Refactor how FunctionDecl handles constexpr:
AcceptedPublic

Authored by nwilson on Nov 18 2016, 7:59 PM.

Details

Summary
  • This distinguishes between whether a function has constexpr specified and if a function is implicitly constexpr (implicitly inline).
  • This also gives the ability to mark a function concept as implicitly constexpr (and implicitly inline)

How is the inline property transmitted here? Why does the setImplicitlyConstexpr function need to call setImplicitlyInline?

1920

The quote does not seem to be pertinent here. Maybe have it a few lines down?

1924

I am quite sure this is not the right thing to do when IC is false.

The parenthetical here seems to be no longer needed.

This reads wrong to me. I get that the idea is that the function should not be semantically considered constexpr, but the choice of setImplicitlyConstexpr seems odd.

This does not strike me as being very portable (I may be mistaken about how clang -cc1 works though). I think it would be much safer to use char [8] here (and in general for the size matching).

inline isn't really transmitted here. When we create a FunctionDecl in CreateNewFunctionDecl we could use this rather than passing isConstexpr as a parameter to the constructor. setImplicitlyConstexpr is intended to be used downstream such as in ActOnFunctionDeclarator or CheckExplicitlyDefaultedSpecialMember.

1920

Sorry, can you point to where you're thinking below?

1924

Good point. I could do if (IC) setImplicitlyInline();, but that doesn't seem great with these smaller functions. Any suggestions by you or @rsmith would be great!

lib/Sema/SemaDecl.cpp
8085–8086

I'll remove it.

9108

Hmm, I'm not sure if we should keep around setConstexpr to handle cases either... Do you or @rsmith have any opinion?

Yeah, good point. I'll fix this.

Doing something automatic here with the inline specifier is turning out to be too complex. Instead, let's just remove the setImplicitlyInline() call from here and call it explicitly when handling a concept.

  • Remove the call to setImplicitlyInline() within setImplicitlyConstexpr() and call setImplicitlyInline() directly for function concepts.

Small Ping. @rsmith - did you have anymore thoughts about this patch?
