Adds `LLVMConstStringInContext2` and `LLVMConstString2`, which are
identical to originals except that they use `size_t` for length. This is
a clone of
35276f16e5
and is needed for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/122000.
As an aside, the issue of 32 bit overflow on constants is present in the
C++ APIs as well. A few classes, e.g. `ConstantDataArray` and
`ConstantAggregateZero`, can hold 64-bit ArrayTypes but their length
accessors return 32-bit values. This means the same issue from the
original Rust report is also present in LLVM itself. Would it be a
reasonable goal to update all of these length methods & types to be
uint64_t, or would that be too breaking? Alternatively, we could use
safe fallible casts instead of implicit ones inside the accessors (if an
overflow does happen, the solution would be to use
`MyValue->getType()->getArrayNumElements()` instead).
This directory contains bindings for the LLVM compiler infrastructure to allow programs written in languages other than C or C++ to take advantage of the LLVM infrastructure--for instance, a self-hosted compiler front-end.
