llvm::format() is somewhat unsafe. The compiler does not check that integer
parameter size matches the %x or %d size and it does not complain when a
StringRef is passed for a %s. And correctly using a StringRef with format() is
ugly because you have to convert it to a std::string then call c_str().
The cases where llvm::format() is useful is controlling how numbers and
strings are printed, especially when you want fixed width output. This
patch adds some new formatting functions to raw_streams to format numbers
and StringRefs in a type safe manner. Some examples:
OS << format_hex(255, 6) => "0x00ff"
OS << format_hex(255, 4) => "0xff"
OS << format_decimal(0, 5) => " 0"
OS << format_decimal(255, 5) => " 255"
OS << right_justify(Str, 5) => " foo"
OS << left_justify(Str, 5) => "foo "
