[Clang] Add fake use emission to Clang with -fextend-lifetimes (#110102) Following the previous patch which adds the "extend lifetimes" flag without (almost) any functionality, this patch adds the real feature by allowing Clang to emit fake uses. These are emitted as a new form of cleanup, set for variable addresses, which just emits a fake use intrinsic when the variable falls out of scope. The code for achieving this is simple, with most of the logic centered on determining whether to emit a fake use for a given address, and on ensuring that fake uses are ignored in a few cases.

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.
