The main point of this change is to make sure that a shared function always has a body: both, in the optimizer pipeline and in the swiftmodule file.
This is important because the compiler always needs to emit code for a shared function. Shared functions cannot be referenced from outside the module.
In several corner cases we missed to maintain this invariant which resulted in unresolved-symbol linker errors.
As side-effect of this change we can drop the shared_external SIL linkage and the IsSerializable flag, which simplifies the serialization and linkage concept.
SILGen this builtin to a mandatory hop_to_executor with an actor type
operand.
e.g.
Task.detached {
Builtin.hopToActor(MainActor.shared)
await suspend()
}
Required to fix a bug in _runAsyncMain.
This patch updates the `actor class` spelling to `actor` in almost all
of the tests. There are places where I verify that we sanely handle
`actor` as an attribute though. These include:
- test/decl/class/actor/basic.swift
- test/decl/protocol/special/Actor.swift
- test/SourceKit/CursorInfo/cursor_info_concurrency.swift
- test/attr/attr_objc_async.swift
- test/ModuleInterface/actor_protocol.swift
This instructions ensures that all instructions, which need to run on the specified executor actually run on that executor.
For details see the description in SIL.rst.
