Noncopyable types may have user-defined code in their `deinit`s that requires
passing the type's generic parameters, so a box for a captured noncopyable type
needs to capture the generic environment even when the captured type is fixed-
layout. Fixes rdar://138958210.
This removes the "optimization" where a function type, metatype or
tuple type was split up into structural components, because it seems
that in general we need this structural type metadata again.
Similarly, this no longer tries to split up dependent concrete
conformances and instead passes the witness table in the context.
This makes the context larger potentially, but it avoids calls to
metadata access functions and swift_getWitnessTable() every time the
closure is invoked.
Previously, NecessaryBindings used a SetVector to store the
GenericRequirements that it accumulates. That was a problem for the
layout of async contexts where it is possible for the same generic
argument to be repeated. Meanwhile, that is correct for partial
application forwarders where there is a single thunk for every partial
apply and consequently the bindings can be packed in without
duplication.
Here, a SetVector is used only when the NecessaryBindings are for
partial apply forwarders. When the NecessaryBindings are instead for
async functions, a SmallVector is used.
Previously, the polymorphic arguments were being discarded. Here, that
situation is improved by pulling the polymorphic arguments out of the
explosion when having the polymorphic parameters via the
NecessaryBindings instance. In order to eanble that, an overload of
NecessaryBindings::save is added which takes an explosion and asserts
that the polymorphic parameter pulled from the explosion matches with
the polymorphic parameter in the NecessaryBindings instance.
Here, the following is implemented:
- Construction of SwiftContext struct with the fields needed for calling
functions.
- Allocating and deallocating these swift context via runtime calls
before calling async functions and after returning from them.
- Storing arguments (including bindings and the self parameter but not
including protocol fields for witness methods) and returns (both
direct and indirect).
- Calling async functions.
Additional things that still need to be done:
- protocol extension methods
- protocol witness methods
- storing yields
- partial applies
* Use in_guaranteed for let captures
With this all let values will be captured with in_guaranteed convention
by the closure. Following are the main changes :
SILGen changes:
- A new CaptureKind::Immutable is introduced, to capture let values as in_guaranteed.
- SILGen of in_guaranteed capture had to be fixed.
in_guaranteed captures as per convention are consumed by the closure. And so SILGen should not generate a destroy_addr for an in_guaranteed capture.
But LetValueInitialization can push Dealloc and Release states of the captured arg in the Cleanup stack, and there is no way to access the CleanupHandle and disable the emission of destroy_addr while emitting the captures in SILGenFunction::emitCaptures.
So we now create, temporary allocation of the in_guaranteed capture iduring SILGenFunction::emitCaptures without emitting destroy_addr for it.
SILOptimizer changes:
- Handle in_guaranteed in CopyForwarding.
- Adjust dealloc_stack of in_guaranteed capture to occur after destroy_addr for on_stack closures in ClosureLifetimeFixup.
IRGen changes :
- Since HeapLayout can be non-fixed now, make sure emitSize is used conditionally
- Don't consider ClassPointerSource kind parameter type for fulfillments while generating code for partial apply forwarder.
The TypeMetadata of ClassPointSource kind sources are not populated in HeapLayout's NecessaryBindings. If we have a generic parameter on the HeapLayout which can be fulfilled by a ClassPointerSource, its TypeMetaData will not be found while constructing the dtor function of the HeapLayout.
So it is important to skip considering sources of ClassPointerSource kind, so that TypeMetadata of a dependent generic parameters gets populated in HeapLayout's NecessaryBindings.
SubstitutionMaps are now just a trivial pointer-sized value, so
pass them by value instead.
I did have to move a couple of functors from Type.h to SubstitutionMap.h
to resolve some issues with forward declarations.
Most of the work of this patch is just propagating metadata states
throughout the system, especially local-type-data caching and
metadata-path resolution. It took a few design revisions to get both
DynamicMetadataRequest and MetadataResponse to a shape that felt
right and seemed to make everything easier.
The design is laid out pretty clearly (I hope) in the comments on
DynamicMetadataRequest and MetadataResponse, so I'm not going to
belabor it again here. Instead, I'll list out the work that's still
outstanding:
- I'm sure there are places we're asking for complete metadata where
we could be asking for something weaker.
- I need to actually test the runtime behavior to verify that it's
breaking the cycles it's supposed to, instead of just not regressing
anything else.
- I need to add something to the runtime to actually force all the
generic arguments of a generic type to be complete before reporting
completion. I think we can get away with this for now because all
existing types construct themselves completely on the first request,
but there might be a race condition there if another asks for the
type argument, gets an abstract metadata, and constructs a type with
it without ever needing it to be completed.
- Non-generic resilient types need to be switched over to an IRGen
pattern that supports initialization suspension.
- We should probably space out the MetadataStates so that there's some
space between Abstract and Complete.
- The runtime just calmly sits there, never making progress and
permanently blocking any waiting threads, if you actually form an
unresolvable metadata dependency cycle. It is possible to set up such
a thing in a way that Sema can't diagnose, and we should detect it at
runtime. I've set up some infrastructure so that it should be
straightforward to diagnose this, but I haven't actually implemented
the diagnostic yet.
- It's not clear to me that swift_checkMetadataState is really cheap
enough that it doesn't make sense to use a cache for type-fulfilled
metadata in associated type access functions. Fortunately this is not
ABI-affecting, so we can evaluate it anytime.
- Type layout really seems like a lot of code now that we sometimes
need to call swift_checkMetadataState for generic arguments. Maybe
we can have the runtime do this by marking low bits or something, so
that a TypeLayoutRef is actually either (1) a TypeLayout, (2) a known
layout-complete metadata, or (3) a metadata of unknown state. We could
do that later with a flag, but we'll need to at least future-proof by
allowing the runtime functions to return a MetadataDependency.
Now we can discern the types of values in heap boxes at runtime!
Closure reference captures are a common way of creating reference
cycles, so this provides some basic infrastructure for detecting those
someday.
A closure capture descriptor has the following:
- The number of captures.
- The number of sources of metadata reachable from the closure.
This is important for substituting generics at runtime since we
can't know precisely what will get captured until we observe a
closure.
- The number of types in the NecessaryBindings structure.
This is a holding tank in a closure for sources of metadata that
can't be gotten from the captured values themselves.
- The metadata source map, a list of pairs, for each
source of metadata for every generic argument needed to perform
substitution at runtime.
Key: The typeref for the generic parameter visible from the closure
in the Swift source.
Value: The metadata source, which describes how to crawl the heap from
the closure to get to the metadata for that generic argument.
- A list of typerefs for the captured values themselves.
Follow-up: IRGen tests for various capture scenarios, which will include
MetadataSource encoding tests.

