__attribute__((objc_direct)) is an attribute on methods declaration, and
__attribute__((objc_direct_members)) on implementation, categories or
extensions.
A `direct` property specifier is added (@property(direct) type name)
These attributes / specifiers cause the method to have no associated
Objective-C metadata (for the property or the method itself), and the
calling convention to be a direct C function call.
The symbol for the method has enforced hidden visibility and such direct
calls are hence unreachable cross image. An explicit C function must be
made if so desired to wrap them.
The implicit `self` and `_cmd` arguments are preserved, however to
maintain compatibility with the usual `objc_msgSend` semantics,
3 fundamental precautions are taken:
1) for instance methods, `self` is nil-checked. On arm64 backends this
typically adds a single instruction (cbz x0, <closest-ret>) to the
codegen, for the vast majority of the cases when the return type is a
scalar.
2) for class methods, because the class may not be realized/initialized
yet, a call to `[self self]` is emitted. When the proper deployment
target is used, this is optimized to `objc_opt_self(self)`.
However, long term we might want to emit something better that the
optimizer can reason about. When inlining kicks in, these calls
aren't optimized away as the optimizer has no idea that a single call
is really necessary.
3) the calling convention for the `_cmd` argument is changed: the caller
leaves the second argument to the call undefined, and the selector is
loaded inside the body when it's referenced only.
As far as error reporting goes, the compiler refuses:
- making any overloads direct,
- making an overload of a direct method,
- implementations marked as direct when the declaration in the
interface isn't (the other way around is allowed, as the direct
attribute is inherited from the declaration),
- marking methods required for protocol conformance as direct,
- messaging an unqualified `id` with a direct method,
- forming any @selector() expression with only direct selectors.
As warnings:
- any inconsistency of direct-related calling convention when
@selector() or messaging is used,
- forming any @selector() expression with a possibly direct selector.
Lastly an `objc_direct_members` attribute is added that can decorate
`@implementation` blocks and causes methods only declared there (and in
no `@interface`) to be automatically direct. When decorating an
`@interface` then all methods and properties declared in this block are
marked direct.

This patch is motivated by (and factored out from)
https://reviews.llvm.org/D66121 which is a debug info bugfix. Starting
with DWARF 5 all Objective-C methods are nested inside their
containing type, and that patch implements this for synthesized
Objective-C properties.
1. SemaObjCProperty populates a list of synthesized accessors that may
need to inserted into an ObjCImplDecl.
2. SemaDeclObjC::ActOnEnd inserts forward-declarations for all
accessors for which no override was provided into their
ObjCImplDecl. This patch does *not* synthesize AST function
*bodies*. Moving that code from the static analyzer into Sema may
be a good idea though.
3. Places that expect all methods to have bodies have been updated.
I did not update the static analyzer's inliner for synthesized
properties to point back to the property declaration (see
test/Analysis/Inputs/expected-plists/nullability-notes.m.plist), which
I believed to be more bug than a feature.

The static analyzer is warning about potential null dereferences, but in these cases we should be able to use castAs<> directly and if not assert will fire for us.

Summary:
Based on a patch by Dustin Howett, modified to not change the ABI for
ELF platforms.
Use more Windows-like section names.
This also makes things more readable by PE/COFF debug tools that assume
sections fit in the first header.
With these changes in, it is now possible to build a working WinObjC
with clang and the WinObjC version of GNUstep libobjc (upstream GNUstep
libobjc + a work around for incremental linking, which can be removed
once LINK.EXE gains a feature to opt sections out of receiving extra
padding during an incremental link).

The various EltSize, Offset, DataLayout, and StructLayout arguments
are all computable from the Address's element type and the DataLayout
which the CGBuilder already has access to.
After having previously asserted that the computed values are the same

to reflect the new license.
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.

We were not emitting a protocol definition while generating the category
method list. This was fine in most cases, because something else in the
library typically referenced any given protocol, but it caused linker
failures if the category was the only reference to a given protocol.

We were emitting the null class symbol in the wrong section, which meant
that programs that contained no Objective-C classes would fail to link.

Summary:
This probably fixes PR35277, though there may be other sources of
nondeterminism (this was the only case of iterating over a DenseMap).
It's difficult to provide a test case for this, because it shows up only
on systems with ASLR enabled.

These were intended to allow non-fragile and fragile ABI code to be

the non-fragile ones. Unfortunately:
- No one actually wants to do this.
- Recent versions of Linux's run-time linker break it.

Summary:
Protocols that were being referenced but could not be fully realized were being emitted without `properties`/`optional_properties`. Since all v3 protocols must be 9 processor words wide, the lack of these fields is catastrophic for the runtime.
As an example, the runtime cannot know [here](https://github.com/gnustep/libobjc2/blob/master/protocol.c#L73) that `properties` and `optional_properties` are invalid.

The indirect function argument is in alloca address space in LLVM IR. However,
during Clang codegen for C++, the address space of indirect function argument
should match its address space in the source code, i.e., default addr space, even
for indirect argument. This is because destructor of the indirect argument may
be called in the caller function, and address of the indirect argument may be
taken, in either case the indirect function argument is expected to be in default
addr space, not the alloca address space.
Therefore, the indirect function argument should be mapped to the temp var
casted to default address space. The caller will cast it to alloca addr space
when passing it to the callee. In the callee, the argument is also casted to the
default address space and used.
CallArg is refactored to facilitate this fix.

So I wrote a clang-tidy check to lint out redundant `isa`, `cast`, and
`dyn_cast`s for fun. This is a portion of what it found for clang; I
plan to do similar cleanups in LLVM and other subprojects when I find
time.
Because of the volume of changes, I explicitly avoided making any change
that wasn't highly local and obviously correct to me (e.g. we still have
a number of foo(cast<Bar>(baz)) that I didn't touch, since overloading
is a thing and the cast<Bar> did actually change the type -- just up the
class hierarchy).
I also tried to leave the types we were cast<>ing to somewhere nearby,
in cases where it wasn't locally obvious what we were dealing with
before.

Summary:
Do three things to help with that:
- Add AttributeList::FirstArgIndex, which is an enumerator currently set
to 1. It allows us to change the indexing scheme with fewer changes.
- Add addParamAttr/removeParamAttr. This just shortens addAttribute call
sites that would otherwise need to spell out FirstArgIndex.
- Remove some attribute-specific getters and setters from Function that
take attribute list indices. Most of these were only used from
BuildLibCalls, and doesNotAlias was only used to test or set if the
return value is malloc-like.
I'm happy to split the patch, but I think they are probably easier to
review when taken together.
This patch should be NFC, but it sets the stage to change the indexing
scheme to this, which is more convenient when indexing into an array:
0: func attrs
1: retattrs
2...: arg attrs

The goal here is to make it easier to recognize indirect calls and
trigger additional logic in certain cases. That logic will come in
a later patch; in the meantime, I felt that this was a significant
