Summary

With this patch, the copies of the files ItaniumDemangle.h, StringView.h, and Utility.h are kept byte-for-byte in sync between libcxxabi and llvm. All differences (namespaces, fallthrough, and unreachable macros) are defined in each copies' DemanglerConfig.h. This patch also adds a script to copy changes from libcxxabi (cp-to-llvm.sh), and a README.txt explaining the situation.

Thanks for taking a look!

This is awesome.

  1. Should we document in the README.txt that we want to split "demangle" out to a separate top-level directory some time after the monorepo move?
  2. I suggest adding a bot that runs the script and confirms that git status is clean.

Sure, new patch adds this.

That's a good idea. I don't know how to go about doing that, but it seems like it should be pretty straightforward.

Is DEMANGLE_ENABLE_DUMP ever going to be defined? LLVM_ENABLE_DUMP gets defined in llvm-config.h in response to a CMake variable. I don't see anything analogous here.

I like this change a lot. I was hoping something like this could be done, when I saw that we were copying patches around.

(Not clicking accept as I don't feel like an owner here.)

Use an impersonal form here? "It is also highly recommended...", or at least change "I" to "we".

Use an impersonal tone in the README, remove DEMANGLE_ENABLE_DUMP.

Ah, no it's not, sorry! Just went through this file too quickly I guess.

I think I'll just land this, I have some dependent work that I want to do.
