This replaces the '[volatile]' flag. Now, class_method and
super_method are only used for vtable dispatch.
The witness_method instruction is still overloaded for use
with both ObjC protocol requirements and Swift protocol
requirements; the next step is to make it only mean the
latter, also using objc_method for ObjC protocol calls.
Pre-specializations need some special handling when it comes to the Serialized attribute. Their bodies should not be SIL serialized. Instead, only their declarations should be serialized.
And since their bodies are not serialized and cannot be imported by the client code, it is OK if pre-specializations reference non-fragile functions inside their bodies. Due to the same reason, it is fine if pre-specializations are referenced from fragile functions, even though these pre-specializations are not fragile in a usual sense.
introduce a common superclass, SILNode.
This is in preparation for allowing instructions to have multiple
results. It is also a somewhat more elegant representation for
instructions that have zero results. Instructions that are known
to have exactly one result inherit from a class, SingleValueInstruction,
that subclasses both ValueBase and SILInstruction. Some care must be
taken when working with SILNode pointers and testing for equality;
please see the comment on SILNode for more information.
A number of SIL passes needed to be updated in order to handle this
new distinction between SIL values and SIL instructions.
Note that the SIL parser is now stricter about not trying to assign
a result value from an instruction (like 'return' or 'strong_retain')
that does not produce any.
The etymology of these terms isn't about race, but "black" = "blocked"
and "white" = "allowed" isn't really a good look these days. In most
cases we weren't using these terms particularly precisely anyway, so
the rephrasing is actually an improvement.
This commit contains:
-) adding the new instructions + infrastructure, like parsing, printing, etc.
-) support in IRGen to generate global object-variables (i.e. "heap" objects) which are statically initialized in the data section.
-) IRGen for global_value which lazily initializes the object header and returns a reference to the object.
For details see the documentation of the new instructions in SIL.rst.
Remove the cast consumption kind from all unconditional casts. It
doesn't make sense for unconditional casts, complicates SIL ownership,
and wasn't fully supported for all variants. Copies should be
explicit.
Consider a class hierarchy like the following:
class Base {
func m1() {}
func m2() {}
}
class Derived : Base {
override func m2() {}
func m3() {}
}
The SIL vtable for 'Derived' now records that the entry for m1
is inherited, the entry for m2 is an override, and the entry
for m3 is a new entry:
sil_vtable Derived {
#Base.m1!1: (Base) -> () -> () : _T01a4BaseC2m1yyF [inherited]
#Base.m2!1: (Base) -> () -> () : _T01a7DerivedC2m2yyF [override]
#Derived.m3!1: (Derived) -> () -> () : _T01a7DerivedC2m3yyF
}
This additional information will allow IRGen to emit the vtable
for Derived resiliently, without referencing the symbol for
the inherited method m1() directly.
This has the same semantics as open_existential_box, but returns an object value
instead of an address.
This is used in SIL opaque values mode. Attempting to reuse open_existential_box
in this mode causes SIL type inconsistencies that are too difficult to work
around. Adding this instruction allows for consistent handling of opaque values.
The original versions of several of these currently redundant instructions will
be removed once the SIL representation stabilizes.
These instructions have the same semantics as the *ExistentialAddr instructions
but operate directly on the existential value, not its address.
This is in preparation for adding ExistentialBoxValue instructions.
The previous name would cause impossible confusion with "opaque existentials"
and "opaque existential boxes".
With the introduction of special decl names, `Identifier getName()` on
`ValueDecl` will be removed and pushed down to nominal declarations
whose name is guaranteed not to be special. Prepare for this by calling
to `DeclBaseName getBaseName()` instead where appropriate.
All we need to store is whether the SILDeclRef directly
references the declaration, or if it references a curry
thunk, and we already have an isCurried bit for that.
This generalizes a hack where re-abstraction thunks become fragile on contact
with fragile functions.
The old policy was:
- [fragile] functions always serialized
- [reabstraction_thunk] transitively referenced from fragile always serialized
The new policy is:
- [serialized] functions always serialized
- [serializable] functions transitively referenced from serialized functions
are always serialized
- Most kinds of thunks can now be [serializable], allowing them to be shared
between serialized and non-serialized code without any issues, as long as the
body of the thunk is sufficiently "simple" (doesn't reference private
symbols or performs direct access to resilient types)
Also, add a third [serializable] state for functions whose bodies we
*can* serialize, but only do so if they're referenced from another
serialized function.
This will be used for bodies synthesized for imported definitions,
such as init(rawValue:), etc, and various thunks, but for now this
change is NFC.
It turned out that a significant part of a swiftmodule’s size is contributed by function declarations and types used by them. Therefore it is important to avoid emitting any functions or function declarations that are not needed by the module.
This change introduces the following changes:
- Function declarations should be serialized only if they are referenced by something that is serialized.
- Function bodies of functions with external linkage should never be serialized.
The only exception are shared_external functions. THis is a workaround, which will be removed in the future (see explanations in SILSerializer::writeSILFunction)
The result of the later change is that functions with external linkage are not put on the SIL serialization worklist and their bodies are not scanned, thus we do not detect references to the functions which are only referenced by functions with external linkage. In particular, the bodies of shared_external functions won’t be serialized at all if they are referenced only from functions with external linkage. And declarations of external functions referenced only from functions with external linkage won’t be serialized too.
With this changes SILSerializer emits significantly fewer function declarations.
Fixes rdar://30081040
to correctly handle generalized protocol requirements.
The major missing pieces here are that the conformance search
algorithms in both the AST (type substitution) and IRGen
(witness table reference emission) need to be rewritten to
back-track requirement sources, and the AST needs to actually
represent this stuff in NormalProtocolConformances instead
of just doing ???.
The new generality isn't tested yet; I'm looking into that,
but I wanted to get the abstractions in place first.
This is the lifetime ending variant of fix_lifetime. It is a lie to the
ownership verifier that a value is being consumed along a path. Its intention is
to be used to allow for the static verification of ownership in deallocating
deinits which for compatibility with objective-c have weird ownership behavior.
See the commit merged with this commit for more information.
Once we move to a copy-on-write implementation of existential value buffers we
can no longer consume or destroy values of an opened existential unless the
buffer is uniquely owned.
Therefore we need to track the allowed operation on opened values.
Add qualifiers "mutable_access" and "immutable_access" to open_existential_addr
instructions to indicate the allowed access to the opened value.
Once we move to a copy-on-write implementation, an "open_existential_addr
mutable_access" instruction will ensure unique ownership of the value buffer.
