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 patch extends the canonicalization printing policy to cover
expressions
and template names, and wires that up to the template argument printer,
covering expressions, and to the expression within a dependent decltype.
This is helpful for debugging, or if these expressions somehow end up
in diagnostics, as without this patch they can print as completely
unrelated
expressions, which can be quite confusing.
This is because expressions are not uniqued, unlike types, and
when a template specialization containing an expression is the first to
be
canonicalized, the expression ends up appearing in the canonical type of
subsequent equivalent specializations.

Fixes a regression introduced in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/130537 and reported here
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/133144
This fixes a crash in ASTStructuralEquivalence where the non-null
precondition for IsStructurallyEquivalent would be violated, when
comparing member pointers with a dependent class.
This also drive-by fixes the ast node traverser for member pointers so
it doesn't traverse into the qualifier in case it's not a type, or the
class declaration in case it would be equivalent to what the qualifier
refers.
This avoids printing of `<<<NULL>>>` on the text node dumper, which is
redundant.
No release notes since the regression was never released.

Original PR: #130537
Originally reverted due to revert of dependent commit. Relanding with no
changes.
This changes the MemberPointerType representation to use a
NestedNameSpecifier instead of a Type to represent the base class.
Since the qualifiers are always parsed as nested names, there was an
impedance mismatch when converting these back and forth into types, and
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
improvements.

As usual, includes a few drive-by fixes in order to make use of the
improvements, and removing some duplications, for example
CheckBaseClassAccess is deduplicated from across SemaAccess and
SemaCast.
Class templates might be only instantiated when they are required to be
complete, but checking the template args against the primary template is
immediate.
This result is cached so that later when the class is instantiated,
checking against the primary template is not repeated.
The 'MatchedPackOnParmToNonPackOnArg' flag is also produced upon
checking against the primary template, so it needs to be cached in the
specialziation as well.
This fixes a bug which has not been in any release, so there are no
release notes.
Fixes#125290
Implements https://isocpp.org/files/papers/P2662R3.pdf
The feature is exposed as an extension in older language modes.
Mangling is not yet supported and that is something we will have to do before release.
Add coverage to demonstrate why including the type of template
parameters is necessary to disambiguate function template
specializations.

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)
This reverts commit 277623f4d5a672d707390e2c3eaf30a9eb4b075c.

This moves everything primarily testing the functionality of -ast-dump and -ast-print into their own directory, rather than leaving the tests spread around the testing directory.
