Without this patch, clang will not wrap in an ElaboratedType node types written
without a keyword and nested name qualifier, which goes against the intent that
we should produce an AST which retains enough details to recover how things are
written.
The lack of this sugar is incompatible with the intent of the type printer
default policy, which is to print types as written, but to fall back and print
them fully qualified when they are desugared.
An ElaboratedTypeLoc without keyword / NNS uses no storage by itself, but still
requires pointer alignment due to pre-existing bug in the TypeLoc buffer
handling.
---
Troubleshooting list to deal with any breakage seen with this patch:
1) The most likely effect one would see by this patch is a change in how
a type is printed. The type printer will, by design and default,
print types as written. There are customization options there, but
not that many, and they mainly apply to how to print a type that we
somehow failed to track how it was written. This patch fixes a
problem where we failed to distinguish between a type
that was written without any elaborated-type qualifiers,
such as a 'struct'/'class' tags and name spacifiers such as 'std::',
and one that has been stripped of any 'metadata' that identifies such,
the so called canonical types.
Example:
```
namespace foo {
struct A {};
A a;
};
```
If one were to print the type of `foo::a`, prior to this patch, this
would result in `foo::A`. This is how the type printer would have,
by default, printed the canonical type of A as well.
As soon as you add any name qualifiers to A, the type printer would
suddenly start accurately printing the type as written. This patch
will make it print it accurately even when written without
qualifiers, so we will just print `A` for the initial example, as
the user did not really write that `foo::` namespace qualifier.
2) This patch could expose a bug in some AST matcher. Matching types
is harder to get right when there is sugar involved. For example,
if you want to match a type against being a pointer to some type A,
then you have to account for getting a type that is sugar for a
pointer to A, or being a pointer to sugar to A, or both! Usually
you would get the second part wrong, and this would work for a
very simple test where you don't use any name qualifiers, but
you would discover is broken when you do. The usual fix is to
either use the matcher which strips sugar, which is annoying
to use as for example if you match an N level pointer, you have
to put N+1 such matchers in there, beginning to end and between
all those levels. But in a lot of cases, if the property you want
to match is present in the canonical type, it's easier and faster
to just match on that... This goes with what is said in 1), if
you want to match against the name of a type, and you want
the name string to be something stable, perhaps matching on
the name of the canonical type is the better choice.
3) This patch could expose a bug in how you get the source range of some
TypeLoc. For some reason, a lot of code is using getLocalSourceRange(),
which only looks at the given TypeLoc node. This patch introduces a new,
and more common TypeLoc node which contains no source locations on itself.
This is not an inovation here, and some other, more rare TypeLoc nodes could
also have this property, but if you use getLocalSourceRange on them, it's not
going to return any valid locations, because it doesn't have any. The right fix
here is to always use getSourceRange() or getBeginLoc/getEndLoc which will dive
into the inner TypeLoc to get the source range if it doesn't find it on the
top level one. You can use getLocalSourceRange if you are really into
micro-optimizations and you have some outside knowledge that the TypeLocs you are
dealing with will always include some source location.
4) Exposed a bug somewhere in the use of the normal clang type class API, where you
have some type, you want to see if that type is some particular kind, you try a
`dyn_cast` such as `dyn_cast<TypedefType>` and that fails because now you have an
ElaboratedType which has a TypeDefType inside of it, which is what you wanted to match.
Again, like 2), this would usually have been tested poorly with some simple tests with
no qualifications, and would have been broken had there been any other kind of type sugar,
be it an ElaboratedType or a TemplateSpecializationType or a SubstTemplateParmType.
The usual fix here is to use `getAs` instead of `dyn_cast`, which will look deeper
into the type. Or use `getAsAdjusted` when dealing with TypeLocs.
For some reason the API is inconsistent there and on TypeLocs getAs behaves like a dyn_cast.
5) It could be a bug in this patch perhaps.
Let me know if you need any help!

initializers.
This has some interesting interactions with our existing extensions to
support C99 designated initializers as an extension in C++. Those are
resolved as follows:
* We continue to permit the full breadth of C99 designated initializers
in C++, with the exception that we disallow a partial overwrite of an
initializer with a non-trivially-destructible type. (Full overwrite
is OK, because we won't run the first initializer at all.)
