Just because an attribute is a statement attribute doesn't mean it's
not also a declaration attribute. In Clang, there are not currently any
DeclOrStmtAttr attributes that require mutual exclusion checking, but
downstream clients discovered this issue.
Currently, when one or more attributes are mutually exclusive, the
developer adding the attribute has to manually emit diagnostics. In
practice, this is highly error prone, especially for declaration
attributes, because such checking is not trivial. Redeclarations
require you to write a "merge" function to diagnose mutually exclusive
attributes and most attributes get this wrong.
This patch introduces a table-generated way to specify that a group of
two or more attributes are mutually exclusive:
def : MutualExclusions<[Attr1, Attr2, Attr3]>;
This works for both statement and declaration attributes (but not type
attributes) and the checking is done either from the common attribute
diagnostic checking code or from within mergeDeclAttribute() when
merging redeclarations.

There are two factory functions used to create a semantic attribute,
Create() and CreateImplicit(). CreateImplicit() does not need to
specify the source range of the attribute since it's an implicitly-

this removes the default argument from those declarations to avoid
accidentally creating a semantic attribute without source location

Similar to the previous patch, this doesn't convert *all* the classes that

This defines two node archetypes with trivial class definitions:
- Alternatives: the generated abstract classes are trivial as all
functionality is via LLVM RTTI
- Unconstrained: this is a placeholder, I think all of these are going to be
Lists but today they have no special accessors etc, so we just say
"could contain anything", and migrate them one-by-one to Sequence later.
Compared to Dmitri's prototype, Nodes.td looks more like a class hierarchy and
less like a grammar. (E.g. variants list the Alternatives parent rather than
vice versa).
The main reasons for this:
- the hierarchy is an important part of the API we want direct control over.
- e.g. we may introduce abstract bases like "loop" that the grammar doesn't
care about in order to model is-a concepts that might make refactorings
more expressive. This is less natural in a grammar-like idiom.
- e.g. we're likely to have to model some alternatives as variants and others
as class hierarchies, the choice will probably be based on natural is-a
relationships.
- it reduces the cognitive load of switching from editing *.td to working with
code that uses the generated classes

Checker dependencies were added D54438 to solve a bug where the checker names
were incorrectly registered, for example, InnerPointerChecker would incorrectly
emit diagnostics under the name MallocChecker, or vice versa [1]. Since the
system over the course of about a year matured, our expectations of what a role
of a dependency and a dependent checker should be crystallized a bit more --
D77474 and its summary, as well as a variety of patches in the stack
demonstrates how we try to keep dependencies to play a purely modeling role. In
fact, D78126 outright forbids diagnostics under a dependency checkers name.
These dependencies ensured the registration order and enabling only when all
dependencies are satisfied. This was a very "strong" contract however, that
doesn't fit the dependency added in D79420. As its summary suggests, this
relation is directly in between diagnostics, not modeling -- we'd prefer a more
specific warning over a general one.
To support this, I added a new dependency kind, weak dependencies. These are not
as strict of a contract, they only express a preference in registration order.
If a weak dependency isn't satisfied, the checker may still be enabled, but if
it is, checker registration, and transitively, checker callback evaluation order
is ensured.
If you are not familiar with the TableGen changes, a rather short description
can be found in the summary of D75360. A lengthier one is in D58065.

These cases all follow the same pattern:

But 'friend class X;' injects 'X' into the surrounding namespace scope,
rather than introducing a class member. So the second 'class X {}' is a
completely different type, which changes the meaning of the earlier name
'X' from '::X' to 'A::X'.
Additionally, the friend declaration is pointless -- members of a class
don't need to be befriended to be able to access private members.
GCC 10.1 introduced support for the [[]] style spelling of attributes in C

C++ mode, it now supports the same spelling in C mode as well. This patch
makes a change in Clang so that when you use the GCC attribute spelling,
the attribute is automatically available in all three spellings by default.
However, like Clang, GCC has some attributes it only recognizes in C++ mode
(specifically, abi_tag and init_priority), which this patch also honors.
The reinterpret builtins are generated separately because they
need the cross product of all types, 121 functions in total,

Summary:
Range checks were not properly performed in the lane arguments of Neon
intrinsics implemented based on splat operations. Calls to those
intrinsics where translated to `__builtin__shufflevector` calls directly
by the pre-processor through the arm_neon.h macros, missing the chance
for the proper range checks.
This patch enables the range check by introducing an auxiliary splat
instruction in arm_neon.td, delaying the translation to shufflevector
calls to CGBuiltin.cpp in clang after the checks were performed.

