-fsanitize=shift is now a group that includes both these checks, so
exisiting users should not be affected.

This change introduces two new UBSan kinds that sanitize only left-hand
side and right-hand side of shift operation. In practice, invalid
exponent value (negative or too large) tends to cause more portability
problems, including inconsistencies between different compilers, crashes
and inadequeate results on non-x86 architectures etc. That is,
-fsanitize=shift-exponent failures should generally be addressed first.

As a bonus, this change simplifies CodeGen implementation for emitting left
shift (separate checks for base and exponent are now merged by the
existing generic logic in EmitCheck()), and LLVM IR for these checks
(the number of basic blocks is reduced).

// 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:

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
on the Clang development mailing list:
