78762bc380 [Docs] Modernize references to macOS
Summary:
This updates all places in documentation that refer to "Mac OS X", "OS X", etc.
to instead use the modern name "macOS" when no specific version number is
mentioned.

If a specific version is mentioned, this attempts to use the OS name at the time
of that version:

* Mac OS X for 10.0 - 10.7
* OS X for 10.8 - 10.11
* macOS for 10.12 - present

Summary:
Add new ``isa_and_nonnull<>`` operator that works just like
the ``isa<>`` operator, except that it allows for a null pointer as an
argument (which it then returns false).

1fada3c69e [ADT] Add a fallible_iterator wrapper.
A fallible iterator is one whose increment or decrement operations may fail.
This would usually be supported by replacing the ++ and -- operators with
methods that return error:

    class MyFallibleIterator {
    public:
      // ...
      Error inc();
      Errro dec();
      // ...
    };

The downside of this style is that it no longer conforms to the C++ iterator
concept, and can not make use of standard algorithms and features such as
range-based for loops.

The fallible_iterator wrapper takes an iterator written in the style above
and adapts it to (mostly) conform with the C++ iterator concept. It does this
by providing standard ++ and -- operator implementations, returning any errors
generated via a side channel (an Error reference passed into the wrapper at
construction time), and immediately jumping the iterator to a known 'end'
value upon error. It also marks the Error as checked any time an iterator is
compared with a known end value and found to be inequal, allowing early exit
from loops without redundant error checking*.

Usage looks like:

    MyFallibleIterator I = ..., E = ...;

    Error Err = Error::success();
    for (auto &Elem : make_fallible_range(I, E, Err)) {
      // Loop body is only entered when safe.

      // Early exits from loop body permitted without checking Err.
      if (SomeCondition)
        return;

    }
    if (Err)
      // Handle error.

* Since failure causes a fallible iterator to jump to end, testing that a
  fallible iterator is not an end value implicitly verifies that the error is a
  success value, and so is equivalent to an error check.

baec68f961 [doc]Update String Error documentation in Programmer Manual
A while back, createStringError was added to provide easier construction
of StringError instances, especially with formatting options. Prior to
this patch, that the documentation only mentions the standard method of
using it. Since createStringError is slightly shorter to type, and also
provides the formatting options, this patch updates the Programmer's
Manual to use the new function in its examples, and to mention the
printf formatting options. It also fixes a small typo in one of the
examples and removes the unnecessary make_error_code call.

9ec60d7d8f [opaque pointer types] Add a FunctionCallee wrapper type, and use it.
Recommit r352791 after tweaking DerivedTypes.h slightly, so that gcc
doesn't choke on it, hopefully.

Original Message:
The FunctionCallee type is effectively a {FunctionType*,Value*} pair,
and is a useful convenience to enable code to continue passing the
result of getOrInsertFunction() through to EmitCall, even once pointer
types lose their pointee-type.

Then:
- update the CallInst/InvokeInst instruction creation functions to
  take a Callee,
- modify getOrInsertFunction to return FunctionCallee, and
- update all callers appropriately.

One area of particular note is the change to the sanitizer
code. Previously, they had been casting the result of
`getOrInsertFunction` to a `Function*` via
`checkSanitizerInterfaceFunction`, and storing that. That would report
an error if someone had already inserted a function declaraction with
a mismatching signature.

However, in general, LLVM allows for such mismatches, as
`getOrInsertFunction` will automatically insert a bitcast if
needed. As part of this cleanup, cause the sanitizer code to do the
same. (It will call its functions using the expected signature,
however they may have been declared.)

Finally, in a small number of locations, callers of
`getOrInsertFunction` actually were expecting/requiring that a brand
new function was being created. In such cases, I've switched them to
Function::Create instead.

cb39a85070 Replace llvm::isPodLike<...> by llvm::is_trivially_copyable<...>
As noted in https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36651, the specialization for
isPodLike<std::pair<...>> did not match the expectation of
std::is_trivially_copyable which makes the memcpy optimization invalid.

This patch renames the llvm::isPodLike trait into llvm::is_trivially_copyable.
Unfortunately std::is_trivially_copyable is not portable across compiler / STL
versions. So a portable version is provided too.

Note that the following specialization were invalid:

    std::pair<T0, T1>
    llvm::Optional<T>

Tests have been added to assert that former specialization are respected by the
standard usage of llvm::is_trivially_copyable, and that when a decent version
of std::is_trivially_copyable is available, llvm::is_trivially_copyable is
compared to std::is_trivially_copyable.

As of this patch, llvm::Optional is no longer considered trivially copyable,
even if T is. This is to be fixed in a later patch, as it has impact on a
long-running bug (see r347004)

Note that GCC warns about this UB, but this got silented by https://reviews.llvm.org/D50296.

28a460d130 Remove TypeBuilder.h, and fix the few locations using it.
This shortcut mechanism for creating types was added 10 years ago, but
has seen almost no uptake since then, neither internally nor in
external projects.

