[ADT] Use a C++17 fold expression in hash_combine (NFC) (#159901) combine() combines hash values with recursion on variadic parameters. This patch replaces the recursion with a C++17 fold expression: (combine_data(length, buffer_ptr, buffer_end, get_hashable_data(args)), ...); which expands to: combine_data(length, buffer_ptr, buffer_end, get_hashable_data(a)); combine_data(length, buffer_ptr, buffer_end, get_hashable_data(b)); combine_data(length, buffer_ptr, buffer_end, get_hashable_data(c)); : A key benefit of this change is the unification of the recursive step and the base case. The argument processing and finalization logic now exist as straight-line code within a single function. combine_data now takes buffer_ptr by reference. This is necessary because the previous assignment pattern: buffer_ptr = combine_data(...) is syntactically incompatible with a fold expression. The new pattern: (combine_data(...), ...) discards return values, so combine_data must update buffer_ptr directly. For readability, this patch does the bare minimum to use a fold expression, leaving further cleanups to subsequent patches. For example, buffer_ptr and buffer_end could become member variables, and several comments that mention recursion still need updating.
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.
