[flang] Enhance show_descriptor intrinsic to avoid extra descriptor copies (#173461)

Originally, the argument to show_descriptor() intrinsic was declared
with the passing mechanism of "asBox". This resulted in `fir.load`
instruction to be emitted to pass descriptor "asBox", which resulted in
extra llvm.memcpy in LLVM IR. The current change eliminates this, so
that show_descriptor() prints information about the original descriptor,
not about its copy.

The current change modifies the passing mechanism of the argument to
show_intrinsic() to "asInquired". The lowering of show_descriptor() now
passes the reference to a descriptor directly to the runtime routine. If
descriptor is passed as a value in SSA register, then it's spilled on
the stack and its address is passed to the runtime routine. If a
non-descriptor value is passed to show_descriptor(), then this value is
spilled to the stack, wrapped into a descriptor that is also spilled to
the stack, and the resulting descriptor pointer is passed to
show_descriptor().

show_descriptor() LIT test was modified to correspond to the new
implementation and additional test cases were added to it.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

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.
