* Reduce array abstraction on apple platforms dealing with literals
Part of the ongoing quest to reduce swift array literal abstraction
penalties: make the SIL optimizer able to eliminate bridging overhead
when dealing with array literals.
Introduce a new classify_bridge_object SIL instruction to handle the
logic of extracting platform specific bits from a Builtin.BridgeObject
value that indicate whether it contains a ObjC tagged pointer object,
or a normal ObjC object. This allows the SIL optimizer to eliminate
these, which allows constant folding a ton of code. On the example
added to test/SILOptimizer/static_arrays.swift, this results in 4x
less SIL code, and also leads to a lot more commonality between linux
and apple platform codegen when passing an array literal.
This also introduces a couple of SIL combines for patterns that occur
in the array literal passing case.
These will be used for unit-testing the Type::join functionality in the
type checker. The result of the join is replaced during constraint
generation with the actual type.
There is currently no checking for whether the arguments can be used to
statically compute the value, so bad things will likely happen if
e.g. they are type variables. Once more of the basic functionality of
Type::join is working I'll make this a bit more bullet-proof in that
regard.
They include:
// Compute the join of T and U and return the metatype of that type.
Builtin.type_join<T, U, V>(_: T.Type, _: U.Type) -> V.Type
// Compute the join of &T and U and return the metatype of that type.
Builtin.type_join_inout<T, U, V>(_: inout T, _: U.Type) -> V.Type
// Compute the join of T.Type and U.Type and return that type.
Builtin.type_join_meta<T, U, V>(_: T.Type, _: U.Type) -> V.Type
I've added a couple simple tests to start off, based on what currently
works (aka doesn't cause an assert, crash, etc.).
This is already an RValue invariant that used to be enforced upon RValue
construction. We put in a hack to work around a bug where that was not occuring
and changed RValue constructors to instead load stored objects when they needed
to. But the problem is that since then we have added more constructors that
provide other manners to create such an invalid RValue.
I added verification to many parts of RValue and exposed an additional verify
method that we can invoke at the end of emitRValue() eventually to verify our
invariants. This will give me the comfort to make that assumption in other parts
of SILGen without worry.
I also performed a small amount of cleanup of RValue construction.

SILBuilder now tracks data dependencies between instructions
that open existentials and uses of the opened type, so
SILGen's mechanism for this is no longer needed.
In particular, this simplifies ArchetypeCalleeBuilder.
With the introduction of special decl names, `Identifier getName()` on
`ValueDecl` will be removed and pushed down to nominal declarations
whose name is guaranteed not to be special. Prepare for this by calling
to `DeclBaseName getBaseName()` instead where appropriate.
Previously often times when casting a value, we would just pass along the
cleanup of the uncasted value. With semantic SIL this is no longer correct since
the cleanup now needs to be on the cast result.
This caused problems for certain usages of Builtin.castToNativeObject(...) by
the stdlib. Specifically, the stdlib was using this on AnyObject values that
were not necessarily native. Since we were recreating the cleanup on the native
value, a swift native release was being used =><=.
In this commit I solve this problem by:
1. Adding an assert in Builtin.castToNativeObject(...) that ensures that any value
passed to Builtin.castToNativeObject() is known conservatively to use swift
native reference counting.
2. I changed all uses where we do not have a precondition of a native ref
counting type to use Builtin.castToUnknownObject(...).
3. I added a new Builtin called Builtin.unsafeCastToNativeObject(...) that does
not have the compile time check. I used this to rewrite callsites in the stdlib
where we know via preconditions that an AnyObject will dynamically always be
native.

...and IRGen it into a call to __tsan_write1 in compiler-rt. This is
preparatory work for a later patch that will add an experimental
option to treat Swift inout accesses as TSan writes.
There are many cases where getBufferForExpr and manageBufferForExpr occur right
next to each other. The closure based API expresses this pattern in a more
convenient manner where the user can express his/her intent with one action
instead of two. In these cases, the split is messy and not necessary.
This is actually a NFC change since we forward the cleanup in most cases and the
forwarding behavior is tested already by SILGen. But what this /does/ do is
prevent us from creating a ManagedValue that is "owned" but does not have a
cleanup.

SubstitutionList is going to be a more compact representation of
a SubstitutionMap, suitable for inline allocation inside another
object.
For now, it's just a typedef for ArrayRef<Substitution>.
The RValue(ArrayRef<ManagedValue>, CanType) constructor was intended as a semi-private interface for building an RValue from a pre-exploded array of elements, but was (understandably) widely being misused as a general ManagedValue-to-RValue constructor, causing crashes when working with tuples in various contexts where RValue's methods expected them to be exploded. Make the constructor private and update most improper uses of it to use the exploding RValue constructor, or to use a new `RValue::withPreExplodedElements` static method that more explicitly communicates the intent of the constructor. Fixes rdar://problem/29500731.
Keep in mind that these are approximations that will not impact correctness
since in all cases I ensured that the SIL will be the same after the
OwnershipModelEliminator has run. The cases that I was unsure of I commented
with SEMANTIC ARC TODO. Once we have the verifier any confusion that may have
occurred here will be dealt with.

