We could only do this in limited ways (since we emit the TUs first, we
can't use ref_addr (& we can't use that in Split DWARF either) - so we
had to synthesize declarations into the TUs) and they were ambiguous in
some cases (if the CU type had internal linkage, parsing the TU would
require knowing which CU was referencing the TU to know which type the
declaration was for, which seems not-ideal). So to avoid all that, let's
just not reference types defined in the CU from TUs - instead moving the
TU type into the CU (recursively).
This does increase debug info size (by pulling more things out of type
units, into the compile unit) - about 2% of uncompressed dwp file size
for clang -O0 -g -gsplit-dwarf. (5% .debug_info.dwo section size
increase in the .dwp)
This reverts commit ab4756338c.
Breaks some cases, including this:
namespace {
template <typename> struct a {};
} // namespace
class c {
c();
};
class b {
b();
a<c> ax;
};
b::b() {}
c::c() {}
By producing a reference to a type unit for "c" but not producing the type unit.
LLVM DebugInfo CodeGen synthesizes type declarations in type units when
referencing types that are not in type units. When those synthesized
types are templates and simplified template names (or mangled simplified
template names) are in use, the template arguments must be attached to
those declarations.
A deeper fix (with a CU or DICompositeType flag) that would also support
other uses of clang's -debug-forward-template-args (such as Sony's
platform) could/should be implemented to fix this more broadly.
Doing this causes a declaration of the internal linkage (anonymous
namespace) type to be emitted in the type unit, which would then be
ambiguous as to which internal linkage definition it refers to (since
the name is only valid internally).
It's possible these internal linkage types could be resolved relative to
the unit the TU is referred to from - but that doesn't seem ideal, and
there's no reason to put the type in a type unit since it can only be
defined in one CU anyway (since otherwise it'd be an ODR violation) & so
avoiding the type unit should be a smaller DWARF encoding anyway.
This also addresses an issue with Simplified Template Names where the
template parameter could not be rebuilt from the declaration emitted
into the TU (specifically for an enum non-type template parameter, where
looking up the enumerators is necessary to rebuild the full template
name)
Summary: The lit feature object-emission was added because Hexagon did not support the integrated assembler, so some tests needed to be turned off with a Hexagon target. Hexagon now supports the integrated assembler, so this feature can be removed.

While this doesn't come up in reasonable cases currently (the only user
defined types not in type units are ones without linkage - which makes
for near-ODR violations, because it'd be a type with linkage referencing
a type without linkage - such a type can't be validly defined in more
than one TU, so arguably it shouldn't be in a type unit to begin with -
but it's a convenient way to demonstrate an issue that will become more
revalent with homed modular debug info type definitions - which also
don't need to be in type units but more legitimately so).
Precursor to the Clang change to de-type-unit (by omitting the
'identifier') types homed due to strong linkage vtables. (making that
change without this one would lead to major type duplication in type
units)
