Always allow redefinition of typedefs when modules are enabled. This
is important because it's fairly common for headers (especially system headers) to want to provide only those typedefs needed for that particular header, based on some guard macro, e.g., #ifndef _SIZE_T #define _SIZE_T typedef long size_t; #endif which is repeated in a number of headers. The guard macro protects against duplicate definitions. However, this means that only the first occurrence of this pattern actually defines size_t, so the submodule corresponding to this header has the only visible definition. If a user then imports a different submodule from the same module, size_t will be known but not visible, and therefore cannot be used. By allowing redefinition of typedefs, each header that wants to define size_t can do so independently, so it will be available in the corresponding submodules. llvm-svn: 147775