Summary:
As multiple versions of the same Neon intrinsic can be created through
the same TableGen definition with the same argument types, the existing
`call` operator is not always able to properly perform overload
resolutions.
As these different intrinsic versions are differentiated later on by the
NeonEmitter through name mangling, this patch introduces a new
`call_mangled` operator to the TableGen definitions, which allows a call
for an otherwise ambiguous intrinsic by matching its mangled name with
the mangled variation of the caller.

Reworked the patch to avoid sharing a header (SVETypeFlags.h) between
include/clang/Basic and utils/TableGen/SveEmitter.cpp. Now the patch
generates the enum/flags which is included in TargetBuiltins.h.
Also renamed one of the SveEmitter options to be in line with MVE.
Summary:
This is a first patch in a series for the SveEmitter to generate the arm_sve.h
header file and builtins.
I've tried my best to strip down this patch as best as I could, but there
are still a few changes that are not necessarily exercised by the load intrinsics
in this patch, mostly around the SVEType class which has some common logic to
represent types from a type and prototype string. I thought it didn't make
much sense to remove that from this patch and split it up.
Discovered in a downstream, it is often useful to have slightly
different semantics for an attribute based on its namespace, however our
spelling infrastructure doesn't consider namespace when deciding to
elide the enum list. The result is that the solution for a case where
an attribute has slightly different semantics based on a namespace
requires checking against the integer value, which is fragile.
This patch makes us always emit the spelling enum if there is more than
1 and we're generating the header.

Summary:
These are in some sense the inverse of vmovl[bt]q: they take a vector
of n wide elements and truncate each to half its width. So they only
write half a vector's worth of output data, and therefore they also
take an 'inactive' parameter to provide the other half of the data in
the output vector. So vmovnb overwrites the even lanes of 'inactive'
with the narrowed values from the main input, and vmovnt overwrites
the odd lanes.
LLVM had existing codegen which generates these MVE instructions in
response to IR that takes two vectors of wide elements, or two vectors
of narrow ones. But in this case, we have one vector of each. So my
clang codegen strategy is to narrow the input vector of wide elements
by simply reinterpreting it as the output type, and then we have two
narrow vectors and can represent the operation as a vector shuffle
that interleaves lanes from both of them.
Even so, not all the cases I needed ended up being selected as a
single MVE instruction, so I've added a couple more patterns that spot
combinations of the 'MVEvmovn' and 'ARMvrev32' SDNodes which can be
generated as a VMOVN instruction with operands swapped.
This commit adds the unpredicated forms only.

This patch implements an almost complete handling of OpenMP
contexts/traits such that we can reuse most of the logic in Flang
through the OMPContext.{h,cpp} in llvm/Frontend/OpenMP.
All but construct SIMD specifiers, e.g., inbranch, and the device ISA
selector are define in `llvm/lib/Frontend/OpenMP/OMPKinds.def`. From
these definitions we generate the enum classes `TraitSet`,
`TraitSelector`, and `TraitProperty` as well as conversion and helper
functions in `llvm/lib/Frontend/OpenMP/OMPContext.{h,cpp}`.
The above enum classes are used in the parser, sema, and the AST
attribute. The latter is not a collection of multiple primitive variant
arguments that contain encodings via numbers and strings but instead a
tree that mirrors the `match` clause (see `struct OpenMPTraitInfo`).
The changes to the parser make it more forgiving when wrong syntax is
read and they also resulted in more specialized diagnostics. The tests
are updated and the core issues are detected as before. Here and
elsewhere this patch tries to be generic, thus we do not distinguish
what selector set, selector, or property is parsed except if they do
behave exceptionally, as for example `user={condition(EXPR)}` does.
The sema logic changed in two ways: First, the OMPDeclareVariantAttr
representation changed, as mentioned above, and the sema was adjusted to
work with the new `OpenMPTraitInfo`. Second, the matching and scoring
logic moved into `OMPContext.{h,cpp}`. It is implemented on a flat
representation of the `match` clause that is not tied to clang.
`OpenMPTraitInfo` provides a method to generate this flat structure (see
`struct VariantMatchInfo`) by computing integer score values and boolean
user conditions from the `clang::Expr` we keep for them.
The OpenMP context is now an explicit object (see `struct OMPContext`).
This is in anticipation of construct traits that need to be tracked. The
OpenMP context, as well as the `VariantMatchInfo`, are basically made up
of a set of active or respectively required traits, e.g., 'host', and an
ordered container of constructs which allows duplication. Matching and
scoring is kept as generic as possible to allow easy extension in the
future.
---
Test changes:
The messages checked in `OpenMP/declare_variant_messages.{c,cpp}` have
been auto generated to match the new warnings and notes of the parser.
The "subset" checks were reversed causing the wrong version to be
picked. The tests have been adjusted to correct this.
We do not print scores if the user did not provide one.
We print spaces to make lists in the `match` clause more legible.

