[Clang] Disable use of the counted_by attribute for whole struct pointers (#112636)
The whole struct is specificed in the __bdos. The calculation of the
whole size of the structure can be done in two ways:
1) sizeof(struct S) + count * sizeof(typeof(fam))
2) offsetof(struct S, fam) + count * sizeof(typeof(fam))
The first will add any remaining whitespace that might exist after
allocation while the second method is more precise, but not quite
expected from programmers. See [1] for a discussion of the topic.
GCC isn't (currently) able to calculate __bdos on a pointer to the whole
structure. Therefore, because of the above issue, we'll choose to match
what GCC does for consistency's sake.

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.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups.
The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
