    Complete Rewrite of CGRecordLayoutBuilder · 21db05d1
    Warren Hunt authored
    CGRecordLayoutBuilder was aging, complex, multi-pass, and shows signs of 
    existing before ASTRecordLayoutBuilder.  It redundantly performed many 
    layout operations that are now performed by ASTRecordLayoutBuilder and 
    asserted that the results were the same.  With the addition of support 
    for the MS-ABI, such as placement of vbptrs, vtordisps, different 
    bitfield layout and a variety of other features, CGRecordLayoutBuilder 
    was growing unwieldy in its redundancy.
    
    This patch re-architects CGRecordLayoutBuilder to not perform any 
    redundant layout but rather, as directly as possible, lower an 
    ASTRecordLayout to an llvm::type.  The new architecture is significantly 
    smaller and simpler than the CGRecordLayoutBuilder and contains fewer 
    ABI-specific code paths.  It's also one pass.
    
    The architecture of the new system is described in the comments. For the 
    most part, the new system simply takes all of the fields and bases from 
    an ASTRecordLayout, sorts them, inserts padding and dumps a record. 
    Bitfields, unions and primary virtual bases make this process a bit more 
    complicated.  See the inline comments.
    
    In addition, this patch updates a few lit tests due to the fact that the 
    new system computes more accurate llvm types than CGRecordLayoutBuilder. 
    Each change is commented individually in the review.
