To pave the way for the new experimental feature which will operate on '@const' attribute and expand the scope of what's currently handled by '_const' without breaking compatibility, for now.
If no available type eraser type exists, do not perform type erasure. If
multiple type erasers exist, choose the least available type eraser type.
Which type eraser to choose is based on the availability of the lexical
context of the erased expression.
This attribute makes it so that a parameter of the annotated type, as well as
any type structurally containing that type as a field, becomes passed as
if `@_addressable` if the return value of the function has a dependency on
the parameter. This allows nonescapable values to take interior pointers into
such types.
The new `DECL_ATTR_FEATURE_REQUIREMENT` macro in DeclAttr.def can be used to declare that an attribute should only be available when a related language feature is enabled.
Effects:
• `#if hasAttribute(someAttr)` will return `false` unless the required feature is enabled.
• Code completion will not include the attribute unless the required feature is enabled.
• `TypeChecker::checkDeclAttributes()` diagnoses non-implicit uses of the attribute.
Add this mechanism and use it to tie @abi to the ABIAttribute feature. Also design tests for it.
This attribute will allow you to specify an alternate version of the declaration used for mangling. It will allow minor adjustments to be made to declarations so long as they’re still compatible at the calling convention level, such as refining isolation or sendability, renaming without breaking ABI, etc.
The attribute is behind the experimental feature flag `ABIAttribute`.
Introduce an attribute to allow unsafe code within the annotated
declaration without presenting an unsafe interface to users. This is,
by its nature, and unsafe construct, and is used to document where
unsafe behavior is encapsulated in safe constructs.
There is an optional message that can be used as part of an audit
trail.
When a declaration is `@unsafe`, don't emit strict safety diagnostics
for uses of unsafe entities, constructs, or types within it. This
allows one to account for all unsafe behavior in a module using strict
memory safety by marking the appropriate declarations `@unsafe`.
Enhance the strict-safety diagnostics to suggest the addition of
`@unsafe` where it is needed to suppress them, with a Fix-It. Ensure
that all such diagnostics can be suppressed via `@unsafe` so it's
possible to get to the above state.
Also includes a drive-by bug fix where we weren't diagnosing unsafe
methods overriding safe ones in some cases.
Fixes rdar://139467327.
@lifetime(target: source1, source2...) where target can be any
parameter or 'self'. We cannot have @lifetime attributes with duplicate targets.
Also, update the internal data structures. Previously LifetimeEntry stored
pairwise (target, source) dependencies. Now, LifetimeEntry will store an optional
target descriptor and an array of source descriptors.
Allow any declaration to be marked with `@unsafe`, meaning that it
involves unsafe code. This also extends to C declarations marked with
the `swift_attr("unsafe")` attribute.
Under a separate experimental flag (`DisallowUnsafe`), diagnose any
attempt to use an `@unsafe` declaration or any unsafe language feature
(such as `unowned(unsafe)`, `@unchecked Sendable`). This begins to
define a "safe" mode in Swift that prohibits memory-unsafe constructs.
The attribute declares that a struct contains "sensitive" data.
It enforces that the contents of such a struct value is zeroed out at the end of its lifetime.
In other words: the content of such a value is not observable in memory after the value's lifetime.
Also add an experimental feature `Sensitive` with which the attribute can be enabled.
Our standard conception of suppressible features assumes we should
always suppress the feature if the compiler doesn't support it.
This presumes that there's no harm in suppressing the feature, and
that's a fine assumption for features that are just adding information
or suppressing new diagnostics. Features that are semantically
relevant, maybe even ABI-breaking, are not a good fit for this,
and so instead of reprinting the decl with the feature suppressed,
we just have to hide the decl entirely. The missing middle here
is that it's sometimes useful to be able to adopt a type change
to an existing declaration, and we'd like older compilers to be
able to use the older version of the declaration. Making a type
change this way is, of course, only really acceptable for
@_alwaysEmitIntoClient declarations; but those represent quite a
few declarations that we'd like to be able to refine the types of.
Rather than trying to come up with heuristics based on
@_alwaysEmitIntoClient or other sources of information, this design
just requires the declaration to opt in with a new attribute,
@_allowFeatureSuppress. When a declaration opts in to suppression
for a conditionally-suppressible feature, the printer uses the
suppression serially-print-with-downgraded-options approach;
otherwise it uses the print-only-if-feature-is-available approach.
Instead of using dummy `_counting_KAK_*` global symbols, use
`LAST_DECL_ATTR` metaprogramming technique to determine the number of
enum values. This align with other "kind" enum e.g. `DeclKind`.
