Bjorn Pettersson 9cf0e12a80 [Sema] Disallow assigning record lvalues with nested const-qualified fields.
Summary:
According to C99 6.3.2.1p1, structs and unions with nested
const-qualified fields (that is, const-qualified fields
declared at some recursive level of the aggregate) are not
modifiable lvalues. However, Clang permits assignments of
these lvalues.

With this patch, we both prohibit the assignment of records
with const-qualified fields and emit a best-effort diagnostic.
This fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31796 .

// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:
