## TL;DR
This is a stack of PRs implementing features to expose direct methods
ABI.
You can see the RFC, design, and discussion
[here](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-optimizing-code-size-of-objc-direct-by-exposing-function-symbols-and-moving-nil-checks-to-thunks/88866).
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/170616 Flag
`-fobjc-direct-precondition-thunk` set up
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/170617 Code refactoring to
ease later reviews
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/170618 **Thunk generation**
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/170619 Optimizations, some
class objects can be known to be realized
## Implementation details
### Dispatching
- `GetDirectMethodCallee` handles the dispatching logic. Previously we
only need to call `GenerateDirectMethod` to get the declaration of a
direct method.
- `GenerateDirectMethod` first attempts to acquire the declaration of
the implementation, and return it if the flag is not set.
- Generate and return thunk if we can't dispatch to true implementation
(i.e. we can't reason receiver is def not null or class object is not
realized)
### Precondition check thunk generation
- `GenerateObjCDirectThunk` generates the thunk, it is called on demand
by `GetDirectMethodCallee`
- Thunk inherits all attributes from the true implementation, see
`StartObjCDirectThunk` for more detail.
- `StartObjCDirectThunk` and `FinishObjCDirectThunk` follows the design
pattern of `StartThunk` and `FinishThunk` in CGVTable.
### Precondition check inline generation
- If the function need to have precondition check inlined
(`shouldHaveNilCheckInline`), caller will emit the nil check during
`EmitMessageSend`
- Class realization is generated inline
- No extra nil check is generated - we reuse `NullReturnState` to emit
the nil check for us, it already emits nil check at caller side to
handle `ns_consumed`, we just need to tell `NullReturnState` to do the
work by setting the flag `RequiresNullCheck |= ReceiverCanBeNull;`
### Visibility and linkage
- Visibility is still by default `Hidden`. But `StartObjCMethod` will
now respect source level visibility attributes so methods with
`__attribute((visibility("default"))` can be used in other linking units
- Linkage is by default `External`
## Tests
- `expose-direct-method.m` follow the example of `direct-method.m`
- `direct-method-ret-mismatch.m` make sure we can handle the corner case
- `expose-direct-method-consumed.m ` and
`expose-direct-method-linkedlist.m` executable test on Mac only to
validate ARC correctness
- `expose-direct-method-varargs.m`
- `expose-direct-method-visibility-linkage.m`
When targeting runtimes that support constant literal classes, emit ObjC
literal expressions @(number), @[], and @{} as compile-time constant
data structures rather than runtime msgSend calls. This reduces code
size and runtime overhead at the cost of increased data segment size,
and avoids repeated heap allocation of equivalent literal objects.
The feature is not supported with the fragile ABI or GNU runtimes, where
it is automatically disabled.
The feature can be disabled altogether with -fno-objc-constant-literals,
or individually per literal kind:
-fno-constant-nsnumber-literals
-fno-constant-nsarray-literals
-fno-constant-nsdictionary-literals
Custom backing class names can be specified via:
-fconstant-array-class=<name>
-fconstant-dictionary-class=<name>
-fconstant-integer-number-class=<name>
-fconstant-float-number-class=<name>
-fconstant-double-number-class=<name>

It is supported in GlobalISel there. On X86, we always kick to
SelectionDAG anyway, so there is no point in not doing it for X86 too.
I do not have merge permissions.
This implements support for [named
loops](https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3355.htm) for
C2y.
When parsing a `LabelStmt`, we create the `LabeDecl` early before we parse
the substatement; this label is then passed down to `ParseWhileStatement()`
and friends, which then store it in the loop’s (or switch statement’s) `Scope`;
when we encounter a `break/continue` statement, we perform a lookup for
the label (and error if it doesn’t exist), and then walk the scope stack and
check if there is a scope whose preceding label is the target label, which
identifies the jump target.
The feature is only supported in C2y mode, though a cc1-only option
exists for testing (`-fnamed-loops`), which is mostly intended to try
and make sure that we don’t have to refactor this entire implementation
when/if we start supporting it in C++.

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 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.

This extends https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/138577 to more UBSan checks, by changing SanitizerDebugLocation (formerly SanitizerScope) to add annotations if enabled for the specified ordinals.
Annotations will use the ordinal name if there is exactly one ordinal specified in the SanitizerDebugLocation; otherwise, it will use the handler name.

