Add a "Potentially Breaking Changes" section to the Clang release notes Sometimes we make changes to the compiler that we expect may cause disruption for users. For example, we may strengthen a warning to default to be an error, or fix an accepts-invalid bug that's been around for a long time, etc which may cause previously accepted code to now be rejected. Rather than hope users discover that information by reading all of the release notes, it's better that we call these out in one location at the top of the release notes.

ABI Changes in This Version
---------------------------
[AST] Only dump desugared type when visibly different (#65214) These are an artifact of how types are structured but serve little purpose, merely showing that the type is sugared in some way. For example, ElaboratedType's existence means struct S gets printed as 'struct S':'struct S' in the AST, which is unnecessary visual clutter. Note that skipping the second print when the types have the same string matches what we do for diagnostics, where the aka will be skipped.

C++20 Feature Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[Clang] Fix Unevaluated Lambdas Unlike other types, when lambdas are instanciated, they are recreated from scratch. When an unevaluated lambdas appear in the type of a function, parameter it is instanciated in the wrong declaration context, as parameters are transformed before the function. To support lambda in function parameters, we try to compute whether they are dependant without looking at the declaration context. This is a short term stopgap solution to avoid clang iceing. A better fix might be to inject some kind of transparent declaration with correctly computed dependency for function parameters, variable templates, etc. Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/50376 Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/51414 Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/51416 Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/51641 Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/54296 Reviewed By: aaron.ballman Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D121532

New Compiler Flags
------------------
Add -fkeep-system-includes modifier for -E This option will cause -E to preserve the #include directives for system headers, rather than expanding them into the output. This can greatly reduce the volume of preprocessed source text in a test case, making test case reduction simpler. Note that -fkeep-system-includes is not always appropriate. For example, if the problem you want to reproduce is induced by a system header file, it's better to expand those headers fully. If your source defines symbols that influence the content of a system header (e.g., _POSIX_SOURCE) then -E will eliminate the definition, potentially changing the meaning of the preprocessed source. If you use -isystem to point to non-system headers, for example to suppress warnings in third-party software, those will not be expanded and might make the preprocessed source less useful as a test case.

Improvements to Clang's diagnostics
-----------------------------------
[Sema] -Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant: don't warn for __null (#69126) The implementation of -Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant was done before the following fix has been committed to GCC: https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=752e7593b0f19af233a0b7e72daab8413662b605;hp=298434c916c14e8adca2cab8a746aee29038c5b3 As a result, clang and gcc diverge on the use of `__null` and, consequently, on the use of `NULL` on systems like Linux/macOS where `NULL` is defined as `__null`. This is a problem for compatibility between gcc and clang, particularly for code bases that support C++98 or for single-source libraries that are implemented in C, but compiled as C++ via inclusion into a C++ translation unit. Code like this can not be changed to use `nullptr`, as it needs to maintain compatibility with C before C23 or C++ before C++11, but warns on the use of `NULL` in clang. The warning `Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant` is still useful with this change, as it allows to change `0` to `NULL`, which fixes gcc warnings and helps the reader distinguish between pointers and non-pointers. Users who require a full C++11 modernization pass can still use clang-tidy for that purpose.

[Sema] Handle large shift counts in GetExprRange (#68590) GetExprRange did not expect that very large shift counts when narrowing the range based on logical right shifts. So with inputs such as *a >> 123456789012345678901uwb it would hit assertions about trying to convert a too large APInt into uint64_t. This patch fixes that by using the APInt value when determining if we should reduce the range by the shift count or not.

Bug Fixes to Compiler Builtins
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[clang][AIX] Don't ignore XCOFF visibility by default D87451 added -mignore-xcoff-visibility for AIX targets and made it the default (which mimicked the behaviour of the XL 16.1 compiler on AIX). However, ignoring hidden visibility has unwanted side effects and some libraries depend on visibility to hide non-ABI facing entities from user headers and reserve the right to change these implementation details based on this (https://libcxx.llvm.org/DesignDocs/VisibilityMacros.html). This forces us to use internal linkage fallbacks for these cases on AIX and creates an unwanted divergence in implementations on the plaform. For these reasons, it's preferable to not add -mignore-xcoff-visibility by default, which is what this patch does. Reviewed By: DiggerLin Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D125141

[clang][Sema] check default argument promotions for printf The main focus of this patch is to make ArgType::matchesType check for possible default parameter promotions when the argType is not a pointer. If so, no warning will be given for `int`, `unsigned int` types as corresponding arguments to %hhd and %hd. However, the usage of %hhd corresponding to short is relatively rare, and it is more likely to be a misuse. This patch keeps the original behavior of clang like this as much as possible, while making it more convenient to consider the default arguments promotion.

Diagnose extensions in 'offsetof' https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2350.htm made very clear that it is an UB having type definitions with in offsetof. Clang supports defining a type as the first argument as a conforming extension due to how many projects use the construct in C99 and earlier to calculate the alignment of a type. GCC also supports defining a type as the first argument. This adds extension warnings and documentation for the functionality Clang explicitly supports.

