Unnamed bit-fields should not be represented in the TBAA metadata
because they do not represent storage fields (they only affect layout).
Zero-sized fields should not be represented in the TBAA metadata
because by definition they have no associated storage (so we will never
emit a load or store through them), and they might not appear in
declaration order within the struct layout.
Fixes a verifier failure when emitting a TBAA-enabled load through a
class type containing a zero-sized field.

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 patch fixes creating TBAA access descriptors for
may_alias-marked access types. Currently, for such types we
generate ordinary descriptors with char as its access type. The
patch changes this to produce proper may-alias descriptors.

Now that in the new TBAA format we allow access types to be of
any object types, including aggregate ones, it becomes critical
to specify types of all sub-objects such aggregates comprise as
their members. In order to meet this requirement, this patch
enables generation of field descriptors for members of array
types.

The basic idea behind this patch is that since in strict aliasing
mode all accesses to union members require their outermost
enclosing union objects to be specified explicitly, then for a
couple given accesses to union members of the form
p->a.b.c...
q->x.y.z...
it is known they can only alias if both p and q point to the same
union type and offset ranges of members a.b.c... and x.y.z...
overlap. Note that the actual types of the members do not matter.
Specifically, in this patch we do the following:
* Make unions to be valid TBAA base access types. This enables
generation of TBAA type descriptors for unions.
* Encode union types as structures with a single member of a
special "union member" type. Currently we do not encode
information about sizes of types, but conceptually such union
members are considered to be of the size of the whole union.
* Encode accesses to direct and indirect union members, including
member arrays, as accesses to these special members. All
accesses to members of a union thus get the same offset, which
is the offset of the union they are part of. This means the
existing LLVM TBAA machinery is able to handle such accesses
with no changes.
While this is already an improvement comparing to the current
situation, that is, representing all union accesses as may-alias
ones, there are further changes planned to complete the support
for unions. One of them is storing information about access sizes
so we can distinct accesses to non-overlapping union members,
including accesses to different elements of member arrays.
Another change is encoding type sizes in order to make it
possible to compute offsets within constant-indexed array
elements. These enhancements will be addressed with separate
patches.

The information about access and type sizes is necessary for

This patch is an attempt to clarify and simplify generation and
propagation of TBAA information. The idea is to pack all values
that describe a memory access, namely, base type, access type and
offset, into a single structure. This is supposed to make further
changes, such as adding support for unions and array members,
easier to prepare and review.
DecorateInstructionWithTBAA() is no more responsible for
converting types to tags. These implicit conversions not only
complicate reading the code, but also suggest assigning scalar
access tags while we generally prefer full-size struct-path tags.
TBAAPathTag is replaced with TBAAAccessInfo; the latter is now
the type of the keys of the cache map that translates access
descriptors to metadata nodes.
Fixed a bug with writing to a wrong map in
getTBAABaseTypeMetadata() (former getTBAAStructTypeInfo()).
We now check for valid base access types every time we
dereference a field. The original code only checks the top-level
base type. See isValidBaseType() / isTBAAPathStruct() calls.
Some entities have been renamed to sound more adequate and less
confusing/misleading in presence of path-aware TBAA information.
Now we do not lookup twice for the same cache entry in
getAccessTagInfo().
Refined relevant comments and descriptions.

llvm-svn: 315048
This patch makes it possible to produce access tags in a uniform
manner regardless whether the resulting tag will be a scalar or a
struct-path one. getAccessTagInfo() now takes care of the actual
translation of access descriptors to tags and can handle all
kinds of accesses. Facilities that specific to scalar accesses
are eliminated.
Some more details:
* DecorateInstructionWithTBAA() is not responsible for conversion
of types to access tags anymore. Instead, it takes an access
descriptor (TBAAAccessInfo) and generates corresponding access
tag from it.
* getTBAAInfoForVTablePtr() reworked to
getTBAAVTablePtrAccessInfo() that now returns the
virtual-pointer access descriptor and not the virtual-point
type metadata.
* Added function getTBAAMayAliasAccessInfo() that returns the
descriptor for may-alias accesses.
* getTBAAStructTagInfo() renamed to getTBAAAccessTagInfo() as now
it is the only way to generate access tag by a given access
descriptor. It is capable of producing both scalar and
struct-path tags, depending on options and availability of the
base access type. getTBAAScalarTagInfo() and its cache
ScalarTagMetadataCache are eliminated.
* Now that we do not need to care about whether the resulting
access tag should be a scalar or struct-path one,
getTBAAStructTypeInfo() is renamed to getBaseTypeInfo().
* Added function getTBAAAccessInfo() that constructs access
descriptor by a given QualType access type.

This commit changes the root from "Simple C/C++ TBAA" to "Simple C++ TBAA" for
C++.
The problem is that the type name in the TBAA nodes is generated differently
for C vs C++. If we link an IR file for C with an IR file for C++, since they
have the same root and the type names are different, accesses to the two type
nodes will be considered no-alias, even though the two type nodes are from
the same type in a header file.
The fix is to use different roots for C and C++. Types from C will be treated
conservatively in respect to types from C++.
Follow-up commits will change the C root to "Simple C TBAA" plus some mangling
change for C types to make it a little more aggresive.

Summary:
RTTI is not yet implemented for the Microsoft C++ ABI and isn't expected
soon. We could easily add the mangling, but the error is what prevents
us from silently miscompiling code that expects RTTI.
Instead, add a new mangleTypeName entry point that simply forwards to
mangleName or mangleType to produce a string that isn't part of the ABI.
Itanium can continue to use RTTI names to avoid unecessary test
breakage.
This also seems like the right design. The fact that TBAA names happen
to be RTTI names is now an implementation detail of the mangler, rather
than part of TBAA.

An updated version of r191586 with bug fix.
Struct-path aware TBAA generates tags to specify the access path,
while scalar TBAA only generates tags to scalar types.
We should not generate a TBAA tag with null being the first field. When
a TBAA type node is null, the tag should be null too. Make sure we
don't decorate an instruction with a null TBAA tag.
Added a testing case for the bug reported by Richard with -relaxed-aliasing
and -fsanitizer=thread.

With r185721, calling mangleCXXRTTIName on C code will cause crashes.
This commit fixes crashes on C testing cases when turning on struct-path TBAA.
For C code, we simply use the Decl name without the context. This can
cause two different structs having the same name, and may cause inaccurate but
conservative alias results.
llvm-svn: 188930
This changes the TBAA code so it doesn't use mangleCXXRTTIName in C,
because it doesn't really make sense there. Also, as sort of a
defense-in-depth change, fix the mangler so it handles C RecordDecls
correctly.
No tests because I don't know the TBAA code well enough to write a test,
and I don't know how else to trigger mangling a local struct in C.
Fixes a crash with r185450 reported by Joerg Sonnenberger.

For struct-path aware TBAA, we used to use scalar type node as the scalar tag,

We also uniformize the scalar type node and the struct type node: name, a list
of pairs (offset + pointer to MDNode). For scalar type, we have a single pair.
