Completely reimplement __builtin_offsetof, based on a patch by Roberto
Amadini. This change introduces a new expression node type, OffsetOfExpr, that describes __builtin_offsetof. Previously, __builtin_offsetof was implemented using a unary operator whose subexpression involved various synthesized array-subscript and member-reference expressions, which was ugly and made it very hard to instantiate as a template. OffsetOfExpr represents the AST more faithfully, with proper type source information and a more compact representation. OffsetOfExpr also has support for dependent __builtin_offsetof expressions; it can be value-dependent, but will never be type-dependent (like sizeof or alignof). This commit introduces template instantiation for __builtin_offsetof as well. There are two major caveats to this patch: 1) CodeGen cannot handle the case where __builtin_offsetof is not a constant expression, so it produces an error. So, to avoid regressing in C, we retain the old UnaryOperator-based __builtin_offsetof implementation in C while using the shiny new OffsetOfExpr implementation in C++. The old implementation can go away once we have proper CodeGen support for this case, which we expect won't cause much trouble in C++. 2) __builtin_offsetof doesn't work well with non-POD class types, particularly when the designated field is found within a base class. I will address this in a subsequent patch. Fixes PR5880 and a bunch of assertions when building Boost.Python tests. llvm-svn: 102542
