[clang][Interp] Implement while and do-while loops
ClosedPublic

Summary

I was wondering whether it is somehow possible to get a loop into a expression so I can use it directly in a static_assert() (and it would be interpreted directly rather than compiled to bytecode).

Add break and continue support as well.

Can you also add some tests that use nested loops with multiple levels of break and continue use?

Also, I think it might be useful to show the jump statements causing code to be an invalid constant expression, as in:

constexpr int foo() {
  int i;

  do {
    break;
    i = 12;
  } while (1);

  return i;
}

constexpr int f = foo();

I can add a commented-out test case for that, but it is currently being rejected for the wrong reasons. I investigated that in another case already and it will simply be rejected because the variable declaration does not have an initializer. Not because we're reading an uninitialized variable.

infinite loop w/o a side effect are undefined behavior and so should be ill-formed and generate a diagnostic e.g. while(1);, so we should check these cases.

I think that's better done with a more general approach that limits the iteration count for all loops like the current interpreter does. But that would probably blow up this patch too much.

Unfortunately I can't add test case for the case you describe because the clang process with the new interpreter would never terminate :) Can add a commented-out version though.

I think that is fine approach for now.
