Summary

This scheme checks that pointer and lvalue casts are made to an object of
the correct dynamic type; that is, the dynamic type of the object must be
a derived class of the pointee type of the cast. The checks are currently
only introduced where the class being casted to is a polymorphic class.

Could you have a quick blurb that helps decipher the metadata !"1B' part, explaining that it's the important bit in the checks.

CHECK-LABEL-DCAST (same below).

Add rvalue ref test?

A a();

B rvalue() {
  return static_cast<B&&>(a());
}

Don't we want more verbose names?
cfi-polymorphic-base-downcast
cfi-void-to-polymorphic-cast
or something.
