several more places to use getOrCreateHelperFunction.
This means that several of these places are now emitting
shared functions rather than private ones, which I've
verified is okay. There are some other places where
privacy is still unfortunately necessary.
I've also fixed the name of the store-extra-inhabitants
helper function to say "store" instead of "get", which
is longstanding (but harmless because it's private).

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.
When we generate code that asks for complete metadata for a fully concrete specific type that
doesn't have trivial metadata access, like `(Int, String)` or `[String: [Any]]`,
generate a cache variable that points to a mangled name, and use a common accessor function
that turns that cache variable into a pointer to the instantiated metadata. This saves a bunch
of code size, and should have minimal runtime impact, since the demangling of any string only
has to happen once.
This mostly just works, though it exposed a couple of issues:
- Mangling a type ref including objc protocols didn't cause the objc protocol record to get
instantiated. Fixed as part of this patch.
- The runtime type demangler doesn't correctly handle retroactive conformances. If there are
multiple retroactive conformances in a process at runtime, then even though the mangled string
refers to a specific conformance, the runtime still just picks one without listening to the
mangler. This is left to fix later, rdar://problem/53828345.
There is some more follow-up work that we can do to further improve the gains:
- We could improve the runtime-provided entry points, adding versions that don't require size
to be cached, and which can handle arbitrary metadata requests. This would allow for mangled
names to also be used for incomplete metadata accesses and improve code size of some generic
type accessors. However, we'd only be able to take advantage of the new entry points in
OSes that ship a new runtime.
- We could choose to always symbolic reference all type references, which would generally reduce
the size of mangled strings, as well as make runtime demangling more efficient, since it wouldn't
need to hit the runtime caches. This would however require that we be able to handle symbolic
references across files in the MetadataReader in order to avoid regressing remote mirror
functionality.
Currently ignored, but this will allow future compilers to pass down source location information for cast
failure runtime errors without backward deployment constraints.
In a previous commit, I banned in the verifier any SILValue from producing
ValueOwnershipKind::Any in preparation for this.
This change arises out of discussions in between John, Andy, and I around
ValueOwnershipKind::Trivial. The specific realization was that this ownership
kind was an unnecessary conflation of the a type system idea (triviality) with
an ownership idea (@any, an ownership kind that is compatible with any other
ownership kind at value merge points and can only create). This caused the
ownership model to have to contort to handle the non-payloaded or trivial cases
of non-trivial enums. This is unnecessary if we just eliminate the any case and
in the verifier separately verify that trivial => @any (notice that we do not
verify that @any => trivial).
NOTE: This is technically an NFC intended change since I am just replacing
Trivial with Any. That is why if you look at the tests you will see that I
actually did not need to update anything except removing some @trivial ownership
since @any ownership is represented without writing @any in the parsed sil.

These functions don't accept local variable heap memory, although the names make it sound like they work on anything. When you try, they mistakenly identify such things as ObjC objects, call through to the equivalent objc_* function, and crash confusingly. This adds Object to the name of each one to make it more clear what they accept.

This is how we originally controlled whether or not we printed out ownership
annotations when we printed SIL. Since then, I have changed (a few months ago I
believe) the ownership model eliminator to know how to eliminate these
annotations from the SIL itself. So this hack can be removed.
As an additional benefit, this will let me rename -enable-sil-ownership to
-enable-sil-ownership-verifier. This will I hope eliminate confusion around this
option in the short term while I am preparing to work on semantic sil again.

