[clang] Implement a __is_bitwise_cloneable builtin type trait. (#86512) This patch implements a `__is_bitwise_cloneable` builtin in clang. The builtin is used as a guard to check a type can be safely bitwise copied by memcpy. It's functionally similar to `__is_trivially_copyable`, but covers a wider range of types (e.g. classes with virtual functions). The compiler guarantees that after copy, the destination object has the same object representations as the source object. And it is up to user to guarantee that program semantic constraints are satisfied. Context: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/extension-for-creating-objects-via-memcpy
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.
