To support no-transitive-change model for named modules, we can't reuse type ID and identifier ID from imported modules arbitrarily. Since the theory for no-transitive-change model is, for a user of a named module, the user can only access the indirectly imported decls via the directly imported module. So that it is possible to control what matters to the users when writing the module. And it will be unsafe to do so if the users can reuse the type IDs and identifier IDs from the indirectly imported modules not via the directly imported modules. So in this patch, we don't reuse the type ID and identifier ID in the AST writer to avoid the problematic case.
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.
