A return type is the declared or deduced part of the function type specified in
the declaration.
A result type is the (potentially adjusted) type of the value of an expression
that calls the function.
Rule of thumb:
* Declarations have return types and parameters.
* Expressions have result types and arguments.

Fix a perennial source of confusion in the clang type system: Declarations and
function prototypes have parameters to which arguments are supplied, so calling
these 'arguments' was a stretch even in C mode, let alone C++ where default
arguments, templates and overloading make the distinction important to get
right.
Readability win across the board, especially in the casting, ADL and
overloading implementations which make a lot more sense at a glance now.
Will keep an eye on the builders and update dependent projects shortly.
No functional change.

The previous patches tried to deduce the correct function type. I now realize
this is not possible in general. Consider
class foo {
template <typename T> static void bar(T v);
};
extern template void foo::bar(const void *);
We will only know that bar is static after a lookup, so we have to handle this
in the template instantiation code.
This patch reverts my previous two changes (but not the tests) and instead
handles the issue in DeduceTemplateArguments.

Under ARC++, a reference to a const Objective-C pointer is implicitly
treated as __unsafe_unretained, and can be initialized with (e.g.) a
__strong lvalue. Make sure this behavior does not break template
argument deduction and (related) that partial ordering still prefers a
'T* const&' template over a 'T const&' template when this case kicks
in. Fixes <rdar://problem/14467941>.

The bool conversion operator on InstantiatingTemplate never added value and
only served to obfuscate the template instantiation routines.
This replaces the conversion and its callers with an explicit isInvalid()
function to make it clear what's going on at a glance.
llvm-svn: 192177
The general strategy is to create template versions of the conversion function and static invoker and then during template argument deduction of the conversion function, create the corresponding call-operator and static invoker specializations, and when the conversion function is marked referenced generate the body of the conversion function using the corresponding static-invoker specialization. Similarly, Codegen does something similar - when asked to emit the IR for a specialized static invoker of a generic lambda, it forwards emission to the corresponding call operator.
This patch has been reviewed in person both by Doug and Richard. Richard gave me the LGTM.
A few minor changes:
- per Richard's request i added a simple check to gracefully inform that captures (init, explicit or default) have not been added to generic lambdas just yet (instead of the assertion violation).
- I removed a few lines of code that added the call operators instantiated parameters to the currentinstantiationscope. Not only did it not handle parameter packs, but it is more relevant in the patch for nested lambdas which will follow this one, and fix that problem more comprehensively.
- Doug had commented that the original implementation strategy of using the TypeSourceInfo of the call operator to create the static-invoker was flawed and allowed const as a member qualifier to creep into the type of the static-invoker. I currently kludge around it - but after my initial discussion with Doug, with a follow up session with Richard, I have added a FIXME so that a more elegant solution that involves the use of TrivialTypeSourceInfo call followed by the correct wiring of the template parameters to the functionprototypeloc is forthcoming.
Thanks!

Specifically, the following features are not included in this commit:
- any sort of capturing within generic lambdas
- generic lambdas within template functions and nested
within other generic lambdas
- conversion operator for captureless lambdas
- ensuring all visitors are generic lambda aware
(Although I have gotten some useful feedback on my patches of the above and will be incorporating that as I submit those patches for commit)
As an example of what compiles through this commit:
template <class F1, class F2>
struct overload : F1, F2 {
using F1::operator();
using F2::operator();
overload(F1 f1, F2 f2) : F1(f1), F2(f2) { }
};
auto Recursive = [](auto Self, auto h, auto ... rest) {
return 1 + Self(Self, rest...);
};
auto Base = [](auto Self, auto h) {
return 1;
};
overload<decltype(Base), decltype(Recursive)> O(Base, Recursive);
int num_params = O(O, 5, 3, "abc", 3.14, 'a');
Please see attached tests for more examples.
This patch has been reviewed by Doug and Richard. Minor changes (non-functionality affecting) have been made since both of them formally looked at it, but the changes involve removal of supernumerary return type deduction changes (since they are now redundant, with richard having committed a recent patch to address return type deduction for C++11 lambdas using C++14 semantics).
Some implementation notes:
- Add a new Declarator context => LambdaExprParameterContext to
clang::Declarator to allow the use of 'auto' in declaring generic
lambda parameters
- Add various helpers to CXXRecordDecl to facilitate identifying
and querying a closure class
- LambdaScopeInfo (which maintains the current lambda's Sema state)
was augmented to house the current depth of the template being
parsed (id est the Parser calls Sema::RecordParsingTemplateParameterDepth)
so that SemaType.cpp::ConvertDeclSpecToType may use it to immediately
generate a template-parameter-type when 'auto' is parsed in a generic
lambda parameter context. (i.e we do NOT use AutoType deduced to
a template parameter type - Richard seemed ok with this approach).
We encode that this template type was generated from an auto by simply
adding $auto to the name which can be used for better diagnostics if needed.
- SemaLambda.h was added to hold some common lambda utility
functions (this file is likely to grow ...)
- Teach Sema::ActOnStartOfFunctionDef to check whether it
is being called to instantiate a generic lambda's call
operator, and if so, push an appropriately prepared
LambdaScopeInfo object on the stack.
- various tests were added - but much more will be needed.
There is obviously more work to be done, and both Richard (weakly) and Doug (strongly)
have requested that LambdaExpr be removed form the CXXRecordDecl LambdaDefinitionaData
in a future patch which is forthcoming.
A greatful thanks to all reviewers including Eli Friedman, James Dennett,
and especially the two gracious wizards (Richard Smith and Doug Gregor)
who spent hours providing feedback (in person in Chicago and on the mailing lists).
And yet I am certain that I have allowed unidentified bugs to creep in; bugs, that I will do my best to slay, once identified!
Thanks!