[Clang][Sema] fix crash of attribute transform (#78088) Try to fix [issue](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/73619) 1. During transforming `FunctionProtoType`, if `ThisContext` is `nullptr` and `CurrentContext` is `ClassTemplateSpecializationDecl`, Constructor of `CXXThisScopeRAII` and `Sema::getCurrentThisType` won't set `CXXThisTypeOverride` of Sema. This will lead to building `this` in `RebuildCXXThisExpr` with a invalid type(NULL type) and cause crash. 2. During transforming attribute type, if `modifiedType` of attribute type is changed, `EquivalentType` need to be transformed. If `EquivalentType` is `FunctionProtoType`, its `ParamVarDecl` will not be copyed(but parameter num does) and will not be instanced in `TransformFunctionTypeParams` since `ParamVarDecl` is `nullptr`. This will lead to crash in `findInstantiationOf`(can't find the instance of `ParamVarDecl`). This patch tries to fix these issues above. 1. If `CurrentContext` is `ClassTemplateSpecializationDecl`, Use it. 2. Use `EquivalentTypeLoc` instead of `EquivalentType` since it has parameter info. But, if use current `TypeLocBuilder`, it will crash in `TypeLocBuilder::push` since `LastType` is mismatch. Use an auxiliary `TypeLocBuilder` instead and get transformed `EquivalentType`.

[Clang][Sema] fix outline member function template with default align crash (#78400) Try to fix [issue](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/68490) and some extented problem. Root cause of current issue is that error handling in instantiation of function parameter with default initialization on sizeof or align expression. When instance an out-of-line template member function, depth of `TemplateTypeParmDecl` in default initialization doesn't change while depth of other template parameter does and this will lead to some template parameter uninstanced. Also, sometime it will leader to wrong instantiation when it uses the template parameter of class. Fix it by add template args of context when it's out-of-line. This will make `MultiLevelTemplateArgumentList::getNumLevels` matching the depth of template parameter. Testcase with some `static_assert` demonstrates the template parameter has been instanced correctly. Co-authored-by: huqizhi <836744285@qq.com>

[Concepts] Traverse the instantiation chain for parameter injection inside a constraint scope (#79568) We preserve the trailing requires-expression during the lambda expression transformation. In order to get those referenced parameters inside a requires-expression properly resolved to the instantiated decls, we intended to inject these 'original' `ParmVarDecls` to the current instantiaion scope, at `Sema::SetupConstraintScope`. The previous approach seems to overlook nested instantiation chains, leading to the crash within a nested lambda followed by a requires clause. This fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/73418.

Forbid implicit conversion of constraint expression to bool As reported in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/54524, and later in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/60038, we were not properly implmenting temp.constr.atomic P3. This patch stops implicitly converting constraints to bool, and ensures the Rvalue conversion takes place as needed. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D141954

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[CUDA][HIP] support __noinline__ as keyword CUDA/HIP programs use __noinline__ like a keyword e.g. __noinline__ void foo() {} since __noinline__ is defined as a macro __attribute__((noinline)) in CUDA/HIP runtime header files. However, gcc and clang supports __attribute__((__noinline__)) the same as __attribute__((noinline)). Some C++ libraries use __attribute__((__noinline__)) in their header files. When CUDA/HIP programs include such header files, clang will emit error about invalid attributes. This patch fixes this issue by supporting __noinline__ as a keyword, so that CUDA/HIP runtime could remove the macro definition.

[OpenACC] Initial commits to support OpenACC (#70234) Initial commits to support OpenACC. This patchset: adds a clang-command line argument '-fopenacc', and starts to define _OPENACC, albeit to '1' instead of the standardized value (since we don't properly implement OpenACC yet). The OpenACC spec defines `_OPENACC` to be equal to the latest standard implemented. However, since we're not done implementing any standard, we've defined this by default to be `1`. As it is useful to run our compiler against existing OpenACC workloads, we're providing a temporary override flag to change the `_OPENACC` value to be any entirely digit value, permitting testing against any existing OpenACC project. Exactly like the OpenMP parser, the OpenACC pragma parser needs to consume and reprocess the tokens. This patch sets up the infrastructure to do so by refactoring the OpenMP version of this into a more general version that works for OpenACC as well. Additionally, this adds a few diagnostics and token kinds to get us started.

[Clang] Always use --no-undefined when linking AMDGPU images AMDGPU uses ELF shared libraries to implement their executable device images. One downside to this method is that it disables regular warnings on undefined symbols. This is because shared libraries expect these to be resolves by later loads. However, the GPU images do not support dynamic linking so any undefined symbol is going to cause a runtime error. This patch adds `--no-undefined` to the `ld.lld` invocation to guarantee that undefined symbols are always caught as linking errors rather than runtime errors.

