Additionally, all such cases are handled with no dynamic check.
All `classof()` of the form
class Foo {
[...]
static bool classof(const Bar *) { return true; }
[...]
}
where Foo is an ancestor of Bar are no longer necessary.
Don't write them!
Note: The exact test is `is_base_of<Foo, Bar>`, which is non-strict, so
that Foo is considered an ancestor of itself.
This leads to the following rule of thumb for LLVM-style RTTI:
The argument type of `classof()` should be a strict ancestor.

This silences several analyzer warnings within LLVM, and provides a slightly
nicer crash experience when someone calls isa<>, cast<>, or dyn_cast<> with
a null pointer.

static inline member function doit(). This enables the use of partial
specialization to override the last stage of the "isa" check.

cast needs to adjust for a vtable pointer when going from base to
derived type (when the base doesn't have a vtable but the
derived type does).

In order for the changes in r78424 to work properly, cast_retty<X,Y> should return an object instead of a reference, and it's not clear that this approach has real advantages.

The use case is if you have a wrapper class:
class Base {
void *Ptr;
public:
Base() : Ptr(0) { }
operator bool() const { return Ptr; }
.....
}
and sub-wrappers that have exactly the same size:
class Sub : public Base {
public:
....
static bool classof(const Base*);
}
and in the code you would do:
void f(Base b) {
Sub sub = dyn_cast<Sub>(b);
if (sub) {
....
}
}

NULL-based reference.
Note: Encountered this a few times on Tiger + gcc 4.0.1. Might just be a
platform-specific compiler issue, but it's good defensive programming in any
case.

Move include/Config and include/Support into include/llvm/Config,
include/llvm/ADT and include/llvm/Support. From here on out, all LLVM
public header files must be under include/llvm/.
