This should speed up evaluating whether an expression is constant or
not, but due to the complexity of these two different implementations,
we may start getting different answers for edge cases for which we do
not yet have test cases in-tree (or perhaps even performance regressions
for some cases). As such, contributors have carte blanche to revert if
necessary.
For additional historical context about ExprConstant vs CGExprConstant,
here's snippets from a private conversation on discord:
ndesaulniers:
why do we have clang/lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp and
clang/lib/CodeGen/CGExprConstant.cpp? Does clang constant fold during
ast walking/creation AND during LLVM codegen?
efriedma:
originally, clang needed to handle two things: integer constant
expressions (the "5" in "int x[5];"), and constant global initializers
(the "5" in "int x = 5;"). pre-C++11, the two could be handled mostly
separately; so we had the code for integer constants in AST/, and the
code for globals in CodeGen/. C++11 constexpr sort of destroyed that
separation, though. so now we do both kinds of constant evaluation on
the AST, then CGExprConstant translates the result of that evaluation
to LLVM IR. but we kept around some bits of the old cgexprconstant to
avoid performance/memory usage regressions on large arrays.

This adds -no-opaque-pointers to clang tests whose output will
change when opaque pointers are enabled by default. This is
intended to be part of the migration approach described in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/enabling-opaque-pointers-by-default/61322/9.
The patch has been produced by replacing %clang_cc1 with
%clang_cc1 -no-opaque-pointers for tests that fail with opaque
pointers enabled. Worth noting that this doesn't cover all tests,
there's a remaining ~40 tests not using %clang_cc1 that will need
a followup change.

For a definition (of most linkage types), dso_local is set for ELF -fno-pic/-fpie
and COFF, but not for Mach-O. This nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
This patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `
if there is an explicit linkage.
* Clang will set dso_local for Mach-O, which is currently implied by TargetMachine.cpp. This will make COFF/Mach-O and executable ELF similar.
* Eventually I hope we can make dso_local the textual LLVM IR default (write explicit "dso_preemptable" when applicable) and -fpic ELF will be similar to everything else. This patch helps move toward that goal.
Classes can be defined in multiple translation units. This means that
the static constexpr data members should have identical initializers in
all translation units. Implement this by giving the reference temporary
linkonce_odr linkage.

Summary:
Update our mangling to match the discussion on cxx-abi-dev.
This involves using a seq-id instead of an optional number.

Summary:
Previously, we would generate a single name for all reference
temporaries and allow LLVM to rename them for us. Instead, number the
reference temporaries as we build them in Sema.

It is possible that a variable template specialization might not have a
VisibilityAttr attached to it while the template that it specializes
does, in fact, have one.
We should consider the template in such cases.
This fixes PR19597.

Summary:
A reference temporary should inherit the linkage of the variable it
initializes. Otherwise, we may hit cases where a reference temporary
wouldn't have the same value in all translation units.

handle temporaries which have been lifetime-extended to static storage duration
within constant expressions. This correctly handles nested lifetime extension
(through reference members of aggregates in aggregate initializers) but
non-constant-expression emission hasn't yet been updated to do the same.
