From the Swift documentation:
"If you define an optional variable without providing a default value,
the variable is automatically set to nil for you."
This lets us eliminate the _getObjectiveCType() value witness, which
was working around the lack of proper type witness metadata in witness
tables. Boilerplate -= 1.
includes a number of QoI things to help people write the correct code. I will commit
the testcase for it as the next patch.
The bulk of this patch is moving the stdlib, testsuite and validation testsuite to
the new syntax. I moved a few uses of "as" patterns back to as? expressions in the
stdlib as well.
Swift SVN r27959
This changes 'if let' conditions to take general refutable patterns, instead of
taking a irrefutable pattern and implicitly matching against an optional.
Where before you might have written:
if let x = foo() {
you now need to write:
if let x? = foo() {
The upshot of this is that you can write anything in an 'if let' that you can
write in a 'case let' in a switch statement, which is pretty general.
To aid with migration, this special cases certain really common patterns like
the above (and any other irrefutable cases, like "if let (a,b) = foo()", and
tells you where to insert the ?. It also special cases type annotations like
"if let x : AnyObject = " since they are no longer allowed.
For transitional purposes, I have intentionally downgraded the most common
diagnostic into a warning instead of an error. This means that you'll get:
t.swift:26:10: warning: condition requires a refutable pattern match; did you mean to match an optional?
if let a = f() {
^
?
I think this is important to stage in, because this is a pretty significant
source breaking change and not everyone internally may want to deal with it
at the same time. I filed 20166013 to remember to upgrade this to an error.
In addition to being a nice user feature, this is a nice cleanup of the guts
of the compiler, since it eliminates the "isConditional()" bit from
PatternBindingDecl, along with the special case logic in the compiler to handle
it (which variously added and removed Optional around these things).

Most tests were using %swift or similar substitutions, which did not
include the target triple and SDK. The driver was defaulting to the
host OS. Thus, we could not run the tests when the standard library was
not built for OS X.

The _forceBridgeFromObjectiveC and _conditionallyBridgeFromObjectiveC
requirements of the _ObjectiveCBridgeable protocol previously returned
Self and Self?, respectively, where 'Self' is the value type that is
bridged. This use of returns is fairly hostile to the idea of calling
the witnesses for these requirements from the C++ part of the runtime,
leading to "interesting" tricks with OpaqueExistentialContainer that
made it hard to use these witnesses within the dynamic casting
infrastructure.
Replace the returns with inout Self? parameters, which are far easier
to deal with in the C++ part of the runtime. Despite the churn because
we're changing the _ObjectiveCBridgeable protocol, this is NFC.
Swift SVN r20934
Squash _[Conditionally]BridgedToObjectiveC into one protocol. This
change results in simpler bridging code with fewer dynamic protocol
conformance checks, and solves the nasty naming/semantics problem that
resulted from having _ConditionallyBridgedToObjectiveC refining
_BridgedToObjectiveC.
Also, rename things so they're more symmetrical and less confusing.
Swift SVN r20664
Mechanically add "Type" to the end of any protocol names that don't end
in "Type," "ible," or "able." Also, drop "Type" from the end of any
associated type names, except for those of the *LiteralConvertible
protocols.
There are obvious improvements to make in some of these names, which can
be handled with separate commits.
Fixes <rdar://problem/17165920> Protocols `Integer` etc should get
uglier names.
Swift SVN r19883
Now that we use bridgeFromObjectiveCConditional to perform conditional
bridging, make bridgeFromObjectiveC handle forced bridging. For the
latter, deferred checking is acceptable.
Almost all of <rdar://problem/17319154>.
Swift SVN r19046
There's a bit of a reshuffle of the ExplicitCastExpr subclasses:
- The existing ConditionalCheckedCastExpr expression node now represents
"as?".
- A new ForcedCheckedCastExpr node represents "as" when it is a
downcast.
- CoerceExpr represents "as" when it is a coercion.
- A new UnresolvedCheckedCastExpr node describes "as" before it has
been type-checked down to ForcedCheckedCastExpr or CoerceExpr. This
wasn't a strictly necessary change, but it helps us detangle what's
going on.
There are a few new diagnostics to help users avoid getting bitten by
as/as? mistakes:
- Custom errors when a forced downcast (as) is used as the operand
of postfix '!' or '?', with Fix-Its to remove the '!' or make the
downcast conditional (with as?), respectively.
- A warning when a forced downcast is injected into an optional,
with a suggestion to use a conditional downcast.
- A new error when the postfix '!' is used for a contextual
downcast, with a Fix-It to replace it with "as T" with the
contextual type T.
Lots of test updates, none of which felt like regressions. The new
tests are in test/expr/cast/optionals.swift.

We can't actually make the "is" check any more efficient for arrays
anyway, and re-using the checked casting code makes "is" work properly
for arrays. More of <rdar://problem/16952771>.
