This became necessary after recent function type changes that keep
substituted generic function types abstract even after substitution to
correctly handle automatic opaque result type substitution.
Instead of performing the opaque result type substitution as part of
substituting the generic args the underlying type will now be reified as
part of looking at the parameter/return types which happens as part of
the function convention apis.

`@differentiable` attribute on protocol requirements and non-final class
members now produces derivative function entries in witness tables and vtables.
This enables `witness_method` and `class_method` differentiation.
Existing type-checking rules:
- Witness declarations of `@differentiable` protocol requirements must have a
`@differentiable` attribute with the same configuration (or a configuration
with superset parameter indices).
- Witness table derivative function entries are SILGen'd for `@differentiable`
witness declarations.
- Class vtable derivative function entries are SILGen'd for non-final
`@differentiable` class members.
- These derivative entries can be overridden or inherited, just like other
vtable entries.
Resolves TF-1212.
* Use in_guaranteed for let captures
With this all let values will be captured with in_guaranteed convention
by the closure. Following are the main changes :
SILGen changes:
- A new CaptureKind::Immutable is introduced, to capture let values as in_guaranteed.
- SILGen of in_guaranteed capture had to be fixed.
in_guaranteed captures as per convention are consumed by the closure. And so SILGen should not generate a destroy_addr for an in_guaranteed capture.
But LetValueInitialization can push Dealloc and Release states of the captured arg in the Cleanup stack, and there is no way to access the CleanupHandle and disable the emission of destroy_addr while emitting the captures in SILGenFunction::emitCaptures.
So we now create, temporary allocation of the in_guaranteed capture iduring SILGenFunction::emitCaptures without emitting destroy_addr for it.
SILOptimizer changes:
- Handle in_guaranteed in CopyForwarding.
- Adjust dealloc_stack of in_guaranteed capture to occur after destroy_addr for on_stack closures in ClosureLifetimeFixup.
IRGen changes :
- Since HeapLayout can be non-fixed now, make sure emitSize is used conditionally
- Don't consider ClassPointerSource kind parameter type for fulfillments while generating code for partial apply forwarder.
The TypeMetadata of ClassPointSource kind sources are not populated in HeapLayout's NecessaryBindings. If we have a generic parameter on the HeapLayout which can be fulfilled by a ClassPointerSource, its TypeMetaData will not be found while constructing the dtor function of the HeapLayout.
So it is important to skip considering sources of ClassPointerSource kind, so that TypeMetadata of a dependent generic parameters gets populated in HeapLayout's NecessaryBindings.
In order to allow this, I've had to rework the syntax of substituted function types; what was previously spelled `<T> in () -> T for <X>` is now spelled `@substituted <T> () -> T for <X>`. I think this is a nice improvement for readability, but it did require me to churn a lot of test cases.
Distinguishing the substitutions has two chief advantages over the existing representation. First, the semantics seem quite a bit clearer at use points; the `implicit` bit was very subtle and not always obvious how to use. More importantly, it allows the expression of generic function types that must satisfy a particular generic abstraction pattern, which was otherwise impossible to express.
As an example of the latter, consider the following protocol conformance:
```
protocol P { func foo() }
struct A<T> : P { func foo() {} }
```
The lowered signature of `P.foo` is `<Self: P> (@in_guaranteed Self) -> ()`. Without this change, the lowered signature of `A.foo`'s witness would be `<T> (@in_guaranteed A<T>) -> ()`, which does not preserve information about the conformance substitution in any useful way. With this change, the lowered signature of this witness could be `<T> @substituted <Self: P> (@in_guaranteed Self) -> () for <A<T>>`, which nicely preserves the exact substitutions which relate the witness to the requirement.
When we adopt this, it will both obviate the need for the special witness-table conformance field in SILFunctionType and make it far simpler for the SILOptimizer to devirtualize witness methods. This patch does not actually take that step, however; it merely makes it possible to do so.
As another piece of unfinished business, while `SILFunctionType::substGenericArgs()` conceptually ought to simply set the given substitutions as the invocation substitutions, that would disturb a number of places that expect that method to produce an unsubstituted type. This patch only set invocation arguments when the generic type is a substituted type, which we currently never produce in type-lowering.
My plan is to start by producing substituted function types for accessors. Accessors are an important case because the coroutine continuation function is essentially an implicit component of the function type which the current substitution rules simply erase the intended abstraction of. They're also used in narrower ways that should exercise less of the optimizer.
Motivation: `GenericSignatureImpl::getCanonicalSignature` crashes for
`GenericSignature` with underlying `nullptr`. This led to verbose workarounds
when computing `CanGenericSignature` from `GenericSignature`.
Solution: `GenericSignature::getCanonicalSignature` is a wrapper around
`GenericSignatureImpl::getCanonicalSignature` that returns the canonical
signature, or `nullptr` if the underlying pointer is `nullptr`.
Rewrite all verbose workarounds using `GenericSignature::getCanonicalSignature`.
Associated type witnesses were not getting canonicalized with respect to
their appropriate generic signatures, causing types to be emitted into
the metadata that could not be properly demangled. Be consistent about
providing a generic signature for canonicalization.
Fixes SR-11642 / rdar://problem/56466693.
