Douglas Gregor 355efbb2e0 Rework the Sema/AST/IRgen dance for the lambda closure type's
conversion to function pointer. Rather than having IRgen synthesize
the body of this function, we instead introduce a static member
function "__invoke" with the same signature as the lambda's
operator() in the AST. Sema then generates a body for the conversion
to function pointer which simply returns the address of __invoke. This
approach makes it easier to evaluate a call to the conversion function
as a constant, makes the linkage of the __invoke function follow the
normal rules for member functions, and may make life easier down the
road if we ever want to constexpr'ify some of lambdas.

Note that IR generation is responsible for filling in the body of
__invoke (Sema just adds a dummy body), because the body can't
generally be expressed in C++.

Eli, please review!

// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:
