Introduce a flags parameter to swift_getTupleTypeMetadata(). Add a flag
stating when the "labels" parameter points into nonconstant memory, in
which case we need to make a copy of the string before adding an entry
into the concurrent map.
Now that we use nominal type descriptors for everything that we can within
protocol conformance records, eliminate the unused
"NonuniqueDirectType" case and all of the code that supports it. Leave
this value explicitly reserved for the future.
Nominal type descriptors are not always unique, so testing them via pointer
equality is not correct. Introduce an "isEqual()" operation for
nominal type descriptors that performs the appropriate equality check,
using pointer equality when possible, and falling back to string
comparisons of the mangled type name when it is not possible.
Introduce a "nonunique" flag into nominal type descriptors to describe
when they are, in fact, not unique. The only nonunique nominal type
descriptors currently come from Clang-imported types; all
Swift-defined types have unique nominal type descriptors. Use this
flag to make the aforementioned operation efficient in the "unique"
case.
Use the new isEqual() operation for protocol conformance lookup, and
make sure we're caching results based on the known-canonical nominal
type descriptor.
Use the spare bits within the type reference field to describe the kinds
of type metadata records, so that we no longer need to rely on a
separate "flags" field.
Rather than emitting unique, direct type metadata for non-foreign
types, emit a reference to the nominal type descriptor. This collapses
the set of type metadata reference kinds to 3: nominal type
descriptor, (indirect) Objective-C class object, and nonuniqued
foreign type metadata.
Now that references to Objective-C class objects are indirected
(via UniqueIndirectClass), classes with Swift type metadata can be
directly referenced (via UniqueDirectType) rather than hopping through
swift_getObjCClassMetadata().
The protocol conformance record has two bits to describe how the
witness table will be produced. There are currently three states
(direct reference to witness table, witness table accessor, and
conditional witness table accessor). Add a reserved case for the
fourth state so the Swift 5 runtime will (silently) ignore
conformances using that fourth state, when/if some future Swift
uses it.
Swift class metadata has a bit to distinguish it from non-Swift Objective-C
classes. The stable ABI will use a different bit so that stable Swift and
pre-stable Swift can be distinguished from each other.
No bits are actually changed yet. Enabling the new bit needs to wait for
other coordination such as libobjc.

- 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.
Proper evaluation of conditional conformances at runtime (e.g., as part of
dynamic casting) is too large to tackle in the Swift 4.1 timeframe. For now,
record that a conformance is conditional in the protocol conformance record,
and always return "does not conform" to such types.

This changes layout of the `TargetFunctionTypeFlags` to allocate
8 bits for flags, 8 bits for convesion and 16 bits for number of
parameters. Documentation is updated accordingly.
Switch most general endpoint to be `flags, parameters, parameterFlags, result`,
instead of opaque `void **`, more specialized ones to use follow argument scheme:
`flags, param0, [flags0], ..., paramN, [flagsN], result` and store parameter/flags
information separately in `FunctionCacheEntry::{Key, Data}` as well.

We no longer need this for anything, so remove it from metadata
altogether. This simplifies logic for emitting type metadata and
makes type metadata smaller.
We still pass the parent metadata pointer to type constructors;
removing that is a separate change.
Once generic type metadata includes arguments from all outer contexts,
we need to know how many arguments there are at each nesting depth in
order to properly reconstruct the type name from metadata.
- Always include an array of requirement descriptors in the protocol
descriptor. For now, this doesn't contain anything except a general
requirement kind and an optional default implementation, but eventually
this can be augmented with type / name metadata. This array is always
emitted as constant.
- Guarantee the value of the extent fields in a protocol descriptor and
slightly tweak their meaning.
- Move the private-data field out of line in a generic witness table
descriptor so that the main descriptor can be emitted as constant.
- Rely on IRGen's notion of the witness-table layout instead of assuming
that SILWitnessTable and SILDefaultWitnessTable match the actual
physical layout.
This version of the patch uses a hack in which we assign internal rather
than private linkage to certain symbols in order to work around a Darwin
linker bug.
This function checks if a mangled class name is going to be written into an NSArchive.
If yes, a warning should be printed and the return value should indicate that.
TODO: print the actual warning

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.
for weak semantics, that is!
94a9c512b9 made some changes to loading
weak references by adding some information in the lower bits with
respect to locking. These bits need to be masked out when performing a
load, such as when we want to get the metadata pointer for a class
instance. This normally works fine when going through the normal weak
loading functions in the runtime.
When the runtime function swift_ClassMirror_subscript gets the offset of
one of its stored properties, it immediately packages it into the the
ad-hoc existential container, known as just `Mirror` in the runtime.
However, the weak reference isn't aligned! It has bit 1 set. We weren't
loading the weak reference here as we would during normal SILGen, such
as with a weak_load instruction. Simulate that here and make the
reference strong before putting it into the Mirror container, which also
clears those lower bits.

There are still a couple of other cases to handle, namely the
unowned(safe) and unowned(unsafe) reference kinds. There may be other
places where an unaligned pointer is problematic in the runtime, which
we should audit for correctness.
