This allows us to layout-optimize Optional<T> when T is a struct with an
extra-inhabitant-bearing field anywhere in its definition, not only at
the beginning. rdar://problem/43019427
I believe the warning is erroneous and filed a bug against clang.
GenStruct.cpp:290:19: warning: unused type alias 'super' [-Wunused-local-typedef]
rdar://40626108
Type of elements contained by field offsets vector can be adjusted
to 32-bit integers (from being pointer sized) to safe space in the
binary since segment size is limited to 4 GB.

Clang allows C structs to have zero-sized array fields for things like trailing buffers. Lower these correctly into Swift types in IRGen so that Swift codegen knows to treat them as empty types. Fixes rdar://problem/31042794.
If a type has the same layout as one of the basic integer types, or has a single refcounted pointer representation, we can use prefab value witness tables from the runtime instead of instantiating new ones. This saves quite a bit of code size, particularly in the Apple SDK overlays, where there are lots of swift_newtype wrappers and option set structs.
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.
- Create the value witness table as a separate global object instead
of concatenating it to the metadata pattern.
- Always pass the metadata to the runtime and let the runtime handle
instantiating or modifying the value witness table.
- Pass the right layout algorithm version to the runtime; currently
this is always "Swift 5".
- Create a runtime function to instantiate single-case enums.
Among other things, this makes the copying of the VWT, and any
modifications of it, explicit and in the runtime, which is more
future-proof.
The emitInitializeFieldOffsetVector() function used for
class metadata is now almost identical to the logic used
for structs. Refactor the code used for classes and also
use it to layout structs.
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 attribute is used in the simd overlay. To ensure we can layout
SIMD types correctly, emit a fixed type descriptor instead of a
field type descriptor for these types.
Previously there was a mismatch between SIL's concept of a
struct (padding is implicit) and LLVM's (padding is explicit) in IRGen's
constant evaluator. The explicit padding fields need to be given a value
in the IR.
This patch also moves the (currently small) list of constant evaluation
functions into their own file.
Fixes SR-716.
This allows us to freely pass the address of a variable of such
types to a C function without worrying about it overwriting other
things if e.g. it memcpy's sizeof(T) bytes and thus clobbers the
otherwise-non-existent tail padding.
There are ways to get this optimization back, but they require
things like materializing to a temporary instead of passing the
address directly. We haven't done that work yet, so we don't
get to take advantage of it.

Instead of hooking into nominal type and extension emission
and walking all conformances of those declarations, let's
just directly hook into the logic for emitting conformances.
This fixes an issue where we would apparently emit duplicate
conformances, as well as unnecessary conformances that are
defined elsewhere.
Rather than collection nominal type and extension decls and emit
reflection metadata records in one go, we can emit them as they
are encountered and instead collection builtin types referenced
by those at the end.
specialization to be separately lowered in IRGen, use the mangling
of the specialized type as the name of the llvm::StructType instead
of the base, unspecialized type.
This tends to produce fewer collisions between IR type names.
LLVM does unique the names on its own, so that's not strictly
necessary, but it's still a good idea because it makes the test
output more reliable and somewhat easier to read (modulo the
impact of bigger type names). Collisions will still occur if
the type is specialized at an archetype, since in this case we
will fall back on the unspecialized type.
- Implement emission of type references for nominal type field
reflection, using a small custom encoder resulting in packed
structs, not strings. This will let us embed 7-bit encoded
32-bit relative offsets directly in the structure (not yet
hooked in).
- Use the AST Mangler for encoding type references
Archetypes and internal references were complicating this before, so we
can take the opportunity to reuse this machinery and avoid unique code
and new ABI.
Next up: Tests for reading the reflection sections and converting the
demangle tree into a tree of type references.
Todo: For concrete types, serialize the types for associated types of
their conformances to bootstrap the typeref substitution process.

In a few places, we have to be careful about the distinction between
"empty in this resilience domain" versus "empty in all resilience
domains". Make callers think about this by adding a parameter instead
of relying on them to check isFixedSize() as necessary first.
While making this change I noticed that the code for checking if
types are empty when computing extra inhabitants of structs and enums
might be slightly wrong in the face of resilience; I will revisit
this later.
This should cover most temporary buffers, except for those used by indirected value arguments, which need some cooperation with CallEmission to properly mark lifetime end after the call's completed.
For example, if a @_fixed_layout struct A contains a resilient struct B
from the same module M, then inside M, A can have a fixed size, but
outside, A has a dynamic size because B is opaque. In this case, A is
not "universally fixed-size". This impacts multi-payload enums, because
if A is placed inside a multi-payload enum E which is lowered inside X,
we would get a fixed layout with spare bits, but lowering E outside of
X would yield a dynamic layout. This is incorrect.
Fix this by plumbing through a new predicate IsAlwaysFixedSize, which
is similar to IsPOD and IsBitwiseTakable, where a compound type inherits
the property if all leaf types exhibit it, and only use spare bits if
the original and substituted types have this property.
If a struct has fixed layout but contains fields which are opaque,
or if the struct itself is opaque, use a metadata accessor function
instead of loading the metadata directly.
Let's say that A and B are two structs defined in the same module,
and B has a fixed size. This patch adds support for these two cases:
1) Fixed-layout struct A contains resilient struct B
2) Resilient struct A contains resilient struct B
In case 1),
a) Inside X: A is fixed-size and has constant metadata
i) Direct metadata access can be performed on A and B
ii) Direct field access can be performed on A and B
d) Outside X: B has an opaque layout
i) Metadata accessor must be called for A and B
ii) Fields of A do not have constant offsets, instead the offsets
must be loaded from type metadata
Case 2) is the same as above except ii) does not apply, since fields
of resilient structs are manipulated via accessors.
Eventually, we will use metadata accessor functions for all public
struct and enum types.
