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.
The SILGen testsuite consists of valid Swift code covering most language
features. We use these tests to verify that no unknown nodes are in the
file's libSyntax tree. That way we will (hopefully) catch any future
changes or additions to the language which are not implemented in
libSyntax.
There's an immediate need for this in the core libs, and we have most of the necessary pieces on hand to make it easy to implement. This is an unpolished initial implementation, with the following limitations, among others:
- It doesn't support bridging error conventions,
- It relies on ObjC interop,
- It doesn't check for symbol name collisions,
- It has an underscored name with required symbol name `@cdecl("symbol_name")`, awaiting official bikeshed painting.
