It can be enabled with the -num-threads <n> option.
Without this option there should be NFC.
When enabled, the LLVM IR is split into multiple modules: one module for each input file.
And for each module an output file is generated. All output files must be specified with -o options:
for each input file in the command line there must be an -o <outputfile> option.
LLVM compilation is performed on each module separately.
This means that the generated code is different than with regular -wmo.
But performance and code size should be approximately the same because important inter-file
optimizations are already done at SIL level (e.g. inlining, specialization).
There is still no support in the driver for this feature.

The field type generator may end up producing recursive static references to metadata while we're generating metadata. Fixes rdar://problem/19838839.
Swift SVN r25534
We've had a rash of bugs due to inconsistencies between how IRGen and the runtime think types are laid out. Add a '-verify-type-layout' mode to the frontend that causes IRGen to emit a bunch of code that compares its static assumptions against what the runtime value witness does.
Swift SVN r24918
Per the previous commit we are no longer using this. Minor save in
simplicity and maybe a bit of compilation time as well.
In the long run IRGen probably shouldn't be pulling information from the
AST at all; the SILModule should be able to tell it what types it needs
to emit information for. But this is still an improvement for now.
No functionality change (that was the previous commit).

IRGen uses a typedef, SpareBitVector, for its principal
purpose of tracking spare bits. Other uses should not
use this typedef, and I've tried to follow that, but I
did this rewrite mostly with sed and may have missed
some fixups.
This should be almost completely NFC. There may be
some subtle changes in spare bits for witness tables
and other off-beat pointer types. I also fixed a bug
where IRGen thought that thin functions were two
pointers wide, but this wouldn't have affected anything
because we never store thin functions anyway, since
they're not a valid AST type.
This commit repplies r24305 with two fixes:
- It fixes the computation of spare bits for unusual
integer types to use the already-agreed-upon type
size instead of recomputing it. This fixes the
i386 stdlib build. Joe and I agreed that we should
also change the size to use the LLVM alloc size
instead of the next power of 2, but this patch
does not do that yet.
- It changes the spare bits in function types back
to the empty set. I'll be changing this in a
follow-up, but it needs to be tied to runtime
changes. This fixes the regression test failures.

The underlying problem is that e.g. even if a method is private but its class is public, the method can be referenced from another module - from the vtable of a derived class.
So far we handled this by setting the SILLinkage of such methods according to the visibility of the class. But this prevented dead method elimination.
Now I set the SILLinkage according to the visibility of the method. This enables dead method elimination, but it requires the following:
1) Still set the linkage in llvm so that it can be referenced from outside.
2) If the method is dead and eliminated, create a stub for it (which calls swift_reportMissingMethod).

This works by loading the protocols from a specially named symbol,
which is generated by the linker through the help of a linker script
that merges all of the protocol conformance blocks into one section
with its size at the start of it and points a global symbol at
the section.
We do all this because unlike MachO, section information does not
survive to be loaded into memory with ELF binaries. Instead,
the mappings that survive are 'segments', which contain one or
more sections. Information about how these relate to their original
sections is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain at runtime.

Just injecting a new protocol descriptor into an already-running ObjC runtime isn't a good idea, since the runtime might have already canonized the protocol somewhere else, and it won't recognize that classes conform to protocols it doesn't know about.
Swift SVN r23313
We lazily realize classes when we access their metadata now, so there's no need to force the ObjC runtime to do this greedily anymore, except for classes that the runtime statically references. For those cases, add an @objc_non_lazy_realization class attribute that will put that class reference in the nlclslist section.
Swift SVN r23105
With runtime conformance lookup, it isn't possible without more complex analysis to determine whether a witness table is needed at runtime. In particular, in whole-module mode, it looked like no protocol conformances in the test/Interpreter/protocol_lookup.swift test were used, causing all of the tests to fail in -i mode. Erik's been working on SIL-level dead witness elimination which will hopefully offset the compile time hit here.

