25 TODO: File Manager Speedup:
27 We currently do a lot of stat'ing for files that don't exist, particularly
28 when lots of -I paths exist (e.g. see the <iostream> example, check for
29 failures in stat in FileManager::getFile). It would be far better to make
30 the following changes:
31 1. FileEntry contains a sys::Path instead of a std::string for Name.
32 2. sys::Path contains timestamp and size, lazily computed. Eliminate from
34 3. File UIDs are created on request, not when files are opened.
35 These changes make it possible to efficiently have FileEntry objects for
36 files that exist on the file system, but have not been used yet.
39 1. DirectoryEntry gets a boolean value "has read entries". When false, not
40 all entries in the directory are in the file mgr, when true, they are.
41 2. Instead of stat'ing the file in FileManager::getFile, check to see if
42 the dir has been read. If so, fail immediately, if not, read the dir,
44 3. Reading the dir uses the getdirentries syscall, creating a FileEntry

48 // Specifying targets: -triple and -arch
49 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
51 The clang supports "-triple" and "-arch" options. At most one -triple and one
52 -arch option may be specified. Both are optional.
54 The "selection of target" behavior is defined as follows:
56 (1) If the user does not specify -triple, we default to the host triple.
57 (2) If the user specifies a -arch, that overrides the arch in the host or

63 verifyInputConstraint and verifyOutputConstraint should not return bool.
65 Instead we should return something like:
67 enum VerifyConstraintResult {
71 OutputOperandConstraintLacksEqualsCharacter,
72 MatchingConstraintNotValidInOutputOperand,
75 InputOperandConstraintContainsEqualsCharacter,
76 MatchingConstraintReferencesInvalidOperandNumber,
79 PercentConstraintUsedWithLastOperand

84 Blocks should not capture variables that are only used in dead code.
86 The rule that we came up with is that blocks are required to capture
87 variables if they're referenced in evaluated code, even if that code
88 doesn't actually rely on the value of the captured variable.
90 For example, this requires a capture:
95 Summary of <rdar://problem/9851835>: if we implement this, we should
96 warn about non-POD variables that are referenced but not captured, but
97 only if the non-reachability is not due to macro or template

102 We can still apply a modified version of the constructor/destructor
103 delegation optimization in cases of virtual inheritance where:
104 - there is no function-try-block,
105 - the constructor signature is not variadic, and
106 - the parameter variables can safely be copied and repassed
107 to the base constructor because either
108 - they have not had their addresses taken by the vbase initializers or
109 - they were passed indirectly.
