Prepare libcxx and libcxxabi for pointer field protection.
Pointer field protection has the following characteristics:

- Pointer fields in RTTI types are unsigned. Signing these fields
  is unnecessary because PFP is a mechanism for protecting the heap,
  and the RTTI objects typically live in global variables. Therefore,
  mark the fields with the no_field_protection to inhibit PFP for these
  fields.

- libcxx's interim trivial relocatability implementation, which memcpy's
  some non-trivially-copyable objects according to the value of a trait,
  conflicts with PFP in tagged mode (in which the address of the pointer
  is used as part of the pointer encoding) by causing such copies to
  result in a crash in some cases where the object being copied includes
  a pointer field. These copies are undefined behavior. Therefore, make
  libcxx's trivially relocatable predicate simply return the value of
  the trivially copyable trait when PFP in tagged mode is enabled, which
  results in standards compliant behavior that is accommodated by PFP.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

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.
