[clang] AST: remove DependentTemplateSpecializationType (#158109) A DependentTemplateSpecializationType (DTST) is basically just a TemplateSpecializationType (TST) with a hardcoded DependentTemplateName (DTN) as its TemplateName. This removes the DTST and replaces all uses of it with a TST, removing a lot of duplication in the implementation. Technically the hardcoded DTN is an optimization for a most common case, but the TST implementation is in better shape overall and with other optimizations, so this patch ends up being an overall performance positive: <img width="1465" height="38" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/084b0694-2839-427a-b664-eff400f780b5" /> A DTST also didn't allow a template name representing a DTN that was substituted, such as from an alias template, while the TST does allow it by the simple fact it can hold an arbitrary TemplateName, so this patch also increases the amount of sugar retained, while still being faster overall. Example (from included test case): ```C++ template<template<class> class TT> using T1 = TT<int>; template<class T> using T2 = T1<T::template X>; ``` Here we can now represent in the AST that `TT` was substituted for the dependent template name `T::template X`.
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.
