With this patch, whenever we emit a `DW_AT_type` for some declaration
and the type is a template class with a `clang::PreferredNameAttr`, we
will emit the typedef that the attribute refers to instead. I.e.,
```
0x123 DW_TAG_variable
DW_AT_name "var"
DW_AT_type (0x123 "basic_string<char>")
0x124 DW_TAG_structure_type
DW_AT_name "basic_string<char>"
```
...becomes
```
0x123 DW_TAG_variable
DW_AT_name "var"
DW_AT_type (0x124 "std::string")
0x124 DW_TAG_structure_type
DW_AT_name "basic_string<char>"
0x125 DW_TAG_typedef
DW_AT_name "std::string"
DW_AT_type (0x124 "basic_string<char>")
```
We do this by returning the preferred name typedef `DIType` when
we create a structure definition. In some cases, e.g., with `-gmodules`,
we don't complete the structure definition immediately but do so later
via `completeClassData`, which overwrites the `TypeCache`. In such cases
we don't actually want to rewrite the cache with the preferred name. We
handle this by returning both the definition and the preferred typedef
from `CreateTypeDefinition` and let the callee decide what to do with
it.
Essentially we set up the types as:
```
TypeCache[Record] => DICompositeType
ReplaceMap[Record] => DIDerivedType(baseType: DICompositeType)
```
For now we keep this behind LLDB tuning.
**Testing**
- Added clang unit-test
- `check-llvm`, `check-clang` pass
- Confirmed that this change correctly repoints
`basic_string` references in some of my test programs.
- Will add follow-up LLDB API tests

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

Getting in touch
Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, or #llvm IRC channel on OFTC.
The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
