They were, already, but remove the isConstant parameter to
getAddrOfTypeMetadataPattern(), and just assert that its true for
patterns in defineTypeMetadata() instead.
Also, metadata patterns are i8*, not i8**. In fact they don't contain any
absolute pointers at all.
Should be NFC other than the LLVM type change.
The layout changes to become relative-address based. For this to be
truly immutable (at least on Darwin), things like the RO data patterns
must be moved out of the pattern header. Additionally, compress the
pattern header so that we do not include metadata about patterns that
are not needed for the type.
Value metadata patterns just include the metadata kind and VWT.
The design here is meant to accomodate non-default instantiation
patterns should that become an interesting thing to support in the
future, e.g. for v-table specialization.
This is yet another waypoint on the path towards the final
generic-metadata design. The immediate goal is to make the
pattern a private implementation detail and to give the runtime
more visibility into the allocation and caching of generic types.
Generic parameters can become sources of metadata types and
conformances. To access them the layout needs to be available to IRGen.
