This attribute permits a typedef to be associated with a class template
specialization as a preferred way of naming that class template
specialization. This permits us to specify that (for example) the
preferred way to express 'std::basic_string<char>' is as 'std::string'.
The attribute is applied to the various class templates in libc++ that have
corresponding well-known typedef names.
This is a re-commit. The previous commit was reverted because it exposed
a pre-existing bug that has since been fixed / worked around; see
PR48434.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D91311
This change exposed a pre-existing issue with deserialization cycles
caused by a combination of attributes and template instantiations
violating the deserialization ordering restrictions; see PR48434 for
details.
A previous commit attempted to work around PR48434, but appears to have
only been a partial fix, and fixing this properly seems non-trivial.
Backing out for now to unblock things.
This reverts commit 98f76adf4e and
commit a64c26a47a.
This is really just a workaround for a more fundamental issue in the way
we deserialize attributes. See PR48434 for details.
Also fix tablegen code generator to produce more correct indentation to
resolve buildbot issues with -Werror=misleading-indentation firing
inside the generated code.
