In upcoming changes to filesystem I plan to change file_time_type
to use __int128_t as its underlying representation, in order
to allow it to have a range and resolution at least that of
the timespec struct.
There was some pushback against this decision, so I drafted
a document explaining the problems, potential solutions, and
the rational for the decision.
However, it's probably easier to let people read the generated
HTML rather than the raw restructured text. For this reason
I'm commiting the design documents before hand, so they can
be available during any subsequent discussion or code review.

Libc++ is used as a system library on macOS and iOS (amongst others). In order
for users to be able to compile a binary that is intended to be deployed to an
older version of the platform, clang provides the
availability attribute <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html#availability>_
that can be placed on declarations to describe the lifecycle of a symbol in the
library.
See docs/DesignDocs/AvailabilityMarkup.rst for more information.

Summary:
This patch attempts to clean up the macro configuration mess in `<__threading_support>`, specifically the mess involving external threading variants. Additionally this patch adds design documentation for `<__threading_support>` and the configuration macros it uses.
The primary change in this patch is separating the idea of an "external API" provided by `<__external_threading>` and the idea of having an external threading library. Now `_LIBCPP_HAS_THREAD_API_EXTERNAL` means that libc++ should use `<__external_threading>` and that the header is expected to exist. Additionally the new macro `_LIBCPP_HAS_THREAD_LIBRARY_EXTERNAL` is now used to configure for using an "external library" with the default threading API.

This patch implements changes to allow _LIBCPP_ASSERT to throw on failure
instead of aborting. The main changes needed to do this are:
1. Change _LIBCPP_ASSERT to call a handler via a replacable function pointer
instead of calling abort directly. Additionally this patch implements two
handler functions, one which aborts and another that throws an exception.
2. Add _NOEXCEPT_DEBUG macro for disabling noexcept spec on function which
contain _LIBCPP_ASSERT. This is required in order to prevent assertion
failures throwing through a noexcept function. This macro has no effect
unless _LIBCPP_DEBUG_USE_EXCEPTIONS is defined.
Having a non-aborting _LIBCPP_ASSERT is very important to allow sane testing of
debug mode. Currently we can only have one test case per file, since the test
case will cause the program to abort. Testing debug mode this way would require
thousands of test files, most of which would be 95% boiler plate. I don't think
this is a feasible strategy. Fortunately using a throwing debug handler solves
these issues.
Additionally this patch rewrites the documentation for debug mode.

Summary:
This patch fixes a number of problems with the visibility macros across GCC (on Unix) and Windows (DLL import/export semantics). All of the visibility macros are now documented under `DesignDocs/VisibilityMacros.rst`. Now I'll no longer forget the subtleties of each!
This patch adds two new visibility macros:
* `_LIBCPP_ENUM_VIS` for controlling the typeinfo of enum types. Only Clang supports this.
* `_LIBCPP_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_TYPE_VIS` for redefining visibility on explicit instantiation declarations. Clang and Windows require this.
After applying this patch GCC only emits one -Wattribute warning opposed to 30+.

Summary:
Hi all,
This patch is a successor to D11963. However it has changed dramatically and I felt it would be best to start a new review thread.
Please read the design documentation added in this patch for a description of how it works.

Summary:
This patch adds Sphinx based documentation to libc++. The goal is to make it easier to write documentation for libc++ since writing new documentation in HTML is cumbersome. This patch rewrites the main page for libc++ along with the instructions for using, building and testing libc++.
The built documentation can be found and reviewed here: http://efcs.ca/libcxx-docs
In order to build the sphinx documentation you need to specify the cmake options `-DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=ON -DLIBCXX_INCLUDE_DOCS=ON`. This will add the makefile rule `docs-libcxx-html`.
