[clang-tidy] Compact the confusable identifier table (#202626)

Encode confusable replacement strings once in a shared UTF-8 byte array.
Each sorted mapping becomes an eight-byte code point, 16-bit offset, and
16-bit length entry instead of reserving nineteen UTF-32 code points for
every replacement.

ConfusableIdentifierCheck appends the UTF-8 slice directly after the
binary search, removing the per-identifier UTF-32 to UTF-8 conversion.
Add compile-time assertions for the eight-byte entry layout and the 64
KiB replacement-data limit, plus generator-side overflow checks.

The logical table shrinks from 508,400 to 63,327 bytes, saving 445,073
bytes. A stripped standalone clang-tidy shrinks from 91,116,608 to
90,654,176 bytes, saving 462,432 bytes (0.508%).

A lookup microbenchmark improves from 79.9 to 40.4 ns median. A
100,000-identifier clang-tidy benchmark improves from 0.343 to 0.314
seconds mean.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting in touch

Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