non-member function, the number of arguments in the two candidate calls
will be different (the non-member call will have one extra argument).
We used to get confused by this, and fail to compare the last argument
when testing whether the member is better, resulting in us always
thinking it is, even if the non-member is more specialized in the last
argument.

Some implementation notes:
- Add a new Declarator context => LambdaExprParameterContext to
clang::Declarator to allow the use of 'auto' in declaring generic
lambda parameters
- Augment AutoType's constructor (similar to how variadic
template-type-parameters ala TemplateTypeParmDecl are implemented) to
accept an IsParameterPack to encode a generic lambda parameter pack.
- Add various helpers to CXXRecordDecl to facilitate identifying
and querying a closure class
- LambdaScopeInfo (which maintains the current lambda's Sema state)
was augmented to house the current depth of the template being
parsed (id est the Parser calls Sema::RecordParsingTemplateParameterDepth)
so that Sema::ActOnLambdaAutoParameter may use it to create the
appropriate list of corresponding TemplateTypeParmDecl for each
auto parameter identified within the generic lambda (also stored
within the current LambdaScopeInfo). Additionally,
a TemplateParameterList data-member was added to hold the invented
TemplateParameterList AST node which will be much more useful
once we teach TreeTransform how to transform generic lambdas.
- SemaLambda.h was added to hold some common lambda utility
functions (this file is likely to grow ...)
- Teach Sema::ActOnStartOfFunctionDef to check whether it
is being called to instantiate a generic lambda's call
operator, and if so, push an appropriately prepared
LambdaScopeInfo object on the stack.
- Teach Sema::ActOnStartOfLambdaDefinition to set the
return type of a lambda without a trailing return type
to 'auto' in C++1y mode, and teach the return type
deduction machinery in SemaStmt.cpp to process either
C++11 and C++14 lambda's correctly depending on the flag.
- various tests were added - but much more will be needed.
A greatful thanks to all reviewers including Eli Friedman,
James Dennett and the ever illuminating Richard Smith. And

referenced as a member of the current instantiation. In that case, deduce the
type of the function to a dependent type rather than exposing an undeduced auto
type to the rest of the current instantiation.
The standard doesn't really say that the type is dependent in this case; I'll
bring this up with CWG.

are now two distinct canonical 'AutoType's: one is the undeduced 'auto'
placeholder type, and the other is a deduced-but-dependent type. All
deduced-to-a-non-dependent-type cases are still non-canonical.

This was causing correctness issues for ARC and the static analyzer when a
function template has "consumed" Objective-C object parameters (i.e.
parameters that will be released by the function before returning).
The fix is threefold:
(1) Actually copy over the attributes from old ParmVarDecls to new ones.
(2) Have Sema::BuildFunctionType only work for building FunctionProtoTypes,
which it was doing anyway. This allows us to pass an ExtProtoInfo
instead of a plain ExtInfo and several flags.
(3) Drop param attributes as part of StripImplicitInstantiation, which is
used when an implicit instantiation is followed by an explicit one.
