This is phase-1 of switching from llvm::Optional to std::optional in the
next rebranch. llvm::Optional was removed from upstream LLVM, so we need
to migrate off rather soon. On Darwin, std::optional, and llvm::Optional
have the same layout, so we don't need to be as concerned about ABI
beyond the name mangling. `llvm::Optional` is only returned from one
function in
```
getStandardTypeSubst(StringRef TypeName,
bool allowConcurrencyManglings);
```
It's the return value, so it should not impact the mangling of the
function, and the layout is the same as `std::optional`, so it should be
mostly okay. This function doesn't appear to have users, and the ABI was
already broken 2 years ago for concurrency and no one seemed to notice
so this should be "okay".
I'm doing the migration incrementally so that folks working on main can
cherry-pick back to the release/5.9 branch. Once 5.9 is done and locked
away, then we can go through and finish the replacement. Since `None`
and `Optional` show up in contexts where they are not `llvm::None` and
`llvm::Optional`, I'm preparing the work now by going through and
removing the namespace unwrapping and making the `llvm` namespace
explicit. This should make it fairly mechanical to go through and
replace llvm::Optional with std::optional, and llvm::None with
std::nullopt. It's also a change that can be brought onto the
release/5.9 with minimal impact. This should be an NFC change.
A request is intended to be a pure function of its inputs. That function could, in theory, fail. In practice, there were basically no requests taking advantage of this ability - the few that were using it to explicitly detect cycles can just return reasonable defaults instead of forwarding the error on up the stack.
This is because cycles are checked by *the Evaluator*, and are unwound by the Evaluator.
Therefore, restore the idea that the evaluate functions are themselves pure, but keep the idea that *evaluation* of those requests may fail. This model enables the best of both worlds: we not only keep the evaluator flexible enough to handle future use cases like cancellation and diagnostic invalidation, but also request-based dependencies using the values computed at the evaluation points. These aforementioned use cases would use the llvm::Expected interface and the regular evaluation-point interface respectively.
Encode the input and output parameters for a SimpleRequest instance in a
function type and move the CacheKind to the end, making it easier to
sort out inputs from outputs:
```
class DefaultTypeRequest
: public SimpleRequest<DefaultTypeRequest,
Type(KnownProtocolKind, const DeclContext *),
CacheKind::SeparatelyCached>
```
When building with Visual Studio, the following error is identified:
'SimpleRequest': non-class template has already been declared as a class template
note: see declaration of 'SimpleRequest'
Change the friend declarations to friend the type without the `class` specifier.
This patch removes the need for Request objects to provide a default
cycle-breaking value, instead opting to return llvm::Expected so clients
must handle a cycle failure explicitly.
Currently, all clients do the 'default' behavior, but this opens the
possibility for future requests to handle failures explicitly.
