The YAML format is the same one produced by the -dump-type-info
frontend mode.
For now this is only enabled if the -read-type-info-path frontend
flag is specified.
Progress on <rdar://problem/17528739>.
Commit to a command line option spelling so that build systems can
start testing it. I deliberately picked one of the longer names we
were considering because we can always decide to add a shorter alias,
but can't decide a shorter name was too generic.
Like the other supplementary output flags,
-emit-parseable-module-interface-path will emit a .swiftinterface file
to a particular path, while -emit-parseable-module-interface will put
it next to the main output (the one specified with -o).

We already have something called "module interfaces" -- it's the
generated interface view that you can see in Xcode, the interface
that's meant for developers using a library. Of course, that's also a
textual format. To reduce confusion, rename the new module stability
feature to "parseable [module] interfaces".
Add a staging option for enabling upcoming changes in the solver in
support of using the protocols designated in Policy.swift to guide
operator type checking.
When provided, this flag warns about implicit overrides, where a
declaration overrides another declaration but is not marked with the
‘override’ keyword. The warning can be suppressed by either providing
‘override’ or ‘@_nonoverride’.
At present, this only happens with overrides in protocols.
* [TBDGen] Allow user-provided dylib version flags
This patch adds two frontend arguments, -tbd-compatibility-version and
-tbd-current-version, both of which accept SemVer versions.
These will show up in the generated TBD file for a given module as
current-version: 2.7
compatibility-version: 2.0
These flags both default to `1.0.0`.
* Reword some comments
* Add test for invalid version string
* Expand on comments for TBD flags
This is helpful in experimenting with constraint solver changes that
might help us remove some of these unsound options. It's not ever mean
to be enabled, but if we're able to remove the things guarded by the
option we can eventually remove the option.
Adds the -vfsoverlay frontend option that enables the user to pass
VFS overlay YAML files to Swift. These files define a (potentially
many-layered) virtual mapping on which we predicate a VFS.
Switch all input-based memory buffer reads in the Frontend to the new
FileSystem-based approach.
...but don't hook it up to anything yet.
This is the very very start of the module stability / textual
interfaces feature described at
https://forums.swift.org/t/plan-for-module-stability/14551/
For now I've just made it a frontend option (not a driver option),
which is good enough for testing.
Introduces the -name-bind frontend action that is intended as an intermediary between the parse-only actions and a full typechecking pass. In this phase, module imports will be validated and resolved, making it possible to emit full make-style dependencies files among other things.
Note that all information available to a parse-only pass is available to name binding, but because it does not continue-on to typecheck input files, full semantic information is not.
This flag is based on Clang's -fdebug-prefix-map, which lets the user remap absolute paths in debug info. This is necessary for reproducible builds and allows debugging to work on a different machine than the one that built the code when paths to the source may be different.
This was retained to help ease migration between versions of the 4.2 compiler
between when the flag was originally introduced and the full fix landed. It's
not longer needed and there's no reason to retain it in the full release.
Fixes rdar://problem/40502379.
Introduce a command-line option to visualize the complete set of output
request dependencies evaluated by a particular compile action. This is
exposing existing visualization facilities to the (-frontend) command line.
We sometimes see expression type checking times increase dramatically
when this is enabled, and having a way to disable will make it
possible to easily do measurements to determine the cost/benefit of
having this enabled.
As a debugging aid, introduce a new frontend flag `-debug-cycles` that
will emit a debug dump whenever the request-evaluator encounters a cyclic
dependency, while otherwise allowing compilation to continue.
This work-around is no longer needed now that the full fix landed in
https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/16615. The argument is left with a warning
to help with migration between compilers with the work-around and compilers with
the full fix (see also rdar://problem/40502379).
Fixes rdar://problem/40476573.
IRGen can introduce calls to type metadata accessors for types that
should not be visible to the current translate, which can manifest in
linker errors within a module (for references to private types when
whole module optimization is disabled) or across modules (for
references to private/internal types in another module). Introduce a
new compiler flag `-emit-public-type-metadata-accessors` that emits
all type metadata accessors with public linkage, to work around the
problem in affected projects. This flag is intended to go away once we
have a proper solution.
This bug has been around in Swift "forever", but compiling the
overlays using -enable-resilience has exacerbated the problem and
caused regressions. This is a short-term fix to
rdar://problem/40229755 while we work on the correct long-term fix.
When running Swift from within LLDB, we need to bypass resilience since LLDB
does not support resilience yet. However, the bypass was done too early as
part of the module loader, which had the effect of disabling resilience
altogether.
We still want resilience at the SIL level so that function types lower the
same with debugger support turned on and off. Only IRGen needs to bypass
resilience, so that LLDB can calculate fragile layouts of types. Also, the
DebuggerSupport flag is not always set in the ASTContexts created by LLDB.
So replace it with a new flag that only controls this behavior and nothing
else, and make it part of IRGenOptions to make it totally clear that it only
impacts IRGen.
Together with the paired LLDB change, fixes <rdar://problem/38719739>
and <rdar://problem/38483762>.
When the supplementary-outputs file is written for an -index-file invocation it writes out the first input file
given in arguments instead of the input file that is provided by -index-file-path option. This then causes the frontend
index invocation to fail with an error because there is a mismatch in the primary input file and the input file that is written
in the supplementary-outputs file.
When generating a compiler invocation in driver::createCompilerInvocation()
we end up using filelists if the number of inputs is > 128 (to work around
command line arg limits). We never actually write them out though, and so
fail when parsing the frontend arguments that reference them.
As this function is called frequently by SourceKit and command line limits
aren't a concern here, this patch makes the 128 threshold value configurable
via a new -driver-filelist-threshold option. This is set to its maximum value
in driver::createCompilerInvocation() to ensure filelists aren't used. This
new option makes the existing -driver-use-filelists (that forces filelists to
be used) redundant as it's now equivalent to -driver-filelist-threshold=0.
