[mlir] Make single value `ValueRange`s memory safer (#121996) A very common mistake users (and yours truly) make when using `ValueRange`s is assigning a temporary `Value` to it. Example: ```cpp ValueRange values = op.getOperand(); apiThatUsesValueRange(values); ``` The issue is caused by the implicit `const Value&` constructor: As per C++ rules a const reference can be constructed from a temporary and the address of it taken. After the statement, the temporary goes out of scope and `stack-use-after-free` error occurs. This PR fixes that issue by making `ValueRange` capable of owning a single `Value` instance for that case specifically. While technically a departure from the other owner types that are non-owning, I'd argue that this behavior is more intuitive for the majority of users that usually don't need to care about the lifetime of `Value` instances. `TypeRange` has similarly been adopted to accept a single `Type` instance to implement `getTypes`.
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.
