In D148197, we have made `defvar` statement able to refer to class template arguments. However, the priority of class/multiclass template argument is higher than variables defined by `defvar`, which is a little counterintuitive. In this patch, we unify the priority of variables. Each pair of braces introduces a new scope, which may contain some additional variables like template arguments, loop iterators, etc. We can define local variables inside this scope via `defvar` and these variables are of higher priority than additional variables. This means that `defvar` will shadow additional variables with the same name. The scope can be nested, and we use the innermost variable. This make variables defined by `defvar` prior to class/multiclass template arguments, loop iterators, etc. The shadow rules now are: * `V` in a record body shadows a global `V`. * `V` in a record body shadows template argument `V`. * `V` in template arguments shadows a global `V`. * `V` in a `foreach` statement list shadows any `V` in surrounding record or global scopes.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
