libclang is only built as static library in the GN build at the
moment, which means we now generate a .exports file form a version
script and then link.exe and ld64 inputs from the .exports file
but don't use the version script, but hey.
Finds function calls where the call arguments might be provided in an
incorrect order, based on the comparison (via string metrics) of the
parameter names and the argument names against each other.
A diagnostic is emitted if an argument name is similar to a *different*
parameter than the one currently passed to, and it is sufficiently
dissimilar to the one it **is** passed to currently.
False-positive warnings from this check are useful to indicate bad
naming convention issues, even if a swap isn't necessary.
This check does not generate FixIts.
Originally implemented by @varjujan as his Master's Thesis work.
The check was subsequently taken over by @barancsuk who added type
conformity checks to silence false positive matches.
The work by @whisperity involved driving the check's review and fixing
some more bugs in the process.

This new MIR pass removes redundant DBG_VALUEs.
After the register allocator is done, more precisely, after
the Virtual Register Rewriter, we end up having duplicated
DBG_VALUEs, since some virtual registers are being rewritten
into the same physical register as some of existing DBG_VALUEs.
Each DBG_VALUE should indicate (at least before the LiveDebugValues)
variables assignment, but it is being clobbered for function
parameters during the SelectionDAG since it generates new DBG_VALUEs
after COPY instructions, even though the parameter has no assignment.
For example, if we had a DBG_VALUE $regX as an entry debug value
representing the parameter, and a COPY and after the COPY,
DBG_VALUE $virt_reg, and after the virtregrewrite the $virt_reg gets
rewritten into $regX, we'd end up having redundant DBG_VALUE.
This breaks the definition of the DBG_VALUE since some analysis passes
might be built on top of that premise..., and this patch tries to fix
the MIR with the respect to that.
This first patch performs bacward scan, by trying to detect a sequence of
consecutive DBG_VALUEs, and to remove all DBG_VALUEs describing one
variable but the last one:
For example:
(1) DBG_VALUE $edi, !"var1", ...
(2) DBG_VALUE $esi, !"var2", ...
(3) DBG_VALUE $edi, !"var1", ...
...
in this case, we can remove (1).
By combining the forward scan that will be introduced in the next patch
(from this stack), by inspecting the statistics, the RemoveRedundantDebugValues
removes 15032 instructions by using gdb-7.11 as a testbed.

Users should generally observe no difference as long as they don't use
unintended option forms. Behavior changes:
* `-t=d` is removed. Use `-t d` instead.
* `--demangle=false` and `--demangle=0` cannot be used. Omit the option or use `--no-demangle`. Other flag-style options don't have `--no-` forms.
* `--help-list` is removed. This is a `cl::` specific option.
* llvm-readobj now supports grouped short options as well.
* `--color` is removed. This is generally not useful (only apply to errors/warnings) but was inherited from Support.
Some adjustment to the canonical forms
(usually from GNU readelf; currently llvm-readobj has too many redundant aliases):
* --dyn-syms is canonical. --dyn-symbols is a hidden alias
* --file-header is canonical. --file-headers is a hidden alias
* --histogram is canonical. --elf-hash-histogram is a hidden alias
* --relocs is canonical. --relocations is a hidden alias
* --section-groups is canonical. --elf-section-groups is a hidden alias
OptTable avoids global option collision if we decide to support multiplexing for binary utilities.
* Most one-dash long options are still supported. `-dt, -sd, -st, -sr` are dropped due to their conflict with grouped short options.
* `--section-mapping=false` (D57365) is strange but is kept for now.
* Many `cl::opt` variables were unnecessarily external. I added `static` whenever appropriate.

This to protect against non-sensical instruction sequences being assembled,
which would either cause asserts/crashes further down, or a Wasm module being output that doesn't validate.
Unlike a validator, this type checker is able to give type-errors as part of the parsing process, which makes the assembler much friendlier to be used by humans writing manual input.
Because the MC system is single pass (instructions aren't even stored in MC format, they are directly output) the type checker has to be single pass as well, which means that from now on .globaltype and .functype decls must come before their use. An extra pass is added to Codegen to collect information for this purpose, since AsmPrinter is normally single pass / streaming as well, and would otherwise generate this information on the fly.
A `-no-type-check` flag was added to llvm-mc (and any other tools that take asm input) that surpresses type errors, as a quick escape hatch for tests that were not intended to be type correct.
This is a first version of the type checker that ignores control flow, i.e. it checks that types are correct along the linear path, but not the branch path. This will still catch most errors. Branch checking could be added in the future.

Part of https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2021-July/151622.html
"Binary utilities: switch command line parsing from llvm::cl to OptTable"
* `--totals=false` and `--totals=0` cannot be used. Omit the option.
* `--help-list` is removed. This is a `cl::` specific option.
OptTable avoids global option collision if we decide to support multiplexing for binary utilities.
Note: because the tool is simple, and its long options are uncommon, I just drop
the one-dash forms except `-arch <value>` (Darwin style).
