the regressions that r31105 introduced in the validation tests, as well as fixing a number
of other validation tests as well.
Introduce a new UnresolvedType to the type system, and have CSDiags start to use it
as a way to get more type information out of incorrect subexpressions. UnresolvedType
generally just propagates around the type system like a type variable:
- it magically conforms to all protocols
- it CSGens as an unconstrained type variable.
- it ASTPrints as _, just like a type variable.
The major difference is that UnresolvedType can be used outside the context of a
ConstraintSystem, which is useful for CSGen since it sets up several of them to
diagnose subexpressions w.r.t. their types.
For now, our use of this is extremely limited: when a closureexpr has no contextual
type available and its parameters are invalid, we wipe them out with UnresolvedType
(instead of the previous nulltype dance) to get ambiguities later on.
We also introduce a new FreeTypeVariableBinding::UnresolvedType approach for
constraint solving (and use this only in one place in CSDiags so far, to resolve
the callee of a CallExpr) which solves a system and rewrites any leftover type
variables as UnresolvedTypes. This allows us to get more precise information out,
for example, diagnosing:
func r22162441(lines: [String]) {
lines.map { line in line.fooBar() }
}
with: value of type 'String' has no member 'fooBar'
instead of: type of expression is ambiguous without more context
This improves a number of other diagnostics as well, but is just the infrastructural
stepping stone for greater things.
