This change adds support for correctly lowering the `__scoped` Clang builtins, and corresponding scoped LLVM instructions. These were previously unconditionally lowered to Device scope, which is possibly incorrect. Furthermore, the default / implicit scope is changed from Device (an OpenCL assumption) to AllSvmDevices (aka System), since the SPIR-V BE is not OpenCL specific / can ingest IR coming from other language front-ends. OpenCL defaulting to Device scope is now reflected in the front-end handling of atomic ops, which seems preferable.
C language Family Front-end
Welcome to Clang.
This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++ and Objective-C) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project.
Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.
