The intent for `@inline(always)` is to act as an optimization control.
The user can rely on inlining to happen or the compiler will emit an error
message.
Because function values can be dynamic (closures, protocol/class lookup)
this guarantee can only be upheld for direct function references.
In cases where the optimizer can resolve dynamic function values the
attribute shall be respected.

It derives the address of the first element of a vector, i.e. a `Builtin.FixedArray`, from the address of the vector itself.
Addresses of other vector elements can then be derived with `index_addr`.
Optionally, the dependency to the initialization of the global can be specified with a dependency token `depends_on <token>`.
This is usually a `builtin "once"` which calls the initializer for the global variable.
* `alloc_vector`: allocates an uninitialized vector of elements on the stack or in a statically initialized global
* `vector`: creates an initialized vector in a statically initialized global
This instructions marks the point where all let-fields of a class are initialized.
This is important to ensure the correctness of ``ref_element_addr [immutable]`` for let-fields,
because in the initializer of a class, its let-fields are not immutable, yet.
Codegen is the same, but `begin_dealloc_ref` consumes the operand and produces a new SSA value.
This cleanly splits the liferange to the region before and within the destructor of a class.
It is necessary for opaque values where for casts that will newly start
out as checked_cast_brs and be lowered to checked_cast_addr_brs, since
the latter has the source formal type, IRGen relies on being able to
access it, and there's no way in general to obtain the source formal
type from the source lowered type.
The `bare` attribute indicates that the object header is not used throughout the lifetime of the value.
This means, no reference counting operations are performed on the object and its metadata is not used.
The header of bare objects doesn't need to be initialized.

The old syntax was
@opened("UUID") constraintType
Where constraintType was the right hand side of a conformance requirement.
This would always create an archetype where the interface type was `Self`,
so it couldn't cope with member types of opened existential types.
Member types of opened existential types is now a thing with SE-0309, so
this lack of support prevented writing SIL test cases using this feature.
The new syntax is
@opened("UUID", constraintType) interfaceType
The interfaceType is a type parameter rooted in an implicit `Self`
generic parameter, which is understood to be the underlying type of the
existential.
Fixes rdar://problem/93771238.
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.
Introduce a new instruction `dealloc_stack_ref ` and remove the `stack` flag from `dealloc_ref`.
The `dealloc_ref [stack]` was confusing, because all it does is to mark the deallocation of the stack space for a stack promoted object.
Required for UnsafeRawPointer.withMemoryReboud(to:).
%out_token = rebind_memory %0 : $Builtin.RawPointer to %in_token
%0 must be of $Builtin.RawPointer type
%in_token represents a cached set of bound types from a prior memory state.
%out_token is an opaque $Builtin.Word representing the previously bound
types for this memory region.
This instruction's semantics are identical to ``bind_memory``, except
that the types to which memory will be bound, and the extent of the
memory region is unknown at compile time. Instead, the bound-types are
represented by a token that was produced by a prior memory binding
operation. ``%in_token`` must be the result of bind_memory or
Required for UnsafeRawPointer.withMemoryRebound(to:)
%token = bind_memory %0 : $Builtin.RawPointer, %1 : $Builtin.Word to $T
%0 must be of $Builtin.RawPointer type
%1 must be of $Builtin.Word type
%token is an opaque $Builtin.Word representing the previously bound types
for this memory region.
The ``base_addr_for_offset`` instruction creates a base address for offset calculations.
The result can be used by address projections, like ``struct_element_addr``, which themselves return the offset of the projected fields.
IR generation simply creates a null pointer for ``base_addr_for_offset``.
* a new [immutable] attribute on ref_element_addr and ref_tail_addr
* new instructions: begin_cow_mutation and end_cow_mutation
These new instructions are intended to be used for the stdlib's COW containers, e.g. Array.
They allow more aggressive optimizations, especially for Array.
SIL type lowering erases DynamicSelfType, so we generate
incorrect code when casting to DynamicSelfType. Fixing this
requires a fair amount of plumbing, but most of the
changes are mechanical.
Note that the textual SIL syntax for casts has changed
slightly; the target type is now a formal type without a '$',
not a SIL type.
Also, the unconditional_checked_cast_value and
checked_cast_value_br instructions now take the _source_
formal type as well, just like the *_addr forms they are
intended to replace.
This removes it from the AST and largely replaces it with AnyObject
at the SIL and IRGen layers. Some notes:
- Reflection still uses the notion of "unknown object" to mean an
object with unknown refcounting. There's no real reason to make
this different from AnyObject (an existential containing a
single object with unknown refcounting), but this way nothing
changes for clients of Reflection, and it's consistent with how
native objects are represented.
- The value witness table and reflection descriptor for AnyObject
use the mangling "BO" instead of "yXl".
- The demangler and remangler continue to support "BO" because it's
still in use as a type encoding, even if it's not an AST-level
Type anymore.
- Type-based alias analysis for Builtin.UnknownObject was incorrect,
so it's a good thing we weren't using it.
- Same with enum layout. (This one assumed UnknownObject never
referred to an Objective-C tagged pointer. That certainly wasn't how
we were using it!)
This flag is set by DefinitInitialization if the lifetime of the stored value is controlled dynamically.
If the flag is set, it's not (easily) possibly to statically calculate the lifetime of the stored value.
Validation of the input side of FunctionTypeRepr was previously being done in Sema because of expression folding. If we instead push the invariant that the input TypeRepr should always be a TupleTypeRepr into the AST a number of nice cleanups fall out:
- The SIL Parser no longer accepts Swift 2-style type declarations
- Parse is more cleanly able to reject invalid FunctionTypeReprs
- Clients of the AST can be assured the input type is always a TupleType so we can flush Swift 2 hacks
This flag supports promoting KeyPath access violations to an error in
Swift 4+, while building the standard library in Swift 3 mode. This is
only necessary as long as the standard library continues to build in
Swift 3 mode. Once the standard library build migrates, it can all be
ripped out.
<rdar://problem/40115738> [Exclusivity] Enforce Keypath access as an error, not a warning in 4.2.
LinkNormal mode is used by the mandatory pipeline. It only needs
to deserialize what is necessary for code generation, that is
functions with shared linkage that must be emitted into the client.
It was only used in a few tests. Those tests now use -emit-sil instead
of -emit-silgen, with some functions marked @_transparent and a few
CHECK: lines changed now that the mandatory optimizations get to run.
Add serialization layouts for rare instructions that take extra attributes. We
can continue adding bits to these layout without affecting the layout of the
vast majority of instructions.
For now these are underscored attributes, i.e. compiler internal attributes:
@_optimize(speed)
@_optimize(size)
@_optimize(none)
Those attributes override the command-line specified optimization mode for a specific function.
The @_optimize(none) attribute is equivalent to the already existing @_semantics("optimize.sil.never") attribute
