* factor out common methods of AST Type/CanonicalType into a `TypeProperties` protocol.
* add more APIs to AST Type/CanoncialType.
* move `MetatypeRepresentation` from SIL.Type to AST.Type and implement it with a swift enum.
* let `Builder.createMetatype` get a CanonicalType as instance type, because the instance type must not be a lowered type.
* Collect flag in `ParamDecl::setTypeRepr()`.
* [ASTGen] Separate `BridgedParamDecl.setTypeRepr(_:)` from
`BridgedParamDecl.createParsed(_:)` aligning with C++ API. The majority
of the creations don't set the typerepr.
* Update `ParamSpecifierRequest::evaluate` to handle non-implicit
`ParamDecl` without `TypeRepr` (i.e. untyped closure parameter), instead
of `setSpecifier(::Default)` manually in Parse.
Rework TypeAttribute bridging facilities.
Eliminate the _fake_ `swift::TypeAttributes`, but just use the normal
`BridgedArrayRef` for briding the attribute list. Introduce
`BridgedTypeOrCustomAttr` tagged pointer which resembles
`swift::TypeOrCustomAttr`.
* Instead of hoisting VarDecl in the bridging functions, do it in
ASTGen.
* Introduce `Decl::forEachDeclToHoist` to handle VarDecls in
PatternBindingDecl, and EnumElementDecl in EnumCaseDecl.
* Intorduce `withBridgedSwiftClosure(closure:call:)` as a callback
mechanism between Swift and C++
* In `generate(sourceFile:)`, instead of using `generate(codeBlockItem:)`
handle `CodeBlockItemSyntax.Item` manually to handle `TLCD` wrapping
and `VarDecl` hoisting.
* Make `generate(variableDecl:)` handle TLCD correctly.
* Move `AvailabilitySpec` handling logic to AST, so they can be shared
between libParse and ASTGen
* Requestify '-define-availability' arguments parsing and parse them
with 'SwiftParser' according to the 'ParserASTGen' feature flag
* Implement 'AvailableAttr' generation in ASTGen
And move the implementation of `SIL.Type.canBeClass` to the AST Type. The SIL Type just calls the AST Type implementation.
Also rename `SIL.Type.canonicalASTType` -> `SIL.Type.astType`.
* Make ExportedSourceFile hold any Syntax as the root node
* Move `ExportedSourceFileRequest::evaluate()` to `ParseRequests.cpp`
* Pass the decl context and `GeneatedSourceFileInfo::Kind` to
`swift_ASTGen_parseSourceFile()` to customize the parsing
* Make `ExportedSourceFile` to hold an arbitrary Syntax node
* Move round-trip checking into `ExportedSourceFileRequest::evaluate()`
* Split `parseSourceFileViaASTGen` completely from C++ parsing logic
(in `ParseSourceFileRequest::evaluate()`)
* Remove 'ParserDiagnostics' experimental feature: Now that we have
ParserASTGen mode which includes the swift-syntax parser diagnostics.
Add the necessary compiler-side logic to allow
the regex parsing library to hand back a set of
features for a regex literal, which can then be
diagnosed by ExprAvailabilityWalker if the
availability context isn't sufficient. No tests
as this only adds the necessary infrastructure,
we don't yet hand back the features from the regex
parsing library.
As the optimizer uses more and more AST stuff, it's now time to create an "AST" module.
Initially it defines following AST datastructures:
* declarations: `Decl` + derived classes
* `Conformance`
* `SubstitutionMap`
* `Type` and `CanonicalType`
Some of those were already defined in the SIL module and are now moved to the AST module.
This change also cleans up a few things:
* proper definition of `NominalTypeDecl`-related APIs in `SIL.Type`
* rename `ProtocolConformance` to `Conformance`
* use `AST.Type`/`AST.CanonicalType` instead of `BridgedASTType` in SIL and the Optimizer
