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.

This is the second part of recommit of r325224. The previous part was
committed in r325426, which deals with C++ memory allocation. Solution
for C memory allocation involved functions `llvm::malloc` and similar.
This was a fragile solution because it caused ambiguity errors in some
cases. In this commit the new functions have names like `llvm::safe_malloc`.
The relevant part of original comment is below, updated for new function
names.
Analysis of fails in the case of out of memory errors can be tricky on
Windows. Such error emerges at the point where memory allocation function
fails, but manifests itself when null pointer is used. These two points
may be distant from each other. Besides, next runs may not exhibit
allocation error.
In some cases memory is allocated by a call to some of C allocation
functions, malloc, calloc and realloc. They are used for interoperability
with C code, when allocated object has variable size and when it is
necessary to avoid call of constructors. In many calls the result is not
checked for null pointer. To simplify checks, new functions are defined
in the namespace 'llvm': `safe_malloc`, `safe_calloc` and `safe_realloc`.
They behave as corresponding standard functions but produce fatal error if
allocation fails. This change replaces the standard functions like 'malloc'
in the cases when the result of the allocation function is not checked
for null pointer.
Finally, there are plain C code, that uses malloc and similar functions. If
the result is not checked, assert statement is added.

Analysis of fails in the case of out of memory errors can be tricky on
Windows. Such error emerges at the point where memory allocation function
fails, but manifests itself when null pointer is used. These two points
may be distant from each other. Besides, next runs may not exhibit
allocation error.
Usual programming practice does not require checking result of 'operator
new' because it throws 'std::bad_alloc' in the case of allocation error.
However, LLVM is usually built with exceptions turned off, so 'new' can
return null pointer. This change installs custom new handler, which causes
fatal error in the case of out of memory. The handler is installed
automatically prior to call to 'main' during construction of a static
object defined in 'lib/Support/ErrorHandling.cpp'. If the application does
not use this file, the handler may be installed manually by a call to
'llvm::install_out_of_memory_new_handler', declared in
'include/llvm/Support/ErrorHandling.h".
There are calls to C allocation functions, malloc, calloc and realloc.
They are used for interoperability with C code, when allocated object has
variable size and when it is necessary to avoid call of constructors. In
many calls the result is not checked against null pointer. To simplify
checks, new functions are defined in the namespace 'llvm' with the
same names as these C function. These functions produce fatal error if
allocation fails. User should use 'llvm::malloc' instead of 'std::malloc'
in order to use the safe variant. This change replaces 'std::malloc'
in the cases when the result of allocation function is not checked against
null pointer.
Finally, there are plain C code, that uses malloc and similar functions. If
the result is not checked, assert statements are added.

r297310 began inserting red zones around allocations under ASan, which
perturbs the alignment of subsequent allocations. Deliberately specify
this in two places where it matters.
Fixes failures when these tests are run under ASan and UBSan together.

Instead of aligning and moving the CurPtr forward, and then comparing
with End, simply calculate how much space is needed, and compare that
to how much is available.
Hopefully this avoids any doubts about comparing addresses possibly
derived from past the end of the slab array, overflowing, etc.
Also add a test where aligning CurPtr would move it past End.
llvm-svn: 217330
In theory, alignPtr() could push a pointer beyond the end of the current slab, making
comparisons with that pointer undefined behaviour. Use an integer type to avoid this.
llvm-svn: 216973
We already handle the no-slabs case when checking whether the current slab
is large enough: if no slabs have been allocated, CurPtr and End are both 0.
alignPtr(0), will still be 0, and so "if (Ptr + Size <= End)" fails.

by removing the MallocSlabAllocator entirely and just using
MallocAllocator directly. This makes all off these allocators expose and
utilize the same core interface.
The only ugly part of this is that it exposes the fact that the JIT
allocator has no real handling of alignment, any more than the malloc
allocator does. =/ It would be nice to fix both of these to support
alignments, and then to leverage that in the BumpPtrAllocator to do less
over allocation in order to manually align pointers. But, that's another
patch for another day. This patch has no functional impact, it just
removes the somewhat meaningless wrapper around MallocAllocator.

abstract interface. The only user of this functionality is the JIT
memory manager and it is quite happy to have a custom type here. This
removes a virtual function call and a lot of unnecessary abstraction
from the common case where this is just a *very* thin vaneer around
a call to malloc.
Hopefully still no functionality changed here. =]

slabs rather than embedding a singly linked list in the slabs
themselves. This has a few advantages:
- Better utilization of the slab's memory by not wasting 16-bytes at the
front.
- Simpler allocation strategy by not having a struct packed at the
front.
- Avoids paging every allocated slab in just to traverse them for
deallocating or dumping stats.
The latter is the really nice part. Folks have complained from time to
time bitterly that tearing down a BumpPtrAllocator, even if it doesn't
run any destructors, pages in all of the memory allocated. Now it won't.

Also resolves a FIXME with the scaling of the slab sizes. The scaling
now disregards specially sized slabs for allocations larger than the
threshold.

parameters rather than runtime parameters.
There is only one user of these parameters and they are compile time for
that user. Making these compile time seems to better reflect their
intended usage as well.

malloc, so there should be no functional changes to other code.
These changes are necessary since I have plans to use this allocator in the JIT
memory manager, and it needs a special allocator.
I also added some tests which helped me pinpoint some bugs.
