Somewhat surprisingly, signature help is emitted as a side-effect of
computing the expected type of a function argument.
The reason is that both actions require enumerating the possible
function signatures and running partial overload resolution, and doing
this twice would be wasteful and complicated.
Change #1: document this, it's subtle :-)
However, sometimes we need to compute the expected type without having
reached the code completion cursor yet - in particular to allow
completion of designators.
eb4ab3358cd4dc834a761191b5531b38114f7b13 did this but introduced a
regression - it emits signature help in the wrong location as a side-effect.
Change #2: only emit signature help if the code completion cursor was reached.
Currently there is PP.isCodeCompletionReached(), but we can't use it
because it's set *after* running code completion.
It'd be nice to set this implicitly when the completion token is lexed,
but ConsumeCodeCompletionToken() makes this complicated.
Change #3: call cutOffParsing() *first* when seeing a completion token.
After this, the fact that the Sema::Produce*SignatureHelp() functions
are even more confusing, as they only sometimes do that.
I don't want to rename them in this patch as it's another large
mechanical change, but we should soon.
Change #4: prepare to rename ProduceSignatureHelp() to GuessArgumentType() etc.
i know you are keeping it as is, but what about just calling cutoffparsing before entering the loop once, rather than in 3 places.
