarator
decls when a decl is unnamed. But for type template and template template
paramaters it uses the location of "typename/class" keyword, which makes it hard
for tooling to insert/change parameter names.
This change tries to unify these two cases by making template parameter
parsing and sourcerange operations similar to function params/declarator decls.
