When an initializer is provided to a variable, the Linux kernel relied
on the compiler to zero-initialize unspecified fields, as clarified in
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg1007244.html.
But clang doesn't guarantee this:
1. For a union type, if an empty initializer is given, clang only
initializes bytes for the first field, left bytes for other (larger)
fields are marked as undef. Accessing those undef bytes can lead
to undefined behaviors.
2. For a union type, if an initializer explicitly sets a field, left
bytes for other (larger) fields are marked as undef.
3. When an initializer is given, clang doesn't zero initialize padding.
So this patch makes the following change:
1. In C, when an initializer is provided for a variable, zero-initialize
undef and padding fields in the initializer.
2. Document the change in LanguageExtensions.rst.
As suggested in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/78034#issuecomment-2183437928,
the change isn't required by C23, but it's standards conforming to do
so.
Fixes: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/97459
Consider the following code:
```c
bool const inf = (1.0/0.0);
```
When trying to emit the initialiser of this variable in C23, we end up
hitting a code path in codegen in `VarDecl::evaluateValueImpl()` where
we check for `IsConstantInitialization && (Ctx.getLangOpts().CPlusPlus
|| Ctx.getLangOpts().C23)`, and if that is the case and we emitted any
notes, constant evaluation fails, and as a result, codegen issues this
error:
```
<source>:1:12: error: cannot compile this static initializer yet
1 | bool const inf = (1.0/0.0);
|
```
As a fix, only fail in C23 mode if we’re initialising a `constexpr`
variable.
This fixes#84784.
For code like:
struct foo { ... };
struct bar { struct foo foo; };
const struct foo my_foo = { ... };
struct bar my_bar = { .foo = my_foo };
Eli Friedman points out the relevant part of the C standard seems to
have some flexibility in what is considered a constant expression:
6.6 paragraph 10:
An implementation may accept other forms of constant expressions.
GCC 8 added support for these, so clang not supporting them has been a
constant thorn in the side of source code portability within the Linux
kernel.

This patch fixes a crash when trying to emit a constant compound literal.
For C++ Clang evaluates either casts or binary operations at translation time,
but doesn't pass on the InConstantContext information that was inferred when
parsing the statement. Because of this, strict FP evaluation (-ftrapping-math)
which shouldn't be in effect yet, then causes checkFloatingpointResult to return
false, which in tryEmitGlobalCompoundLiteral will trigger an assert that the
compound literal wasn't constant.
The discussion here around 'manifestly constant evaluated contexts' was very
helpful to me when trying to understand what LLVM's position is on what
evaluation context should be in effect, together with the explanatory text in
that patch itself:

Clang has traditionally allowed C programs to implicitly convert
integers to pointers and pointers to integers, despite it not being
valid to do so except under special circumstances (like converting the
integer 0, which is the null pointer constant, to a pointer). In C89,
this would result in undefined behavior per 3.3.4, and in C99 this rule
was strengthened to be a constraint violation instead. Constraint
violations are most often handled as an error.
This patch changes the warning to default to an error in all C modes
(it is already an error in C++). This gives us better security posture
by calling out potential programmer mistakes in code but still allows
users who need this behavior to use -Wno-error=int-conversion to retain
the warning behavior, or -Wno-int-conversion to silence the diagnostic
entirely.

This adds -no-opaque-pointers to clang tests whose output will
change when opaque pointers are enabled by default. This is
intended to be part of the migration approach described in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/enabling-opaque-pointers-by-default/61322/9.
The patch has been produced by replacing %clang_cc1 with
%clang_cc1 -no-opaque-pointers for tests that fail with opaque
pointers enabled. Worth noting that this doesn't cover all tests,
there's a remaining ~40 tests not using %clang_cc1 that will need
a followup change.

A significant number of our tests in C accidentally use functions
without prototypes. This patch converts the function signatures to have
a prototype for the situations where the test is not specific to K&R C
declarations. e.g.,
void func();
becomes
void func(void);
This is the tenth batch of tests being updated (there are a
significant number of other tests left to be updated).

