[llvm][Support] Add and use errnoAsErrorCode (#84423) LLVM is inconsistent about how it converts `errno` to `std::error_code`. This can cause problems because values outside of `std::errc` compare differently if one is system and one is generic on POSIX systems. This is even more of a problem on Windows where use of the system category is just wrong, as that is for Windows errors, which have a completely different mapping than POSIX/generic errors. This patch fixes one instance of this mistake in `JSONTransport.cpp`. This patch adds `errnoAsErrorCode()` which makes it so people do not need to think about this issue in the future. It also cleans up a lot of usage of `errno` in LLVM and Clang.
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.
