practicable alternative. Also make this clearer in CodingStandards.

The current ProgrammersManual.rst document has a lot of well-written
documentation on error handling thanks to @lhames. It suggests errors can be
split cleanly into "programmatic" and "recoverable" errors. However, the
reality in current LLVM seems to be there are a number of cases where a
non-programmatic error is not easily recoverable. Therefore, add a note to
indicate the existence of report_fatal_error for these cases. I've also added
a reminder to CodingStandards.rst in the section on assertions, to indicate
that llvm_unreachable and assertions should not be relied upon to report
errors triggered by user input.
The ProgrammersManual is also silent on the use of LLVMContext::diagnose,
which is used in BPF+WebAssembly+AMDGPU to report some errors during
instruction selection. I don't address that in this patch, as it's not quite
clear how to fit in to the current error handling story

Summary:
The RFC proposal sent to increase the minimum required GCC version
to 4.8 received a lot of support. See the following thread:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-October/105955.html,
This patch implements that by updating the docs. I believe the
references to libstdc++ 4.7 issues can be removed as well, please
let me know if that is not the case or if they should be updated
a different way.

auto-brief format for doxygen comments. Most notable is switching to
that in the example doxygen comment. I've also tweaked the wording but
am happy to tweak it further if others have suggestions here.
Mostly doing this to capture something I and others have been writing
consistently and repeatedly in code reviews.

The statement on using #if 0 ... #endif is not very clear (for people like me
:-)). This patch clarifies it a bit to avoid confusion.

such as std::equal on the third argument. This reverts previous workarounds.
Predefining _DEBUG_POINTER_IMPL disables Visual C++ 2013 headers from defining
it to a function performing the null pointer check. In practice, it's not that
bad since any function actually using the nullptr will seg fault. The other
iterator sanity checks remain enabled in the headers.

It didn't seem worth leaving behind a guideline to use '= delete' to
make a class uncopyable. That's a well known C++ design pattern.

I should have included this as part of r215986, which worked around this
corner by changing ArrayRef::equals() not to use std::equal. Alas.

Clang-cl supports MSVC-style RTTI now, and we can even compile
typeid(...) with /GR-. Just don't instantiate std::function with a
polymorphic type, or bad things will happen.

:doc:`...` and :ref:`...` links help Sphinx keep track the dependencies
between documents and ensure that they are not pointing to nowhere.
Raw HTML links work just fine and are easier for people less familiar
with reST/Sphinx. They are easy to change over to the :doc:/:ref: style
after the fact so this is not a problem.
This commit doesn't fix all of them.

It's easy to copy unintentionally when using 'auto', particularly inside
range-based for loops. Best practise is to use 'const&' unless there's
a good reason not to.

The current coding standards restrict the use of struct to PODs, but no
one has been following them. This patch updates the standards to
clarify when structs are dangerous and describe common practice in LLVM.

This will be matched with a change to clang-format's LLVM style which
will switch the options to support C++11 and use these conventions.

aren't always in useful discreet chunks.
Fortunately, the missing pieces are few and far between, and we can

A lot of this is writing down common knowledge and things often
communicated on mailing lists and in discussions. It could live in the
Programmer's Manual alternatively, but that felt slightly less
well-fitting.
It also includes (and was motivated by) the section on the relevant
language standards for LLVM and the specific features that will be
enabled with the switch to C++11.
With this, all of the documentation for the C++11 switch is, I think, in
place. I plan to flip the switch RSN. =]

standards.
It claims the document intentionally doesn't give fixed standards for
brace placement or spacing, and then the document goes on to do
precisely that in several places. Instead, try to highlight that even
these rules are simply *guidance* which may be trumped by some other
circumstance or the local conventions of code.
I'm not trying to change the thrust of this part of the document, and if
folks think this does so, I'm happy to re-wordsmith it. I just don't
want it to be so self-contradicting.

coding standards, and instead fix the existing section.
Thanks to Daniel Jasper for pointing out we already had a section
devoted to this topic. Instead of adding sections, just hack on this
section some. Also fix the example in the anonymous namespace section
below it to agree with the new advice.
As a re-cap, this switches the LLVM preferred style to never indent
namespaces. Having two approaches just led to endless (and utterly
pointless) debates about what was "small enough". This wasn't helping
anyone. The no-indent rule is easy to understand and doesn't really make
anything harder to read. Moreover, with tools like clang-format it is
considerably nicer to have simple consistent rules.
