This patch replaces dyn_cast&lt;&gt; with cast&lt;&gt; to resolve potential 
static analyzer bugs for

1. Dereferencing a pointer issue with nullptr GVar when calling addAttribute() 
in AIXTargetCodeGenInfo::setTargetAttributes(clang::Decl const *, 
llvm::GlobalValue *, clang::CodeGen::CodeGenModule &amp;).

2. Dereferencing a pointer issue with nullptr GG when calling 
getCorrespondingConstructor() in 
DeclareImplicitDeductionGuidesForTypeAlias(clang::Sema &amp;, 
clang::TypeAliasTemplateDecl *, clang::SourceLocation).

3. Dereferencing a pointer issue with nullptr CurrentBT when calling getKind() 
in ComplexExprEmitter::GetHigherPrecisionFPType(clang::QualType).
