This avoids building a fake LLVM IR global variable just to ferry an i32
down into LLVM codegen. It also puts a nail in the coffin of using MS
ABI C++ EH with landingpads, since now we'll assert in the lpad code
when flags are present.

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.

The catch object parameter to llvm.eh.begincatch is optional, and can be
null. We can save some ourselves the stack space, copy ctor, and dtor
calls if we pass null.

Utilizing IMAGEREL relocations for synthetic IR constructs isn't
valuable, just clutter. While we are here, simplify HandlerType names
by making the numeric value for the 'adjective' part of the mangled name
instead of appending '.const', etc. The old scheme made for very long
global names and leads to wordy things like '.std_bad_alloc'
llvm-svn: 233503
The HandlerMap describes, to the runtime, what sort of catches surround
the try. In principle, this structure has to be emitted by the backend
because only it knows the layout of the stack (the runtime needs to know
where on the stack the destination of a copy lives, etc.) but there is
some C++ specific information that the backend can't reason about.
Stick this information in special LLVM globals with the relevant
"const", "volatile", "reference" info mangled into the name.

Qualifiers are located next to the TypeDescriptor in order to properly
ensure that a pointer type can only be caught by a more qualified catch
handler. This means that a catch handler of type 'const int *' requires
an RTTI object for 'int *'. We got this correct for 'throw' but not for
'catch'.
N.B. We don't currently have the means to store the qualifiers because
LLVM's EH strategy is tailored to the Itanium scheme. The Itanium ABI
stores qualifiers inside the type descriptor in such a way that the
manner of qualification is stored in addition to the pointee type's
descriptor. Perhaps the best way of modeling this for the MS ABI is
using an aggregate type to bundle the qualifiers with the descriptor?
This is tricky because we want to make it clear to the optimization
passes which catch handlers invalidate other handlers.
My current thoughts on a design for this is along the lines of:
{ { TypeDescriptor* TD, i32 QualifierFlags }, i32 MiscFlags }
The idea is that the inner most aggregate is all that is needed to
communicate that one catch handler might supercede another. The
'MiscFlags' field would be used to hold the bitpattern for the notion
that the 'catch' handler does not need to invoke a copy-constructor
because we are catching by reference.

Throwing a C++ exception, under the MS ABI, is implemented using three
components:
- ThrowInfo structure which contains information like CV qualifiers,
what destructor to call and a pointer to the CatchableTypeArray.
- In a significant departure from the Itanium ABI, copying by-value
occurs in the runtime and not at the catch site. This means we need
to enumerate all possible types that this exception could be caught as
and encode the necessary information to convert from the exception
object's type to the catch handler's type. This includes complicated
derived to base conversions and the execution of copy-constructors.
N.B. This implementation doesn't support the execution of a
copy-constructor from within the runtime for now. Adding support for
that functionality is quite difficult due to things like default
argument expressions which may evaluate arbitrary code hiding in the
copy-constructor's parameters.

Currently, users get error messages about RTTI descriptor mangling with
no useful source location. This addresses that.
Another approach would be to disable C++ exceptions by default in the
driver when using the Microsoft C++ ABI. However, this makes it
impossible to parse system headers that use exception handling
constructs. By delaying the error to IRgen, we can figure out if we
actually need to emit code for this construct. Additionally, users who
are only interested in building refactoring tools on Windows still get a
correct AST without having to add flags. Finally, this is consistent
with what we do for SEH.
