This gives big code size wins for unused types and also for types, which are never used in a generic context.
Also it reduces the amount of symbols in the symbol table.
The size wins heavily depend on the project. I have seen binary size reductions from 0 to 20% on real world projects.

This is NFC in intent, but I had to restructure the code to emit more
of the lists "inline", which means I inevitably altered some IRGen
emission patterns in ways that are visible to tests:
- GenClass emits property/ivar/whatever descriptors in a somewhat
different order.
- An ext method type list is now emitted as just an array, not a struct
containing only that array.
- Protocol descriptors are no longer emitted as packed structs.
I was sorely tempted to stop using packed structs for all the metadata
emission, but didn't really want to update that many tests in one go.
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.
Swift's readonly and readnone should not be automatically mapped to LLVM's readonly.
Swift SIL optimizer relies on @effects(readonly) to remove e.g. dead code remaining
from initializers of strings or dictionaries of variables that are not used. But
those initializers are often not really readonly in terms of LLVM IR. For
example, the Dictionary.init() is marked as @effects(readonly) in Swift, but it
does invoke reference-counting operations. As a result, it leads to miscompiles
and runtime crashes.
In the future, we may add the functionality to analyze the body of the function
and if we can prove that is really readonly, we can map it to the LLVM readonly
attribute.
I checked that removal of this mapping does not affect the performance of any of
our existing benchmarks.

Separate formal lowered types from SIL types.
The SIL type of an argument will depend on the SIL module's conventions.
The module conventions are determined by the SIL stage and LangOpts.
Almost NFC, but specialized manglings are broken incidentally as a result of
fixes to the way passes handle book-keeping of aruments. The mangler is fixed in
the subsequent commit.
Otherwise, NFC is intended, but quite possible do to rewriting the logic in many
places.
For example, if an internal type conforms to a public protocol, the witness table should get internal linkage.
Previously we only considered the visibility of the protocol.
Fragile witness tables still have to get public symbol linkage. This is now handled in IRGen (like we do it for functions).
Fixed for the difference of Cygwin with other Windows variants (MSVC,
Itanium, MinGW).
- The platform name is renamed to "cygwin" from "windows" which is used
for searching the standard libraries.
- The consideration for DLL storage class (DllExport/DllImport) is not
required for Cygwin and MinGW. There is no problem when linking in
these environment.
- Cygwin should use large memory model as default.(This may be changed
if someone ports to 32bit)
- Cygwin and MinGW should use the autolink feature in the sameway of
Linux due to the linker's limit.
and ensure that the DeclContext of the SILFunction is used when
mangling substituted archetypes found in inlined variable declarations
that have been reparented into the caller

The typedef `swift::Module` was a temporary solution that allowed
`swift::Module` to be renamed to `swift::ModuleDecl` without requiring
every single callsite to be modified.
Modify all the callsites, and get rid of the typedef.
Changes:
* Terminate all namespaces with the correct closing comment.
* Make sure argument names in comments match the corresponding parameter name.
* Remove redundant get() calls on smart pointers.
* Prefer using "override" or "final" instead of "virtual". Remove "virtual" where appropriate.
If a protocol witness table requires instantiation, the runtime
needs to call the witness table accessor when looking up the
conformance in swift_conformsToProtocol().
We had a bit of code for this already, but it wasn't fully
hooked up. Change IRGen to emit a reference to the witness table
accessor rather than the witness table itself if the witness
table needs instantiation, and add support to the runtime for
calling the accessor.
In order to perform associated type lookups for an inherited
conformance of a derived class, the reflection library needs
to know superclasses of all classes.
Previously we had no way of recovering this information
(short of some kind of reverse lookup in the metadata cache).
Oops!
To avoid causing problems with old/new compiler vs old/new
libswiftRemoteMirrors.dylib, this introduces the new record
in a backward-compatible way: we emit a fake AnyObject
conformance with a fake 'super' associated type to store
the superclass of a class.
Not yet hooked up in the reflection library itself.
The new instructions are: ref_tail_addr, tail_addr and a new attribute [ tail_elems ] for alloc_ref.
For details see docs/SIL.rst
As these new instructions are not generated so far, this is a NFC.

Ensure they get emitted at the end of the job by the dispatcher, and
also use a proper mangling and shared linkage for these symbols so
that if multiple threads emit the same descriptor it gets merged.
The new tests attempt to exercise these scenarios.

One minor revision: this lifts the proposed restriction against
overriding a non-open method with an open one. On reflection,
that was inconsistent with the existing rule permitting non-public
methods to be overridden with public ones. The restriction on
subclassing a non-open class with an open class remains, and is
in fact consistent with the existing access rule.
What I've implemented here deviates from the current proposal text
in the following ways:
- I had to introduce a FunctionArrowPrecedence to capture the parsing
of -> in expression contexts.
- I found it convenient to continue to model the assignment property
explicitly.
- The comparison and casting operators have historically been
non-associative; I have chosen to preserve that, since I don't
think this proposal intended to change it.
- This uses the precedence group names and higherThan/lowerThan
as agreed in discussion.
Add initial support for modelling DLL Storage semantics for global values. This
is needed to support the indirect addressing mechanism used on Windows.
We're now correctly checking for inheritance, adding @objc methods,
and adding @objc protocols for both CF types and objc_runtime_visible
classes (those without visible symbols). The latter is used for some
of the types in Dispatch, which has exposed some of the classes that
were considered implementation details on past OSs.
We still don't properly implement using 'as?' to check conformance to
a Swift protocol for a CF or objc_runtime_visible type, but we can do
that later.

This flag tracks whether we have a special kind of imported class
that has limitations in what you can do with it. Currently it's
used for two things: CF classes, and the magic "Protocol" class used
to represent Objective-C protocol metadata. I'm planning to add a
third to handle classes with the recently-added objc_runtime_visible
attribute, which describes an Objective-C class whose runtime symbols
are hidden (forcibly preventing categories and subclassing). This is
used for some of the types in Dispatch, which has exposed some of the
classes that were considered implementation details on past OSs.
I'm splitting the flag into an enum rather than just marking the
Dispatch classes with the existing flag because we still need to
be able to /cast/ to the Dispatch types (which you can't do with CF
types today) and because they deserve better than to be lumped in
with CF for diagnostic purposes.
Groundwork for rdar://problem/26850367, which is that Swift will
happily let you extend the new Dispatch classes but then fails to find
the symbols at link-time.
This removes an assertion that no longer serves its purpose and
relaxes the IRBuilder checks for debug info when generating code
inside the debugger.
When LLDB is JIT-compiling expressions, it will not generate a
SWIFT_ENTRY_POINT_FUNCTION (there will be one per expression)
but it will still generate the equivalent of top level code.

It is not valid LLVM IR to have a function call without a location to an
inlinable function inside a function with debug info — this makes it impossible
to construct inline information.
This patch adds an assertion and fixes up several places across IRGen where
such a situation could happen.
