towards optimizing generic calls to derive things from the
'this' pointer, which is actually crucial for virtual
dispatch (to get all methods to agree about how the
implicit arguments are passed). Fix a number of assorted
bugs in metadata emission. Lots of assorted enhancements.
This was proving surprisingly difficult to actually tease
apart into smaller patches.

uncurrying level, which is something I find myself passing around
quite a bit. Make sure that it can propagate getter/setter
references in the same way.
Swift SVN r2902
This is kindof a pain in a few places where the type system
doesn't propagate canonicality. Also, member initializations
are always direct-initializations and so are allowed to use
explicit constructors, which is a hole in our canonicality
tracking. But overall I like the idea of always working
with canonical types.

This requires us to potentially copy the value witness tables for
generic struct types as part of computing layout, but that's not
the end of the world (although it will rely on a future patch
to split value witnesses out from protocol witness tables).
Oh, and add a value witness for stride, changing Builtin.strideof
to use that.
Swift SVN r2829
a lot closer to successfully emitting the polymorphic-min-over-ranges
example; the main blocker right now seems to be that the witness
for a static member function is not, in fact, a static member
function at al, but a freestanding function. That's legitimate,
but it probably needs some shepherding through the witness
system.

This is much more convenient for IRGen, and gives us a reasonable representation for a static
polymorphic function on a polymorphic type.
I had to hack up irgen::emitArrayInjectionCall a bit to make the rest of this patch work; John, please
revert those bits once emitCallee is fixed.

in SpecializeExpr, so that we have complete substitution and
protocol-conformance information. On the IR generation side, pass
witness tables for all of the archetypes (again, including derived
archetypes) into generic functions, so that we have witness tables for
all of the associated types.
There are at least two major issues:
(1) This is a terribly inefficient way to pass witness tables for
associated types. The witness tables for associated types should be
accessible via the witness tables of their parent. However, we need
more information in the ASTs here, because there may be additional
witness tables that will need to be passed for requirements that are
placed on the associated type by the generic function itself.
(2) Something about my test triggers a void/non-void verification failure
in the witness build for an instance function whose abstracted form
returns an associated type archetype and whose concrete form returns
an empty struct. See the FIXME in the test.
Swift SVN r2464
by abstraction from the concrete return type.
This basically gets generic calls working totally as long
as there's no remapping required.

types. Mostly untested. As part of this, I changed the
order in which we emit erasures: now we evaluate the
operand in-place and only then write the protocols in.
This makes it slightly more likely that a generic
optimization will be able to devirtualize.
Swift SVN r2356
Mangling is still a hack, pending a better type AST. Fixed
a bug where arguments passed indirectly were not being destroyed
by the callee (when passed by value). Changed some of the protocol
signatures to use the generic opaque pointer type, making the
types a bit more self-documenting in the IR.
Swift SVN r2274
used in the very narrow case where we were converting from one
protocol type to another (super) protocol type. However, ErasureExpr
now handles this case via its null conformance entries (for the
"trivial" cases), and can cope with general existential types where
some conversions are trivial and others are not.
The IR generation side of this is basically just a hack to inline the
existing super-conversion code into the erasure code. This whole
routine will eventually need to be reworked anyway to deal with
destination types that are protocol-conformance types and with source
types that are archetypes (for generic/existential interactions).
Swift SVN r2213
There are currently two places where you can use a static function defined on a protocol:
on an object with the type of the protocol (discarding the base), and on an archetype in a generic function. The AST for the protocol object case is probably okay;
the AST for the generic case is almost certainly wrong, but that whole area isn't really stable at the moment anyway. The proposal in rdar://problem/11448251 will
add a third way: operators on protocols will be found by overload resolution. (Having static functions on protocols opens up the possibility of metaprotocols,
but I don't think I need to worry about that for the moment.)