Reimplement protocol descriptors for Swift protocols as a kind of
context descriptor, dropping the Objective-C protocol compatibility
layout. The new protocol descriptors have several advantages over the
current implementation:
* They drop all of the unused fields required for layout-compatibility
with Objective-C protocols.
* They encode the full requirement signature of the protocol. This
maintains more information about the protocol itself, including
(e.g.) correctly encoding superclass requirements.
* They fit within the general scheme of context descriptors, rather than
being their own thing, which allows us to share more code with
nominal type descriptors.
* They only use relative pointers, so they’re smaller and can be placed
in read-only memory
Implements rdar://problem/38815359.
Switch one entry point in the runtime (swift_getExistentialTypeMetadata)
to use ProtocolDescriptorRef rather than a protocol descriptor. Update
IRGen to produce ProtocolDescriptorRef instances for its calls, setting
the discriminator bit appropriately.
Within the runtime, verify that all instances of ProtocolDescriptorRef have
the right layout, i.e., the discriminator bit is set for @objc protocols
but not Swift protocols.
This adds the dllstorage annotations on the tests. This first pass gets
most of the IRGen tests passing on Windows (though has dependencies on
other changes). However, this allows for the changes to be merged more
easily as we cannot regress other platforms here.
Most of the work of this patch is just propagating metadata states
throughout the system, especially local-type-data caching and
metadata-path resolution. It took a few design revisions to get both
DynamicMetadataRequest and MetadataResponse to a shape that felt
right and seemed to make everything easier.
The design is laid out pretty clearly (I hope) in the comments on
DynamicMetadataRequest and MetadataResponse, so I'm not going to
belabor it again here. Instead, I'll list out the work that's still
outstanding:
- I'm sure there are places we're asking for complete metadata where
we could be asking for something weaker.
- I need to actually test the runtime behavior to verify that it's
breaking the cycles it's supposed to, instead of just not regressing
anything else.
- I need to add something to the runtime to actually force all the
generic arguments of a generic type to be complete before reporting
completion. I think we can get away with this for now because all
existing types construct themselves completely on the first request,
but there might be a race condition there if another asks for the
type argument, gets an abstract metadata, and constructs a type with
it without ever needing it to be completed.
- Non-generic resilient types need to be switched over to an IRGen
pattern that supports initialization suspension.
- We should probably space out the MetadataStates so that there's some
space between Abstract and Complete.
- The runtime just calmly sits there, never making progress and
permanently blocking any waiting threads, if you actually form an
unresolvable metadata dependency cycle. It is possible to set up such
a thing in a way that Sema can't diagnose, and we should detect it at
runtime. I've set up some infrastructure so that it should be
straightforward to diagnose this, but I haven't actually implemented
the diagnostic yet.
- It's not clear to me that swift_checkMetadataState is really cheap
enough that it doesn't make sense to use a cache for type-fulfilled
metadata in associated type access functions. Fortunately this is not
ABI-affecting, so we can evaluate it anytime.
- Type layout really seems like a lot of code now that we sometimes
need to call swift_checkMetadataState for generic arguments. Maybe
we can have the runtime do this by marking low bits or something, so
that a TypeLayoutRef is actually either (1) a TypeLayout, (2) a known
layout-complete metadata, or (3) a metadata of unknown state. We could
do that later with a flag, but we'll need to at least future-proof by
allowing the runtime functions to return a MetadataDependency.
This includes global generic and non-generic global access
functions, protocol associated type access functions,
swift_getGenericMetadata, and generic type completion functions.
The main part of this change is that the functions now need to take
a MetadataRequest and return a MetadataResponse, which is capable
of expressing that the request can fail. The state of the returned
metadata is reported as an second, independent return value; this
allows the caller to easily check the possibility of failure without
having to mask it out from the returned metadata pointer, as well
as allowing it to be easily ignored.
Also, change metadata access functions to use swiftcc to ensure that
this return value is indeed returned in two separate registers.
Also, change protocol associated conformance access functions to use
swiftcc. This isn't really related, but for some reason it snuck in.
Since it's clearly the right thing to do, and since I really didn't
want to retroactively tease that back out from all the rest of the
test changes, I've left it in.
Also, change generic metadata access functions to either pass all
the generic arguments directly or pass them all indirectly. I don't
know how we ended up with the hybrid approach. I needed to change all
the code-generation and calls here anyway in order to pass the request
parameter, and I figured I might as well change the ABI to something
sensible.
* Remove RegisterPreservingCC. It was unused.
* Remove DefaultCC from the runtime. The distinction between C_CC and DefaultCC
was unused and inconsistently applied. Separate C_CC and DefaultCC are
still present in the compiler.
* Remove function pointer indirection from runtime functions except those
that are used by Instruments. The remaining Instruments interface is
expected to change later due to function pointer liability.
* Remove swift_rt_ wrappers. Function pointers are an ABI liability that we
don't want, and there are better ways to get nonlazy binding if we need it.
The fully custom wrappers were only needed for RegisterPreservingCC and
for optimizing the Instruments function pointers.
Conformance manglings, which are used for witness tables and related witness
thunks, mangle the generic signature of the conformance. Since conformances
also describe the conforming type, mangle the conformances's generic signature
relative to the conforming type's generic signature.
In practice, this means that we don't mangle any part of the generic signature
into a conformance mangling now, so we see a decent win: 2.3% smaller
trie and 6.4% smaller strings section in the standard library binary.
When conditional conformances land, we'll see some generic signatures
mangling again (for the additional requirements of the constrained
extension).
This handles the case where the left hand side of the cast is known
to be class-like, and the right hand side is known at compile time
to be a protocol composition type.
Note that this change results in a small optimization -- a checked
cast of a metatype known to be a class metatype to a class-constrained
existential metatype no longer has to emit an explicit check that
the source is class-constrained.
Fully dynamic casts are coming up next.
