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 corrects the codegen for the final class optimization to
correct handle the case where there is no path to perform the
cast, and also corrects the codegen to handle ptrauth protected
vtable pointers.
As part of this fix we separate out the path computation as
that makes it easier to reason about the failure code paths
and more importantly means we can know what the type of the
this object is during the cast.
The allows us to use the GetVTablePointer interface which
correctly performs the authentication operations required when
pointer authentication is enabled. This still leaves incorrect
authentication behavior in the multiple inheritance case but
currently the optimization is disabled entirely if pointer
authentication is enabled.

Finding operator delete[] is still problematic, without it the extension
is a security hazard, so reverting until the problem with operator
delete[] is figured out.
This reverts the following PRs:
Reland [MS][clang] Add support for vector deleting destructors (llvm#133451)
[MS][clang] Make sure vector deleting dtor calls correct operator delete (llvm#133950)
[MS][clang] Fix crash on deletion of array of pointers (llvm#134088)
[clang] Do not diagnose unused deleted operator delete[] (llvm#134357)
[MS][clang] Error about ambiguous operator delete[] only when required (llvm#135041)
Sometimes a non-array delete is treated as delete[] when input pointer
is pointer to array. With vector deleting destructors support we now
generate a virtual destructor call instead of simple loop over the
elements. This patch adjusts the codepath that generates virtual call to
expect the case of pointer to array.
This is an expensive header, only include it where needed. Move some
functions out of line to achieve that.
This reduces time to build clang by ~0.5% in terms of instructions
retired.
Whereas it is UB in terms of the standard to delete an array of objects
via pointer whose static type doesn't match its dynamic type, MSVC
supports an extension allowing to do it.
Aside from array deletion not working correctly in the mentioned case,
currently not having this extension implemented causes clang to generate
code that is not compatible with the code generated by MSVC, because
clang always puts scalar deleting destructor to the vftable. This PR
aims to resolve these problems.

This changes the MemberPointerType representation to use a

Since the qualifiers are always parsed as nested names, there was an

this led to issues in preserving sugar.
The nested names are indeed a better match for these, as the differences
which a QualType can represent cannot be expressed syntatically, and
they represent the use case more exactly, being either dependent or
referring to a CXXRecord, unqualified.
This patch also makes the MemberPointerType able to represent sugar for
a {up/downcast}cast conversion of the base class, although for now the
underlying type is canonical, as preserving the sugar up to that point
requires further work.
As usual, includes a few drive-by fixes in order to make use of the

`sret` arguments are always going to reside in the stack/`alloca`
address space, which makes the current formulation where their AS is
derived from the pointee somewhat quaint. This patch ensures that `sret`
ends up pointing to the `alloca` AS in IR function signatures, and also
guards agains trying to pass a casted `alloca`d pointer to a `sret` arg,
which can happen for most languages, when compiled for targets that have
a non-zero `alloca` AS (e.g. AMDGCN) / map `LangAS::default` to a
non-zero value (SPIR-V). A target could still choose to do something
different here, by e.g. overriding `classifyReturnType` behaviour.
In a broader sense, this patch extends non-aliased indirect args to also
carry an AS, which leads to changing the `getIndirect()` interface. At
the moment we're only using this for (indirect) returns, but it allows
for future handling of indirect args themselves. We default to using the
AllocaAS as that matches what Clang is currently doing, however if, in
the future, a target would opt for e.g. placing indirect returns in some
other storage, with another AS, this will require revisiting.

Note that PointerUnion::dyn_cast has been soft deprecated in
PointerUnion.h:
// FIXME: Replace the uses of is(), get() and dyn_cast() with
// isa<T>, cast<T> and the llvm::dyn_cast<T>
Literal migration would result in dyn_cast_if_present (see the
definition of PointerUnion::dyn_cast), but this patch uses dyn_cast
because we expect E to be nonnull.
As part of the "RemoveDIs" project, BasicBlock::iterator now carries a
debug-info bit that's needed when getFirstNonPHI and similar feed into
instruction insertion positions. Call-sites where that's necessary were
updated a year ago; but to ensure some type safety however, we'd like to
have all calls to getFirstNonPHI use the iterator-returning version.
This patch changes a bunch of call-sites calling getFirstNonPHI to use
getFirstNonPHIIt, which returns an iterator. All these call sites are
where it's obviously safe to fetch the iterator then dereference it. A
follow-up patch will contain less-obviously-safe changes.
We'll eventually deprecate and remove the instruction-pointer
getFirstNonPHI, but not before adding concise documentation of what
considerations are needed (very few).

