The following Objective-C code currently incorrectly triggers
clang-tidy's performance-unnecessary-value-param check:
% cat /tmp/performance-unnecessary-value-param-arc.m void foo(id object) { } clang-tidy /tmp/performance-unnecessary-value-param-arc.m -checks=-\*,performance-unnecessary-value-param -- -xobjective-c -fobjc-abi-version=2 -fobjc-arc 1 warning generated. /src/llvm/tools/clang/tools/extra/test/clang-tidy/performance-unnecessary-value-param-arc.m:10:13: warning: the parameter 'object' is copied for each invocation but only used as a const reference; consider making it a const reference [performance-unnecessary-value-param] void foo(id object) { } ~~ ^ const &
This is wrong for a few reasons:
- Objective-C doesn't have references, so const & is not going to help
- ARC heavily optimizes the "expensive" copy which triggers the warning
This fixes the issue by disabling the warning for non-C++, as well as
disabling it for objects under ARC memory management for
Objective-C++.

Test Plan: New tests added. Ran tests with make -j12 check-clang-tools.
