[clang] Match MSVC ABI for over-aligned base tail padding on Arm64 (#210461) When targeting aarch64-pc-windows-msvc, clang laid out a base following an over-aligned, non-standard-layout base at the wrong offset. MSVC on Arm64 reuses the over-aligned base's tail padding for the subsequent base, but clang rounded the base up to a full slot, so the two disagreed on member offsets, breaking interop between clang- and MSVC-built binaries. Fix: store each record's natural non-virtual alignment (excluding `alignas`/`__declspec(align)` over-alignment) as `getNonRequiredNVAlignment()`, and on Arm64 fold in a base's natural alignment rather than its full alignment. This is gated to Arm64 only; Arm64EC and x64 follow the x64 rule (no reuse) and are unchanged. Validated against MSVC (Hostx64\arm64\cl.exe /d1reportSingleClassLayout): clang now matches MSVC Arm64 exactly for the reduced repro, the original polymorphic case (vftable + empty base + template), and a range of probe cases covering natural vs. over-alignment padding and field vs. base reuse. Arm64EC and x64 output is byte-identical to before. Fixes #210174
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.