I am removing these usages of this API since it conflicts with SILGen's want to
hold onto copy_value return values for ownership propagation purposes. If any of
the copy_value are folded, the reference that SILGen holds onto will be
invalid.

Today, loads and stores are treated as having @unowned(unsafe) ownership
semantics. This leaves the user to specify ownership changes on the loaded or
stored value independently of the load/store by inserting ARC operations. With
the change to Semantic SIL, this will no longer be true. Instead loads, stores
have ownership semantics that one must reason about such as copy, take, and
trivial.
This change moves us closer to that world by eliminating the default
OwnershipQualification argument from create{Load,Store}. This means that the
compiler developer cannot ignore reasoning about the ownership semantics of the
memory operation that they are creating.
Operationally, this is a NFC change since I have just gone through the compiler
and updated all places where we create loads, stores to pass in the former
default argument ({Load,Store}OwnershipQualifier::Unqualified), to
SILBuilder::create{Load,Store}(...). For now, one can just do that in situations
where one needs to create loads/stores, but over time, I am going to tighten the
semantics up via the verifier.

It's the same thing as for alloc_ref: the optional [tail_elems ...] attribute specify the tail elements to allocate.
For details see docs/SIL.rst
This feature is needed so that we can allocate a MangedBuffer with alloc_ref_dynamic.
The ManagedBuffer.create() function uses the dynamic self type to create the buffer instance.
Those builtins are: allocWithTailElems_<n>, getTailAddr and projectTailElems
Also rename the "gep" builtin, which indexes raw bytes, to "gepRaw" and add a new "gep" builtin to index in a typed array.

Strict aliasing only applies to memory operations that use strict
addresses. The optimizer needs to be aware of this flag. Uses of raw
addresses should not have their address substituted with a strict
address.
Also add Builtin.LoadRaw which will be used by raw pointer loads.
Similarly to how we've always handled parameter types, we
now recursively expand tuples in result types and separately
determine a result convention for each result.
The most important code-generation change here is that
indirect results are now returned separately from each
other and from any direct results. It is generally far
better, when receiving an indirect result, to receive it
as an independent result; the caller is much more likely
to be able to directly receive the result in the address
they want to initialize, rather than having to receive it
in temporary memory and then copy parts of it into the
target.
The most important conceptual change here that clients and
producers of SIL must be aware of is the new distinction
between a SILFunctionType's *parameters* and its *argument
list*. The former is just the formal parameters, derived
purely from the parameter types of the original function;
indirect results are no longer in this list. The latter
includes the indirect result arguments; as always, all
the indirect results strictly precede the parameters.
Apply instructions and entry block arguments follow the
argument list, not the parameter list.
A relatively minor change is that there can now be multiple
direct results, each with its own result convention.
This is a minor change because I've chosen to leave
return instructions as taking a single operand and
apply instructions as producing a single result; when
the type describes multiple results, they are implicitly
bound up in a tuple. It might make sense to split these
up and allow e.g. return instructions to take a list
of operands; however, it's not clear what to do on the
caller side, and this would be a major change that can
be separated out from this already over-large patch.
Unsurprisingly, the most invasive changes here are in
SILGen; this requires substantial reworking of both call
emission and reabstraction. It also proved important
to switch several SILGen operations over to work with
RValue instead of ManagedValue, since otherwise they
would be forced to spuriously "implode" buffers.
This improves support for promoting to and generating
unchecked_ref_cast so we no longer need unchecked_ref_bit_cast, which
will just go away in the next commit.

_unsafeCastReference allows casting of any references types, regardless
of whether they are references to objects or class existentials. The
implementation is responsible for converting between representations.
_unsafeCastReference provides a dynamic check to ensure that the source
and dest are both actually references. If not, the implementation will
trap at runtime. Generally, the optimizer can prove that the source
and dest are references, and promote this cast to an
unchecked_ref_cast bitcast. There is no dynamic check that the
references types are compatible.
This differs from unsafeDownCast in two ways:
(1) The source and dest types are not statically typed
AnyObjects. Therefore, unsafeCastReference can be used when the
surrounding code dynamically handles both reference and nonreference
types.
(2) The source and dest also need not dynamically conform to AnyObject.
Either side of the cast may be a class existential. The primary
requirement is that the source and dest refer to the same reference
counted object.
