Map the lifetime dependencies described in terms of the formal AST-level parameters
to the correct parameter(s) in the lowered SIL function type. There can be 0, 1,
or many SIL parameters per formal parameter because of tuple exploding. Also,
record which dependencies are on addressable parameters (meaning that the dependency
includes not only the value of the parameter, but its specific memory location).
@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.
Lifetime dependencies will now be represented with @lifetime attribute in the language.
dependsOn is a type modifier and was represented as a LifetimeDependentTypeRepr in the AST.
I am deleting dependsOn syntax parsing support and retaining LifetimeDependentTypeRepr support.
We may want to represent lifetime dependencies in a function type with a type attribute in the future.
If we use a decl attribute instead, then support for LifetimeDependentTypeRepr can be deleted.
The lifetimebound annotations are now imported as lifetime dependencies.
This works for basic cases but there are still some parts missing:
* Support lifeitmebound annotations on constructors
* A way to represent immortal/static lifetimes on the C++ side
We need this at least until we have 'dependsOn(self)' syntax.
When 'self' is nonescapable and the result is 'void', assume that 'self' depends
on a single nonescapable argument.
Pitch - https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/pull/2305
Changes highlights:
dependsOn(paramName) and dependsOn(scoped argName) syntax
dependsOn(paramName) -> copy lifetime dependence for all parameters/self except
when we have Escapable parameters/self, we assign scope
lifetime dependence.
Allow lifetime dependence on parameters without ownership modifier.
Always infer copy lifetime dependence except when we have
Escapable parameters/self, we infer scope lifetime dependence.
Allow lifetime dependence inference on parameters without ownership modifier.
Provide APIs needed by lifetime dependence diagnostics, namely LifetimeDependenceConvention.
Reorganize the APIs so it's easy to find related functionality which
API is responsible for which functionality.
Remove the originalFunctionConvention complexity. It is no longer
needed for lifetime dependence inference, and generally should be
avoided in SIL.
Add some placeholder FIXMEs because this not a good PR in which to
change existing functionality.