Reduce the size of some of the TableGen'ed OpenCL builtin function
tables:
- Use bit fields for bools such that they are packed together. This
saves about 7kb.
- Use unsigned short for SignatureTable. This saves about 10kb.
Summary:
These instructions generate a vector of consecutive elements starting
from a given base value and incrementing by 1, 2, 4 or 8. The `wdup`
versions also wrap the values back to zero when they reach a given
limit value. The instruction updates the scalar base register so that
another use of the same instruction will continue the sequence from
where the previous one left off.
At the IR level, I've represented these instructions as a family of
target-specific intrinsics with two return values (the constructed
vector and the updated base). The user-facing ACLE API provides a set
of intrinsics that throw away the written-back base and another set
that receive it as a pointer so they can update it, plus the usual
predicated versions.
Because the intrinsics return two values (as do the underlying
instructions), the isel has to be done in C++.
This is the first family of MVE intrinsics that use the `imm_1248`
immediate type in the clang Tablegen framework, so naturally, I found
I'd given it the wrong C integer type. Also added some tests of the
check that the immediate has a legal value, because this is the first
time those particular checks have been exercised.
Finally, I also had to fix a bug in MveEmitter which failed an
assertion when I nested two `seq` nodes (the inner one used to extract
the two values from the pair returned by the IR intrinsic, and the
outer one put on by the predication multiclass).

This is how it should've been and brings it more in line with

This is mostly mechanical from a custom clang-tidy check, with a lot of
manual fixups. It uncovers a lot of minor inefficiencies.
This doesn't actually modify StringRef yet, I'll do that in a follow-up.
Summary:
Apparently nobody has tried this in months of development. It turns
out that `FunctionDecl::getBuiltinID` will never consider a function
to be a builtin if it is in C++ and not extern "C". So none of the
function declarations in <arm_mve.h> are recognized as builtins when
clang is compiling in C++ mode: it just emits calls to them as
ordinary functions, which then turn out not to exist at link time.
The trivial fix is to wrap most of arm_mve.h in an extern "C".
Added a test in clang/test/CodeGen/arm-mve-intrinsics which checks
basic functioning of the MVE header file in C++ mode. I've filled it
with copies of existing test functions from other files in that
directory, including a few moderately tricky cases of overloading (in
particular one that relies on the strict-polymorphism attribute added
in D72518).
(I considered making //every// test in that directory compile in both
C and C++ mode and check the code generation was identical. But I
think that would increase testing time by more than the value it adds,
and also update_cc_test_checks gets confused when the output function
name varies between RUN lines.)

Summary:
Immediate vmvnq is code-generated as a simple vector constant in IR,
and left to the backend to recognize that it can be created with an
MVE VMVN instruction. The predicated version is represented as a
select between the input and the same constant, and I've added a
Tablegen isel rule to turn that into a predicated VMVN. (That should
be better than the previous VMVN + VPSEL: it's the same number of
instructions but now it can fold into an adjacent VPT block.)
The unpredicated forms of VBIC and VORR are done by enabling the same
isel lowering as for NEON, recognizing appropriate immediates and
rewriting them as ARMISD::VBICIMM / ARMISD::VORRIMM SDNodes, which I
then instruction-select into the right MVE instructions (now that I've
also reworked those instructions to use the same MC operand encoding).
In order to do that, I had to promote the Tablegen SDNode instance
`NEONvorrImm` to a general `ARMvorrImm` available in MVE as well, and
similarly for `NEONvbicImm`.
The predicated forms of VBIC and VORR are represented as a vector
select between the original input vector and the output of the
unpredicated operation. The main convenience of this is that it still
lets me use the existing isel lowering for VBICIMM/VORRIMM, and not
have to write another copy of the operand encoding translation code.
This intrinsic family is the first to use the `imm_simd` system I put
into the MveEmitter tablegen backend. So, naturally, it showed up a
bug or two (emitting bogus range checks and the like). Fixed those,
and added a full set of tests for the permissible immediates in the
existing Sema test.
Also adjusted the isel pattern for `vmovlb.u8`, which stopped matching
because lowering started turning its input into a VBICIMM. Now it
recognizes the VBICIMM instead.

This is applied to the vector types defined in <arm_mve.h> for use

Its purpose is to inhibit lax vector conversions, but only in the
context of overload resolution of the MVE polymorphic intrinsic
functions. This solves an ambiguity problem with polymorphic MVE
intrinsics that take a vector and a scalar argument: the scalar
argument can often have the wrong integer type due to default integer
promotions or unsuffixed literals, and therefore, the type of the
vector argument should be considered trustworthy when resolving MVE
polymorphism.

