The generality of the `AvailabilityContext` name made it seem like it
encapsulates more than it does. Really it just augments `VersionRange` with
additional set algebra operations that are useful for availability
computations. The `AvailabilityContext` name should be reserved for something
pulls together more than just a single version.
Typed pointers are slowly being removed. There's a lot more cleanup to
do here, since really all `IRGenModule::.*PtrTy` should just be `PtrTy`,
but this at least gets us compiling for now.
We add the `memory(argmem: readwrite)` attribute to swift_task_create,
which means that the call is only allowed to read or write "pointer
operands". LLVM is smart enough to look through obvious ptrtoint
casts, but not to look through integer selects and so on, which is what
we produce when there's an opaque optional operand that feeds into the
builtin. This was causing miscompiles under optimization when using
`@isolated(any)` function types for task creation, since we're not yet
clever enough to fold the function_extract_isolation for a known function
(and of course it's not necessarily a known function anyway).
Distributed protocol requirements don't have associated SILFunction,
let's introduce a more flexible way to define it that collects only
the information necessary for the function to become accessible.
Given the following protocol:
```
protocol Greeter : DistributedActor {
distributed func greet()
}
```
The changes make it possible to synthesize a distributed accessor
thunk for the requirement `greet` which would be dispatched to the
underlying concrete actor implementation at runtime.
Fix a bug in expandExternalSignatureTypes where it wasn't annotating a function call parameter type with sret when the result was being returned indirectly.
The bug was causing calls to ObjC methods that return their results indirectly to crash.
Additionally, fix the return type for C++ constructors computed in expandExternalSignatureTypes. Previously, the return type was always void even on targets that require constructors to return this (e.g., Apple arm64), which was causing C++ constructor thunks to be emitted needlessly.

Given a releasable value which contains a noncopyable value type with a
deinit, that values outlined release function, among other things, must
call the deinit of that noncopyable value type. In order to do that,
its type metadata must be passed to the value function if it has an
archetype.
Add a `-min-runtime-version` option that can be used to avoid problems
when building on Linux and Windows where because the runtime isn't
part of the OS, availability doesn't solve the problem of trying to
build the compiler against an older runtime.
Also add functions to IRGen to make it easy to test feature
availability using both the runtime version and the existing Darwin
availability support.

In preparation for future patches where debug info generation will need
to access the special builtin types, lazily emit them into a separate
lazily initialized vector.
When an actual instance of a distributed actor is on the local node, it is
has the capabilities of `Actor`. This isn't expressible directly in the type
system, because not all `DistributedActor`s are `Actor`s, nor is the
opposite true.
Instead, provide an API `DistributedActor.asLocalActor` that can only
be executed when the distributed actor is known to be local (because
this API is not itself `distributed`), and produces an existential
`any Actor` referencing that actor. The resulting existential value
carries with it a special witness table that adapts any type
conforming to the DistributedActor protocol into a type that conforms
to the Actor protocol. It is "as if" one had written something like this:
extension DistributedActor: Actor { }
which, of course, is not permitted in the language. Nonetheless, we
lovingly craft such a witness table:
* The "type" being extended is represented as an extension context,
rather than as a type context. This hasn't been done before, all Swift
runtimes support it uniformly.
* A special witness is provided in the Distributed library to implement
the `Actor.unownedExecutor` operation. This witness back-deploys to the
Swift version were distributed actors were introduced (5.7). On Swift
5.9 runtimes (and newer), it will use
`DistributedActor.unownedExecutor` to support custom executors.
* The conformance of `Self: DistributedActor` is represented as a
conditional requirement, which gets satisfied by the witness table
that makes the type a `DistributedActor`. This makes the special
witness work.
* The witness table is *not* visible via any of the normal runtime
lookup tables, because doing so would allow any
`DistributedActor`-conforming type to conform to `Actor`, which would
break the safety model.
* The witness table is emitted on demand in any client that needs it.
In back-deployment configurations, there may be several witness tables
for the same concrete distributed actor conforming to `Actor`.
However, this duplication can only be observed under fairly extreme
circumstances (where one is opening the returned existential and
instantiating generic types with the distributed actor type as an
`Actor`, then performing dynamic type equivalence checks), and will
not be present with a new Swift runtime.
All of these tricks together mean that we need no runtime changes, and
`asLocalActor` back-deploys as far as distributed actors, allowing it's
use in `#isolation` and the async for...in loop.
Currently only arrays can be put into a read-only data section.
"Regular" classes have dynamically initialized metadata, which needs to be stored into the isa field at runtime.
Using symbolic references instead of a text based mangling avoids the
expensive type descriptor scan when objective c protocols are requested.

- VTableSpecializer, a new pass that synthesizes a new vtable per each observed concrete type used
- Don't use full type metadata refs in embedded Swift
- Lazily emit specialized class metadata (LazySpecializedClassMetadata) in IRGen
- Don't emit regular class metadata for a class decl if it's generic (only emit the specialized metadata)
Moving the query implementation up to the AST library from SIL will allow
conveniences to be written on specific AST element classes. For instance, this
will allow `EnumDecl` to expose a convenience that enumerates element decls
that are available during lowering.
Also, improve naming and documentation for these queries.
Reformatting everything now that we have `llvm` namespaces. I've
separated this from the main commit to help manage merge-conflicts and
for making it a bit easier to read the mega-patch.
This is phase-1 of switching from llvm::Optional to std::optional in the
next rebranch. llvm::Optional was removed from upstream LLVM, so we need
to migrate off rather soon. On Darwin, std::optional, and llvm::Optional
have the same layout, so we don't need to be as concerned about ABI
beyond the name mangling. `llvm::Optional` is only returned from one
function in
```
getStandardTypeSubst(StringRef TypeName,
bool allowConcurrencyManglings);
```
It's the return value, so it should not impact the mangling of the
function, and the layout is the same as `std::optional`, so it should be
mostly okay. This function doesn't appear to have users, and the ABI was
already broken 2 years ago for concurrency and no one seemed to notice
so this should be "okay".
I'm doing the migration incrementally so that folks working on main can
cherry-pick back to the release/5.9 branch. Once 5.9 is done and locked
away, then we can go through and finish the replacement. Since `None`
and `Optional` show up in contexts where they are not `llvm::None` and
`llvm::Optional`, I'm preparing the work now by going through and
removing the namespace unwrapping and making the `llvm` namespace
explicit. This should make it fairly mechanical to go through and
replace llvm::Optional with std::optional, and llvm::None with
std::nullopt. It's also a change that can be brought onto the
release/5.9 with minimal impact. This should be an NFC change.
