// The second value provided to the macro specifies the type of the function
// (result value, then each argument) as follows:
//  v -> void
//  b -> boolean
//  c -> char
//  s -> short
//  i -> int
//  h -> half (__fp16, OpenCL)
//  x -> half (_Float16)
//  y -> half (__bf16)
//  f -> float
//  d -> double
//  z -> size_t
//  w -> wchar_t
//  F -> constant CFString
//  G -> id
//  H -> SEL
//  M -> struct objc_super
//  a -> __builtin_va_list
//  A -> "reference" to __builtin_va_list
//  V -> Vector, followed by the number of elements and the base type.
//  q -> Scalable vector, followed by the number of elements and the base type.
//  Q -> target builtin type, followed by a character to distinguish the builtin type
//    Qa -> AArch64 svcount_t builtin type.
//    Qb -> AMDGPU __amdgpu_buffer_rsrc_t builtin type.
//  E -> ext_vector, followed by the number of elements and the base type.
//  X -> _Complex, followed by the base type.
//  Y -> ptrdiff_t
//  P -> FILE
//  J -> jmp_buf
//  SJ -> sigjmp_buf
//  K -> ucontext_t
//  p -> pid_t
//  . -> "...".  This may only occur at the end of the function list.
//
// Types may be prefixed with the following modifiers:
//  L   -> long (e.g. Li for 'long int', Ld for 'long double')
//  LL  -> long long (e.g. LLi for 'long long int', LLd for __float128)
//  LLL -> __int128_t (e.g. LLLi)
//  Z   -> int32_t (require a native 32-bit integer type on the target)
//  W   -> int64_t (require a native 64-bit integer type on the target)
//  N   -> 'int' size if target is LP64, 'L' otherwise.
//  O   -> long for OpenCL targets, long long otherwise.
//  S   -> signed
//  U   -> unsigned
//  I   -> Required to constant fold to an integer constant expression.
//
// Types may be postfixed with the following modifiers:
// * -> pointer (optionally followed by an address space number, if no address
//               space is specified than any address space will be accepted)
// & -> reference (optionally followed by an address space number)
// C -> const
// D -> volatile
// R -> restrict

// The third value provided to the macro specifies information about attributes
// of the function.  These must be kept in sync with the predicates in the
// Builtin::Context class.  Currently we have:
//  n -> nothrow
//  r -> noreturn
//  U -> pure
//  c -> const
//  t -> signature is meaningless, use custom typechecking
//  T -> type is not important to semantic analysis and codegen; recognize as
//       builtin even if type doesn't match signature, and don't warn if we
//       can't be sure the type is right
//  F -> this is a libc/libm function with a '__builtin_' prefix added.
//  f -> this is a libc/libm function without a '__builtin_' prefix, or with
//       'z', a C++ standard library function in namespace std::. This builtin
//       is disableable by '-fno-builtin-foo' / '-fno-builtin-std-foo'.
//  h -> this function requires a specific header or an explicit declaration.
//  i -> this is a runtime library implemented function without the
//       '__builtin_' prefix. It will be implemented in compiler-rt or libgcc.
//  p:N: -> this is a printf-like function whose Nth argument is the format
//          string.
//  P:N: -> similar to the p:N: attribute, but the function is like vprintf
//          in that it accepts its arguments as a va_list rather than
//          through an ellipsis
//  s:N: -> this is a scanf-like function whose Nth argument is the format
//          string.
//  S:N: -> similar to the s:N: attribute, but the function is like vscanf
//          in that it accepts its arguments as a va_list rather than
//          through an ellipsis
//  e -> const, but only when -fno-math-errno and FP exceptions are ignored
//  g -> const when FP exceptions are ignored
//  j -> returns_twice (like setjmp)
//  u -> arguments are not evaluated for their side-effects
//  V:N: -> requires vectors of at least N bits to be legal
//  C<N,M_0,...,M_k> -> callback behavior: argument N is called with argument
//                      M_0, ..., M_k as payload
//  z -> this is a function in (possibly-versioned) namespace std
//  E -> this function can be constant evaluated by Clang frontend
//  G -> this is a C++20 consteval function
