Volodymyr Sapsai 30680e9437 [Sema] Add support for flexible array members in Obj-C.
Allow Obj-C ivars with incomplete array type but only as the last ivar.
Also add a requirement for ivars that contain a flexible array member to
be at the end of class too. It is possible to add in a subclass another
ivar at the end but we'll emit a warning in this case. Also we'll emit a
warning if a variable sized ivar is declared in class extension or in
implementation because subclasses won't know they should avoid adding
new ivars.

In ARC incomplete array objects are treated as __unsafe_unretained so
require them to be marked as such.

Prohibit synthesizing ivars with flexible array members because order of
synthesized ivars is not obvious and tricky to control. Spelling out
ivar explicitly gives control to developers and helps to avoid surprises
with unexpected ivar ordering.

For C and C++ changed diagnostic to tell explicitly a field is not the
last one and point to the next field. It is not as useful as in Obj-C
but it is an improvement and it is consistent with Obj-C. For C for
unions emit more specific err_flexible_array_union instead of generic
err_field_incomplete.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
on the Clang development mailing list:
