clang: Handle deleting pointers to incomplete array types (#150359) CodeGenFunction::EmitCXXDeleteExpr contains logic to go from a pointer to an array to a pointer to the first element of the array using a getelementptr LLVM IR instruction. This was done for pointers that were not variable length arrays, as pointers to variable length arrays never existed in LLVM IR, but rather than checking for arrays that were not variable length arrays, it checked for arrays that had a constant bound. This caused incomplete arrays to be inadvertently omitted. This getelementptr was necessary back when LLVM IR used typed pointers, but they have been gone for a while, a gep with a constant zero offset does nothing now, so we can simplify the code by removing that.
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.
