Original commit message:

[clang-repl] Implement partial translation units and error recovery.

https://reviews.llvm.org/D96033 contained a discussion regarding efficient
modeling of error recovery. @rjmccall has outlined the key ideas:

Conceptually, we can split the translation unit into a sequence of partial
translation units (PTUs). Every declaration will be associated with a unique PTU
that owns it.

The first key insight here is that the owning PTU isn't always the "active"
(most recent) PTU, and it isn't always the PTU that the declaration
"comes from". A new declaration (that isn't a redeclaration or specialization of
anything) does belong to the active PTU. A template specialization, however,
belongs to the most recent PTU of all the declarations in its signature - mostly
that means that it can be pulled into a more recent PTU by its template
arguments.

The second key insight is that processing a PTU might extend an earlier PTU.
Rolling back the later PTU shouldn't throw that extension away. For example, if
the second PTU defines a template, and the third PTU requires that template to
be instantiated at float, that template specialization is still part of the
second PTU. Similarly, if the fifth PTU uses an inline function belonging to the
fourth, that definition still belongs to the fourth. When we go to emit code in
a new PTU, we map each declaration we have to emit back to its owning PTU and
emit it in a new module for just the extensions to that PTU. We keep track of
all the modules we've emitted for a PTU so that we can unload them all if we
decide to roll it back.

Most declarations/definitions will only refer to entities from the same or
earlier PTUs. However, it is possible (primarily by defining a
previously-declared entity, but also through templates or ADL) for an entity
that belongs to one PTU to refer to something from a later PTU. We will have to
keep track of this and prevent unwinding to later PTU when we recognize it.
Fortunately, this should be very rare; and crucially, we don't have to do the
bookkeeping for this if we've only got one PTU, e.g. in normal compilation.
Otherwise, PTUs after the first just need to record enough metadata to be able
to revert any changes they've made to declarations belonging to earlier PTUs,
e.g. to redeclaration chains or template specialization lists.

It should even eventually be possible for PTUs to provide their own slab
allocators which can be thrown away as part of rolling back the PTU. We can
maintain a notion of the active allocator and allocate things like Stmt/Expr
nodes in it, temporarily changing it to the appropriate PTU whenever we go to do
something like instantiate a function template. More care will be required when
allocating declarations and types, though.

We would want the PTU to be efficiently recoverable from a Decl; I'm not sure
how best to do that. An easy option that would cover most declarations would be
to make multiple TranslationUnitDecls and parent the declarations appropriately,
but I don't think that's good enough for things like member function templates,
since an instantiation of that would still be parented by its original class.
Maybe we can work this into the DC chain somehow, like how lexical DCs are.

We add a different kind of translation unit `TU_Incremental` which is a
complete translation unit that we might nonetheless incrementally extend later.
Because it is complete (and we might want to generate code for it), we do
perform template instantiation, but because it might be extended later, we don't
warn if it declares or uses undefined internal-linkage symbols.

This patch teaches clang-repl how to recover from errors by disconnecting the
most recent PTU and update the primary PTU lookup tables. For instance:

```./clang-repl
clang-repl> int i = 12; error;
In file included from <<< inputs >>>:1:
input_line_0:1:13: error: C++ requires a type specifier for all declarations
int i = 12; error;
            ^
error: Parsing failed.
clang-repl> int i = 13; extern "C" int printf(const char*,...);
clang-repl> auto r1 = printf("i=%d\n", i);
i=13
clang-repl> quit
```

Reid Kleckner e08464fb45 Avoid including FileManager.h from SourceManager.h
Most clients of SourceManager.h need to do things like turning source
locations into file & line number pairs, but this doesn't require
bringing in FileManager.h and LLVM's FS headers.

The main code change here is to sink SM::createFileID into the cpp file.
I reason that this is not performance critical because it doesn't happen
on the diagnostic path, it happens along the paths of macro expansion
(could be hot) and new includes (less hot).

Saves some includes:

Nico Weber 04347d848d Make SourceManager::createFileID(UnownedTag, ...) take a const llvm::MemoryBuffer*
Requires making the llvm::MemoryBuffer* stored by SourceManager const,
which in turn requires making the accessors for that return const
llvm::MemoryBuffer*s and updating all call sites.

The original motivation for this was to use it and fix the TODO in
CodeGenAction.cpp's ConvertBackendLocation() by using the UnownedTag
version of createFileID, and since llvm::SourceMgr* hands out a const
llvm::MemoryBuffer* this is required. I'm not sure if fixing the TODO
this way actually works, but this seems like a good change on its own
anyways.

No intended behavior change.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
`ASTPrinter` allows setting the ouput to any O-Stream, but that printer creates source-code-like syntax (and is also marked with a `FIXME`). The nice, colourful, mostly human-readable `ASTDumper` only works on the standard output, which is not feasible in case a user wants to see the AST of a file through a code navigation/comprehension tool.

