[clang][DependencyScanning] Implementation of `CompilerInstanceWithContext` to Improve By-Name Queries (#164345) This PR implements `CompilerInstanceWithContext` to improve by-name dependency queries. Cases exist where we query the dependency of different names, with otherwise identical working directory and compile command line inputs. In these cases, we can create one `CompilerInstance`, whose lifetime is the same as the dependency scanning worker, and reuse the same compiler instance to complete the queries. This way we reduce the amount of header search we need to perform per query, since the already completed header search results are cached in the compiler instance. Using a microbenchmark on a prototype of this implementation, we are seeing a scanning performance improvement of about 20%. The microbenchmark scans a Swift file that imports everything importable. When measuring against a set of internal project builds, the geo mean of total build time improvement is around 1.02x to 1.04x depending on whether the module caches are populated or not.

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.
