This reverts commit c3ba6f378ef80d750e2278560c6f95a300114412.
We are seeing performance regressions of up to 40% on some compilations
with this patch, we will investigate and reland after fixing performance
issues.
…ecord level.
This fixes the incorrect diagnostic emitted when compiling the following
snippet
```
// string_view.h
template<class _CharT>
class basic_string_view;
typedef basic_string_view<char> string_view;
template<class _CharT>
class
__attribute__((__preferred_name__(string_view)))
basic_string_view {
public:
basic_string_view()
{
}
};
inline basic_string_view<char> foo()
{
return basic_string_view<char>();
}
// A.cppm
module;
#include "string_view.h"
export module A;
// Use.cppm
module;
#include "string_view.h"
export module Use;
import A;
```
The diagnostic is
```
string_view.h:11:5: error: 'basic_string_view<char>::basic_string_view' from module 'A.<global>' is not present in definition of 'string_view' provided earlier
```
The underlying issue is that deserialization of the `preferred_name`
attribute triggers deserialization of `basic_string_view<char>`, which
triggers the deserialization of the `preferred_name` attribute again
(since it's attached to the `basic_string_view` template).
The deserialization logic is implemented in a way that prevents it from
going on a loop in a literal sense (it detects early on that it has
already seen the `string_view` typedef when trying to start its
deserialization for the second time), but leaves the typedef
deserialization in an unfinished state. Subsequently, the `string_view`
typedef from the deserialized module cannot be merged with the same
typedef from `string_view.h`, resulting in the above diagnostic.
This PR resolves the problem by delaying the deserialization of the
`preferred_name` attribute until the deserialization of the
`basic_string_view` template is completed. As a result of deferring, the
deserialization of the `preferred_name` attribute doesn't need to go on
a loop since the type of the `string_view` typedef is already known when
it's deserialized.
Following of https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/76930
This follows the idea of "only writes what we writes", which I think is
the most natural and efficient way to implement this optimization.
We start writing the BMI from the first declaration in module purview
instead of the global module fragment, so that everything in the GMF
untouched won't be written in the BMI naturally.
The exception is, as I said in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/76930, when we write a
declaration we need to write its decl context, and when we write the
decl context, we need to write everything from it. So when we see
`std::vector`, we basically need to write everything under namespace
std. This violates our intention. To fix this, this patch delays the
writing of namespace in the GMF.
From my local measurement, the size of the BMI decrease to 90M from 112M
for a local modules build. I think this is significant.
This feature will be covered under the experimental reduced BMI so that
it won't affect any existing users. So I'd like to land this when the CI
gets green.
Documents will be added seperately.

This patch introduces reduced BMI, which doesn't contain the definitions
of functions and variables if its definitions won't contribute to the
ABI.
Testing is a big part of the patch. We want to make sure the reduced BMI
contains the same behavior with the existing and relatively stable
fatBMI. This is pretty helpful for further reduction.
The user interfaces part it left to following patches to ease the
reviewing.
Currently, the use of preferred_name would block implementing std
modules in libcxx. See https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56490
for example.
The problem is pretty hard and it looks like we couldn't solve it in a
short time. So we sent this patch as a workaround to avoid blocking us
to modularize STL. This is intended to be fixed properly in the future.
