Summary:
Freestanding is *weird*. The standard allows it to differ in a bunch of odd
manners from regular C++, and the committee would like to improve that
situation. I'd like to make libc++ behave better with what freestanding should
be, so that it can be a tool we use in improving the standard. To do that we
need to try stuff out, both with "freestanding the language mode" and
"freestanding the library subset".
Let's start with the super basic: run the libc++ tests in freestanding, using
clang as the compiler, and see what works. The easiest hack to do this:
In utils/libcxx/test/config.py add:
self.cxx.compile_flags += ['-ffreestanding']
Run the tests and they all fail.
Why? Because in freestanding `main` isn't special. This "not special" property
has two effects: main doesn't get mangled, and main isn't allowed to omit its
`return` statement. The first means main gets mangled and the linker can't
create a valid executable for us to test. The second means we spew out warnings
(ew) and the compiler doesn't insert the `return` we omitted, and main just
falls of the end and does whatever undefined behavior (if you're luck, ud2
leading to non-zero return code).
Let's start my work with the basics. This patch changes all libc++ tests to
declare `main` as `int main(int, char**` so it mangles consistently (enabling us
to declare another `extern "C"` main for freestanding which calls the mangled
one), and adds `return 0;` to all places where it was missing. This touches 6124
files, and I apologize.
The former was done with The Magic Of Sed.
The later was done with a (not quite correct but decent) clang tool:

This works for most tests, though I did have to adjust a few places when e.g.
the test runs with `-x c`, macros are used for main (such as for the filesystem
tests), etc.
Once this is in we can create a freestanding bot which will prevent further
regressions. After that, we can start the real work of supporting C++
freestanding fairly well in libc++.

to reflect the new license. These used slightly different spellings that
defeated my regular expressions.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
This patch introduces some black magic to detect const and volatile qualified function types such as `void () const`.
The patch works in the following way:
We first rule out any type that satisfies on of the following. These restrictions are important so that the test below works properly.
* `is_class<_Tp>::value`
* `is_union<_Tp>::value`
* `is_void<_Tp>::value`
* `is_reference<_Tp>::value`
* `__is_nullptr_t<_Tp>::value`
If none of the above is true we perform overload resolution on `__source<_Tp>(0)` to determine the return type.
* If `_Tp&` is well-formed we select `_Tp& __source(int)`. `_Tp&` is only ill formed for cv void types and cv/ref qualified function types.
* Otherwise we select `__dummy_type __source(...)`. Since we know `_Tp` cannot be void then it must be a function type.
let `R` be the returned from `__source<_Tp>(0)`.
We perform overload resolution on `__test<_Tp>(R)`.
* If `R` is `__dummy_type` we call `true_type __test(__dummy_type)`.
* if `R` is `_Tp&` and `_Tp&` decays to `_Tp*` we call `true_type __test(_Tp*)`. Only references to function types decay to a pointer of the same type.
* In all other cases we call `false_type __test(...)`.
`__source<_Tp>(0)` will try and form `_Tp&` in the return type. if `_Tp&` is not well formed the return type of `__source<_Tp>(0)` will be dummy type. `_Tp&` is only ill-formed for cv/ref qualified function types (and void which is dealt with elsewhere).
