This rename was made as part of
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/147835 in order to ease
rebasing the PR, and give a nice window for other patches to get rebased
as well.
It has been a while already, so lets go ahead and rename it back.
This changes a bunch of places which use getAs<TagType>, including
derived types, just to obtain the tag definition.
This is preparation for #155028, offloading all the changes that PR used
to introduce which don't depend on any new helpers.
This option is confusingly named. What it actually controls is whether,
under the default of `-ffloat16-excess-precision=standard`, it is
beneficial for performance to perform calculations on float (without
intermediate rounding) or not. For `-ffloat16-excess-precision=none` the
LLVM `half` type will always be used, and all backends are expected to
legalize it correctly.
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.

The CXX module initializer function, which is called at program startup,
needs to be tagged with Pointer Authentication and Branch Target
Identification marks whenever relevant.
Before this patch, in CPUs set up for PACBTI execution, the function
wasn't protected with return address signing and no BTI instruction was
inserted at the start of it, thus leading to an execution fault.
This patch fixes the issue by marking the function with the function
attributes related to PAC and BTI if relevant.
FPSCR and FPEXC will be stored in FPStatusRegs, after GPRCS2 has been
saved.
- GPRCS1
- GPRCS2
- FPStatusRegs (new)
- DPRCS
- GPRCS3
- DPRCS2
FPSCR is present on all targets with a VFP, but the FPEXC register is
not present on Cortex-M devices, so different amounts of bytes are
being pushed onto the stack depending on our target, which would
affect alignment for subsequent saves.
DPRCS1 will sum up all previous bytes that were saved, and will emit
extra instructions to ensure that its alignment is correct. My
assumption is that if DPRCS1 is able to correct its alignment to be
correct, then all subsequent saves will also have correct alignment.
Avoid annotating the saving of FPSCR and FPEXC for functions marked
with the interrupt_save_fp attribute, even though this is done as part
of frame setup. Since these are status registers, there really is no
viable way of annotating this. Since these aren't GPRs or DPRs, they
can't be used with .save or .vsave directives. Instead, just record
that the intermediate registers r4 and r5 are saved to the stack
again.

`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.

This patch does two things.
1. Previously, when checking driver arguments, we emitted an error for
unsupported values of `-mbranch-protection` when using pauthtest ABI.
The reason for that was ptrauth-returns being enabled as part of
pauthtest. This patch changes the check against pauthtest to a check
against ptrauth-returns.
2. Similarly, check against values of the following function attribute
which are unsupported with ptrauth-returns:
`__attribute__((target("branch-protection=XXX`. Note that existing
`validateBranchProtection` function is used, and current behavior is to
ignore the unsupported attribute value, so no error is emitted.
For C++ (but not C), empty structs should be passed to functions as if
they are a 1 byte object with 1 byte alignment.
This is defined in Arm's CPPABI32:
https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/cppabi32/cppabi32.rst
For the purposes of parameter passing in AAPCS32, a parameter whose
type is an empty class shall be treated as if its type were an
aggregate with a single member of type unsigned byte.
The AArch64 equivalent of this has an exception for structs containing
an array of size zero, I've kept that logic for ARM. I've not found a
reason for this exception, but I've checked that GCC does have the same
behaviour for ARM as it does for AArch64.
The AArch64 version has an Apple ABI with different rules, which ignores
empty structs in both C and C++. This is documented at
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/writing-arm64-code-for-apple-platforms.
The ARM equivalent of that appears to be AAPCS16_VFP, used for WatchOS,
but I can't find any documentation for that ABI, so I'm not sure what
rules it should follow. For now I've left it following the AArch64 Apple
rules.
Gentoo is planning to introduce a `*t64` suffix for triples that will be
used by 32-bit platforms that use 64-bit `time_t`. Add support for
parsing and accepting these triples, and while at it make clang
automatically enable the necessary glibc feature macros when this suffix
is used.
An open question is whether we can backport this to LLVM 19.x. After
all, adding new triplets to Triple sounds like an ABI change — though I
suppose we can minimize the risk of breaking something if we move new
enum values to the very end.
Update codegen for func param with transparent_union attr to be that of
the first union member.
This is a followup to #101738 to fix non-ppc codegen and closes#76773.
So far branch protection, sign return address, guarded control stack
attributes are
only emitted as module flags to indicate the functions need to be
generated with
those features.
The problem is in case of an LTO build the module flags are merged with
the `min`
rule which means if one of the module is not build with sign return
address then the features
will be turned off for all functions. Due to the functions take the
branch-protection and
sign-return-address features from the module flags. The
sign-return-address is
function level option therefore it is expected functions from files that
is
compiled with -mbranch-protection=pac-ret to be protected.
The inliner might inline functions with different set of flags as it
doesn't consider
the module flags.
This patch adds the attributes to all functions and drops the checking
of the module flags
for the code generation.
Module flag is still used for generating the ELF markers.
Also drops the "true"/"false" values from the
branch-protection-enforcement,
branch-protection-pauth-lr, guarded-control-stack attributes as presence
of the
attribute means it is on absence means off and no other option.
Releand with test fixes.

In PR #79382, I need to add a new type that derives from
ConstantArrayType. This means that ConstantArrayType can no longer use
`llvm::TrailingObjects` to store the trailing optional Expr*.
This change refactors ConstantArrayType to store a 60-bit integer and
4-bits for the integer size in bytes. This replaces the APInt field
previously in the type but preserves enough information to recreate it
where needed.
To reduce the number of places where the APInt is re-constructed I've
also added some helper methods to the ConstantArrayType to allow some
common use cases that operate on either the stored small integer or the
APInt as appropriate.
Resolves#85124.
Partial progress towards replacing `CreateElementBitCast`, as it no
longer does what its name suggests. Either replace its uses with
`Address::withElementType()`, or remove them if no longer needed.

This commit breaks up CodeGen/TargetInfo.cpp into a set of *.cpp files,
one file per target. There are no functional changes, mostly just code moving.
Non-code-moving changes are:
* A virtual destructor has been added to DefaultABIInfo to pin the vtable to a cpp file.
* A few methods of ABIInfo and DefaultABIInfo were split into declaration + definition
in order to reduce the number of transitive includes.
* Several functions that used to be static have been placed in clang::CodeGen
namespace so that they can be accessed from other cpp files.