This patch is the frontend implementation of the coroutine elide
improvement project detailed in this discourse post:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/language-extension-for-better-more-deterministic-halo-for-c-coroutines/80044
This patch proposes a C++ struct/class attribute
`[[clang::coro_await_elidable]]`. This notion of await elidable task
gives developers and library authors a certainty that coroutine heap
elision happens in a predictable way.
Originally, after we lower a coroutine to LLVM IR, CoroElide is
responsible for analysis of whether an elision can happen. Take this as
an example:
```
Task foo();
Task bar() {
co_await foo();
}
```
For CoroElide to happen, the ramp function of `foo` must be inlined into
`bar`. This inlining happens after `foo` has been split but `bar` is
usually still a presplit coroutine. If `foo` is indeed a coroutine, the
inlined `coro.id` intrinsics of `foo` is visible within `bar`. CoroElide
then runs an analysis to figure out whether the SSA value of
`coro.begin()` of `foo` gets destroyed before `bar` terminates.
`Task` types are rarely simple enough for the destroy logic of the task
to reference the SSA value from `coro.begin()` directly. Hence, the pass
is very ineffective for even the most trivial C++ Task types. Improving
CoroElide by implementing more powerful analyses is possible, however it
doesn't give us the predictability when we expect elision to happen.
The approach we want to take with this language extension generally
originates from the philosophy that library implementations of `Task`
types has the control over the structured concurrency guarantees we
demand for elision to happen. That is, the lifetime for the callee's
frame is shorter to that of the caller.
The ``[[clang::coro_await_elidable]]`` is a class attribute which can be
applied to a coroutine return type.
When a coroutine function that returns such a type calls another
coroutine function, the compiler performs heap allocation elision when
the following conditions are all met:
- callee coroutine function returns a type that is annotated with
``[[clang::coro_await_elidable]]``.
- In caller coroutine, the return value of the callee is a prvalue that
is immediately `co_await`ed.
From the C++ perspective, it makes sense because we can ensure the
lifetime of elided callee cannot exceed that of the caller if we can
guarantee that the caller coroutine is never destroyed earlier than the
callee coroutine. This is not generally true for any C++ programs.
However, the library that implements `Task` types and executors may
provide this guarantee to the compiler, providing the user with
certainty that HALO will work on their programs.
After this patch, when compiling coroutines that return a type with such
attribute, the frontend checks that the type of the operand of
`co_await` expressions (not `operator co_await`). If it's also
attributed with `[[clang::coro_await_elidable]]`, the FE emits metadata
on the call or invoke instruction as a hint for a later middle end pass
to elide the elision.
The original patch version is
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/94693 and as suggested, the
patch is split into frontend and middle end solutions into stacked PRs.
The middle end CoroSplit patch can be found at
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/99283
The middle end transformation that performs the elide can be found at
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/99285
In incremental compilation clang works with multiple `llvm::Module`s.
Our current approach is to create a CodeGenModule entity for every new
module request (via StartModule). However, some of the state such as the
mangle context needs to be preserved to keep the original semantics in
the ever-growing TU.
Fixes: llvm/llvm-project#95581.

Virtual function pointer entries in v-tables are signed with address
discrimination in addition to declaration-based discrimination, where an
integer discriminator the string hash (see
`ptrauth_string_discriminator`) of the mangled name of the overridden
method. This notably provides diversity based on the full signature of
the overridden method, including the method name and parameter types.
This patch introduces ItaniumVTableContext logic to find the original
declaration of the overridden method.
On AArch64, these pointers are signed using the `IA` key (the
process-independent code key.)
V-table pointers can be signed with either no discrimination, or a
similar scheme using address and decl-based discrimination. In this
case, the integer discriminator is the string hash of the mangled
v-table identifier of the class that originally introduced the vtable
pointer.
On AArch64, these pointers are signed using the `DA` key (the
process-independent data key.)
Not using discrimination allows attackers to simply copy valid v-table
pointers from one object to another. However, using a uniform
discriminator of 0 does have positive performance and code-size
implications on AArch64, and diversity for the most important v-table
access pattern (virtual dispatch) is already better assured by the
signing schemas used on the virtual functions. It is also known that
some code in practice copies objects containing v-tables with `memcpy`,
and while this is not permitted formally, it is something that may be
invasive to eliminate.
This is controlled by:
```
-fptrauth-vtable-pointer-type-discrimination
-fptrauth-vtable-pointer-address-discrimination
```
In addition, this provides fine-grained controls in the
ptrauth_vtable_pointer attribute, which allows overriding the default
ptrauth schema for vtable pointers on a given class hierarchy, e.g.:
```
[[clang::ptrauth_vtable_pointer(no_authentication, no_address_discrimination,
no_extra_discrimination)]]
[[clang::ptrauth_vtable_pointer(default_key, default_address_discrimination,
custom_discrimination, 0xf00d)]]
```
The override is then mangled as a parametrized vendor extension:
```
"__vtptrauth" I
<key>
<addressDiscriminated>
<extraDiscriminator>
E
```
To support this attribute, this patch adds a small extension to the
attribute-emitter tablegen backend.
Note that there are known areas where signing is either missing
altogether or can be strengthened. Some will be addressed in later
changes (e.g., member function pointers, some RTTI).
`dynamic_cast` in particular is handled by emitting an artificial
v-table pointer load (in a way that always authenticates it) before the
runtime call itself, as the runtime doesn't have enough information
today to properly authenticate it. Instead, the runtime is currently
expected to strip the v-table pointer.