When Protocol P and Struct S are in a same module and S conforms to P, the protocol
witness table is emitted directly as a symbol. If we move P to a lower-level module,
the protocol witness table symbol isn't emitted, breaking users' existing executable as
a result.
This change checks whether the protocol used to be defined in the same
module and marks it as non-resilient if so. The compiler will continue
emitting witness table as symbols to maintain cross-module ABI stability.
ProtocolConformanceRef already has an invalid state. Drop all of the
uses of Optional<ProtocolConformanceRef> and just use
ProtocolConformanceRef::forInvalid() to represent it. Mechanically
translate all of the callers and callsites to use this new
representation.

This prepares SIL to be able to more accurately preserve the calling convention of
polymorphic generic interfaces by letting the type system represent "substituted function types".
We add a couple of fields to SILFunctionType to support this:
- A substitution map, accessed by `getSubstitutions()`, which maps the generic signature
of the function to its concrete implementation. This will allow, for instance, a protocol
witness for a requirement of type `<Self: P> (Self, ...) -> ...` for a concrete conforming
type `Foo` to express its type as `<Self: P> (Self, ...) -> ... for <Foo>`, preserving the relation
to the protocol interface without relying on the pile of hacks that is the `witness_method`
protocol.
- A bool for whether the generic signature of the function is "implied" by the substitutions.
If true, the generic signature isn't really part of the calling convention of the function.
This will allow closure types to distinguish a closure being passed to a generic function, like
`<T, U> in (*T, *U) -> T for <Int, String>`, from the concrete type `(*Int, *String) -> Int`,
which will make it easier for us to differentiate the representation of those as types, for
instance by giving them different pointer authentication discriminators to harden arm64e
code.
This patch is currently NFC, it just introduces the new APIs and takes a first pass at updating
code to use them. Much more work will need to be done once we start exercising these new
fields.
This does bifurcate some existing APIs:
- SILFunctionType now has two accessors to get its generic signature.
`getSubstGenericSignature` gets the generic signature that is used to apply its
substitution map, if any. `getInvocationGenericSignature` gets the generic signature
used to invoke the function at apply sites. These differ if the generic signature is
implied.
- SILParameterInfo and SILResultInfo values carry the unsubstituted types of the parameters
and results of the function. They now have two APIs to get that type. `getInterfaceType`
returns the unsubstituted type of the generic interface, and
`getArgumentType`/`getReturnValueType` produce the substituted type that is used at
apply sites.
If we're allowed to know at IRGen time what the underlying type of an opaque type is, we can
satisfy references to the opaque type's metadata or protocol witness tables by directly referencing
the underlying type instead.
When we generate code that asks for complete metadata for a fully concrete specific type that
doesn't have trivial metadata access, like `(Int, String)` or `[String: [Any]]`,
generate a cache variable that points to a mangled name, and use a common accessor function
that turns that cache variable into a pointer to the instantiated metadata. This saves a bunch
of code size, and should have minimal runtime impact, since the demangling of any string only
has to happen once.
This mostly just works, though it exposed a couple of issues:
- Mangling a type ref including objc protocols didn't cause the objc protocol record to get
instantiated. Fixed as part of this patch.
- The runtime type demangler doesn't correctly handle retroactive conformances. If there are
multiple retroactive conformances in a process at runtime, then even though the mangled string
refers to a specific conformance, the runtime still just picks one without listening to the
mangler. This is left to fix later, rdar://problem/53828345.
There is some more follow-up work that we can do to further improve the gains:
- We could improve the runtime-provided entry points, adding versions that don't require size
to be cached, and which can handle arbitrary metadata requests. This would allow for mangled
names to also be used for incomplete metadata accesses and improve code size of some generic
type accessors. However, we'd only be able to take advantage of the new entry points in
OSes that ship a new runtime.
- We could choose to always symbolic reference all type references, which would generally reduce
the size of mangled strings, as well as make runtime demangling more efficient, since it wouldn't
need to hit the runtime caches. This would however require that we be able to handle symbolic
references across files in the MetadataReader in order to avoid regressing remote mirror
functionality.
The code here was not correct in a situation where an opaque type had constraints that were
refinements of the protocol requirements of an associated type, as in:
```
protocol ParentProtocol {}
protocol SubProtocol: ParentProtocol {}
protocol P {
associatedtype A: ParentProtocol
func foo() -> A
}
struct S: P {
func foo() -> some SubProtocol
}
```
because it assumed that the conformance could be found directly on the opaque type instead of
potentially via an arbitrary MetadataPath. Falling through to the code that already correctly
handles archetype conformances right below the removed code does the right thing. Fixes
rdar://problem/53081207.
When referencing a superclass type from a subclass, for example, the
type uses the subclass's generic parameters, not the superclass's.
This can be important if a nested type constrains away some of its
parent type's generic parameters.
This doesn't solve all the problems around mis-referenced generic
parameters when some are constrained away, though. That might
require a runtime change. See the FIXME comments in the test cases.
rdar://problem/51627403
Tear out the hacks to pre-substitute opaque types before they enter the SIL type system.
Implement UnderlyingToOpaqueExpr as bitcasting the result of the underlying expression from the
underlying type to the opaque type.
