Add partial implementation of std::to_address() as llvm::to_address()

Summary

Following on from the review for D58088, this patch provides the
prerequisite to_address() implementation that's needed to have
pointer_iterator support unique_ptr.

'typename Ptr::element_type *' should be replaced with 'auto' once we move
to C++14 to better align with the C++20 declaration. Until then, this
implementation is limited to fancy pointers with an element_type typedef.
Also, this implementation can be removed once we move to C++20 where it's
defined as std::to_addres()

The std::pointer_traits<>::to_address(p) variations of these overloads has
not been implemented.

Can you use decltype(std::declval<Ptr>().operator->()) instead of typename Ptr::element_type * to avoid requiring an element_type typedef?

Yep, or late bound return:

auto to_address(const Ptr &P) -> decltype(P.operator->()) { return P.operator->(); }

Also probably leave off the noexcept - LLVM doesn't build with exceptions anyway. So there's not a lot/much point in littering noexcept everywhere.

Late bound return, remove noexcept, and update comments to match

I've gone with the late bound return, partly because it's a little shorter and partly because it means we just drop the -> onwards for C++14.

Also probably leave off the noexcept - LLVM doesn't build with exceptions anyway. So there's not a lot/much point in littering noexcept everywhere.

Sure. I only included it to match the std::to_address() declaration we're implementing. As you say, it's not doing anything for LLVM

The fancy pointer overload should return to_address(p.operator->()) but this returns p.operator->().

Is this necessary because you do not have access to __to_raw_pointer() in libc++? That is available in pre-C++20. The actual implementation of std::to_address() in libc++ is what I implemented in __to_raw_pointer() in D35470.

Yeah, this code needs to be portable to other compilers and standard libraries (LLVM can be built with a bunch of different compilers).

1588 ↗(On Diff #187609)

What sort of cases would this support (trying to think of what test coverage to add)?

I guess a multiply-indirect smart pointer? Pretty rare beast, not sure we'd really care/need to support that for LLVM's uses?
