Subject: [PATCH 1/4] [libc++] Encode additional ODR-affecting properties in
 the ABI tag

As explained in __config, we have an ABI tag that we use to ensure that
we don't run into ODR issues when mixing different versions of libc++
in multiple TUs. However, the reasoning behind that extends not only to
different versions of libc++, but also to different configurations of
the same version of libc++. In fact, we've been aware of this for a while
but never really bothered to make the change because ODR issues are often
thought to be benign.

Well, it turns out that I just spent over an hour banging my head against
an issue that boils down to our lack of encoding some ODR properties in
the ABI tag, so here's the patch we should have done a long time ago.

For now, the ODR properties we encode in the ABI tag are:
- library version
- exceptions vs no-exceptions
- hardening mode

Those are all things that we support different values for on a per-TU
basis and they definitely affect ODR in a meaningful way. We can add
more properties later as we see fit.

 // This macro marks a symbol as being hidden from libc++'s ABI. This is achieved
 // on two levels:
 // 1. The symbol is given hidden visibility, which ensures that users won't start exporting
 //    symbols from their dynamic library by means of using the libc++ headers. This ensures
 //    that those symbols stay private to the dynamic library in which it is defined.
 //
-// 2. The symbol is given an ABI tag that changes with each version of libc++. This ensures
-//    that no ODR violation can arise from mixing two TUs compiled with different versions
-//    of libc++ where we would have changed the definition of a symbol. If the symbols shared
-//    the same name, the ODR would require that their definitions be token-by-token equivalent,
-//    which basically prevents us from being able to make any change to any function in our
-//    headers. Using this ABI tag ensures that the symbol name is "bumped" artificially at
-//    each release, which lets us change the definition of these symbols at our leisure.
-//    Note that historically, this has been achieved in various ways, including force-inlining
-//    all functions or giving internal linkage to all functions. Both these (previous) solutions
-//    suffer from drawbacks that lead notably to code bloat.
+// 2. The symbol is given an ABI tag that encodes the ODR-relevant properties of the library.
+//    This ensures that no ODR violation can arise from mixing two TUs compiled with different
+//    versions or configurations of libc++ (such as exceptions vs no-exceptions). Indeed, if the
+//    program contains two definitions of a function, the ODR requires them to be token-by-token
+//    equivalent, and the linker is allowed to pick either definition and discard the other one.
+//
+//    For example, if a program contains a copy of `vector::at()` compiled with exceptions enabled
+//    *and* a copy of `vector::at()` compiled with exceptions disabled (by means of having two TUs
+//    compiled with different settings), the two definitions are both visible by the linker and they
+//    have the same name, but they have a meaningfully different implementation (one throws an exception
+//    and the other aborts the program). This violates the ODR and makes the program ill-formed, and in
+//    practice what will happen is that the linker will pick one of the definitions at random and will
+//    discard the other one. This can quite clearly lead to incorrect program behavior.
+//
+//    A similar reasoning holds for many other properties that are ODR-affecting. Essentially any
+//    property that causes the code of a function to differ from the code in another configuration
+//    can be considered ODR-affecting. In practice, we don't encode all such properties in the ABI
+//    tag, but we encode the ones that we think are most important: library version, exceptions, and
+//    hardening mode.
+//
+//    Note that historically, solving this problem has been achieved in various ways, including
+//    force-inlining all functions or giving internal linkage to all functions. Both these previous
+//    solutions suffer from drawbacks that lead notably to code bloat.
 //
 // Note that we use _LIBCPP_EXCLUDE_FROM_EXPLICIT_INSTANTIATION to ensure that we don't depend
 // on _LIBCPP_HIDE_FROM_ABI methods of classes explicitly instantiated in the dynamic library.
