Implement caching of code-completion results for macro definitions
when the CXTranslationUnit_CacheCompletionResults option is given to clang_parseTranslationUnit(). Essentially, we compute code-completion results for macro definitions after we have parsed the file, then store an ASTContext-agnostic version of those results (completion string, cursor kind, priority, and active contexts) in the ASTUnit. When performing code completion in that ASTUnit, we splice the macro definition results into the results provided by the actual code-completion (which has had macros turned off) before libclang gets those results. We use completion context information to only splice in those results that make sense for that context. With a completion involving all of the macros from Cocoa.h and a few other system libraries (totally ~8500 macro definitions) living in a precompiled header, we get about a 9% performance improvement from code completion, since we no longer have to deserialize all of the macro definitions from the precompiled header. Note that macro definitions are merely the canary; the cache is designed to also support other top-level declarations, which should be a bigger performance win. That optimization will be next. Note also that there is no mechanism for determining when to throw away the cache and recompute its contents. llvm-svn: 111051