[driver] Search for compatible Android runtime directories Android triples include a version number, which makes direct triple comparisons for per-target runtime directory searching not always work. Instead, look for the triple with the highest compatible version number and use that per-target runtime directory instead. This maintains the existing fallback to a triple without any version number, but I'm hoping we can remove that in the future. https://discourse.llvm.org/t/62717 discusses this further. The one remaining triple mismatch after this is that Android armv7 triples usually have an environment of `androideabi`, which Clang normalizes to `android`. If you use the `androideabi` triple when building the runtimes with a per-target runtimes dir, the directory will get created with `androideabi` in its name, but Clang's triple search uses the normalized triple and will look for an `android` directory instead. https://reviews.llvm.org/D140925 will fix that by normalizing triples when creating the per-target runtimes directories as well.

[clang] [MinGW] Add the option -fno-auto-import In GCC, the .refptr stubs are only generated for x86_64, and only for code models medium and larger (and medium is the default for x86_64 since this was introduced). They can be omitted for projects that are conscious about performance and size, and don't need automatically importing dll data members, by passing -mcmodel=small. In Clang/LLVM, such .refptr stubs are generated for any potentially symbol reference that might end up autoimported. The .refptr stubs are emitted for three separate reasons: - Without .refptr stubs, undefined symbols are mostly referenced with 32 bit wide relocations. If the symbol ends up autoimported from a different DLL, a 32 bit relative offset might not be enough to reference data in a different DLL, depending on runtime loader layout. - Without .refptr stubs, the runtime pseudo relocation mechanism will need to temporarily make sections read-write-executable if there are such relocations in the text section - On ARM and AArch64, the immediate addressing encoded into instructions isn't in the form of a plain 32 bit relative offset, but is expressed with various bits scattered throughout two instructions - the mingw runtime pseudo relocation mechanism doesn't support updating offsets in that form. If autoimporting is known not to be needed, the user can now compile with -fno-auto-import, avoiding the extra overhead of the .refptr stubs. However, omitting them is potentially fragile as the code might still rely on automatically importing some symbol without the developer knowing. If this happens, linking still usually will succeed, but users may encounter issues at runtime. Therefore, if the new option -fno-auto-import is passed to the compiler when driving linking, it passes the flag --disable-auto-import to the linker, making sure that no symbols actually are autoimported when the generated code doesn't expect it.

Recommit "[RISCV] Support __riscv_v_fixed_vlen for vbool types. (#76551)" Test updated to expect i8 gep. Original message: This adopts a similar behavior to AArch64 SVE, where bool vectors are represented as a vector of chars with 1/8 the number of elements. This ensures the vector always occupies a power of 2 number of bytes. A consequence of this is that vbool64_t, vbool32_t, and vool16_t can only be used with a vector length that guarantees at least 8 bits.

[Clang][AArch64] Support AArch64 target(..) attribute formats. This adds support under AArch64 for the target("..") attributes. The current parsing is very X86-shaped, this patch attempts to bring it line with the GCC implementation from https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/AArch64-Function-Attributes.html#AArch64-Function-Attributes. The supported formats are: - "arch=<arch>" strings, that specify the architecture features for a function as per the -march=arch+feature option. - "cpu=<cpu>" strings, that specify the target-cpu and any implied atributes as per the -mcpu=cpu+feature option. - "tune=<cpu>" strings, that specify the tune-cpu cpu for a function as per -mtune. - "+<feature>", "+no<feature>" enables/disables the specific feature, for compatibility with GCC target attributes. - "<feature>", "no-<feature>" enabled/disables the specific feature, for backward compatibility with previous releases. To do this, the parsing of target attributes has been moved into TargetInfo to give the target the opportunity to override the existing parsing. The only non-aarch64 change should be a minor alteration to the error message, specifying using "CPU" to describe the cpu, not "architecture", and the DuplicateArch/Tune from ParsedTargetAttr have been combined into a single option.

WebAssembly Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[ARM] Allow selecting hard-float ABI in integer-only MVE. Armv8.1-M can be configured to support the integer subset of the MVE vector instructions, and no floating point. In that situation, the FP and vector registers still exist, and so do the load, store and move instructions that transfer data in and out of them. So there's no reason the hard floating point ABI can't be supported, and you might reasonably want to use it, for the sake of intrinsics-based code passing explicit MVE vector types between functions. But the selection of the hard float ABI in the backend was gated on Subtarget->hasVFP2Base(), which is false in the case of integer MVE and no FP. As a result, you'd silently get the soft float ABI even if you deliberately tried to select it, e.g. with clang options such as --target=arm-none-eabi -mfloat-abi=hard -march=armv8.1m.main+nofp+mve The hard float ABI should have been gated on the weaker condition Subtarget->hasFPRegs(), because the only requirement for being able to pass arguments in the FP registers is that the registers themselves should exist. I haven't added a new test, because changing the existing CodeGen/Thumb2/float-ops.ll test seemed sufficient. But I've added a comment explaining why the results are expected to be what they are.
