Associated conformance descriptors are aliases that refer to associated
conformance requirements within a protocol descriptor’s list of
requirements. They will be used to provide protocol resilience against
the addition of new associated conformance requirements (which only makes
sense for newly-introduced, defaulted associated types).
When an associated type witness has a default, record that as part of
the protocol and emit a default associated type metadata accessor into the
default witness table. This allows a defaulted associated type to be
added to a protocol resiliently.
This is another part of rdar://problem/44167982, but it’s still very
limiting because the new associated type cannot have any conformances.
Introduce an alias that refers one element prior to the start of a
protocol descriptor’s protocol requirements. This can be subtracted from
an associated type descriptor address to determine the offset of the
associated type accessor within a corresponding witness table. The code
generation for the latter is not yet implemented.
For example:
public struct Mystruct<T> {
func testit<U>(x: T, u: U) {
typealias Myalias = AnyObject
}
}
In this case the Myalias has a generic function as context.
This patch adds SIL-level debug info support for variables whose
static type is rewritten by an optimizer transformation. When a
function is (generic-)specialized or inlined, the static types of
inlined variables my change as they are remapped into the generic
environment of the inlined call site. With this patch all inlined
SILDebugScopes that point to functions with a generic signature are
recursively rewritten to point to clones of the original function with
new unique mangled names. The new mangled names consist of the old
mangled names plus the new substituions, similar (or exactly,
respectively) to how generic specialization is handled.
On libSwiftCore.dylib (x86_64), this yields a 17% increase in unique
source vars and a ~24% increase in variables with a debug location.

The central thrust of this patch is to get these metadata initializations
off of `swift_once` and onto the metadata-request system where we can
properly detect and resolve dependencies. We do this by first introducing
runtime support for resolving metadata requests for "in-place"
initializations (committed previously) and then teaching IRGen to actually
generate code to use them (this patch).
A non-trivial amount of this patch is just renaming and refactoring some of
existing infrastructure that was being used for in-place initializations to
try to avoid unnecessary confusion.
The remaining cases that are still using `swift_once` resolution of
metadata initialization are:
- non-generic classes that can't statically fill their superclass or
have resilient internal layout
- foreign type metadata
Classes require more work because I'd like to switch at least the
resilient-superclass case over to using a pattern much more like what
we do with generic class instantiation. That is, I'd like in-place
initialization to be reserved for classes that actually don't need
relocation.
Foreign metadata should also be updated to the request/dependency scheme
before we declare ABI stability. I'm not sure why foreign metadata
would ever require a type to be resolved, but let's assume it's possible.
Fixes part of SR-7876.
For now, the accessors have been underscored as `_read` and `_modify`.
I'll prepare an evolution proposal for this feature which should allow
us to remove the underscores or, y'know, rename them to `purple` and
`lettuce`.
`_read` accessors do not make any effort yet to avoid copying the
value being yielded. I'll work on it in follow-up patches.
Opaque accesses to properties and subscripts defined with `_modify`
accessors will use an inefficient `materializeForSet` pattern that
materializes the value to a temporary instead of accessing it in-place.
That will be fixed by migrating to `modify` over `materializeForSet`,
which is next up after the `read` optimizations.
SIL ownership verification doesn't pass yet for the test cases here
because of a general fault in SILGen where borrows can outlive their
borrowed value due to being cleaned up on the general cleanup stack
when the borrowed value is cleaned up on the formal-access stack.
Michael, Andy, and I discussed various ways to fix this, but it seems
clear to me that it's not in any way specific to coroutine accesses.

