Fix PR32933: crash on lambda capture of VLA
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32933
Turns out clang wasn't really handling vla's (*) in C++11's for-range entirely correctly.
For e.g. This would lead to generation of buggy IR:
void foo(int b) {
int vla[b];
b = -1; // This store would affect the '__end = vla + b'
for (int &c : vla)
c = 0;
}
Additionally, code-gen would get confused when VLA's were reference-captured by lambdas, and then used in a for-range, which would result in an attempt to generate IR for '__end = vla + b' within the lambda's body - without any capture of 'b' - hence the assertion.
This patch modifies clang, so that for VLA's it translates the end pointer approximately into:
__end = __begin + sizeof(vla)/sizeof(vla->getElementType())
As opposed to the __end = __begin + b;
I considered passing a magic value into codegen - or having codegen special case the '__end' variable when it referred to a variably-modified type, but I decided against that approach, because it smelled like I would be increasing a complicated form of coupling, that I think would be even harder to maintain than the above approach (which can easily be optimized (-O1) to refer to the run-time bound that was calculated upon array's creation or copied into the lambda's closure object).
(*) why oh why gcc would you enable this by default?! ;)
