Lang Hames ac99f6d165 [Support] Add support RTTI support for open class hierarchies.
This patch extracts the RTTI part of llvm::ErrorInfo into its own class
(RTTIExtends) so that it can be used in other non-error hierarchies, and makes
it compatible with the existing LLVM RTTI function templates (isa, cast,
dyn_cast, dyn_cast_or_null) by adding the classof method.

// Defines an extensible RTTI mechanism designed to work with Casting.h.
//
// Extensible RTTI differs from LLVM's primary RTTI mechanism (see
// llvm.org/docs/HowToSetUpLLVMStyleRTTI.html) by supporting open type
// hierarchies, where new types can be added from outside libraries without
// needing to change existing code. LLVM's primary RTTI mechanism should be
// preferred where possible, but where open hierarchies are needed this system
// can be used.
//
// The RTTIRoot class defines methods for comparing type ids. Implementations
// of these methods can be injected into new classes using the RTTIExtends
// class template.
//
// E.g.
//
// @code{.cpp}
// class MyBaseClass : public RTTIExtends<MyBaseClass, RTTIRoot> {
// public:
// static char ID;
// virtual void foo() = 0;
// };
//
// class MyDerivedClass1 : public RTTIExtends<MyDerivedClass1, MyBaseClass> {
// public:
// static char ID;
// void foo() override {}
// };
//
// class MyDerivedClass2 : public RTTIExtends<MyDerivedClass2, MyBaseClass> {
// public:
// static char ID;
// void foo() override {}
// };
//
// char MyBaseClass::ID = 0;
// char MyDerivedClass1::ID = 0;
// char MyDerivedClass2:: ID = 0;
//
// void fn() {
// std::unique_ptr<MyBaseClass> B = llvm::make_unique<MyDerivedClass1>();
// llvm::outs() << isa<MyBaseClass>(B) << "\n"; // Outputs "1".
// llvm::outs() << isa<MyDerivedClass1>(B) << "\n"; // Outputs "1".
// llvm::outs() << isa<MyDerivedClass2>(B) << "\n"; // Outputs "0'.
// }
