Other uses of forcing HasEmptyPlaceHolder to false seem OK to me -
they're all around pointer/reference types where the pointer/reference
token will appear at the rightmost side of the left side of the type
name, so they make nested types (eg: the "int" in "int *") behave as
though there is a non-empty placeholder (because the "*" is essentially
the placeholder as far as the "int" is concerned).
This was originally committed in 277623f4d5
Reverted in f9ad1d1c77 due to breakages
outside of clang - lldb seems to have some strange/strong dependence on
"char [N]" versus "char[N]" when printing strings (not due to that name
appearing in DWARF, but probably due to using clang to stringify type
names) that'll need to be addressed, plus a few other odds and ends in
other subprojects (clang-tools-extra, compiler-rt, etc).
Looks like lldb has some issues with this - somehow it causes lldb to
treat a "char[N]" type as an array of chars (prints them out
individually) but a "char [N]" is printed as a string. (even though the
DWARF doesn't have this string in it - it's something to do with the
string lldb generates for itself using clang)
This reverts commit 277623f4d5.

Recommit of r335084 after revert in r335516.
... instead of prepending it at the beginning (the original behavior
since implemented in r122535 2010-12-23). This builds up an
AttributeList in the the order in which the attributes appear in the
source.
The reverse order caused nodes for attributes in the AST (e.g. LoopHint)
to be in the reverse order, and therefore printed in the wrong order in
-ast-dump. Some TODO comments mention this. The order was explicitly
reversed for enable_if attribute overload resolution and name mangling,
which is not necessary anymore with this patch.
The change unfortunately has some secondary effect, especially on
diagnostic output. In the simplest cases, the CHECK lines or expected
diagnostic were changed to the the new output. If the kind of
error/warning changed, the attributes' order was changed instead.
This unfortunately causes some 'previous occurrence here' hints to be
textually after the main marker. This typically happens when attributes
are merged, but are incompatible to each other. Interchanging the role
of the the main and note SourceLocation will also cause the case where
two different declaration's attributes (in contrast to multiple
attributes of the same declaration) are merged to be reverse. There is
no easy fix because sometimes previous attributes are merged into a new
declaration's attribute list, sometimes new attributes are added to a
previous declaration's attribute list. Since 'previous occurrence here'
pointing to locations after the main marker is not rare, I left the
markers as-is; it is only relevant when the attributes are declared in
the same declaration anyway.

Since array parameters decay to pointers, '_Nullable' and friends
should be available for use there as well. This is especially
important for parameters that are typedefs of arrays. The unsugared
syntax for this follows the syntax for 'static'-sized arrays in C:
void test(int values[_Nullable]);
This syntax was previously accepted but the '_Nullable' (and any other
attributes) were silently discarded. However, applying '_Nullable' to
a typedef was previously rejected and is now accepted; therefore, it
may be necessary to test for the presence of this feature:
#if __has_feature(nullability_on_arrays)
One important change here is that DecayedTypes don't always
immediately contain PointerTypes anymore; they may contain an
AttributedType instead. This only affected one place in-tree, so I
would guess it's not likely to cause problems elsewhere.
This commit does not change -Wnullability-completeness just yet. I
want to think about whether it's worth doing something special to
avoid breaking existing clients that compile with -Werror. It also
doesn't change '#pragma clang assume_nonnull' behavior, which
currently treats the following two declarations as equivalent:
#pragma clang assume_nonnull begin
void test(void *pointers[]);
#pragma clang assume_nonnull end
void test(void * _Nonnull pointers[]);
This is not the desired behavior, but changing it would break
backwards-compatibility. Most likely the best answer is going to be
adding a new warning.

nullabilities of its operands.
This patch defines a function to compute the nullability of conditional
expressions, which enables Sema to precisely detect implicit conversions
of nullable conditional expressions to nonnull pointers.

Given the following code:
int *_Nullable ptr;
int *_Nonnull nn = ptr;
...In C, clang will warn you about `nn = ptr`, because you're assigning
a nonnull pointer to a nullable pointer. In C++, clang issues no such
warning. This patch helps ensure that clang doesn't ever miss an
opportunity to complain about C++ code.
N.B. Though this patch has a differential revision link, the actual
review took place over email.

Addresses a conflict with glibc's __nonnull macro by renaming the type
nullability qualifiers as follows:
__nonnull -> _Nonnull
__nullable -> _Nullable
__null_unspecified -> _Null_unspecified
This is the major part of rdar://problem/21530726, but does not yet
provide the Darwin-specific behavior for the old names.
llvm-svn: 240596
This generalizes the checking of null arguments to also work with
values of pointer-to-function, reference-to-function, and block
pointer type, using the nullability information within the underling
function prototype to extend non-null checking, and diagnoses returns
of 'nil' within a function with a __nonnull return type.
Note that we don't warn about nil returns from Objective-C methods,
because it's common for Objective-C methods to mimic the nil-swallowing
behavior of the receiver by checking ostensibly non-null parameters
and returning nil from otherwise non-null methods in that
case.
It also diagnoses (via a separate flag) conversions from nullable to
nonnull pointers. It's a separate flag because this warning can be noisy.
llvm-svn: 240153
Introduces the type specifiers __nonnull, __nullable, and
__null_unspecified that describe the nullability of the pointer type
to which the specifier appertains. Nullability type specifiers improve
on the existing nonnull attributes in a few ways:
- They apply to types, so one can represent a pointer to a non-null
pointer, use them in function pointer types, etc.
- As type specifiers, they are syntactically more lightweight than
__attribute__s or [[attribute]]s.
- They can express both the notion of 'should never be null' and
also 'it makes sense for this to be null', and therefore can more
easily catch errors of omission where one forgot to annotate the
nullability of a particular pointer (this will come in a subsequent
patch).
Nullability type specifiers are maintained as type sugar, and
therefore have no effect on mangling, encoding, overloading,
etc. Nonetheless, they will be used for warnings about, e.g., passing
'null' to a method that does not accept it.
This is the C/C++ part of rdar://problem/18868820.
