[flang] Assign sizes & offsets before instantiating some component types (#178927) Semantics is instantiating derived types too soon is some cases, leading to incorrect sizes and component offsets in cases of valid forward references to derived types -- these appear in the declarations of allocatable and pointer components. The incorrect size led to a runtime crash in the linked bug report after an insufficient allocation. Since those components are indirect, their sizes in the derived type instantiation can be known without having to recursive instantiate the components' types. Then, after laying out the derived type instantiation, the compiler can then ensure that the components' types are instantiated. Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/178786.
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.