This small addition of an overload solves generating a nice colourful AST block for the users of a tool I'm working on, [[ http://github.com/Ericsson/CodeCompass | CodeCompass ]], as opposed to having to duplicate the behaviour of definitions that only exist in the anonymous namespace of implementation TUs related to this module.

Sean Callanan 967d438439 Add support for remembering origins to ExternalASTMerger
ExternalASTMerger has hitherto relied on being able to look up 
any Decl through its named DeclContext chain. This works for 
many cases, but causes problems for function-local structs, 
which cannot be looked up in their containing FunctionDecl. An
example case is

void f() {
  { struct S { int a; }; }
  { struct S { bool b; }; }
}

It is not possible to lookup either of the two Ses individually 
(or even to provide enough information to disambiguate) after 
parsing is over; and there is typically no need to, since they 
are invisible to the outside world.

However, ExternalASTMerger needs to be able to complete either 
S on demand. This led to an XFAIL on test/Import/local-struct, 
which this patch removes. The way the patch works is:

It defines a new data structure, ExternalASTMerger::OriginMap,
which clients are expected to maintain (default-constructing 
if the origin does not have an ExternalASTMerger servicing it)
As DeclContexts are imported, if they cannot be looked up by 
name they are placed in the OriginMap. This allows 
ExternalASTMerger to complete them later if necessary.
As DeclContexts are imported from an origin that already has 
its own OriginMap, the origins are forwarded – but only for 
those DeclContexts that are actually used. This keeps the 
amount of stored data minimal.

The patch also applies several improvements from review:

- Thoroughly documents the interface to ExternalASTMerger;
- Adds optional logging to help track what's going on; and
- Cleans up a bunch of braces and dangling elses.

I've added two tests:

- A test that checks that structs in top-level code are completed 
  correctly during struct layout (they are)
- A test that checks that structs defined in function bodies are 
  cpmpleted correctly during struct layout (currently they are not, 
  so this is XFAIL).

The second test fails because LookupSameContext()

Sean Callanan 9092d4795d [ASTImporter] Improve handling of incomplete types
ASTImporter has some bugs when it's importing types 
that themselves come from an ExternalASTSource. This 
is exposed particularly in the behavior when 
comparing complete TagDecls with forward 
declarations. This patch does several things:

- Adds a test case making sure that conflicting 
  forward-declarations are resolved correctly;
- Extends the clang-import-test harness to test 
  two-level importing, so that we make sure we 
  complete types when necessary; and
- Fixes a few bugs I found this way. Failure to 
  complete types was one; however, I also discovered 
  that complete RecordDecls aren't properly added to 
  the redecls chain for existing forward 
  declarations.

Sean Callanan b7160ca466 [clang-import-test] Lookup inside contexts
clang-import-test has until now been only able to report top-level Decls.
This is clearly insufficient; we should be able to look inside structs 
and namespaces also.  This patch adds new test cases for a variety of 
lookups inside existing ASTContexts, and adds the functionality necessar
to make most of these testcases work.  (One testcase is known to fail 
because of ASTImporter limitations when importing templates; I'll look 
into that separately.)

This patch also separates the core functionality out into 
ExternalASTMerger, an interface that allows clients like LLDB to make 
use of it.  clang-import-test now only has the machinery necessary to
set up the tests.

How the compiler is set up for dynamic parsing is generally left up to individual clients, for example LLDB's C/C++/Objective-C expression parser and the ROOT project.

Although this arrangement offers external clients the flexibility to implement dynamic features as they see fit, the lack of an in-tree client means that subtle bugs can be introduced that cause regressions in the external clients but aren't caught by tests (or users) until much later. LLDB for example regularly encounters complicated ODR violation scenarios where it is not immediately clear who is at fault.

Other external clients (notably, Cling) rely on similar functionality, and another goal is to break this functionality up into composable parts so that any client can be built easily on top of Clang without requiring extensive additional code.

I propose that the parts required to build a simple expression parser be added to Clang. Initially, I aim to have the following features:

A piece that looks up external declarations from a variety of sources (e.g., from previous dynamic compilations, from modules, or from DWARF) and uses clear conflict resolution rules to reconcile differences, with easily understood errors. This functionality will be supported by in-tree tests.
A piece that works hand in hand with the LLVM JIT to resolve the locations of external declarations so that e.g. variables can be redeclared and (for high-performance applications like DTrace) external variables can be accessed directly from the registers where they reside.
This commit adds a tester that parses a sequence of source files and then uses them as source data for an expression. External references are resolved using an ExternalASTSource that responds to name queries using an ASTImporter. This is the setup that LLDB uses, and the motivating reason for MinimalImport in ASTImporter. When complete, this tester will implement the first of the above goals.
