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.
Added an AST helper in Types.h:
- isPotentiallyAnyObject()
This formalizes logic for when cast operations forward
ownership. Various OSSA optimization rely on this for
correctness. This fixes latent bugs throughout the optimizer.
I was compelled to fix this now because we want to make OSSA
optimizations across dynamic casts more aggressive. For example, we
want to optimize retain/release across enum formation.
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.
In a bunch of use-cases we use stripSinglePredecessorArgs to eliminate this
case. There is no reason to assume that this is being done in the caller of
RCIdentity. Lets make sure that we handle this case here.

This allows for the RCIdentityAnalysis to be tested independent of other
passes.
Also add some initial tests for RCIdentity. I am stepping through "strip by
strip" but I did not have time to finish the coverage.
