Summary:
Right now we annotate C++'s `operator new` with `noalias` attribute,
which very much is healthy for optimizations.
However as per [[ http://eel.is/c++draft/basic.stc.dynamic.allocation | `[basic.stc.dynamic.allocation]` ]],
there are more promises on global `operator new`, namely:
* non-`std::nothrow_t` `operator new` *never* returns `nullptr`
* If `std::align_val_t align` parameter is taken, the pointer will also be `align`-aligned
* ~~global `operator new`-returned pointer is `__STDCPP_DEFAULT_NEW_ALIGNMENT__`-aligned ~~ It's more caveated than that.
Supplying this information may not cause immediate landslide effects
on any specific benchmarks, but it for sure will be healthy for optimizer
in the sense that the IR will better reflect the guarantees provided in the source code.
The caveat is `-fno-assume-sane-operator-new`, which currently prevents emitting `noalias`
attribute, and is automatically passed by Sanitizers ([[ https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16386 | PR16386 ]]) - should it also cover these attributes?
The problem is that the flag is back-end-specific, as seen in `test/Modules/explicit-build-flags.cpp`.
But while it is okay to add `noalias` metadata in backend, we really should be adding at least
the alignment metadata to the AST, since that allows us to perform sema checks on it.

Summary:
Clang -fpic defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition (GCC -fpic defaults
to -fsemantic-interposition).
Users need to specify -fsemantic-interposition to get semantic
interposition behavior.
Semantic interposition is currently a best-effort feature. There may
still be some cases where it is not handled well.

new expression.
This was voted into C++20 as a defect report resolution, so we
retroactively apply it to all prior language modes (though it can never
actually be used before C++11 mode).

Summary:
Upstream LLVM is changing the the prototypes of the @llvm.memcpy/memmove/memset
intrinsics. This change updates the Clang tests for this change.
The @llvm.memcpy/memmove/memset intrinsics currently have an explicit argument
which is required to be a constant integer. It represents the alignment of the
dest (and source), and so must be the minimum of the actual alignment of the
two.
This change removes the alignment argument in favour of placing the alignment
attribute on the source and destination pointers of the memory intrinsic call.
For example, code which used to read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* %dest, i8* %src, i32 100, i32 4, i1 false)
will now read
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* align 4 %dest, i8* align 4 %src, i32 100, i1 false)
At this time the source and destination alignments must be the same (Step 1).
Step 2 of the change, to be landed shortly, will relax that contraint and allow
the source and destination to have different alignments.

This bypasses integer sanitization checks which are redundant on the expression since it's been checked by Sema. Fixes a clang codegen assertion on "void test() { new int[0+1]{0}; }" when building with -fsanitize=signed-integer-overflow.

new expression, distinguish between the case of a constant and non-constant
initializer. In the former case, if the bound is erroneous (too many
initializer elements, bound is negative, or allocated size overflows), reject,
and take the bound into account when determining whether we need to
default-construct any elements. In the remanining cases, move the logic to
check for default-constructibility of trailing elements into the initialization
code rather than inventing a bogus array bound, to cope with cases where the
number of initialized elements is not the same as the number of initializer
list elements (this can happen due to string literal initialization or brace
elision).
This also fixes rejects-valid and crash-on-valid errors when initializing a
new'd array of character type from a braced string literal.

CodeGen-level implementation. Instead of adding an attribute to clang's
FunctionDecl, add the IR attribute directly. This means a module built with
this flag is now compatible with code built without it and vice versa.
This change also results in the 'noalias' attribute no longer being added to
calls to operator new in the IR; it's now only added to the declaration. It
also fixes a bug where we failed to add the attribute to the 'nothrow' versions
(because we didn't implicitly declare them, there was no good time to inject a
fake attribute).

trailing elements as a single loop, rather than sometimes emitting a nest of
several loops. This fixes a bug where CodeGen would sometimes try to emit an
expression with the wrong type for the element being initialized. Plus various
other minor cleanups to the IR produced for array new initialization.