The very small number of characters saved by using it does not seem
worth the mental overhead of an additional type-creation API, so,
delete it.

0818e789cb Rename DEBUG macro to LLVM_DEBUG.
The DEBUG() macro is very generic so it might clash with other projects.
The renaming was done as follows:
- git grep -l 'DEBUG' | xargs sed -i 's/\bDEBUG\s\?(/LLVM_DEBUG(/g'
- git diff -U0 master | ../clang/tools/clang-format/clang-format-diff.py -i -p1 -style LLVM
- Manual change to APInt
- Manually chage DOCS as regex doesn't match it.

In the transition period the DEBUG() macro is still present and aliased
to the LLVM_DEBUG() one.

d8824ebc53 Give guidance on report_fatal_error in CodingStandards.rst and ProgrammersManual.rst
The current ProgrammersManual.rst document has a lot of well-written 
documentation on error handling thanks to @lhames. It suggests errors can be 
split cleanly into "programmatic" and "recoverable" errors. However, the 
reality in current LLVM seems to be there are a number of cases where a 
non-programmatic error is not easily recoverable. Therefore, add a note to 
indicate the existence of report_fatal_error for these cases. I've also added 
a reminder to CodingStandards.rst in the section on assertions, to indicate 
that llvm_unreachable and assertions should not be relied upon to report 
errors triggered by user input.

The ProgrammersManual is also silent on the use of LLVMContext::diagnose, 
which is used in BPF+WebAssembly+AMDGPU to report some errors during 
instruction selection. I don't address that in this patch, as it's not quite 
clear how to fit in to the current error handling story

530cc1a7c8 [Support][Error] Add a 'cantFail' utility function for known-safe calls to
fallible functions.

Some fallible functions (those returning Error or Expected<T>) may only fail
for a subset of their inputs. For example, a "safe" square root function will
succeed for all finite positive inputs:

  Expected<double> safeSqrt(double d) {
    if (d < 0 && !isnan(d) && !isinf(d))
      return make_error<...>("Cannot sqrt -ve values, nans or infs");
    return sqrt(d);
  }

At a safe callsite for such a function, checking the error return value is
redundant:

  if (auto ValOrErr = safeSqrt(42.0)) {
    // use *ValOrErr.
  } else
    llvm_unreachable("safeSqrt should always succeed for +ve values");

The cantFail function wraps this check and extracts the contained value,
simplifying control flow:

  double Result = cantFail(safeSqrt(42.0));

This function should be used with care: it is a programmatic error to wrap a
call with cantFail if it can in fact fail. For debug builds this will
result in llvm_unreachable being called. For release builds the behavior is
undefined.

Use of this function is likely to be rare in library code, but more common
for tool and unit-test code where inputs and mock functions may be known to be
safe.

2ef2a887ad Simplify format member detection in FormatVariadic
Summary:
This replaces the format member search, which was quite complicated, with a more
direct approach to detecting whether a class should be formatted using the
format-member method. Instead we use a special type llvm::format_adapter, which
every adapter must inherit from. Then the search can be simply implemented with
the is_base_of type trait.

Aside from the simplification, I like this way more because it makes it more
explicit that you are supposed to use this type only for adapter-like
formattings, and the other approach (format_provider overloads) should be used
as a default (a mistake I made when first trying to use this library).

The only slight change in behaviour here is that now choose the format-adapter
branch even if the format member invocation will fail to compile (e.g. because it is a
non-const member function and we are passing a const adapter), whereas
previously we would have gone on to search for format_providers for the type.
However, I think that is actually a good thing, as it probably means the
programmer did something wrong.

a705e0edef IR: Move NumElements field from {Array,Vector}Type to SequentialType.
Now that PointerType is no longer a SequentialType, all SequentialTypes
have an associated number of elements, so we can move that information to
the base class, allowing for a number of simplifications.

9c9ec72b63 IR: Change PointerType to derive from Type rather than SequentialType.
As proposed on llvm-dev:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-October/106640.html

This is for a couple of reasons:

- Values of type PointerType are unlike the other SequentialTypes (arrays
  and vectors) in that they do not hold values of the element type. By moving
  PointerType we can unify certain aspects of how the other SequentialTypes
  are handled.
- PointerType will have no place in the SequentialType hierarchy once
  pointee types are removed, so this is a necessary step towards removing
  pointee types.

97dac2b41d [Support] Introduce llvm::formatv() function.
This introduces a new type-safe general purpose formatting
library.  It provides compile-time type safety, does not require
a format specifier (since the type is deduced), and provides
mechanisms for extending the format capability to user defined
types, and overriding the formatting behavior for existing types.

This patch additionally adds documentation for the API to the
LLVM programmer's manual.

3fab9364ac [docs] Add a pointer to ExitOnError to the discussion of handleErrors in the
programmer's manual.

ExitOnError is often a better alternative to handleErrors for tool code. This
patch makes it easier to find the ExitOnError discussion when reading the
handleErrors section.

Thanks to Peter Collingbourne for the suggestion.
