Using a _BitInt (or _ExtInt) type as a block parameter or block return
type hits an "unreachable" when trying to determine the encoding for
the block. Instead of crashing, this patch handles it like some of the
other types for which we don't yet have an encoding. The test case
verifies we no longer crash, but does not verify that we provide any
particular encoding (it can be updated once someone more familiar with
ObjC steps in to define the encoding).
Fixes PR50503.
We currently emit the selector load early, but only because we need
it to compute the signature (so that we know which msgSend variant to
call). We can prepare the signature with a plain undef, and replace
it with the materialized selector value if (and only if) needed, later.
Concretely, this usually doesn't have an effect, but tests need updating
because we reordered the receiver bitcast and the selector load, which
is always fine.
There is one notable change: with this, when a msgSend needs a
receiver null check, the selector is now loaded in the non-null
block, instead of before the null check. That should be a mild
improvement.

Currently, if we create a category in ObjC that is empty, we still emit
runtime metadata for that category. This is a scenario that could
commonly be run into when using __attribute__((objc_direct_members)),
which elides the need for much of the category metadata. This is
slightly wasteful and can be easily skipped by checking the category

non-Darwin ObjC runtimes:
- Use the same logic the Darwin runtime does for inferring that a
receiver is non-null and therefore doesn't require null checks.
Previously we weren't skipping these for non-super dispatch.
- Emit a null check when there's a consumed parameter so that we can
destroy the argument if the call doesn't happen. This mostly
involves extracting some common logic from the Darwin-runtime code.
- Generate a zero aggregate by zeroing the same memory that was used
in the method call instead of zeroing separate memory and then
merging them with a phi. This uses less memory and avoids unnecessary
copies.
- Emit zero initialization, and generate zero values in phis, using
the proper zero-value routines instead of assuming that the zero
value of the result type has a bitwise-zero representation.
This reverts c7f16ab3e3 / r109694 - which
suggested this was done to improve consistency with the gdb test suite.
Possible that at the time GCC did not canonicalize integer types, and so
matching types was important for cross-compiler validity, or that it was
only a case of over-constrained test cases that printed out/tested the
exact names of integer types.
In any case neither issue seems to exist today based on my limited
testing - both gdb and lldb canonicalize integer types (in a way that
happens to match Clang's preferred naming, incidentally) and so never
print the original text name produced in the DWARF by GCC or Clang.
This canonicalization appears to be in `integer_types_same_name_p` for
GDB and in `TypeSystemClang::GetBasicTypeEnumeration` for lldb.
(I tested this with one translation unit defining 3 variables - `long`,
`long (*)()`, and `int (*)()`, and another translation unit that had
main, and a function that took `long (*)()` as a parameter - then
compiled them with mismatched compilers (either GCC+Clang, or
Clang+(Clang with this patch applied)) and no matter the combination,
despite the debug info for one CU naming the type "long int" and the
other naming it "long", both debuggers printed out the name as "long"
and were able to correctly perform overload resolution and pass the
`long int (*)()` variable to the `long (*)()` function parameter)
Did find one hiccup, identified by the lldb test suite - that CodeView
was relying on these names to map them to builtin types in that format.
So added some handling for that in LLVM. (these could be split out into
separate patches, but seems small enough to not warrant it - will do
that if there ends up needing any reverti/revisiting)

The matrix extension requires the indices for matrix subscript
expression to be valid and it is UB otherwise.
extract/insertelement produce poison if the index is invalid, which
limits the optimizer to not be bale to scalarize load/extract pairs for

matrix subscript expressions with variable indices for large matrixes.
This patch updates IRGen to emit assumes to for index expression to
convey the information that the index must be valid.
This also adjusts the order in which operations are emitted slightly, so
indices & assumes are added before the load of the matrix value.

Since the introduction of class properties in Objective-C it is possible to declare a class and an instance
property with the same identifier in an interface/protocol.
Right now Clang just generates debug information for whatever property comes first in the source file.
The second property is ignored as it's filtered out by the set of already emitted properties (which is just
using the identifier of the property to check for equivalence). I don't think generating debug info in this case
was never supported as the identifier filter is in place since 7123bca7fb
(which precedes the introduction of class properties).
This patch expands the filter to take in account identifier + whether the property is class/instance. This
ensures that both properties are emitted in this special situation.

explicitly emitting retainRV or claimRV calls in the IR
This reapplies ed4718eccb, which was reverted

has been fixed in 75805dce5f.
Original commit message:
Background:
This fixes a longstanding problem where llvm breaks ARC's autorelease
optimization (see the link below) by separating calls from the marker
instructions or retainRV/claimRV calls. The backend changes are in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D92569.
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html#arc-runtime-objc-autoreleasereturnvalue
What this patch does to fix the problem:
- The front-end adds operand bundle "clang.arc.attachedcall" to calls,
which indicates the call is implicitly followed by a marker
instruction and an implicit retainRV/claimRV call that consumes the
call result. In addition, it emits a call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use, which consumes the call result, to
prevent the middle-end passes from changing the return type of the
called function. This is currently done only when the target is arm64
and the optimization level is higher than -O0.
- ARC optimizer temporarily emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the calls
with the operand bundle in the IR and removes the inserted calls after
processing the function.
- ARC contract pass emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the call with the
operand bundle. It doesn't remove the operand bundle on the call since
the backend needs it to emit the marker instruction. The retainRV and
claimRV calls are emitted late in the pipeline to prevent optimization
passes from transforming the IR in a way that makes it harder for the
ARC middle-end passes to figure out the def-use relationship between
the call and the retainRV/claimRV calls (which is the cause of
PR31925).
- The function inliner removes an autoreleaseRV call in the callee if
nothing in the callee prevents it from being paired up with the
retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. It then inserts a release call if
claimRV is attached to the call since autoreleaseRV+claimRV is
equivalent to a release. If it cannot find an autoreleaseRV call, it
tries to transfer the operand bundle to a function call in the callee.
This is important since the ARC optimizer can remove the autoreleaseRV
returning the callee result, which makes it impossible to pair it up
with the retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. If that fails, it simply
emits a retain call in the IR if retainRV is attached to the call and
does nothing if claimRV is attached to it.
- SCCP refrains from replacing the return value of a call with a
constant value if the call has the operand bundle. This ensures the
call always has at least one user (the call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use).
- This patch also fixes a bug in replaceUsesOfNonProtoConstant where
multiple operand bundles of the same kind were being added to a call.
Future work:
- Use the operand bundle on x86-64.
- Fix the auto upgrader to convert call+retainRV/claimRV pairs into

- ARC optimizer temporarily emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the
annotated calls in the IR and removes the inserted calls after
processing the function.
- ARC contract pass emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the annotated
calls. It doesn't remove the attribute on the call since the backend
needs it to emit the marker instruction. The retainRV/claimRV calls
are emitted late in the pipeline to prevent optimization passes from
transforming the IR in a way that makes it harder for the ARC
middle-end passes to figure out the def-use relationship between the
call and the retainRV/claimRV calls (which is the cause of PR31925).
- The function inliner removes the autoreleaseRV call in the callee that
returns the result if nothing in the callee prevents it from being
paired up with the calls annotated with "clang.arc.rv"="retain/claim"
in the caller. If the call is annotated with "claim", a release call
is inserted since autoreleaseRV+claimRV is equivalent to a release. If
it cannot find an autoreleaseRV call, it tries to transfer the
attributes to a function call in the callee. This is important since
ARC optimizer can remove the autoreleaseRV call returning the callee
result, which makes it impossible to pair it up with the retainRV or
claimRV call in the caller. If that fails, it simply emits a retain
call in the IR if the call is annotated with "retain" and does nothing
if it's annotated with "claim".
- This patch teaches dead argument elimination pass not to change the
return type of a function if any of the calls to the function are
annotated with attribute "clang.arc.rv". This is necessary since the
pass can incorrectly determine nothing in the IR uses the function
return, which can happen since the front-end no longer explicitly
emits retainRV/claimRV calls in the IR, and change its return type to
'void'.
Future work:
- Use the attribute on x86-64.
- Fix the auto upgrader to convert call+retainRV/claimRV pairs into
calls annotated with the attributes.

In the PPC32 SVR4 ABI, a va_list has copies of registers from the function call.
va_arg looked in the wrong registers for (the pointer representation of) an
object in Objective-C, and for some types in C++. Fix va_arg to look in the
general-purpose registers, not the floating-point registers. Also fix va_arg
for some C++ types, like a member function pointer, that are aggregates for
the ABI.
Anthony Richardby found the problem in Objective-C. Eli Friedman suggested
part of this fix.
