[ORC] Replace ThreadSafeContext::getContext with withContextDo. (#146819)
This removes ThreadSafeContext::Lock, ThreadSafeContext::getLock, and
ThreadSafeContext::getContext, and replaces them with a
ThreadSafeContext::withContextDo method (and const override).
The new method can be used to access an existing
ThreadSafeContext-wrapped LLVMContext in a safe way:
ThreadSafeContext TSCtx = ... ;
TSCtx.withContextDo([](LLVMContext *Ctx) {
// this closure has exclusive access to Ctx.
});
The new API enforces correct locking, whereas the old APIs relied on
manual locking (which almost no in-tree code preformed, relying instead
on incidental exclusive access to the ThreadSafeContext).
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.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
