This is the first part of a plan to ship experimental features
by default while guarding them behind a compiler flag to avoid
users accidentally depending on them. Subsequent patches will
also encompass incomplete features (such as <format> and <ranges>)
in that categorization. Basically, the idea is that we always
build and ship the c++experimental library, however users can't
use what's in it unless they pass the `-funstable` flag to Clang.
Note that this patch intentionally does not start guarding
existing <experimental/FOO> content behind the flag, because
that would merely break users that might be relying on such
content being in the headers unconditionally. Instead, we
should start guarding new TSes behind the flag, and get rid
of the existing TSes we have by shipping their Standard
counterpart.
Also, this patch must jump through a few hoops like defining
_LIBCPP_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL because we still support compilers
that do not implement -funstable yet.

Instead of marking private symbols with internal_linkage (which leads to
one copy per translation unit -- rather wasteful), use an ABI tag that
gets rev'd with each libc++ version. That way, we know that we can't have
name collisions between implementation-detail functions across libc++
versions, so we'll never violate the ODR. However, within a single program,
each symbol still has a proper name with external linkage, which means
that the linker is free to deduplicate symbols even across TUs.
This actually means that we can guarantee that versions of libc++ can
be mixed within the same program without ever having to take a code size
hit, and without having to manually opt-in -- it should just work out of
the box.

This patch overhauls how we pick up the ABI library. Instead of setting
ad-hoc flags, it creates interface targets that can be linked against by
the rest of the build, which is easier to follow and extend to support
new ABI libraries.
This is intended to be a NFC change, however there are some additional
simplifications and improvements we can make in the future that would
require a slight behavior change.

This patch adds a lightweight assertion handler mechanism that can be
overriden at link-time in a fashion similar to `operator new`.
This is a third take on https://llvm.org/D121123 (which allowed customizing
the assertion handler at compile-time), and https://llvm.org/D119969
(which allowed customizing the assertion handler at runtime only).
This approach is, I think, the best of all three explored approaches.
Indeed, replacing the assertion handler in user code is ergonomic,
yet we retain the ability to provide a custom assertion handler when
deploying to older platforms that don't have a default handler in
the dylib.
As-is, this patch provides a pretty good amount of backwards compatibility
with the previous debug mode:
- Code that used to set _LIBCPP_DEBUG=0 in order to get basic assertions
in their code will still get basic assertions out of the box, but
those assertions will be using the new assertion handler support.
- Code that was previously compiled with references to __libcpp_debug_function
and friends will work out-of-the-box, no changes required. This is
because we provide the same symbols in the dylib as we used to.
- Code that used to set a custom __libcpp_debug_function will stop
compiling, because we don't provide that declaration anymore. Users
will have to migrate to the new way of setting a custom assertion
handler, which is extremely easy. I suspect that pool of users is
very limited, so breaking them at compile-time is probably acceptable.
The main downside of this approach is that code being compiled with
assertions enabled but deploying to an older platform where the assertion
handler didn't exist yet will fail to compile. However users can easily
fix the problem by providing a custom assertion handler and defining
the _LIBCPP_AVAILABILITY_CUSTOM_ASSERTION_HANDLER_PROVIDED macro to
let the library know about the custom handler. In a way, this is
actually a feature because it avoids a load-time error that one would
otherwise get when trying to run the code on the older target.

Instead, folks can use the equivalent variables provided by CMake
to set those. This removal aims to reduce complexity and potential
for confusion when setting the target triple for building the runtimes,

incorrect).

We are moving away from building the runtimes with LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS,
however the documentation was largely outdated. This commit updates all
the documentation I could find to use LLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES instead of
LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS for building runtimes.
Note that in the near future, libcxx, libcxxabi and libunwind will stop
supporting being built with LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS altogether. I don't know
what the plans are for other runtimes like libc, openmp and compiler-rt,
so I didn't make any changes to the documentation that would imply
something for those projects.
Once this lands, I will also cherry-pick this on the release/14.x branch
to make sure that LLVM's documentation is up-to-date and reflects what
we intend to support in the future.

Previously, _LIBCPP_ABI_UNSTABLE would be used interchangeably with
_LIBCPP_ABI_VERSION >= 2. This was confusing and creating unnecessary
complexity.
This patch removes _LIBCPP_ABI_UNSTABLE -- instead, the LIBCXX_ABI_UNSTABLE
CMake option will result in the LIBCXX_ABI_VERSION being set to '2', the
current unstable ABI. As a result, in the code, we only have _LIBCPP_ABI_VERSION
to check in order to query the current ABI version.
As a fly-by, this also defines the ABI namespace during CMake configuration
to reduce complexity in __config. I believe it was previously done this
way because we used to try to use __config_site as seldom as possible.
Now that we always ship a __config_site, it doesn't really matter and
I think being explicit about how the library is configured in the __config_site
is actually a feature.

This patch removes the ability to build the runtimes in the 32 bit
multilib configuration, i.e. using -m32. Instead of doing this, one
should cross-compile the runtimes for the appropriate target triple,
like we do for all other triples.
As it stands, -m32 has several issues, which all seem to be related to
the fact that it's not well supported by the operating systems that
libc++ support. The simplest path towards fixing this is to remove
support for the configuration, which is also the best course of action
if there is little interest for keeping that configuration. If there
is a desire to keep this configuration around, we'll need to do some
work to figure out the underlying issues and fix them.

