When allocating metadata for a generic class we would copy
any prefix matter from the superclass metadata, if the
superclass metadata's address point was greater than our
address point.
While we may use prefix matter for resilient metadata
in the future, I don't believe just copying bytes like
this will prove useful.
When building swift on macOS with long tests, the build would fail with
undefined references to these symbols. The undefined symbols were
expected to be present in swiftCore against which we link. However,
because the symbols are marked as internal, they would be dead stripped
before the dylib was constructed. As a result, we would end up with
undefined references to these symbols. Expose the additional internal
interfaces for now so that we can build the tests.
* [runtime] Clean up symbols in error machinery.
* [runtime] Clean up symbols in Foundation overlay.
* [runtime] Clean up symbols in collections and hashing.
* [runtime] Remove symbol controls from the Linux definition of swift_allocError.
* [tests] Add more stub functions for tests that link directly to the runtime.
This requires the witness table accessor function to gain two new parameters: a
pointer to an array of witness tables and their count. These are then passed down
to the instantiation function which reads them out of the array and writes them
into the newly-allocated witness table.
We use the count to assert that the number of conditional witness tables passed
in is what the protocol conformance expects, which is especially useful while
the feature is still experimental: it is a compiler/runtime bug if an incorrect
number is passed.
Alter the value metadata layout to use an absolute pointer for the
nominal type descriptor rather than a relative offset relative to the
complete type metadata. Although this is slightly less efficient in
terms of load times, this is more portable across different
environments. For example, PE/COFF does not provide a cross-section
relative offset relocation. Other platform ports are unable to provide
a 64-bit relative offset encoding.
Given that the value witness table reference in the value metadata is
currently an absolute pointer, this page is most likely going to be
dirtied by the loader.
StructMetadata is now two words that the parent pointer is gone.
We need to add our own storage for the generic arguments, instead
of smashing the location where the parent pointer used to be.
My previous fix was incorrect because it would set the template
size to two words (thus we no longer read past the end of the
template) but in turn we would write past the end of the
instantiated metadata.
We no longer need this for anything, so remove it from metadata
altogether. This simplifies logic for emitting type metadata and
makes type metadata smaller.
We still pass the parent metadata pointer to type constructors;
removing that is a separate change.
On architectures where the calling convention uses the same argument register as
return register this allows the argument register to be live through the calls.
We use LLVM's 'returned' attribute on the parameter to facilitate this.
We used to perform this optimization via an optimization pass. This was ripped
out some time ago around commit 955e4ed652.
By using LLVM's 'returned' attribute on swift_*retain, we get the same
optimization from the LLVM backend.
* Unify the capitalization across all user-visible error messages (fatal errors, assertion failures, precondition failures) produced by the runtime, standard library and the compiler.
* Update some more tests to the new expectations.
- Always include an array of requirement descriptors in the protocol
descriptor. For now, this doesn't contain anything except a general
requirement kind and an optional default implementation, but eventually
this can be augmented with type / name metadata. This array is always
emitted as constant.
- Guarantee the value of the extent fields in a protocol descriptor and
slightly tweak their meaning.
- Move the private-data field out of line in a generic witness table
descriptor so that the main descriptor can be emitted as constant.
- Rely on IRGen's notion of the witness-table layout instead of assuming
that SILWitnessTable and SILDefaultWitnessTable match the actual
physical layout.
This version of the patch uses a hack in which we assign internal rather
than private linkage to certain symbols in order to work around a Darwin
linker bug.
On 32bit platforms there are 7 bits reserved for the unowned retain count. This
makes overflow a likely scenario. Implement overflow into the side table.

It is safe to test pointer equality of an unowned variable, even if
the unowned variable refers to a dead object. Allowing this operation
without an unnecessary unowned abort enables some kinds of caching
schemes more cheaply than can be done with weak variables.

The compiler pre-canonicalizes protocol composition types by minimizing constraints and sorting the remaining protocols by module + name, which ought to be globally stable within a program (assuming there aren't multiple modules with the same name, in which case we'll have bigger problems…). The compiler also statically lays out existential types according to its conception of the canonical composition ordering, so the runtime's own attempts to form a stable ordering lead to layout inconsistencies between runtime and compile-time layout, leading to crashes like SR-4477.
This commit disables runtime stack trace dumping via dladdr on Darwin when
asserts are disabled.
This stack trace dumping was added as a way to improve the ability to debug the
compiler for compiler developers. This is all well and good but having such a
feature always enabled prevents us from reducing the size of the swift standard
library by eliminating the swift nlist.

Previously it was part of swiftBasic.
The demangler library does not depend on llvm (except some header-only utilities like StringRef). Putting it into its own library makes sure that no llvm stuff will be linked into clients which use the demangler library.
This change also contains other refactoring, like moving demangler code into different files. This makes it easier to remove the old demangler from the runtime library when we switch to the new symbol mangling.
Also in this commit: remove some unused API functions from the demangler Context.
fixes rdar://problem/30503344
Use the generic type lowering algorithm described in
"docs/CallingConvention.rst#physical-lowering" to map from IRGen's explosion
type to the type expected by the ABI.
Change IRGen to use the swift calling convention (swiftcc) for native swift
functions.
Use the 'swiftself' attribute on self parameters and for closures contexts.
Use the 'swifterror' parameter for swift error parameters.
Change functions in the runtime that are called as native swift functions to use
the swift calling convention.
