variable's destruction if it didn't do so during construction.
The standard doesn't give any guidance as to what to do here, but this
approach seems reasonable and conservative, and has been proposed to the
standard committee.
For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
This fixes miscomputation of __builtin_constant_evaluated in the
initializer of a variable that's not usable in constant expressions, but
is readable when constant-folding.
If evaluation of a constant initializer fails, we throw away the
evaluated result instead of keeping it as a non-constant-initializer
value for the variable, because it might not be a correct value.
To avoid regressions for initializers that are foldable but not formally
constant initializers, we now try constant-evaluating some globals in
C++ twice: once to check for a constant initializer (in an mode where
is_constannt_evaluated returns true) and again to determine the runtime
value if the initializer is not a constant initializer.
Summary:
Right now we annotate C++'s `operator new` with `noalias` attribute,
which very much is healthy for optimizations.
However as per [[ http://eel.is/c++draft/basic.stc.dynamic.allocation | `[basic.stc.dynamic.allocation]` ]],
there are more promises on global `operator new`, namely:
* non-`std::nothrow_t` `operator new` *never* returns `nullptr`
* If `std::align_val_t align` parameter is taken, the pointer will also be `align`-aligned
* ~~global `operator new`-returned pointer is `__STDCPP_DEFAULT_NEW_ALIGNMENT__`-aligned ~~ It's more caveated than that.
Supplying this information may not cause immediate landslide effects
on any specific benchmarks, but it for sure will be healthy for optimizer
in the sense that the IR will better reflect the guarantees provided in the source code.
The caveat is `-fno-assume-sane-operator-new`, which currently prevents emitting `noalias`
attribute, and is automatically passed by Sanitizers ([[ https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16386 | PR16386 ]]) - should it also cover these attributes?
The problem is that the flag is back-end-specific, as seen in `test/Modules/explicit-build-flags.cpp`.
But while it is okay to add `noalias` metadata in backend, we really should be adding at least
the alignment metadata to the AST, since that allows us to perform sema checks on it.

Summary:
Clang -fpic defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition (GCC -fpic defaults
to -fsemantic-interposition).
Users need to specify -fsemantic-interposition to get semantic
interposition behavior.
Semantic interposition is currently a best-effort feature. There may
still be some cases where it is not handled well.

Summary:
This patch implements `__builtin_is_constant_evaluated` as specifier by [P0595R2](https://wg21.link/p0595r2). It is built on the back of Bill Wendling's work for `__builtin_constant_p()`.
More tests to come, but early feedback is appreciated.
I plan to implement warnings for common mis-usages like those belowe in a following patch:
```
void foo(int x) {
if constexpr (std::is_constant_evaluated())) { // condition is always `true`. Should use plain `if` instead.
foo_constexpr(x);
} else {
foo_runtime(x);
}
}
```