* The C99 extensions are disallowed in SFINAE contexts and during
overload resolution, where they could change the meaning of valid
programs.
* C++20 disallows reordering of initializers. We only check for that for
the simple cases that the C++20 rules permit (designators of the form
'.field_name =' and continue to allow reordering in other cases).
It would be nice to improve this behavior in future.
* All C99 designated initializer extensions produce a warning by
default in C++20 mode. People are going to learn the C++ rules based
on what Clang diagnoses, so it's important we diagnose these properly
by default.
* In C++ <= 17, we apply the C++20 rules rather than the C99 rules, and
so still diagnose C99 extensions as described above. We continue to
accept designated C++20-compatible initializers in C++ <= 17 silently
by default (but naturally still reject under -pedantic-errors).
This is not a complete implementation of P0329R4. In particular, that
paper introduces new non-C99-compatible syntax { .field { init } }, and
we do not support that yet.
This is based on a previous patch by Don Hinton, though I've made
substantial changes when addressing the above interactions.

This change fixes a crash on initialization of a reference from ({}) during
template instantiation and incidentally improves diagnostics.
This reverts a prior attempt to handle this in r286721. Instead, we teach the
initialization code that initialization cannot be performed if a source type
is required and the initializer is an initializer list (which is not an
expression and does not have a type), and likewise for function-style cast
expressions.
llvm-svn: 298676
copy-initialization. We previously got this wrong in a couple of ways:
- we only looked for copy / move constructors and constructor templates for
this copy, and thus would fail to copy in cases where doing so should use
some other constructor (but see core issue 670),
- we mishandled the special case for disabling user-defined conversions that
blocks infinite recursion through repeated application of a copy constructor
(applying it in slightly too many cases) -- though as far as I can tell,
this does not ever actually affect the result of overload resolution, and
- we misapplied the special-case rules for constructors taking a parameter
whose type is a (reference to) the same class type by incorrectly assuming
that only happens for copy/move constructors (it also happens for
constructors instantiated from templates and those inherited from base
classes).
These changes should only affect strange corner cases (for instance, where the
copy constructor exists but has a non-const-qualified parameter type), so for
the most part it only causes us to produce more 'candidate' notes, but see the
test changes for other cases whose behavior is affected.
llvm-svn: 280776
based on whether "redundant" braces are ever reasonable as part of the
initialization of the entity, rather than whether the initialization is
"top-level". In passing, add a warning flag for it.
llvm-svn: 228896
elements from {}, rather than value-initializing them. This permits calling an
initializer-list constructor or constructing a std::initializer_list object.
(It would also permit initializing a const reference or rvalue reference if
that weren't explicitly prohibited by other rules.)
llvm-svn: 210091
just the extremely specific case of a trailing array element that couldn't be
initialized because the default constructor for the element type is deleted.
Also reword the diagnostic to better match our other context diagnostics and to
prepare for the implementation of core issue 1070.
llvm-svn: 210083
The conventional form is '<action> to silence this warning'.
Also call the diagnostic an 'issue' rather than a 'message' because the latter
term is more widely used with reference to message expressions.
llvm-svn: 209052
caused us to perform copy-initialization for the parameters of an allocation
function called by a new-expression multiple times, resulting in us rejecting
allocations that passed non-copyable parameters (and much worse things in
MSVC compat mode, where we potentially called this function multiple times).
llvm-svn: 208724
copy-list-initialization (and doesn't add an additional copy step):
Fill in the ListInitialization bit when creating a CXXConstructExpr. Use it
when instantiating initializers in order to correctly handle instantiation of
copy-list-initialization. Teach TreeTransform that function arguments are
initializations, and so need this special treatment too. Finally, remove some
hacks which were working around SubstInitializer's shortcomings.
llvm-svn: 170489
type checking for non-static data member initializers in a dependent
class, because our ASTs lose too much information to when
type-checking an initializer. Fixes <rdar://problem/11974632>,
although the result is still rather unsatisfactory.
llvm-svn: 163871
actually perform value initialization rather than trying to fake it with a call
to the default constructor. Fixes various bugs related to the previously-missing
zero-initialization in this case.
I've also moved this and the other list initialization 'special case' from
TryConstructorInitialization into TryListInitialization where they belong.
