The pointer for a class's RTTI data comes right before the VFTable but
has no name. To be properly compatible with this, we do the following:
* Create a single GlobalVariable which holds the contents of the VFTable
_and_ the pointer to the RTTI data.
* Create a GlobalAlias, with appropriate linkage/visibility, that points
just after the RTTI data pointer. This ensures that the VFTable
symbol will always refer to VFTable data.
* Create a Comdat with a "Largest" SelectionKind and stick the private
GlobalVariable in it. By transitivity, the GlobalAlias will be a
member of the Comdat group. Using "Largest" ensures that foreign
definitions without an RTTI data pointer will _not_ be chosen in the
final linked image.
Whether or not we emit RTTI data depends on several things:
* The -fno-rtti flag implies that we should never not emit a pointer to
RTTI data before the VFTable.
* __declspec(dllimport) brings in the VFTable from a remote DLL. Use an
available_externally GlobalVariable to provide a local definition of
the VFTable. This means that we won't have any available_externally
definitions of things like complete object locators. This is
acceptable because they are never directly referenced.
To my knowledge, this completes the implementation of MSVC RTTI code
generation.
Further semantic work should be done to properly support /GR-.

Member pointers are mangled as they would be represented at runtime.
They can be a single integer literal, single decl, or a tuple with some
more numbers tossed in. With Clang today, most of those numbers will be
zero because we reject pointers to members of virtual bases.
This change required moving VTableContextBase ownership from
CodeGenVTables to ASTContext, because mangling now depends on vtable
layout.
I also hoisted the inheritance model helpers up to be inline static
methods of MSInheritanceAttr. This makes the AST code that deals with
member pointers much more readable.
MSVC doesn't appear to have stable manglings of null member pointers:
- Null data memptrs in function templates have a mangling collision with
the first field of a non-polymorphic single inheritance class.
- The mangling of null data memptrs changes if you add casts.
- Large null function memptrs in class templates crash MSVC.
Clang uses the class template mangling for null data memptrs and the
function template mangling for null function memptrs to deal with this.

Now CodeGenVTables has only one VTableContext object, which is either
Itanium or Microsoft.
Fixes a FIXME with no functionality change intended.
Ideally we could avoid the downcasts by pushing the things that
reference the Itanium vtable context into ItaniumCXXABI.cpp, but we're
not there yet.

This function only makes sense there. Eventually it should no longer
be part of the CGCXXABI interface, as it is an Itanium-specific detail.

never key functions. We did not implement that rule for the
iOS ABI, which was driven by what was implemented in gcc-4.2.
However, implement it now for other ARM-based platforms.

uncovered.
This required manually correcting all of the incorrect main-module
headers I could find, and running the new llvm/utils/sort_includes.py
script over the files.
I also manually added quite a few missing headers that were uncovered by
shuffling the order or moving headers up to be main-module-headers.

Emit them instead with the linkage of the VTT.
I'm actually really ambivalent about this; it's what GCC does, but outside
of improving code size (if the linkage is coalescing), I'm not sure it's
at all relevant. Construction vtables are naturally referenced only by the
VTT, which is itself only referenced by complete-object constructors and
destructors; giving the construction vtables possibly-external linkage is
important if you have an optimization that drills through the VTT to a
reference to a particular construction vtable which it cannot just emit
itself.

process, perform a number of refactorings:
- Move MiscNameMangler member functions to MangleContext
- Remove GlobalDecl dependency from MangleContext
- Make MangleContext abstract and move Itanium/Microsoft functionality
to their own classes/files
- Implement ASTContext::createMangleContext and have CodeGen use it
No (intended) functionality change.

"used" (e.g., we will refer to the vtable in the generated code) and
when they are defined (i.e., because we've seen the key function
definition). Previously, we were effectively tracking "potential
definitions" rather than uses, so we were a bit too eager about emitting
vtables for classes without key functions.
The new scheme:
- For every use of a vtable, Sema calls MarkVTableUsed() to indicate
the use. For example, this occurs when calling a virtual member
function of the class, defining a constructor of that class type,
dynamic_cast'ing from that type to a derived class, casting
to/through a virtual base class, etc.
- For every definition of a vtable, Sema calls MarkVTableUsed() to
indicate the definition. This happens at the end of the translation
unit for classes whose key function has been defined (so we can
delay computation of the key function; see PR6564), and will also
occur with explicit template instantiation definitions.
- For every vtable defined/used, we mark all of the virtual member
functions of that vtable as defined/used, unless we know that the key
function is in another translation unit. This instantiates virtual
member functions when needed.
- At the end of the translation unit, Sema tells CodeGen (via the
ASTConsumer) which vtables must be defined (CodeGen will define
them) and which may be used (for which CodeGen will define the
vtables lazily).
From a language perspective, both the old and the new schemes are
permissible: we're allowed to instantiate virtual member functions
whenever we want per the standard. However, all other C++ compilers
were more lazy than we were, and our eagerness was both a performance
issue (we instantiated too much) and a portability problem (we broke
Boost test cases, which now pass).
Notes:
(1) There's a ton of churn in the tests, because the order in which
vtables get emitted to IR has changed. I've tried to isolate some of
the larger tests from these issues.
(2) Some diagnostics related to
implicitly-instantiated/implicitly-defined virtual member functions
have moved to the point of first use/definition. It's better this
way.
(3) I could use a review of the places where we MarkVTableUsed, to
see if I missed any place where the language effectively requires a
vtable.
Fixes PR7114 and PR6564.
