Chandler Carruth 9ae926b973 [IR] Replace `isa<TerminatorInst>` with `isTerminator()`.
This is a bit awkward in a handful of places where we didn't even have
an instruction and now we have to see if we can build one. But on the
whole, this seems like a win and at worst a reasonable cost for removing
`TerminatorInst`.

All of this is part of the removal of `TerminatorInst` from the
`Instruction` type hierarchy.

Aaron Ballman cd27070a05 Update the coding standards and developer policy documentation surrounding whitespace.
Clarify that you should not introduce trailing whitespace when making a commit and that you should not remove trailing whitespace that's unrelated to code you are changing or are about to change. Then clarified the developer policy around what is considered an obvious whitespace commit.

David Blaikie 47ff8f457f Coding Standards: Document library layering requirements & header isolation.
(I suppose these two pieces could be separated - but seemed related
enough)

As discussed on llvm-dev, this documents the general expectation of how
library layering should be handled. There are a few existing cases where
these constraints are not met, but as with most style guide things -
this is forward looking and provides guidance when cleaning up existing
code, it doesn't immediately require that all previous code be cleaned
up to match. (see: naming conventions, etc)

Alex Bradbury 23a86ea4b4 [Docs] Update CodingStandards to recommend range-based for loops
The CodingStandards section on avoiding the re-evaluation of end() hasn't been
updated since range-based for loops were adopted in the LLVM codebase. This
patch adds a very brief section that documents how range-based for loops
should be used wherever possible. It also moves example code in
CodingStandards to use range-based for loops and auto when appropriate.

Alex Bradbury f698a29a51 Refine report_fatal_error guidance after post-commit review
Use text suggested by Justin Bogner in post-commit review of r311146 
<http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20170814/479898.html>, 
which makes it clear that report_fatal_error shouldn't be used when there is a 
practicable alternative. Also make this clearer in CodingStandards.

Alex Bradbury 7182440fbd Give guidance on report_fatal_error in CodingStandards.rst and ProgrammersManual.rst
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

Teresa Johnson f7f02fa089 [docs] Increase minimum supported GCC version for building LLVM to 4.8
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.

Chandler Carruth 67473526cb Make the coding standards a bit more clear that we prefer the fancy new
auto-brief format for doxygen comments. Most notable is switching to
that in the example doxygen comment. I've also tweaked the wording but

Mostly doing this to capture something I and others have been writing

Yaron Keren 528d8d6092 Disable Visual C++ 2013 Debug mode assert on null pointer in some STL algorithms,
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.
