the body of a function for the purposes of computing its storage
duration and deciding whether its initializer must be constant.
There are a number of problems in our current treatment of compound
literals. C specifies that a compound literal yields an l-value
referring to an object with either static or automatic storage
duration, depending on where it was written; in the latter case,
the literal object has a lifetime tied to the enclosing scope (much
like an ObjC block), not the enclosing full-expression. To get these
semantics fully correct in our current design, we would need to
collect compound literals on the ExprWithCleanups, just like we do
with ObjC blocks; we would probably also want to identify literals
like we do with materialized temporaries. But it gets stranger;
GCC adds compound literals to C++ as an extension, but makes them
r-values, which are generally assumed to have temporary storage
duration. Ignoring destructor ordering, the difference only matters
if the object's address escapes the full-expression, which for an
r-value can only happen with reference binding (which extends
temporaries) or array-to-pointer decay (which does not). GCC then
attempts to lock down on array-to-pointer decay in ad hoc ways.
Arguably a far superior language solution for C++ (and perhaps even
array r-values in C, which can occur in other ways) would be to
propagate lifetime extension through array-to-pointer decay, so
that initializing a pointer object to a decayed r-value array
extends the lifetime of the complete object containing the array.
But this would be a major change in semantics which arguably ought
to be blessed by the committee(s).
Anyway, I'm not fixing any of that in this patch; I did try, but
it got out of hand.

destination type for initialization, assignment, parameter-passing,
etc. The main issue fixed here is that we used rather confusing
wording for diagnostics such as
t.c:2:9: warning: initializing 'char const [2]' discards qualifiers,
expected 'char *' [-pedantic]
char *name = __func__;
^ ~~~~~~~~
We're not initializing a 'char const [2]', we're initializing a 'char
*' with an expression of type 'char const [2]'. Similar problems
existed for other diagnostics in this area, so I've normalized them all
with more precise descriptive text to say what we're
initializing/converting/assigning/etc. from and to. The warning for
the code above is now:
t.c:2:9: warning: initializing 'char *' from an expression of type
'char const [2]' discards qualifiers [-pedantic]
char *name = __func__;

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).

This patch isn't quite ideal in that it eliminates the warning for
constructs like "int a = {1};", where the braces are in fact redundant.
However, that would have required a bunch of refactoring, and it's
much less likely to cause confusion compared to redundant nested braces.

new DiagnoseIncompleteType. It provides additional information about
struct/class/union/enum types when possible, either by pointing to the
forward declaration of that type or by pointing to the definition (if
we're in the process of defining that type).
