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.

This change implements C++ DR1696, which makes initialization of a
reference member of a class from a temporary object ill-formed. The
standard wording here is imprecise, but we interpret it as meaning that
any time a mem-initializer would result in lifetime extension, the

This reinstates r337226, reverted in r337255, with a fix for the
InitializedEntity alignment problem that was breaking ARM buildbots.
llvm-svn: 337329
This change breaks on ARM because pointers to clang::InitializedEntity are only
4 byte aligned and do not have 3 bits to store values. A possible solution
would be to change the fields in clang::InitializedEntity to enforce a bigger
alignment requirement.

Certain targets (e.g. amdgcn) require global variable to stay in global or constant address
space. In C or C++ global variables are emitted in the default (generic) address space.
This patch introduces virtual functions TargetCodeGenInfo::getGlobalVarAddressSpace
and TargetInfo::getConstantAddressSpace to handle this in a general approach.
It only affects IR generated for amdgcn target.

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).

Introduce an Address type to bundle a pointer value with an
alignment. Introduce APIs on CGBuilderTy to work with Address
values. Change core APIs on CGF/CGM to traffic in Address where
appropriate. Require alignments to be non-zero. Update a ton
of code to compute and propagate alignment information.
As part of this, I've promoted CGBuiltin's EmitPointerWithAlignment
helper function to CGF and made use of it in a number of places in
the expression emitter.
The end result is that we should now be significantly more correct
when performing operations on objects that are locally known to
be under-aligned. Since alignment is not reliably tracked in the
type system, there are inherent limits to this, but at least we
are no longer confused by standard operations like derived-to-base
conversions and array-to-pointer decay. I've also fixed a large
number of bugs where we were applying the complete-object alignment
to a pointer instead of the non-virtual alignment, although most of
these were hidden by the very conservative approach we took with
member alignment.
Also, because IRGen now reliably asserts on zero alignments, we
should no longer be subject to an absurd but frustrating recurring
bug where an incomplete type would report a zero alignment and then
we'd naively do a alignmentAtOffset on it and emit code using an
alignment equal to the largest power-of-two factor of the offset.
We should also now be emitting much more aggressive alignment
attributes in the presence of over-alignment. In particular,
field access now uses alignmentAtOffset instead of min.
Several times in this patch, I had to change the existing
code-generation pattern in order to more effectively use
the Address APIs. For the most part, this seems to be a strict
improvement, like doing pointer arithmetic with GEPs instead of
ptrtoint. That said, I've tried very hard to not change semantics,
but it is likely that I've failed in a few places, for which I
apologize.
ABIArgInfo now always carries the assumed alignment of indirect and
indirect byval arguments. In order to cut down on what was already
a dauntingly large patch, I changed the code to never set align
attributes in the IR on non-byval indirect arguments. That is,
we still generate code which assumes that indirect arguments have
the given alignment, but we don't express this information to the
backend except where it's semantically required (i.e. on byvals).
This is likely a minor regression for those targets that did provide
this information, but it'll be trivial to add it back in a later
patch.
I partially punted on applying this work to CGBuiltin. Please
do not add more uses of the CreateDefaultAligned{Load,Store}
APIs; they will be going away eventually.

I disabled putting the new global into the same COMDAT as the function for now.
There's a fundamental problem when we inline references to the global but still
have the global in a COMDAT linked to the inlined function. Since this is only
an optimization there may be other versions of the COMDAT around that are
missing the new global and hell breaks loose at link time.
I hope the chromium build doesn't break this time :)

Instead of creating a copy on the stack just stash them in a private
constant global. This saves both the copying overhead and the stack
space, and gives the optimizer more room to constant fold.
This tries to make array temporaries more similar to regular arrays,
they can't use the same logic because a temporary has no VarDecl to be
bound to so we roll our own version here.
The original use case for this optimization was code like
for (int i : {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10})
foo(i);
where without this patch (assuming that the loop is not unrolled) we
would alloca an array on the stack, copy the 10 values over and
iterate on that. With this patch we put the array in .text use it
directly. Apart from that case this helps on virtually any passing of
a constant std::initializer_list as a function argument.

Introduce CXXStdInitializerListExpr node, representing the implicit
construction of a std::initializer_list<T> object from its underlying array.
The AST representation of such an expression goes from an InitListExpr with a
flag set, to a CXXStdInitializerListExpr containing a MaterializeTemporaryExpr
containing an InitListExpr (possibly wrapped in a CXXBindTemporaryExpr).
This more detailed representation has several advantages, the most important of
which is that the new MaterializeTemporaryExpr allows us to directly model
lifetime extension of the underlying temporary array. Using that, this patch
*drastically* simplifies the IR generation of this construct, provides IR
generation support for nested global initializer_list objects, fixes several
bugs where the destructors for the underlying array would accidentally not get
invoked, and provides constant expression evaluation support for
std::initializer_list objects.

This emits a backing array with internal linkage and fills it with data,
then has the initializer_list point at the array. Dynamic initialization
and global destructors are correctly supported.
What doesn't work is nested initializer_lists. I have no idea how to
get them to work, either. However, these should be very rare, and so
I'll just call it a known bug and declare generalized initializers
DONE!
