[ASTWriter] Do not write ObjCCategories if empty. (#141841) This is a fix for a completely unrelated patch, that started to cause failures in the explicit-build.cpp test because the size of the b.pcm and b-not-a.pcm files became the same. The alignment added by empty ObjCCategory blobs being written to the file causes them to become the same size, and the error 'module file has a different size than expected' will not be emitted as the pcms only track module size, not content, for whether they are valid. This prevents that issue by not saving the ObjCCategories if it is empty. The change in clang/lib/Serialization/ASTReaderDecl.cpp is just formatting, but shows that the only use of ObjCCategoriesMap loaded from the file will be OK with null (never loaded) data. It is a bit of a weird fix, but should help decrease the size of the modules for objects that are not used.
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.