This batch of intrinsics covers two sets of immediate shift
instructions, which have in common that they only overwrite part of
their output register and so they need an extra input giving its
previous value.
The VSLI and VSRI instructions shift each lane of the input vector
left or right just as if they were normal immediate VSHL/VSHR, but
then they only overwrite the output bits that correspond to actual
shifted bits of the input. So VSLI will leave the low n bits of each
output lane unchanged, and VSRI the same with the top n bits.
The V[Q][R]SHR[U]N family are all narrowing shifts: they take an input
vector of 2n-bit integers, shift each lane right by a constant, and
then narrowing the shifted result to only n bits. So they only
overwrite half of the n-bit lanes in the output register, and the B/T
suffix indicates whether it's the bottom or top half of each 2n-bit
lane.
I've implemented the whole of the latter family using a single IR
intrinsic `vshrn`, which takes a lot of i32 parameters indicating
which instruction it expands to (by specifying signedness of the input
and output types, whether it saturates and/or rounds, etc).

Summary:
The ACLE intrinsics with `gather_base` or `scatter_base` in the name
are wrappers on the MVE load/store instructions that take a vector of
base addresses and an immediate offset. The immediate offset can be up
to 127 times the alignment unit, and it can be positive or negative.
At the MC layer, we got that right. But in the Sema error checking for
the wrapping intrinsics, the offset was erroneously constrained to be
positive.
To fix this I've adjusted the `imm_mem7bit` class in the Tablegen that
defines the intrinsics. But that causes integer literals like
`0xfffffffffffffe04` to appear in the autogenerated calls to
`SemaBuiltinConstantArgRange`, which provokes a compiler warning
because that's out of the non-overflowing range of an `int64_t`. So
I've also tweaked `MveEmitter` to emit that as `-0x1fc` instead.
Updated the tests of the Sema checks themselves, and also adjusted a
random sample of the CodeGen tests to actually use negative offsets
and prove they get all the way through code generation without causing
a crash.

Provide a mechanism to attach OpenCL extension information to builtin

Patch by Pierre Gondois and Sven van Haastregt.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D71476
The basic technical design here is that we have three levels
of readers and writers:
- At the lowest level, there's a `Basic{Reader,Writer}` that knows
how to emit the basic structures of the AST. CRTP allows this to
be metaprogrammed so that the client only needs to support a handful
of primitive types (e.g. `uint64_t` and `IdentifierInfo*`) and more
complicated "inline" structures such as `DeclarationName` can just
be emitted in terms of those primitives.
In Clang's binary-serialization code, these are
`ASTRecord{Reader,Writer}`. For now, a large number of basic
structures are still emitted explicitly by code on those classes
rather than by either TableGen or CRTP metaprogramming, but I
expect to move more of these over.
- In the middle, there's a `Property{Reader,Writer}` which is
responsible for processing the properties of a larger object. The
object-level reader/writer asks the property-level reader/writer to
project out a particular property, yielding a basic reader/writer
which will be used to read/write the property's value, like so:
```
propertyWriter.find("count").writeUInt32(node->getCount());
```
Clang's binary-serialization code ignores this level (it uses
the basic reader/writer as the property reader/writer and has the
projection methods just return `*this`) and simply relies on the
roperties being read/written in a stable order.
- At the highest level, there's an object reader/writer (e.g.
`Type{Reader,Writer}` which emits a logical object with properties.
Think of this as writing something like a JSON dictionary literal.
I haven't introduced support for bitcode abbreviations yet --- it
turns out that there aren't any operative abbreviations for types
besides the QualType one --- but I do have some ideas of how they
should work. At any rate, they'll be necessary in order to handle
statements.
I'm sorry for not disentangling the patches that added basic and type
reader/writers; I made some effort to, but I ran out of energy after
disentangling a number of other patches from the work.
Negligible impact on module size, time to build a set of about 20
fairly large modules, or time to read a few declarations out of them.
There are three significant changes here:
- Most of the methods to read various embedded structures (`APInt`,
`NestedNameSpecifier`, `DeclarationName`, etc.) have been moved
from `ASTReader` to `ASTRecordReader`. This cleans up quite a
bit of code which was passing around `(F, Record, Idx)` arguments
everywhere or doing explicit indexing, and it nicely parallels
how it works on the writer side. It also sets us up to then move
most of these methods into the `BasicReader`s that I'm introducing
as part of abstract serialization.
As part of this, several of the top-level reader methods (e.g.
`readTypeRecord`) have been converted to use `ASTRecordReader`
internally, which is a nice readability improvement.
- I've standardized most of these method names on `readFoo` rather
than `ReadFoo` (used in some of the helper structures) or `GetFoo`
(used for some specific types for no apparent reason).
- I've changed a few of these methods to return their result instead
of reading into an argument passed by reference. This is partly
for general consistency and partly because it will make the
metaprogramming easier with abstract serialization.
