[flang] add extra component information in fir.type_info (#96746) fir.type does not contain all Fortran level information about components. For instance, component lower bounds and default initial value are lost. For correctness purpose, this does not matter because this information is "applied" in lowering (e.g., when addressing the components, the lower bounds are reflected in the hlfir.designate). However, this "loss" of information will prevent the generation of correct debug info for the type (needs to know about lower bounds). The initial value could help building some optimization pass to get rid of initialization runtime calls. This patch adds lower bound and initial value information into fir.type_info via a new fir.dt_component operation. This operation is generated only for component that needs it, which helps keeping the IR small for "boring" types. In general, adding Fortran level info in fir.type_info will allow delaying the generation of "type descriptors" gobals that are very verbose in FIR and make it hard to work with FIR dumps from applications with many derived types.
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.
