[Clang] Implement __builtin_source_location.
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

This builtin returns the address of a global instance of the
std::source_location::__impl type, which must be defined (with an
appropriate shape) before calling the builtin.

It will be used to implement std::source_location in libc++ in a
future change. The builtin is compatible with GCC's implementation,
and libstdc++'s usage. An intentional divergence is that GCC declares
the builtin's return type to be const void* (for
ease-of-implementation reasons), while Clang uses the actual type,
const std::source_location::__impl*.

In order to support this new functionality, I've also added a new
'UnnamedGlobalConstantDecl'. This artificial Decl is modeled after
MSGuidDecl, and is used to represent a generic concept of an lvalue
constant with global scope, deduplicated by its value. It's possible
that MSGuidDecl itself, or some of the other similar sorts of things
in Clang might be able to be refactored onto this more-generic
concept, but there's enough special-case weirdness in MSGuidDecl that
I gave up attempting to share code there, at least for now.

Finally, for compatibility with libstdc++'s <source_location> header,
I've added a second exception to the "cannot cast from void* to T* in
constant evaluation" rule. This seems a bit distasteful, but feels
like the best available option.

Thank you for this! I've got some initial comments on it.

Btw, I think there may be some functionality missing for AST dumping, so I'd like to see some additional tests for that.

clang/docs/LanguageExtensions.rst
3343–3344

Doesn't the type for <any-integral-type> matter though, due to layout differences based on the size of the integer type picked?

Also, a downside of requiring this type to be defined before the builtin can be used is that this builtin would otherwise be suitable in C, but there's no way to name that particular type. Is there anything we can do to keep this builtin generic enough to be used in C as well?

clang/include/clang/AST/DeclCXX.h
4191
4192

I presume this is what was meant, right?

4221

printName() in a class named UnnamedGlobalConstantDecl (which isn't a NamedDecl) seems a bit confusing as to what this actually prints.

Also, what is this overriding? NamedDecl has a virtual printName() function, but ValueDecl does not. I have the sneaking suspicion that this can be removed.

clang/include/clang/AST/Expr.h
4709

Should this also be marked LLVM_READONLY as in the original interface?

clang/include/clang/Basic/DiagnosticSemaKinds.td
11506–11509
clang/include/clang/Serialization/ASTBitCodes.h
44

Do we need to bump this value now that we have a new kind of AST node?

clang/lib/AST/Expr.cpp
2270

Under what conditions can Context be null? (should this be a dyn_cast instead?)

clang/lib/AST/ExprClassification.cpp
468–471

Plus fix the formatting that I'm sure I broke.

473–474
clang/lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp
1982–1983
8830–8832

Do we want to be even more restrictive here and tie it to libstdc++ (e.g., like we did in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/lib/Sema/SemaDeclCXX.cpp#L12352)

clang/lib/Sema/SemaExpr.cpp
3257

Spurious indentation change?

3405

Perhaps stupid question, but do we want this to be an lvalue as opposed to a prvalue?

13831–13833

Might as well combine these as well.

16025
16072

I would set the count to 5 instead of 0 because otherwise someone could do something stupid like:

namespace std {
struct source_location {
  struct __impl {
    int Muahahahahhahaha;
    // ... The other four fields.
  };
};
}
clang/lib/Sema/SemaTemplate.cpp
6998–6999
clang/test/SemaCXX/source_location.cpp
383–385

Why are these commented out?

Ah, one more thing I missed -- you should add a release note for this functionality.

Btw, I think there may be some functionality missing for AST dumping, so I'd like to see some additional tests for that.

I'm not sure what test would actually show a problem (or lack thereof) in the ast dumping -- AFAICT, UnnamedGlobalConstantDecl can't actually show up in an AST dump at the moment. The AST generated for a __builtin_source_location call doesn't contain one, since it's only when evaluating the value that you receive an LValue pointing to an UnnamedGlobalConstantDecl. But https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/fdfe26ddbeb1a5eb6106a6a27d6f8240deca543f/clang/lib/AST/TextNodeDumper.cpp#L535 doesn't print those usefully, anyhow.

clang/docs/LanguageExtensions.rst
3343–3344

The type of the integer (as well as ordering of the fields) doesn't matter, because the code populates fields in the actual struct layout as defined, it doesn't assume a particular layout.

