[clang] [TBAA] Don't emit pointer tbaa for unnamed structs or unions. (PR #116596)

[Florian Hahn via cfe-commits]

https://github.com/fhahn created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/116596

For unnamed structs or unions, C's compatible types rule applies. Two compatible types in different compilation units can have different mangled names, meaning the metadata emitted below would incorrectly mark them as no-alias. Use AnyPtr for such types in both C and C++, as C and C++ types may be visible when doing LTO.

Subject: [PATCH] [TBAA] Don't emit pointer tbaa for unnamed structs or unions.

For unnamed structs or unions, C's compatible types rule applies.
Two compatible types in different compilation units can have different
mangled names, meaning the metadata emitted below would incorrectly mark
them as no-alias. Use AnyPtr for such types in both C and C++, as C and
C++ types may be visible when doing LTO.