When mangling a specialized use of a typealias in a protocol, we end up
with a "bound generic protocol" mangling, with the one substitution
replacing Self with some other type. Handle de-mangling and
re-mangling of such names.
Fixes rdar://problem/41549126.
Witness tables for conformances that require runtime instantiation
should not be public, because it is an error to directly reference
such a symbol from outside the module.
Use a different mangling for witness table patterns and give them
non-public linkage.
The allocation phase is guaranteed to succeed and just puts enough
of the structure together to make things work.
The completion phase does any component metadata lookups that are
necessary (for the superclass, fields, etc.) and performs layout;
it can fail and require restart.
Next up is to support this in the runtime; then we can start the
process of making metadata accessors actually allow incomplete
metadata to be fetched.
This is yet another waypoint on the path towards the final
generic-metadata design. The immediate goal is to make the
pattern a private implementation detail and to give the runtime
more visibility into the allocation and caching of generic types.
The key path pattern needs to include a reference to the external descriptor, along with hooks for lowering its type arguments and indices, if any. The runtime will need to instantiate and interpolate the external component when the key path object is instantiated.
While we're here, let's also reserve some more component header bytes for future expansion, since this is an ABI we're going to be living with for a while.
This makes resolving mangled names to nominal types in the same module more efficient, and for eventual secrecy improvements, also allows types in the same module to be referenced from mangled typerefs without encoding any source-level name information about them.
A "retroactive" protocol conformance is a conformance that is provided
by a module that is neither the module that defines the protocol nor
the module that defines the conforming type. It is possible for such
conformances to conflict at runtime, if defined in different modules
that were not both visible to the compiler at the same time.
When mangling a bound generic type, also mangle retroactive protocol
conformances that were needed to satisfy the generic requirements of
the generic type. This prevents name collisions between (e.g.) types
formed using retroactive conformances from different modules. The
impact on the size of the mangling is expected to be relatively small,
because most conformances are not retroactive.
Fixes the ABI part of rdar://problem/14375889.
This new format more efficiently represents existing information, while
more accurately encoding important information about nested generic
contexts with same-type and layout constraints that need to be evaluated
at runtime. It's also designed with an eye to forward- and
backward-compatible expansion for ABI stability with future Swift
versions.
(and 'La'...'Lj')
Use this for the synthesized structs for error enums, as described in
the previous commit, instead of reusing the "private discriminator"
feature. I left some space in the APIs for "related entity kinds" that
are longer than a single character, but I don't actually expect to use
it any time soon. It's mostly just easier to deal with StringRef than
with a bare char.
Note that this doesn't perfectly round-trip to the old mangling; I had
it treat these nodes as private discriminators with a prefixed "$"
instead. We don't depend on that for anything, though.
Support for @noescape SILFunctionTypes.
These are the underlying SIL changes necessary to implement the new
closure capture ABI.
Note: This includes a change to function name mangling that
primarily affects reabstraction thunks.
The new ABI will allow stack allocation of non-escaping closures as a
simple optimization.
The new ABI, and the stack allocation optimization, also require
closure context to be @guaranteed. That will be implemented as the
next step.
Many SIL passes pattern match partial_apply sequences. These all
needed to be fixed to handle the convert_function that SILGen now
emits. The conversion is now needed whenever a function declaration,
which has an escaping type, is passed into a @NoEscape argument.
In addition to supporting new SIL patterns, some optimizations like
inlining and SIL combine are now stronger which could perturb some
benchmark results.
These underlying SIL changes should be merged now to avoid conflicting
with other work. Minor benchmark discrepancies can be investigated as part of
the stack-allocation work.
* Add a noescape attribute to SILFunctionType.
And set this attribute correctly when lowering formal function types to SILFunctionTypes based on @escaping.
This will allow stack allocation of closures, and unblock a related ABI change.
* Flip the polarity on @noescape on SILFunctionType and clarify that
we don't default it.
* Emit withoutActuallyEscaping using a convert_function instruction.
It might be better to use a specialized instruction here, but I'll leave that up to Andy.
Andy: And I'll leave that to Arnold who is implementing SIL support for guaranteed ownership of thick function types.
* Fix SILGen and SIL Parsing.
* Fix the LoadableByAddress pass.
* Fix ClosureSpecializer.
* Fix performance inliner constant propagation.
* Fix the PartialApplyCombiner.
* Adjust SILFunctionType for thunks.
* Add mangling for @noescape/@escaping.
* Fix test cases for @noescape attribute, mangling, convert_function, etc.
* Fix exclusivity test cases.
* Fix AccessEnforcement.

* Fix ClosureSpecializer. Hande convert_function cloning.
Be conservative when combining convert_function. Most of our code doesn't know
how to deal with function type mismatches yet.
* Fix MandatoryInlining.
Be conservative with function conversion. The inliner does not yet know how to
cast arguments or convert between throwing forms.
* Fix PartialApplyCombiner.
- Allow them to use substitutions.
- Consistently use 'a' as a mangling operator.
- For generic typealiases, include the alias as context for any generic
parameters.
Typealiases don't show up in symbol names, which always refer to
canonical types, but they are mangled for debug info and for USRs
(unique identifiers used by SourceKit), so it's good to get this
right.
A protocol composition with an explicit 'AnyObject' member is
now mangled as <protocol list> 'Xl'. For subclass existentials,
I changed the mangling from <protocol list> <class> 'XE' to
<protocol list> <class> 'Xl'.
Not used for anything just yet.
