For now this will only be used for HopToMainActorIfNeeded thunks. I am creating
this now since in the past there has only been one option for creating
thunks... to create the thunk in SILGen using SILGenThunk. This code is hard to
test and there is a lot of it. By using an instruction here we get a few benefits:
1. We decouple SILGen from needing to generate new kinds of thunks. This means
that SILGenThunk does not need to expand to handle more thunks.
2. All thunks implemented via ThunkInst will be easy to test in a decoupled way
with SIL tests.
3. Even though this stabilizes the patient, we still have many thunks in SILGen
and various parts of the compiler. Over time, we can swap to this model,
allowing us to hopefully eventually delete SILGenThunk.
As the optimizer uses more and more AST stuff, it's now time to create an "AST" module.
Initially it defines following AST datastructures:
* declarations: `Decl` + derived classes
* `Conformance`
* `SubstitutionMap`
* `Type` and `CanonicalType`
Some of those were already defined in the SIL module and are now moved to the AST module.
This change also cleans up a few things:
* proper definition of `NominalTypeDecl`-related APIs in `SIL.Type`
* rename `ProtocolConformance` to `Conformance`
* use `AST.Type`/`AST.CanonicalType` instead of `BridgedASTType` in SIL and the Optimizer
When building ASTGen and SIL using the Swift 6.0 compiler the compiler emits
diagnostics about various retroactive conformances. Since Swift code in the
compiler needs to remain compatible with the Swift 5.10 compiler for now, use
module qualification syntax to suppress the warning. I've also included the
`@retroactive` attribute in a comment to document the retroactive conformance
acknowledgement more explicitly.
NFC.
* add missing APIs
* bridge the entries as values and not as pointers
* add lookup functions in `Context`
* make WitnessTable.Entry.Kind enum cases lower case
This makes ManagedBuffer available and usable in Embedded Swift, by:
- Removing an internal consistency check from ManagedBuffer that relies on metatypes.
- Making the .create() API transparent (to hoist the metatype to the callee).
- Adding a AllocRefDynamicInst simplification to convert `alloc_ref_dynamic` to `alloc_ref`, which removes a metatype use.
- Adding tests for the above.

Minor fixes
Make SILLInkage available in SIL as `SIL.Linkage`.
Also, rename the misleading Function and GlobalVariable ABI `isAvailableExternally` to `isDefinedExternally`
The main changes are:
*) Rewrite everything in swift. So far, parts of memory-behavior analysis were already implemented in swift. Now everything is done in swift and lives in `AliasAnalysis.swift`. This is a big code simplification.
*) Support many more instructions in the memory-behavior analysis - especially OSSA instructions, like `begin_borrow`, `end_borrow`, `store_borrow`, `load_borrow`. The computation of end_borrow effects is now much more precise. Also, partial_apply is now handled more precisely.
*) Simplify and reduce type-based alias analysis (TBAA). The complexity of the old TBAA comes from old days where the language and SIL didn't have strict aliasing and exclusivity rules (e.g. for inout arguments). Now TBAA is only needed for code using unsafe pointers. The new TBAA handles this - and not more. Note that TBAA for classes is already done in `AccessBase.isDistinct`.
*) Handle aliasing in `begin_access [modify]` scopes. We already supported truly immutable scopes like `begin_access [read]` or `ref_element_addr [immutable]`. For `begin_access [modify]` we know that there are no other reads or writes to the access-address within the scope.
*) Don't cache memory-behavior results. It turned out that the hit-miss rate was pretty bad (~ 1:7). The overhead of the cache lookup took as long as recomputing the memory behavior.
The result of a store_borrow can "escape" to other access bases, like a "pointer" access base.
Then a store-borrow access base is _not_ distinct from such another base.
We need to ignore such casts because otherwise the constructed walking path wouldn't contain the right `existential` field kind.
Fixes a miscompile caused by redundant load elimination.

Invalid types are not considered Escapable. This makes it difficult to make any
assumptions about nonescapable types.
Fixes rdar://132348528 (Fix LifetimeDependenceDiagnostics to handle invalid SIL types)
This corresponds to the parameter-passing convention of the Itanium C++
ABI, in which the argument is passed indirectly and possibly modified,
but not destroyed, by the callee.
@in_cxx is handled the same way as @in in callers and @in_guaranteed in
callees. OwnershipModelEliminator emits the call to destroy_addr that is
needed to destroy the argument in the caller.

It indicates that the value's lifetime continues to at least this point.
The boundary formed by all consuming uses together with these
instructions will encompass all uses of the value.
