Currently, places where we call __libcpp_allocate must drop type
information on the ground even when they actually have such information
available. That is unfortunate since some toolchains and system
allocators are able to provide improved security when they know what
type is being allocated.
This is the purpose of http://wg21.link/p2719, where we introduce a new
variant of `operator new` which takes a type in its interface. A
different but related issue is that `std::allocator` does not honor any
in-class `T::operator new` since it is specified to call the global
`::operator new` instead.
This patch closes the gap to make it trivial for implementations that
provide typed memory allocators to actually benefit from that
information in more contexts, and also makes libc++ forward-compatible
with future proposals that would fix the existing defects in
`std::allocator`. It also makes the internal allocation API higher level
by operating on objects instead of operating on bytes of memory.
Since this is a widely-used function and making this a template could
have an impact on debug info sizes, I tried minimizing the number of
templated layers by removing `__do_deallocate_handle_size`, which was
easy to replace with a macro (and IMO this leads to cleaner code).
Currently, the library-internal feature test macros are only defined if
the feature is not available, and always have the prefix
`_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_`. This patch changes that, so that they are always
defined and have the prefix `_LIBCPP_HAS_` instead. This changes the
canonical use of these macros to `#if _LIBCPP_HAS_FEATURE`, which means
that using an undefined macro (e.g. due to a missing include) is
diagnosed now. While this is rather unlikely currently, a similar change
in `<__configuration/availability.h>` caught a few bugs. This also
improves readability, since it removes the double-negation of `#ifndef
_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_FEATURE`.
The current patch only touches the macros defined in `<__config>`. If
people are happy with this approach, I'll make a follow-up PR to also
change the macros defined in `<__config_site>`.
Works towards P0619R4 / #99985.
The use of `std::get_temporary_buffer` and `std::return_temporary_buffer`
are replaced with `unique_ptr`-based RAII buffer holder.
Escape hatches:
- `_LIBCPP_ENABLE_CXX20_REMOVED_TEMPORARY_BUFFER` restores
`std::get_temporary_buffer` and `std::return_temporary_buffer`.
Drive-by changes:
- In `<syncstream>`, states that `get_temporary_buffer` is now removed,
because `<syncstream>` is added in C++20.