When we emit a witness table, build a protocol conformance record for it, and emit the list of all conformance records into a "__swift1_proto" section of the data segment.

This is a type that has ownership of a reference while allowing access to the
spare bits inside the pointer, but which can also safely hold an ObjC tagged pointer
reference (with no spare bits of course). It additionally blesses one
Foundation-coordinated bit with the meaning of "has swift refcounting" in order
to get a faster short-circuit to native refcounting. It supports the following
builtin operations:
- Builtin.castToBridgeObject<T>(ref: T, bits: Builtin.Word) ->
Builtin.BridgeObject
Creates a BridgeObject that contains the bitwise-OR of the bit patterns of
"ref" and "bits". It is the user's responsibility to ensure "bits" doesn't
interfere with the reference identity of the resulting value. In other words,
it is undefined behavior unless:
castReferenceFromBridgeObject(castToBridgeObject(ref, bits)) === ref
This means "bits" must be zero if "ref" is a tagged pointer. If "ref" is a real
object pointer, "bits" must not have any non-spare bits set (unless they're
already set in the pointer value). The native discriminator bit may only be set
if the object is Swift-refcounted.
- Builtin.castReferenceFromBridgeObject<T>(bo: Builtin.BridgeObject) -> T
Extracts the reference from a BridgeObject.
- Builtin.castBitPatternFromBridgeObject(bo: Builtin.BridgeObject) -> Builtin.Word
Presents the bit pattern of a BridgeObject as a Word.
BridgeObject's bits are set up as follows on the various platforms:
i386, armv7:
No ObjC tagged pointers
Swift native refcounting flag bit: 0x0000_0001
Other available spare bits: 0x0000_0002
x86_64:
Reserved for ObjC tagged pointers: 0x8000_0000_0000_0001
Swift native refcounting flag bit: 0x0000_0000_0000_0002
Other available spare bits: 0x7F00_0000_0000_0004

Reserved for ObjC tagged pointers: 0x8000_0000_0000_0000

This is off by default and is a modified version of r21996 (reverted in r22001).
Update SILGlobalOpt to remove "once" call from addressor and set the
InitializerF for SILGlboalVariable if legal.
For calls to addressor in non-cold block, we check the addressor to find out
the globalinit_func and the associated SILGlobalVariable. If legal, we set
InitializerF of SILGlobalVariable and remove "once" call from addressor.
The current rules for legality:
1> the addressor contains a single "once" call and it calls globalinit_func.
2> the globalinit_func is called by "once" from a single location.
When we inline the addressor, the globalinit_func will be called by "once"
from multiple locations. After we remove the "once" from the addressor, the
inlined version will mistakely initialize the global variable again.
3> the globalinit_func is trivial as defined by
SILGlobalVariable::canBeStaticInitializer().
Update IRGen to generate constant initializers for global variables with static
initializers (i.e non-null InitializerF).
Joe's suggestion on having the static initializer to return the result instead
of storing it is not implemented in this commit. But we do verify that a static
initializer has a single store to the global variable. The suggestion is tracked
in rdar://18382039.
Implement rdar://16621368, rdar://18169093.

for ExtraData::Block was writing past the end of an

which was fortunately never used).
ExtraData should also disappear as a concept, but we're

This allows IRGen to complain about types it doesn't know how to lower yet, while still recovering well enough not to take the compiler down with it. This reduces the common "unimplemented enum layout" error to be a mere error instead of a compiler crash.

This memoization can be both threadsafe and extremely

exactly match the semantics we need.

Introduce the SIL instructions thick_to_objc_metatype and
objc_to_thick_metatype to convert between the 'thick' and
'Objective-C' representations of a metatype. Most of this code is
trivial support code for these conversions: printing, parsing,
(de-)serialization, etc., for which testing will come online in
subsequent patches or is incidental in other tests.
Lower Objective-C metatype values down to objc_class* at the IR level
and implement IRGen support for these SIL instructions. SIL-only test
case at the moment because SILGen never creates these instructions.