The InstrProf headers are very expensive. Avoid including them in all of
CodeGen/ by moving the CodeGenPGO member behind a unqiue_ptr.
This reduces clang build time by 0.8%.
The `Checked` parameter of `CodeGenFunction::EmitCheck` is of type
`ArrayRef<std::pair<llvm::Value *, SanitizerMask>>`, which is overly
generalized: SanitizerMask can denote that zero or more sanitizers are
enabled, but `EmitCheck` requires that exactly one sanitizer is
specified in the SanitizerMask (e.g.,
`SanitizeTrap.has(Checked[i].second)` enforces that).
This patch replaces SanitizerMask with SanitizerOrdinal in the `Checked`
parameter of `EmitCheck` and code that transitively relies on it. This
should not affect the behavior of UBSan, but it has the advantages that:
- the code is clearer: it avoids ambiguity in EmitCheck about what to do
if multiple bits are set
- specifying the wrong number of sanitizers in `Checked[i].second` will
be detected as a compile-time error, rather than a runtime assertion
failure
Suggested by Vitaly in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/122392
as an alternative to adding an explicit runtime assertion that the
SanitizerMask contains exactly one sanitizer.
As part of the LLVM effort to eliminate debug-info intrinsics, we're
moving to a world where only iterators should be used to insert
instructions. This isn't a problem in clang when instructions get
generated before any debug-info is inserted, however we're planning on
deprecating and removing the instruction-pointer insertion routines.
Scatter some calls to getIterator in a few places, remove a
deref-then-addrof on another iterator, and add an overload for the
createLoadInstBefore utility. Some callers passes a null insertion
point, which we need to handle explicitly now.
When accessing data in the buffer, we know we won't overrun the buffer,
so we know it is inbounds. In addition, we know that the addition to
increase the index is also NUW because the buffer's end has to be
unsigned-greater-than 0, which becomes untrue if the bounds ever has an
unsigned wrap.
Uses the new InsertPosition class (added in #94226) to simplify some of
the IRBuilder interface, and removes the need to pass a BasicBlock
alongside a BasicBlock::iterator, using the fact that we can now get the
parent basic block from the iterator even if it points to the sentinel.
This patch removes the BasicBlock argument from each constructor or call
to setInsertPoint.
This has no functional effect, but later on as we look to remove the
`Instruction *InsertBefore` argument from instruction-creation
(discussed
[here](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/psa-instruction-constructors-changing-to-iterator-only-insertion/77845)),
this will simplify the process by allowing us to deprecate the
InsertPosition constructor directly and catch all the cases where we use
instructions rather than iterators.
This is in effect a revert of f139ae3d93797, as we have since gained a
more sophisticated way of doing extra IRGen with the addition of
RawAddress in #86923.
To authenticate pointers, CodeGen needs access to the key and
discriminators that were used to sign the pointer. That information is
sometimes known from the context, but not always, which is why `Address`
needs to hold that information.
This patch adds methods and data members to `Address`, which will be
needed in subsequent patches to authenticate signed pointers, and uses
the newly added methods throughout CodeGen. Although this patch isn't
strictly NFC as it causes CodeGen to use different code paths in some
cases (e.g., `mergeAddressesInConditionalExpr`), it doesn't cause any
changes in functionality as it doesn't add any information needed for
authentication.
In addition to the changes mentioned above, this patch introduces class
`RawAddress`, which contains a pointer that we know is unsigned, and
adds several new functions for creating `Address` and `LValue` objects.
This reapplies d9a685a9dd589486e882b722e513ee7b8c84870c, which was
reverted because it broke ubsan bots. There seems to be a bug in
coroutine code-gen, which is causing EmitTypeCheck to use the wrong
alignment. For now, pass alignment zero to EmitTypeCheck so that it can
compute the correct alignment based on the passed type (see function
EmitCXXMemberOrOperatorMemberCallExpr).

This patch moves `ArraySizeModifier` before `Type` declaration so that it's complete at `ArrayTypeBitfields` declaration. It's also converted to scoped enum along the way.
This change adds the PLATFORM XMACRO to simplify the addition of new MachO
platforms and reduce the number of required changes. Many of the changes needed
for adding a new platform are mechanical, such as adding new cases to a switch
statement. This will help streamline the process by consolidating much of the
necessary information into the MachO.def file.
Fix static analyzer concern about null value
dereference. InterfacePointerType is dereferenced
and should not be null.

On targets where ptrdiff_t is smaller than long, clang crashes when emitting
synthesized getters/setters that call objc_[gs]etProperty. Explicitly emit a
zext/trunc of the ivar offset value (which is defined to long) to ptrdiff_t,
which objc_[gs]etProperty takes.
Add a test using the AVR target, where ptrdiff_t is smaller than long. Test
failed previously and passes now.

functions in getter/setter functions of non-trivial C struct properties
This fixes a bug where the getter/setter functions were doing a trivial
copy instead of calling the synthesized functions that copy non-trivial
C struct types.

This fixes a bug from https://reviews.llvm.org/D131424 that removed the implicit `_cmd` parameter as an argument to `objc_direct` method implementations. In many cases the generated getter/setter will call `objc_getProperty` or `objc_setProperty`, both of which require the selector of the getter/setter; since `_cmd` didn't automatically have backing storage, attempting to load the address asserted.
For direct property generated getters/setters, this now passes an undefined/uninitialized/poison value as the `_cmd` argument to `objc_getProperty`/`objc_setProperty`. Prior to removing the `_cmd` argument from the ABI of direct methods, it was left uninitialized/undefined; although references within hand-implemented methods would load the selector in the method prologue, generated getters/setters never did and just forwarded the undefined value that was passed as the argument.
This change keeps the generated code mostly similar to before, passing an uninitialized/undefined/poison value; for setters, the value argument may be moved to another register.
Added a test that triggers the assert prior to the implementation code.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D135091
When `objc_direct` methods were implemented, the implicit `_cmd` parameter was left as an argument to the method implementation function, but was unset by callers; if the method body referenced the `_cmd` variable, a selector load would be emitted inside the body. However, this leaves an unused argument in the ABI, and is unnecessary.
This change removes the empty/unset argument, and if `_cmd` is referenced inside an `objc_direct` method it will emit local storage for the implicit variable. From the ABI perspective, `objc_direct` methods will have the implicit `self` parameter, immediately followed by whatever explicit arguments are defined on the method, rather than having one unset/undefined register in the middle.

LLVM contains a helpful function for getting the size of a C-style
array: `llvm::array_lengthof`. This is useful prior to C++17, but not as
helpful for C++17 or later: `std::size` already has support for C-style
arrays.
Change call sites to use `std::size` instead. Leave the few call sites that
use a locally defined `array_lengthof` that are meant to test previous bugs
with NTTPs in clang analyzer and SemaTemplate.