As for making it usable from C code, possibly we could have it attempt to look-up a __source_location_impl type in C mode (or maybe always, as a fallback if std::source_location::__impl doesn't exist).

But, that's something we could add later if needed -- and before going that route, I think we should discuss with GCC/libstdc++ to try to remain compatible.

clang/include/clang/AST/DeclCXX.h
4192

Yep.

4221

class ValueDecl : public NamedDecl -- so, UnnamedGlobalConstantDecl _is_ a "NamedDecl". I suspect it's not strictly needed, but it does affect what's printed in debug output for this type.

clang/include/clang/AST/Expr.h
4709

I don't think it'd actually make a difference, and we don't typically go around annotating everything with that attribute. It was weird that isStringType wasn't annotated but isIntType was, in the first place.

clang/include/clang/Serialization/ASTBitCodes.h
44

Probably so. It looks like we don't generally bump this number, but that's probably accidental.

clang/lib/AST/Expr.cpp
2270

That came from the similar code above for __builtin_FUNCTION. I don't think it can actually be null (in either place). Changed in both.

clang/lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp
8830–8832

I don't see anything in the code you linked that makes it libstdc++-tied? But, in any case, I think restricting to std::source_location::current is sufficiently narrow that it doesn't much matter.

We also have the option of not doing this hack, since it's going to be fixed in libstdc++. However, given that a similar hack is already present for std::allocator, extending it to source_location doesn't seem that terrible.

(And IMO, it would make sense for the C++ standard to actually permit this in constant evaluation, anyways...)

clang/lib/Sema/SemaExpr.cpp
3405

I think so? I was thinking of it as acting effectively like a string literal.

clang/test/SemaCXX/source_location.cpp
383–385

Oops -- intended to update those to the proper strings. Fixed.

Ah, okay, that's a good point. I was thinking this would show up in the AST in places like:

template <typename Ty>
auto func() -> Ty;

int main() {
  func<decltype(__builtin_source_location())>();
}

when we go to print the Ty type from the template. Does that not happen?

clang/docs/LanguageExtensions.rst
3343–3344

Okay, I'm fine adding that support later; I definitely agree about the compatibility concerns.

clang/include/clang/AST/DeclCXX.h
4221

How the heck did I miss that? Sorry for the noise.

clang/include/clang/AST/Expr.h
4709

SGTM

clang/lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp
8830–8832

I'm fine adding the hack, but the restrictions I was thinking of was forcing it to only work in a system header.

clang/lib/Sema/SemaExpr.cpp
3405

I was thinking the same thing, but I had thought string literals were a prvalue the same as integer literals, oops. :-)

The type is simply const std::source_location::__impl*. Only the evaluated value refers to an UnnamedGlobalConstantDecl.

If it was possible to use in a non-type template argument, I think you could get it to show up in the AST for the instantiation, but that's not supported. E.g.

template <auto T = __builtin_source_location()>
    class X {};

X<> x;

Results in:

test.cc:12:20: error: non-type template argument does not refer to any declaration
template <auto T = __builtin_source_location()>
                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
test.cc:15:3: note: while checking a default template argument used here
X<> x;
~~^
clang/lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp
8830–8832

Oh, I see. That doesn't seem important here, since non-system code should not be defining a std::source_location::current() function anyhow.

(But if we keep needing to add exceptions here, maybe eventually we just decide to just turn this error into a default-on warningerror, and not diagnose it in system headers.)

Excellent, thank you for double-checking! This does raise an interesting question about the AST import functionality -- if UnnamedGlobalConstantDecl can't show up in the AST, do we need to handle AST reading and writing for it, or can we assert that it should never show up through PCH/Modules?

In general, this is looking pretty good to me. Adding Erich in case he spots something I missed.
