[clang] Implement gcc_struct attribute on Itanium targets (#71148)
This commit implements gcc_struct attribute with the behavior similar to
one in GCC. Current behavior is as follows:
When ItaniumRecordLayoutBuilder is used, [[gcc_struct]] will locally
cancel the effect of -mms-bitfields on a record. If -mms-bitfields is
not supplied and is not a default behavior on a target, [[gcc_struct]]
will be a no-op. This should provide enough compatibility with GCC.
If C++ ABI is "Microsoft", [[gcc_struct]] will currently always produce
a diagnostic, since support for it is not yet implemented in
MicrosoftRecordLayoutBuilder. Note, however, that all the infrastructure
is ready for the future implementation.
In particular, check for default value of -mms-bitfields is moved from a
driver to ASTContext, since it now non-trivially depends on other
supplied flags. This also, unfortunately, makes it impossible to use
usual argument parsing for `-m{no-,}ms-bitfields`.
The patch doesn't introduce any backwards-incompatible changes, except
for situations when cc1 is called directly with `-mms-bitfields` option.
Work towards #24757

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.