This commit makes the new "runtimes" build (with <monorepo>/runtimes as
the root of the CMake invocation) the default way of building libc++.
The other supported way of building libc++ is the "bootstrapping" build,
where `<monorepo>/llvm` is used as the root of the CMake invocation.
All other ways of building libc++ are deprecated effective immediately.
There should be no use-case for building libc++ that isn't supported by
one of these two builds, and the two new builds work on all environments
and are lightweight. They will also make it possible to greatly simplify
the build infrastructure of the runtimes, which is currently way too
convoluted.

Some embedded platforms do not wish to support the C library functionality
for handling wchar_t because they have no use for it. It makes sense for
libc++ to work properly on those platforms, so this commit adds a carve-out
of functionality for wchar_t.
Unfortunately, unlike some other carve-outs (e.g. random device), this
patch touches several parts of the library. However, despite the wide
impact of this patch, I still think it is important to support this
configuration since it makes it much simpler to port libc++ to some
embedded platforms.

This is a second attempt at D101497, which landed as
9a9bc76c0eb72f0f2732c729a460abbd5239c2e3 but had to be reverted in
8cf7ddbdd4e5af966a369e170c73250f2e3920e7.
This issue was that in the case that `COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH` is
empty, expressions like "${COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH}/bin" evaluated to
"/bin" not "bin" as intended and as was originally.
One solution is to make `COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH` always non-empty,
defaulting it to `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`. D99636 adopted that approach.
But, I think it is more ergonomic to allow those project-specific paths
to be relative the global ones. Also, making install paths absolute by
default inhibits the proper behavior of functions like
`GNUInstallDirs_get_absolute_install_dir` which make relative install
paths absolute in a more complicated way.
Given all this, I will define a function like the one asked for in
https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/19568 (and needed for a
similar use-case).
---
Original message:
Instead of using `COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH` through the CMake for
complier-rt, just use it to define variables for the subdirs which
themselves are used.
This preserves compatibility, but later on we might consider getting rid
of `COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH` and just changing the defaults for the
subdir variables directly.
---
There was a seaming bug where the (non-Apple) per-target libdir was
`${target}` not `lib/${target}`. I suspect that has to do with the docs
on `COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH` saying was the library dir when that's no
longer true, so I just went ahead and fixed it, allowing me to define
fewer and more sensible variables.
That last part should be the only behavior changes; everything else
should be a pure refactoring.
---
I added some documentation of these variables too. In particular, I
wanted to highlight the gotcha where `-DSomeCachePath=...` without the
`:PATH` will lead CMake to make the path absolute. See [1] for
discussion of the problem, and [2] for the brief official documentation
they added as a result.
[1]: https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2015-March/060204.html
[2]: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html#options
In 38b2dec37ee735d5409148e71ecba278caf0f969 the problem was somewhat
misidentified and so `:STRING` was used, but `:PATH` is better as it
sets the correct type from the get-go.
---
D99484 is the main thrust of the `GnuInstallDirs` work. Once this lands,
it should be feasible to follow both of these up with a simple patch for
compiler-rt analogous to the one for libcxx.

Since we require that libc++ is built as part of the monorepo layout, we
can assume the path of the rest of LLVM and avoid requiring that LLVM_PATH
be set explicitly.
When the __config_site header is generated, but LIBCXX_HAS_MERGED_TYPEINFO_NAMES_DEFAULT
wasn't specified, _LIBCPP_HAS_MERGED_TYPEINFO_NAMES_DEFAULT would be defined
to 0, which was the NonUnique RTTI comparison implementation. The intent
was to use the Unique RTTI comparison implementation in that case, which
caused https://llvm.org/PR45549.
Instead, use a proper "switch" to select the RTTI comparison implementation.
Note that 0 can't be used as a value, because that is treated the same
by CMake as a variable that is just not defined.

https://reviews.llvm.org/D49240 led to symbol size problems in Chromium, and
we expect this may be the case in other projects built in debug mode too.
Instead, unless users explicitly ask for internal_linkage, we use always_inline
like we used to.

without falling back on internal_linkage, we can replace always_inline by
that.
Note that this commit introduces a change in contract for existing libc++
users: by default, libc++ used to guarantee that TUs built with different
versions of libc++ could be linked together. With the introduction of the
_LIBCPP_HIDE_FROM_ABI_PER_TU macro, the default behavior is that TUs built
with different libc++ versions are not guaranteed to link. This is a change
in contract but not a change in behavior, since the current implementation
still allows linking TUs built with different libc++ versions together.

This patch implements the <filesystem> header and uses that
to provide <experimental/filesystem>.
Unlike other standard headers, the symbols needed for <filesystem>
have not yet been placed in libc++.so. Instead they live in the
new libc++fs.a library. Users of filesystem are required to link this
library. (Also note that libc++experimental no longer contains the
definition of <experimental/filesystem>, which now requires linking libc++fs).
The reason for keeping <filesystem> out of the dylib for now is that
it's still somewhat experimental, and the possibility of requiring an
ABI breaking change is very real. In the future the symbols will likely
be moved into the dylib, or the dylib will be made to link libc++fs automagically).
Note that moving the symbols out of libc++experimental may break user builds
until they update to -lc++fs. This should be OK, because the experimental
library provides no stability guarantees. However, I plan on looking into
ways we can force libc++experimental to automagically link libc++fs.
In order to use a single implementation and set of tests for <filesystem>, it
has been placed in a special `__fs` namespace. This namespace is inline in
C++17 onward, but not before that. As such implementation is available
in C++11 onward, but no filesystem namespace is present "directly", and
as such name conflicts shouldn't occur in C++11 or C++14.
