Summary:
This replaces the format member search, which was quite complicated, with a more
direct approach to detecting whether a class should be formatted using the
format-member method. Instead we use a special type llvm::format_adapter, which
every adapter must inherit from. Then the search can be simply implemented with
the is_base_of type trait.
Aside from the simplification, I like this way more because it makes it more
explicit that you are supposed to use this type only for adapter-like
formattings, and the other approach (format_provider overloads) should be used
as a default (a mistake I made when first trying to use this library).
The only slight change in behaviour here is that now choose the format-adapter
branch even if the format member invocation will fail to compile (e.g. because it is a
non-const member function and we are passing a const adapter), whereas
previously we would have gone on to search for format_providers for the type.
However, I think that is actually a good thing, as it probably means the
programmer did something wrong.

Now that PointerType is no longer a SequentialType, all SequentialTypes
have an associated number of elements, so we can move that information to
the base class, allowing for a number of simplifications.

As proposed on llvm-dev:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-October/106640.html
This is for a couple of reasons:
- Values of type PointerType are unlike the other SequentialTypes (arrays
and vectors) in that they do not hold values of the element type. By moving
PointerType we can unify certain aspects of how the other SequentialTypes
are handled.
- PointerType will have no place in the SequentialType hierarchy once
pointee types are removed, so this is a necessary step towards removing
pointee types.

This introduces a new type-safe general purpose formatting
library. It provides compile-time type safety, does not require
a format specifier (since the type is deduced), and provides
mechanisms for extending the format capability to user defined
types, and overriding the formatting behavior for existing types.
This patch additionally adds documentation for the API to the
LLVM programmer's manual.

programmer's manual.
ExitOnError is often a better alternative to handleErrors for tool code. This
patch makes it easier to find the ExitOnError discussion when reading the
handleErrors section.
Thanks to Peter Collingbourne for the suggestion.
llvm-svn: 286167
This patch updates some of the existing Error examples, expands on the
documentation for handleErrors, and includes new sections that cover
a number of helpful utilities and common error usage idioms.

you can leave the IR in an invalid state and exit when you don't
destroy the context (like the global one), no longer now.

This patch introduces the Error classs for lightweight, structured,
recoverable error handling. It includes utilities for creating, manipulating
and handling errors. The scheme is similar to exceptions, in that errors are
described with user-defined types. Unlike exceptions however, errors are
represented as ordinary return types in the API (similar to the way
std::error_code is used).
For usage notes see the LLVM programmer's manual, and the Error.h header.
Usage examples can be found in unittests/Support/ErrorTest.cpp.
Many thanks to David Blaikie, Mehdi Amini, Kevin Enderby and others on the
llvm-dev and llvm-commits lists for lots of discussion and review.

This means that the DEBUG_TYPE cannot take a comma anymore. All existing passes
conform to this rule.
Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D15645
llvm-svn: 257466
The DEBUG() macro has required that a DEBUG_TYPE be set since r206822.
Update the programmers manual to reflect that, and also update the
wording to point out that DEBUG_TYPE should be defined after #includes.

Summary:
This patch is an attempt at making `DenseMapIterator`s "fail-fast".
Fail-fast iterators that have been invalidated due to insertion into
the host `DenseMap` deterministically trip an assert (in debug mode)
on access, instead of non-deterministically hitting memory corruption
issues.
Enabling fail-fast iterators breaks the LLVM C++ ABI, so they are
predicated on `LLVM_ENABLE_ABI_BREAKING_CHECKS`.
`LLVM_ENABLE_ABI_BREAKING_CHECKS` by default flips with
`LLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTS`, but can be clamped to ON or OFF using the CMake /
autoconf build system.

Again, I'd like to emphasize to everyone that this sort of markup change
is *not* what you should be concerned about when writing docs. Focus on
*content*.
I applaud Chandler for focusing on the fantastic content of this new

polymorphism, and virtual dispatch.
This is essentially trying to explain the emerging design techniques
being used in LLVM these days somewhere more accessible than the
comments on a particular piece of infrastructure. It covers the
"concepts-based polymorphism" that caused some confusion during initial
reviews of the new pass manager as well as the tagged-dispatch mechanism
used pervasively in LLVM and Clang.
Perhaps most notably, I've tried to provide some criteria to help
developers choose between these options when designing new pieces of
infrastructure.
