[clang][modules] Introduce new ModuleCache interface (#131193)
This PR adds new `ModuleCache` interface to Clang's implicitly-built
modules machinery. The main motivation for this change is to create a
second implementation that uses a more efficient kind of
`llvm::AdvisoryLock` during dependency scanning.

In addition to the lock abstraction, the `ModuleCache` interface also
manages the existing `InMemoryModuleCache` instance. I found that
compared to keeping these separate/independent, the code is a bit
simpler now, since these are two tightly coupled concepts. I can
envision a more efficient implementation of the `InMemoryModuleCache`
for the single-process case too, which will be much easier to implement
with the current setup.

This is not intended to be a functional change.

clangd

clangd is a language server, and provides C++ IDE features to editors. This is not its documentation.

Communication channels

If you have any questions or feedback, you can reach community and developers through one of these channels:

Building and testing clangd

For a minimal setup on building clangd:

  • Clone the LLVM repo to $LLVM_ROOT.

  • Create a build directory, for example at $LLVM_ROOT/build.

  • Inside the build directory run: cmake $LLVM_ROOT/llvm/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;clang-tools-extra".

    • We suggest building in Release mode as building DEBUG binaries requires considerably more resources. You can check Building LLVM with CMake documentation for more details about cmake flags.
    • In addition to that using Ninja as a generator rather than default make is preferred. To do that consider passing -G Ninja to cmake invocation.
    • Finally, you can turn on assertions via -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTS=On.
  • Afterwards you can build clangd with cmake --build $LLVM_ROOT/build --target clangd, similarly run tests by changing target to check-clangd.
