This patch teaches ubsan to insert exactly one null check for the 'this'
pointer per method/lambda.
Previously, given a load of a member variable from an instance method
('this->x'), ubsan would insert a null check for 'this', and another
null check for '&this->x', before allowing the load to occur.
Similarly, given a call to a method from another method bound to the
same instance ('this->foo()'), ubsan would a redundant null check for
'this'. There is also a redundant null check in the case where the
object pointer is a reference ('Ref.foo()').
This patch teaches ubsan to remove the redundant null checks identified
above.
Testing: check-clang, check-ubsan, and a stage2 ubsan build.
I also compiled X86FastISel.cpp with -fsanitize=null using
patched/unpatched clangs based on r293572. Here are the number of null
checks emitted:
-------------------------------------
| Setup | # of null checks |
-------------------------------------
| unpatched, -O0 | 21767 |
| patched, -O0 | 10758 |
-------------------------------------
Changes since the initial commit:
- Don't introduce any unintentional object-size or alignment checks.
- Don't rely on IRGen of C labels in the test.
