Reland: [clang] Improved canonicalization for template specialization types (#135414)
This relands https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/135119, after
fixing crashes seen in LLDB CI reported here:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/135119#issuecomment-2794910840

Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/135119

This changes the TemplateArgument representation to hold a flag
indicating whether a tempalte argument of expression type is supposed to
be canonical or not.

This gets one step closer to solving
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/92292

This still doesn't try to unique as-written TSTs. While this would
increase the amount of memory savings and make code dealing with the AST
more well-behaved, profiling template argument lists is still too
expensive for this to be worthwhile, at least for now.

This also fixes the context creation of TSTs, so that they don't in some
cases get incorrectly flagged as sugar over their own canonical form.
This is captured in the test expectation change of some AST dumps.

This fixes some places which were unnecessarily canonicalizing these
TSTs.

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.
