Looking at the code again: `IsCXXTriviallyRelocatableType(QualType Type)` is already returning false as a result of this change because it calls `IsCXXTriviallyRelocatableType(Sema &S, const CXXRecordDecl *RD)` if the base type is determined to be a record type. That function will call `CheckCXX2CRelocatableAndReplaceable` if the result is not cached. `CheckCXX2CRelocatableAndReplaceable` will use the code that I am modifying to set `CXXRecordDeclRelocationInfo::IsRelocatable` which will become the return value of  `IsCXXTriviallyRelocatableType(Sema &S, const CXXRecordDecl *RD)`. So I think this is the right place to make the change and PAuth ABI should likely move to the same place if it wants to cache the result.
