Add missing classof().
Somewhat troublingly, without this implemented, the check inside isa_impl<> would silently use the parent's `classof()` when determining whether it was okay to downcast from the parent to the child! Bug analysis: A build failure after removing the parent's `classof()` initially alerted me to the bug, after which a little bit of thinking and reading of the code identified the root cause. The compiler could be made to prevent this bug from happening if there were a way to ensure that in the code template <typename To, typename From, typename Enabler = void> struct isa_impl { static inline bool doit(const From &Val) { return To::classof(&Val); } }; that `To::classof` is actually inside the class `To`, and not in a base class. I am not aware of a way to check this in C++. If there is a means to perform that check, please bring it up on the list and this will be fixed. There is a high likelihood that there are other instances of this same bug in the codebase. llvm-svn: 165769
