[analyzer] Revert #115918, so empty base class optimization works again (#157480) Tldr; We can't unconditionally trivially copy empty classes because that would clobber the stored entries in the object that the optimized empty class overlaps with. This regression was introduced by #115918, which introduced other clobbering issues, like the handling of `[[no_unique_address]]` fields in #137252. Read issue #157467 for the detailed explanation, but in short, I'd propose reverting the original patch because these was a lot of problems with it for arguably not much gain. In particular, that patch was motivated by unifying the handling of classes so that copy events would be triggered for a class no matter if it had data members or not. So in hindsight, it was not worth it. I plan to backport this to clang-21 as well, and mention in the release notes that this should fix the regression from clang-20. PS: Also an interesting read [D43714](https://reviews.llvm.org/D43714) in hindsight. Fixes #157467 CPP-6574
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.
