These are the terms sent out in the proposal last week and described in
StoredAndComputedVariables.rst.
variable
anything declared with 'var'
member variable
a variable inside a nominal type (may be an instance variable or not)
property
another term for "member variable"
computed variable
a variable with a custom getter or setter
stored variable
a variable with backing storage; any non-computed variable
These terms pre-exist in SIL and IRGen, so I only attempted to solidify
their definitions. Other than the use of "field" for "tuple element",
none of these should be exposed to users.
field
a tuple element, or
the underlying storage for a stored variable in a struct or class
physical
describes an entity whose value can be accessed directly
logical
describes an entity whose value must be accessed through some accessor

for all AbstractFunctionDecl's. Refactor ASTDump of AbstractFunctionDecl's
to all go through the same funnel point and print it in the right place.
Swift SVN r8242
AnyFunctionRef is a universal function reference that can wrap all AST nodes
that represent functions and exposes a common interface to them. Use it in two
places in SIL where CapturingExpr was used previously.
AnyFunctionRef allows further simplifications in other places, but these will
be done separately.

and remove DeclContext base class from FuncDecl, ConstructorDecl and
DestructorDecl
This decreases the number of DeclContexts to 7 and allows us to apply
alignas(8) to DeclContext.
Swift SVN r8186
If an OpaqueValueExpr is only used in one place, mark it as such. SIL
generation will then elide the retain/release pair associated with
each reference to the opaque value, instead consuming the value at the
point of use.
Swift SVN r8072
These helper expressions will eventually be used by SILGen to help
package up the optional values. I expect that we'll eventually have
library builtins for this, so consider this a stop-gap until those
appear.
As part of this, make OpaqueValueExpr a bit more usable: it can now
persist in the AST as a placeholder, but its uses must be within AST
subtrees of some specific introduction point (similarly to how Clang's
OpaqueValueExpr works).
Swift SVN r8051
ConstructorDecl::getBody() and DestructorDecl::getBody() return 'BraceStmt *'.
After changing the AST representation for functions, FuncDecl::getBody() will
return 'BraceStmt *' and FuncDecl::getFuncExpr() will be gone.
Swift SVN r8050
MemberRefExpr now uses ConcreteDeclRef to refer to its member, which
includes the substitutions and obviates the need for
GenericMemberRefExpr.
Swift SVN r7842
The new ConcreteDeclRef class provides a possibly-speciaized reference
to a declaration, which allows DynamicMemberRefExpr to refer to both
generic and non-generic members. without having to split the AST node.
Swift SVN r7839
When performing member lookup into an existential that involves the
DynamicLookup protocol, look into all classes and protocols for that
member. References to anything found via this lookup mechanism are
returned as instances of Optional.
This introduces the basic lookup mechanics into the type
checker. There are still numerous issues to work through:
- Subscripting isn't supported yet
- There's no SILGen or IRGen support
- The ASTs probably aren't good enough for the above anyway
- References to generics will be broken
- Ambiguity resolution or non-resolution
Thanks to Jordan for the patch wiring up DynamicLookup.
Swift SVN r7689
This breaks the type-canonicalization link between a generic parameter
type and the archetype to which it maps. Generic type parameter types
are now separate entities (that can eventually be canonicalized) from
archetypes (rather than just being sugar).
Most of the front end still traffics in archetypes. As a step away
from this, allow us to type-check the generic parameter list's types
prior to wiring the generic type parameter declarations to archetypes,
using the new "dependent" member type to describe assocaited
types. The archetype builder understands dependent member types and
uses them to map down to associated types when building archetypes.
Once we have assigned archetypes, we revert the dependent identifier
types within the generic parameter list to an un-type-checked state
and do the type checking again in the presence of archetypes, so that
nothing beyond the generic-parameter-list checking code has to deal
with dependent types. We'll creep support out to other dependent types
elsewhere over time.
Swift SVN r7462
a syntax error. Usually the type parsing can just return nullptr for the
TypeRepr, but when we want to construct an AST node that should have included
that type, we should provide a non-null TypeRepr.
Swift SVN r7375
ForStmt::Cond is already a NullablePtr<>. This patch changes
ForStmt::Initializer and ForStmt::Increment to be NullablePtr. Otherwise it
looks like Cond can be null, while Initializer and Increment can not.
Swift SVN r7265
As discussed, this is an interim syntax for re-exports:
import [exported] Foundation
In the long run, we're probably going to use the same syntax as access
control for this, but that hasn't been designed yet.
Swift SVN r7050
capture analysis is gone. This functionality is subsumed by SIL passes,
which turn boxes into stack allocations.
One minor detail of this is that dealloc_ref isn't implemented yet in IRGen
(rdar://14648382) and SILGen produces it for destructors (e.g. see
test/SILGen/lifetime.swift). To unblock progress, I just removed the
llvm_unreachable in IRGen.
Swift SVN r6890
This makes it very clean to reason about which part should be used
to find a module to load, and which part should be used to filter
lookup within that module.
This breaks the old "import swift.print" syntax in favor of the new
"import func swift.print", but the new syntax is currently ignored.
Swift SVN r6849
Also, update LangRef.
Note that an explicit "import module" has been left out for now, since
it's not strictly necessary and "module" isn't a keyword yet.
Swift SVN r6786
We haven't fully updated references to union cases, and enums still are not
their own thing yet, but "oneof" is gone. Long live "union"!
Swift SVN r6783
Eventually TypeLocs coming from the Parser will contain only a TypeRepr and the TypeChecker will resolve and add the type.
Passing a TypeLoc to a diagnostic means "print as user written" (even before typechecking)
and if there is no TypeRepr (e.g. due to a TypeLoc coming from a module without location info) print the type.
Swift SVN r6280
If we see '.Foo' or '.Foo(...)' in a case, resolve it as a OneOfElementPattern with element to be determined at type-checking time. If we see 'A.B' or 'A.B(...)', try to resolve 'A.B' as a qualified reference to a OneOfElementDecl, and resolve the expression as a OneOfElementPattern referencing that decl if we find one. During type-checking, resolve the element decl for unresolved OneOfElementPatterns, then match the subpattern to the type of the element's associated data (or void if it has none).
A few cases don't yet work right that ought to:
- Qualified references to generic oneof cases with generic arguments elided, e.g. 'case Optional.None:'
- Qualified references to generic oneof cases through a module, e.g. 'case swift.Optional<Int>.None:'
Swift SVN r6278
The semantics of varargs (only for the last element) make it more appropriate as a property of the TuplePattern.
Also free the Parser from needing to construct synthetic types (ArraySlice for type of vararg element) to
accommodate the TypeChecker and move the logic to the TypeChecker. This will be more beneficial when the parser stops
creating types in general.