Used to implement CWG2191 where `typeid` for a polymorphic glvalue only
becomes potentially-throwing if the `typeid` operand was already
potentially throwing or a `nullptr` check was inserted:
https://cplusplus.github.io/CWG/issues/2191.html
Also change `Expr::hasSideEffects` for `CXXTypeidExpr` to check the
operand for side-effects instead of always reporting that there are
side-effects
Remove `IsDeref` parameter of `CGCXXABI::shouldTypeidBeNullChecked`
because it should never return `true` if `!IsDeref` (we shouldn't add a
null check that wasn't there in the first place)
For global functions and static methods the MSVC ABI returns
structs/classes with a deleted copy assignment operator indirectly.
From local testing this ABI holds true for all currently supported
architectures including ARM64EC.
To authenticate pointers, CodeGen needs access to the key and
discriminators that were used to sign the pointer. That information is
sometimes known from the context, but not always, which is why `Address`
needs to hold that information.
This patch adds methods and data members to `Address`, which will be
needed in subsequent patches to authenticate signed pointers, and uses
the newly added methods throughout CodeGen. Although this patch isn't
strictly NFC as it causes CodeGen to use different code paths in some
cases (e.g., `mergeAddressesInConditionalExpr`), it doesn't cause any
changes in functionality as it doesn't add any information needed for
authentication.
In addition to the changes mentioned above, this patch introduces class
`RawAddress`, which contains a pointer that we know is unsigned, and
adds several new functions for creating `Address` and `LValue` objects.
This reapplies d9a685a9dd589486e882b722e513ee7b8c84870c, which was
reverted because it broke ubsan bots. There seems to be a bug in
coroutine code-gen, which is causing EmitTypeCheck to use the wrong
alignment. For now, pass alignment zero to EmitTypeCheck so that it can
compute the correct alignment based on the passed type (see function
EmitCXXMemberOrOperatorMemberCallExpr).

We got a error:
`LLVM ERROR: Associative COMDAT symbol '??_7?$T@V<lambda_0>@@@@6B@' is

Current we create internal alias for vftable when lambd is used.
For the test, IR generate:
```
$"??_7?$T@V<lambda_0>@@$0A@@@6b@" = comdat any
@0 = private unnamed_addr constant { [2 x ptr] } { [2 x ptr] [ptr @"??_R4?$T@V<lambda_0>@@$0A@@@6b@", ptr @"?c@b@@UEAAXXZ"] }, comdat($"??_7?$T@V<lambda_0>@@$0A@@@6b@")
@"??_7?$T@V<lambda_0>@@$0A@@@6b@" = internal unnamed_addr alias ptr, getelementptr inbounds ({ [2 x ptr] }, ptr @0, i32 0, i32 0, i32 1)
```
According LLVM language reference manual section on COMDATs:
There are some restrictions on the properties of the global object. It,
or an alias to it, must have the same name as the COMDAT group when
targeting COFF. The contents and size of this object may be used during
link-time to determine which COMDAT groups get selected depending on the
selection kind. Because the name of the object must match the name of
the
COMDAT group, the linkage of the global object must not be local; local
symbols can get renamed if a collision occurs in the symbol table.
So one way to fix this is to not create comdat for the alias.
@0 = private unnamed_addr constant { [2 x ptr] } { [2 x ptr] [ptr
@"??_R4?$T@V<lambda_0>@@@@6B@", ptr @"?c@?$T@V<lambda_0>@@@@UEAAXXZ"] }
This patch converts `ImplicitParamDecl::ImplicitParamKind` into a scoped enum at namespace scope, making it eligible for forward declaring. This is useful for `preferred_type` annotations on bit-fields.
This patch introduces a new enumerator `Invalid = 0`, shifting other enumerators by +1. Contrary to how it might sound, this actually affirms status quo of how this enum is stored in `clang::Decl`:
```
/// If 0, we have not computed the linkage of this declaration.
/// Otherwise, it is the linkage + 1.
mutable unsigned CacheValidAndLinkage : 3;
```
This patch makes debuggers to not be mistaken about enumerator stored in this bit-field. It also converts `clang::Linkage` to a scoped enum.

- When the destination is a final class type that does not derive from
the source type, the cast always fails and is now emitted as a null
pointer or call to __cxa_bad_cast.
- When the destination is a final class type that does derive from the
source type, emit a direct comparison against the corresponding base
class vptr value(s). There may be more than one such value in the case
of multiple inheritance; check them all.
For now, this is supported only for the Itanium ABI. I expect the same thing is
possible for the MS ABI too, but I don't know what guarantees are made about
vfptr uniqueness.
