[APInt] Add default-disabled assertion to APInt constructor (#106524)

If the uint64_t constructor is used, assert that the value is actually a
signed or unsigned N-bit integer depending on whether the isSigned flag
is set. Provide an implicitTrunc flag to restore the previous behavior,
where the argument is silently truncated instead.

In this commit, implicitTrunc is enabled by default, which means that
the new assertions are disabled and no actual change in behavior occurs.
The plan is to flip the default once all places violating the assertion
have been fixed. See #80309 for the scope of the necessary changes.

The primary motivation for this change is to avoid incorrectly specified
isSigned flags. A recurring problem we have is that people write
something like `APInt(BW, -1)` and this works perfectly fine -- until
the code path is hit with `BW > 64`. Most of our i128 specific
miscompilations are caused by variants of this issue.

The cost of the change is that we have to specify the correct isSigned
flag (and make sure there are no excess bits) for uses where BW is
always <= 64 as well.

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.
