[clang] Handle templated operators with reversed arguments (#69595)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
#68999 correctly computed
conversion sequence for reversed args to a template operators. This was
a breaking change as code, previously accepted in C++17, starts to break
in C++20.

Example:
```cpp
struct P {};
template<class S> bool operator==(const P&, const S &);

struct A : public P {};
struct B : public P {};
bool check(A a, B b) { return a == b; }  // This is now ambiguous in C++20.
```

In order to minimise widespread breakages, as a clang extension, we had
previously accepted such ambiguities with a warning
(`-Wambiguous-reversed-operator`) for non-template operators. Due to the
same reasons, we extend this relaxation for template operators.

Fixes #53954

- Fix a bug in reversed argument for templated operators.
This breaks code in C++20 which was previously accepted in C++17. Eg:

.. code-block:: cpp
struct P {};
template<class S> bool operator==(const P&, const S&);
struct A : public P {};
struct B : public P {};
// This equality is now ambiguous in C++20.
bool ambiguous(A a, B b) { return a == b; }
template<class S> bool operator!=(const P&, const S&);
// Ok. Found a matching operator!=.
bool fine(A a, B b) { return a == b; }
To reduce such widespread breakages, as an extension, Clang accepts this code
with an existing warning ``-Wambiguous-reversed-operator`` warning.
Fixes `GH <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/53954>`_.
