Correct the behavior of va_arg checking in C++
Clang checks whether the type given to va_arg will automatically cause
undefined behavior, but this check was issuing false positives for
enumerations in C++. The issue turned out to be because
typesAreCompatible() in C++ checks whether the types are *the same*, so
this uses custom logic if the type compatibility check fails.
This issue was found by a user on code like:
typedef enum {
CURLINFO_NONE,
CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL,
CURLINFO_LASTONE = 60
} CURLINFO;
...
__builtin_va_arg(list, CURLINFO); // false positive warning
Given that C++ defers to C for the rules around va_arg, the behavior
should be the same in both C and C++ and not diagnose because int and
CURLINFO are "compatible enough" types for va_arg.
