For performance annotations we need the generic specializer to trop non-generic metatype argumentrs
(which we don't do in general). For this we need a separate mangling.
Upgrade the old mangling from a list of argument types to a
list of requiremnets. For now, only same-type requirements
may actually be mangled since those are all that are available
to the surface language.
Reconstruction of existential types now consists of demangling (a list of)
base protocol(s), decoding the constraints, and converting the same-type
constraints back into a list of arguments.

This is possible because actors do not support inheritance. There
is one specific exception to that rule, which is that an actor
can inherit from `NSObject` just to support ObjC interop.
This means an actor is effectively a final class.

Restructure the `visualc` module into `vcruntime` in order to help
expose the various components (SAL, vcruntime, ucrt, corecrt, STL) for C++
modularization. Include the `stdint.h` textually to deal with
redefinition of types in clang resources and MSVC.
The layout of constant static arrays differs from non-constant static arrays.
Therefore use a different mangling to get symbol mismatches if for some reason two modules don't agree on which version a static array is.
Make the following documentation changes:
* update last tested version number and emphasize that the process
may work for later platform versions,
* update required packages to emphasize py3 instead of py2.7,
* python3 link is not strictly required to need root.
* update the suggested checkout config file to the stable branch used
in the "upstream" checkout config file, and
* mention some extra flags are now required to properly switch off
Dispatch (since without pr apple/swift-corelibs-libdispatch#559
Dispatch won't compile).
* reinforce building release by default, since the flags likely needed
for debug builds aren't provided in the command snippet.
These instructions have the following attributes:
1. copyably_to_moveonlywrapper takes in a 'T' and maps it to a '@moveOnly
T'. This is semantically used when initializing a new moveOnly binding from a
copyable value. It semantically destroys its input @owned value and returns a
brand new independent @owned @moveOnly value. It also is used to convert a
trivial copyable value with type 'Trivial' into an owned non-trivial value of
type '@moveOnly Trivial'. If one thinks of '@moveOnly' as a monad, this is how
one injects a copyable value into the move only space.
2. moveonlywrapper_to_copyable takes in a '@moveOnly T' and produces a new 'T'
value. This is a 'forwarding' instruction where at parse time, we only allow for
one to choose it to be [owned] or [guaranteed].
* moveonlywrapper_to_copyable [owned] is used to signal the end of lifetime of
the '@moveOnly' wrapper. SILGen inserts these when ever a move only value has
its ownership passed to a situation where a copyable value is needed. Since it
is consuming, we know that the no implicit copy checker will ensure that if we
need a copy for it, the program will emit a diagnostic.
* moveonlywrapper_to_copyable [guaranteed] is used to pass a @moveOnly T value
as a copyable guaranteed parameter with type 'T' to a function. In the case of
using no-implicit-copy checking this is always fine since no-implicit-copy is a
local pattern. This would be an error when performing no escape
checking. Importantly, this instruction also is where in the case of an
@moveOnly trivial type, we convert from the non-trivial representation to the
trivial representation.
Some important notes:
1. In a forthcoming commit, I am going to rebase the no implicit copy checker on
top of these instructions. By using '@moveOnly' in the type system, we can
ensure that later in the SIL pipeline, we can have optimizations easily ignore
the code.
2. Be aware of is that due to SILGen only emitting '@moveOnly T' along immediate
accesses to the variable and always converts to a copyable representation when
calling other code, we can simply eliminate from the IR all moveonly-ness from
the IR using a lowering pass (that I am going to upstream). In the evil scheme
we are accomplishing here, we perform lowering of trivial values right after
ownership lowering and before diagnostics to simplify the pipeline.
On another note, I also fixed a few things in SILParsing around getASTType() vs
getRawASTType().
Also, switch the build instructions in the doc to the much more common AArch64,
add instructions to cross-compile a standalone stdlib with a prebuilt toolchain,
and add missing Concurrency library and its dependencies to the list of Swift
libraries to copy over.
This just deletes some outdated material, but really the whole paper
needs an overhaul and some major additions to describe generic
signature minimization too.
I wrote out this whole analysis of why different existential types
might have the same logical content, and then I turned around and
immediately uniqued existential shapes purely by logical content
rather than the (generalized) formal type. Oh well. At least it's
not too late to make ABI changes like this.
We now store a reference to a mangling of the generalized formal
type directly in the shape. This type alone is sufficient to unique
the shape:
- By the nature of the generalization algorithm, every type parameter
in the generalization signature should be mentioned in the
generalized formal type in a deterministic order.
- By the nature of the generalization algorithm, every other
requirement in the generalization signature should be implied
by the positions in which generalization type parameters appear
(e.g. because the formal type is C<T> & P, where C constrains
its type parameter for well-formedness).
- The requirement signature and type expression are extracted from
the existential type.
As a result, we no longer rely on computing a unique hash at
compile time.
Storing this separately from the requirement signature potentially
allows runtimes with general shape support to work with future
extensions to existential types even if they cannot demangle the
generalized formal type.
Storing the generalized formal type also allows us to easily and
reliably extract the formal type of the existential. Otherwise,
it's quite a heroic endeavor to match requirements back up with
primary associated types. Doing so would also only allows us to
extract *some* matching formal type, not necessarily the *right*
formal type. So there's some good synergy here.
- Tests that depend on emitted interfaces should generally use flags that are typical for modules that have textual interfaces (e.g. `-enable-library-evolution`).
- If a test is intended to produce a valid `swiftinterface` then it should verify that interface. This will help prevent interface printing regressions caused by compiler changes.
- Having commonly used substitutions for tests that emit interfaces makes it easy to experiment with compiler flags that might effect interface printing.

The `__future__` we relied on is now, where the 3 specific things are
all included [since Python 3.0](https://docs.python.org/3/library/__future__.html):
* absolute_import
* print_function
* unicode_literals
* division
These import statements are no-ops and are no longer necessary.
