[libc++] improve feature test macro script

Summary

I've been playing a bit with the generate_feature_test_macro_components.py script and replaced some hardcoded values with extra code generation (generate ALL the things).
The output is the same and it makes updating the script less work for the coming 25 C++ standards (until 2 digit number overflow).

Feel free to 'veto' if you think it's overkill.

Seems like a generally good direction to me, FWIW.

I see no obvious reason for the special case here. Sure we currently do it as #if TEST_STD_VER < 14, but would anything really break if we did it as #if TEST_STD_VER == 11 instead? It'd be worth trying to find out.

I think this should just be assert not std_dialects[-1][-1].isnumeric(), and then simplify accordingly. (That would technologically enforce my earlier opinion that whoever changes 2a to 20 should go ahead and add 2b at the same time.)

925

FWIW, I would recommend copying the style from circa line 800: use template.format("""...""") instead of f-strings, and use one big """ string with all the arguments collected at the bottom, instead of a bunch of little strings append'ed together. (This also solves your question about whether f-strings are allowed, because you'd no longer need to use f-strings.)

This [1:] smells questionable.

Concerning Python version, I don't know of any official policy but given that Python 3.5 is already end-of-life, requiring Python 3.6 seems OK.

The direction looks good to me too.

Technically, LLVM decided to support Python 2.7 until January 2021 if I remember correctly. So I think we might be good.

But in all cases, this script is only run by libc++ contributors, and I think it's a more-than-reasonable requirement for that.

I assume nr stands for number? I would find it a lot easier to read if you used number instead of trying to save a few characters (here and below).

a special case is also needed for #if vs #elif, so I would keep it

If c++11 is not skipped an empty table section will be generated for c++11 as it has not macros

It seems to me like the correct thing to do here is to not include c++11 in the dialects in the first place, then?

removed c++11 from the std dialects and updated the code

Any action required from my side?

The usual workflow for frequent contributors is to commit themselves as explained in https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#obtaining-commit-access. If you plan on submitting a lot of patches, you should consider getting commit access so that we don't have to commit it for you. For now, it's fine of course -- I'll commit this for you.

Thanks!