"minimal" is defined as the set of requirements that would be
passed to a function with the type's generic signature that
takes the thick metadata of the parent type as its only argument.
OpaqueStorageTypeInfo uses iNNN types that don't always have the correct alloc size for an expected
size at the LLVM level. This needs to be fixed before my partial apply closure fixes can hold.

In order to deal with generic indirect value captures, we need to be able to bind their type metadata in the partial apply forwarder and heap object destructor to have access to the value operations for that type. NecessaryBindings gives us a way to do that and clean up our ad-hoc polymorphic argument forwarding we had before. N(intended)FC yet, aside from some harmless reordering of operations, since we also need to implement NonFixedOffsets for heap objects to be fully operational.

- A spot fix in SILGen for reabstracting the result of a downcast, which fixes checked casts to function types.
- Associate the layout information in type metadata records with the most abstract representation of the type. This is the correct thing to do in cases where we need the metadata as a tag for an opaque value--if we store a value in an Any, or pass it as an unconstrained generic parameter, we must maximally reabstract it. This fixes the value semantics of existentials containing trivial metatypes.
- To ensure that we get runtime layout of structs and enums correct when they contain reabstractable types, introduce a "metadata for layout" concept, which doesn't need to describe the canonical metadata for the type, but only needs to describe a type with equivalent layout and value semantics. This is a correctness fix that allows us to correctly lay out generic types containing dependent tuples and functions, and although we don't really take advantage of it here, it's also a potential runtime performance win down the road, because we could potentially produce direct metadata for a primitive type that's layout-equivalent with a runtime-instantiated type. To aid in type safety here, push SILType deeper into IRGen in places where we potentially care about specific representations of types.
- Finally, fix an inconsistency between the runtime and IRGen's concept of what spare bits unmanaged references and thick metatypes have.
Together, these fixes address rdar://problem/16406907, rdar://problem/17822208, rdar://problem/18189508, and likely many other related issues, and also fixes crash suite cases 012 and 024.

The motivations here are that (1) the parametric types
that actually need the 'self' argument don't necessarily
all want to do what tuples do and put the VWT relative
to the metatype at some definable offset and (2)
recovering type parameters from the metatype is much
better defined than also hopping some relationship back.
Plus this allows VWTs to be shared across instances of
generic types. Also, I'm going to need to add a VW
that takes a metatype, and consistency seems right here.
If keeping two values live is actually punishing, I
might have to reconsider this. But the VWT is at least
always recoverable from the metatype, so....
I ended up abstracting the thing that GenHeap was doing
in order to save archetypes for arrays, because I
needed it to save metatypes instead of VWTs and because
it really needed abstractin'.
