[HLSL] Implement output parameter (#101083)

HLSL output parameters are denoted with the `inout` and `out` keywords
in the function declaration. When an argument to an output parameter is
constructed a temporary value is constructed for the argument.

For `inout` pamameters the argument is initialized via copy-initialization
from the argument lvalue expression to the parameter type. For `out`
parameters the argument is not initialized before the call.

In both cases on return of the function the temporary value is written
back to the argument lvalue expression through an implicit assignment
binary operator with casting as required.

This change introduces a new HLSLOutArgExpr ast node which represents
the output argument behavior. The OutArgExpr has three defined children:
- An OpaqueValueExpr of the argument lvalue expression.
- An OpaqueValueExpr of the copy-initialized parameter.
- A BinaryOpExpr assigning the first with the value of the second.

Fixes #87526

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting in touch