Other uses of forcing HasEmptyPlaceHolder to false seem OK to me -
they're all around pointer/reference types where the pointer/reference
token will appear at the rightmost side of the left side of the type
name, so they make nested types (eg: the "int" in "int *") behave as
though there is a non-empty placeholder (because the "*" is essentially
the placeholder as far as the "int" is concerned).
This was originally committed in 277623f4d5a672d707390e2c3eaf30a9eb4b075c
Reverted in f9ad1d1c775a8e264bebc15d75e0c6e5c20eefc7 due to breakages
outside of clang - lldb seems to have some strange/strong dependence on
"char [N]" versus "char[N]" when printing strings (not due to that name
appearing in DWARF, but probably due to using clang to stringify type
names) that'll need to be addressed, plus a few other odds and ends in
other subprojects (clang-tools-extra, compiler-rt, etc).
Looks like lldb has some issues with this - somehow it causes lldb to
treat a "char[N]" type as an array of chars (prints them out
individually) but a "char [N]" is printed as a string. (even though the
DWARF doesn't have this string in it - it's something to do with the
string lldb generates for itself using clang)

For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
Converting a pointer to an integer whose result cannot represented in the
integer type is undefined behavior is C and prohibited in C++. C++ already
has a diagnostic when casting. This adds a diagnostic for C.
Since this diagnostic uses the range of the conversion it also modifies
int-to-pointer-cast diagnostic to use a range.

Summary:
Clang -fpic defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition (GCC -fpic defaults
to -fsemantic-interposition).
Users need to specify -fsemantic-interposition to get semantic
interposition behavior.
Semantic interposition is currently a best-effort feature. There may
still be some cases where it is not handled well.

We can't use any other string, anyway, because its type wouldn't
match the type of the PredefinedExpr.
With this change, we don't compute a "nice" name for the __func__ global
when it's used in the initializer for a constant. This doesn't seem like
a great loss, and I'm not sure how to fix it without either storing more
information in the AST, or somehow threading through the information
from ExprConstant.cpp.
This could break some situations involving BlockDecl; currently,
CodeGenFunction::EmitPredefinedLValue has some logic to intentionally
emit a string different from what Sema computed. This code skips that
logic... but that logic can't work correctly in general anyway. (For
example, sizeof(__func__) returns the wrong result.) Hopefully this
doesn't affect practical code.

If a variable has an initializer, codegen tries to build its value. If
the variable is large in size, building its value requires substantial
resources. It causes strange behavior from user viewpoint: compilation
of huge zero initialized arrays like:
char data_1[2147483648u] = { 0 };
consumes enormous amount of time and memory.
With this change codegen tries to determine if variable initializer is
equivalent to zero initializer. In this case variable value is not
constructed.
This change fixes PR18978.

Given something like:
void *v = (void *)100;
We need to synthesize a ptrtoint operation from 100. During constant
emission, we choose i64 as the type for our constant because it
guaranteed not to drop any bits from our CharUnits representation of the
value. However, this is suboptimal for 32-bit targets: LLVM passes like
GlobalOpt will get confused by these sorts of casts resulting in
pessimization.
Instead, make sure the ptrtoint operand has a pointer-sized integer
type.

This reverts commit r220169 which reverted r220153. However, it also
contains additional changes:
- We may need to add padding *after* we've packed the struct. This
occurs when the aligned next field offset is greater than the new
field's offset. When this occurs, we make the struct packed.
*However*, once packed the next field offset might be less than the
new feild's offset. It is in this case that we might further pad the
struct.
- We would pad structs which were perfectly sized! This behavior is
immensely old. This behavior came from blindly subtracting
NextFieldOffsetInChars from RecordSize. This doesn't take into
account the fact that the struct might have a greater overall
alignment than the last field.

Before, ConstStructBuilder::AppendBytes would check packed constraints
prior to padding being added before the field's offset. However, adding
this padding might force our struct to be packed. Because we wouldn't
check *after* adding padding, ConstStructBuilder would be in an
inconsistent state leading to a crash.
This fixes PR21300.

stuff like this:

foo_t g;
into:

%struct.foo_t = type { i32, i32, i32 }

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it

a default target).
