[PATCH] D139741: [clang][CodeGen] Use base subobject type layout for potentially-overlapping fields

[Eli Friedman via Phabricator via cfe-commits]

efriedma added inline comments.


================
Comment at: clang/lib/CodeGen/CGRecordLayoutBuilder.cpp:370
+  const auto StorageAlignment = getAlignment(StorageType);
+  if (LayoutSize % StorageAlignment || Layout.getDataSize() % StorageAlignment)
     Packed = true;

Existing code for creating base subobject layout of classes are reused for unions, therefore, packedness of potentially-overlapping union LLVM type and of default union LLVM types must agree as well as for classes. 
That doesn't really get at what I was asking.

`LayoutSize % StorageAlignment || Layout.getDataSize() % StorageAlignment` is basically equivalent to `isNoUniqueAddress ? Layout.getDataSize() % StorageAlignment != 0 : (Layout.getSize() % StorageAlignment || Layout.getDataSize() % StorageAlignment)`.  From my understanding, you want isNoUniqueAddress=true to agree with isNoUniqueAddress=false on whether the result is packed.  So why are the checks different?
