Big parameter passed by value
Copying large values is inefficient, consider passing by reference; Low, medium, and high size thresholds for detection can be adjusted.
- Inside "SemaConcept.cpp" file, in subsumes<clang::Sema::MaybeEmitAmbiguousAtomicConstraintsDiagnostic(clang::NamedDecl *, llvm::ArrayRef<clang::Expr const *>, clang::NamedDecl *, llvm::ArrayRef<clang::Expr const *>)::[lambda(clang::AtomicConstraint const &, clang::AtomicConstraint const &) (instance 2)]>(llvm::SmallVector<llvm::SmallVector<clang::AtomicConstraint *, 2u>, 4u>, llvm::SmallVector<llvm::SmallVector<clang::AtomicConstraint *, 2u>, 4u>, T1): A large function call parameter exceeding the low threshold is passed by value.
i. pass_by_value: Passing parameter PDNF of type NormalForm (size 144 bytes) by value, which exceeds the low threshold of 128 bytes.
ii. pass_by_value: Passing parameter QCNF of type NormalForm (size 144 bytes) by value, which exceeds the low threshold of 128 bytes.
- Inside "CodeGenAction.cpp" file, in clang::reportOptRecordError(llvm::Error, clang::DiagnosticsEngine &, clang::CodeGenOptions): A very large function call parameter exceeding the high threshold is passed by value.

- Inside "SemaConcept.cpp" file, in <unnamed>::SatisfactionStackRAII::SatisfactionStackRAII(clang::Sema &, clang::NamedDecl const *, llvm::FoldingSetNodeID): A large function call parameter exceeding the low threshold is passed by value.
i. pass_by_value: Passing parameter FSNID of type llvm::FoldingSetNodeID (size 144 bytes) by value, which exceeds the low threshold of 128 bytes.
This shouldn't be the SmallVector, this should be an ArrayRef unless they need to modify it (or a llvm::SmallVectorImpl of the type if they do).
Also, anything that you're changing to be a 'reference' from a copy changes semantics unless you make it a const-ref.
