This patch adds a new field called EmittedDeferredDecls in CodeGenModule
that keeps track of decls that were deferred and have been emitted.
The intention of this patch is to solve issues in the incremental c++,
we'll lose info of decls that are lazily emitted when we undo their
usage.
See example below:
clang-repl> inline int foo() { return 42;}
clang-repl> int bar = foo();
clang-repl> %undo
clang-repl> int baz = foo();
JIT session error: Symbols not found: [ _Z3foov ]
error: Failed to materialize symbols: { (main, { baz, $.incr_module_2.inits.0,
orc_init_func.incr_module_2 }) }

In interactive C++ it is convenient to roll back to a previous state of the
compiler. For example:
clang-repl> int x = 42;
clang-repl> %undo
clang-repl> float x = 24 // not an error
To support this, the patch extends the functionality used to recover from
errors and adds functionality to recover the low-level execution infrastructure.
The current implementation is based on watermarks. It exploits the fact that
at each incremental input the underlying compiler infrastructure is in a valid
state. We can only go N incremental inputs back to a previous valid state. We do
not need and do not do any further dependency tracking.
This patch was co-developed with V. Vassilev, relies on the past work of Purva
Chaudhari in clang-repl and is inspired by the past work on the same feature
in the Cling interpreter.
