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.

Instead of manually adding a note pointing to the relevant template
parameter to every relevant error, which is very easy to miss, this
patch adds a new instantiation context note, so that this can work using
RAII magic.
This fixes a bunch of places where these notes were missing, and is more
future-proof.
Some diagnostics are reworked to make better use of this note:
- Errors about missing template arguments now refer to the parameter
which is missing an argument.
- Template Template parameter mismatches now refer to template
parameters as parameters instead of arguments.
It's likely this will add the note to some diagnostics where the
parameter is not super relevant, but this can be reworked with time and
the decrease in maintenance burden makes up for it.
This bypasses the templight dumper for the new context entry, as the
tests are very hard to update.
This depends on #125453, which is needed to avoid losing the context
note for errors occuring during template argument deduction.
Since #93433, we have switched to `QualifiedTemplateName`s in more
situations to preserve sugars in diagnostics. However, there is one
missed case in typo correction that might not meet the expectation in
`CheckDeductionGuideDeclarator()`.
Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/107887
When parsing the following construct, we parse it as an erroneous
deduction guide declaration and correctly diagnose the issues with it.
template<class> struct B;
struct A { B() noexcept(false); };
However, we then go on to finish late parsing the declaration and this
expects that what we've parsed is a CXXMethodDecl. A
CXXDeductionGuideDecl is not a CXXMethodDecl (it's a FunctionDecl), and
so we assert on the cast.
This fixes the crash by switching from cast<> to dyn_cast<> and not
setting up a "this" scope when the declaration is not a CXXMethodDecl.
This fixes PR49735.
Summary:
As the title says, this makes following code compile:
```
template<typename> struct Foo {};
Foo() -> Foo<void>;
Foo f; // ok
```
Thanks Nicolas Lesser for coining the fix.

Specifically, we would not properly parse these types within template arguments
(for non-type template parameters), and in tentative parses. Fixing both of
these essentially requires that we parse deduced template specialization types
as types in all contexts, even in template argument lists -- in particular,
tentative parsing may look ahead and annotate a deduced template specialization
type before we figure out that we're actually supposed to treat the tokens as a
template-name. We deal with this by simply permitting deduced template
specialization types when parsing template arguments, and converting them to
template template arguments.

function-style cast.
This fires for cases such as
T(x);
... where 'x' was previously declared and T is a type. This construct declares
a variable named 'x' rather than the (probably expected) interpretation of a
function-style cast of 'x' to T.

such guides below explicit ones, and ensure that references to the class's
template parameters are not treated as forwarding references.
We make a few tweaks to the wording in the current standard:
1) The constructor parameter list is copied faithfully to the deduction guide,
without losing default arguments or a varargs ellipsis (which the standard
wording loses by omission).
2) If the class template declares no constructors, we add a T() -> T<...> guide
(which will only ever work if T has default arguments for all non-pack
template parameters).
3) If the class template declares nothing that looks like a copy or move
constructor, we add a T(T<...>) -> T<...> guide.
#2 and #3 follow from the "pretend we had a class type with these constructors"
philosophy for deduction guides.

It's actually meaningful and useful to allow such variables to have no
initializer, but we are strictly following the standard here until the C++
committee reaches consensus on allowing this.
llvm-svn: 294785
This change adds a new type node, DeducedTemplateSpecializationType, to
represent a type template name that has been used as a type. This is modeled
around AutoType, and shares a common base class for representing a deduced
placeholder type.
We allow deduced class template types in a few more places than the standard
does: in conditions and for-range-declarators, and in new-type-ids. This is
consistent with GCC and with discussion on the core reflector. This patch
does not yet support deduced class template types being named in typename
specifiers.
