For `alloc_ref [bare] [stack]` and `global_value [bare]` omit the object header initialization.
The `bare` flag means that the object header is not used.
This was already done with a peephole optimization inside IRGen for `global_value`. But now rely on the SIL `bare` flag.
Reduces the number of _ContiguousArrayStorage metadata.
In order to support constant time bridging we do need to set the correct
metadata when we bridge to Objective-C. This is so that the type check
succeeds when bridging back from Objective-C to reuse the storage
instance rather than bridging the elements.
To support dynamically setting the `_ContiguousArrayStorage` element
type i needed to add support for optimizing `alloc_ref_dynamic`
throughout the optimizer.
Possible future improvements:
* Use different metadata such that we can disambiguate native Swift
classes during destruction -- allowing native release rather then unknown
release usage.
* Optimize the newly added semantic function

- Virtual calls are done via a @llvm.type.checked.load instrinsic call with a type identifier
- Type identifier of a vfunc is the base method's mangling
- Type descriptors and class metadata get !type markers that list offsets and type identifiers of all vfuncs
- The -enable-llvm-vfe frontend flag enables VFE
- Two added tests verify the behavior on IR and by executing a program
of adding a property.
This better matches what the actual implementation expects,
and it avoids some possibilities of weird mismatches. However,
it also requires special-case initialization, destruction, and
dynamic-layout support, none of which I've added yet.
In order to get NSObject default actor subclasses to use Swift
refcounting (and thus avoid the need for the default actor runtime
to generally use ObjC refcounting), I've had to introduce a
SwiftNativeNSObject which we substitute as the superclass when
inheriting directly from NSObject. This is something we could
do in all NSObject subclasses; for now, I'm just doing it in
actors, although it's all actors and not just default actors.
We are not yet taking advantage of our special knowledge of this
class anywhere except the reference-counting code.
I went around in circles exploring a number of alternatives for
doing this; at one point I basically had a completely parallel
"ForImplementation" superclass query. That proved to be a lot
of added complexity and created more problems than it solved.
We also don't *really* get any benefit from this subclassing
because there still wouldn't be a consistent superclass for all
actors. So instead it's very ad-hoc.
When generic metadata for a class is requested in the same module where
the class is defined, rather than a call to the generic metadata
accessor or to a variant of typeForMangledNode, a call to a new
accessor--a canonical specialized generic metadata accessor--is emitted.
The new function is defined schematically as follows:
MetadataResponse `canonical specialized metadata accessor for C<K>`(MetadataRequest request) {
(void)`canonical specialized metadata accessor for superclass(C<K>)`(::Complete)
(void)`canonical specialized metadata accessor for generic_argument_class(C<K>, 1)`(::Complete)
...
(void)`canonical specialized metadata accessor for generic_argument_class(C<K>, count)`(::Complete)
auto *metadata = objc_opt_self(`canonical specialized metadata for C<K>`);
return {metadata, MetadataState::Complete};
}
where generic_argument_class(C<K>, N) denotes the Nth generic argument
which is both (1) itself a specialized generic type and is also (2) a
class. These calls to the specialized metadata accessors for these
related types ensure that all generic class types are registered with
the Objective-C runtime.
To enable these new canonical specialized generic metadata accessors,
metadata for generic classes is prespecialized as needed. So are the
metaclasses and the corresponding rodata.
Previously, the lazy objc naming hook was registered during process
execution when the first generic class metadata was instantiated. Since
that instantiation may occur "before process launch" (i.e. if the
generic metadata is prespecialized), the lazy naming hook is now
installed at process launch.
The Objective-C runtime expects a signed pointer here. The existing test
would have caught this, except it was always disabled because the
symbol name passed to the dlsym() check should not have had the leading
'_'.
Fixes <rdar://problem/57679510>.
Non-generic classes with resilient ancestry do not have statically-emitted
metadata, so we can now emit an Objective-C resilient class stub instead.
Also, when emitting an Objective-C category, reference the class stub if
the class has resilient ancestry; previously this case would hit an assert.
Note that class stubs always start with a zero word, with the address point
pointing immediately after. This works around a linker issue, where the
linker tries to coalesce categories and gets confused upon encountering a
class stub.
This consolidates the various doesClassMetadataRequire*() checks, making
them more managable.
This also adds a forth state, ClassMetadataStrategy::Update. This will be used
when deploying to the new Objective-C runtime. For now it's not plumbed through.
Progress on <rdar://problem/47649465>.
If a class has a backward deployment layout:
- We still want to emit it using the FixedClassMetadataBuilder.
- We still want it to appear in the objc_classes section, and get an
OBJC_CLASS_$_ symbol if its @objc.
- However, we want to use the singleton metadata initialization pattern
in the metadata accessor.
- We want to emit metadata for all field types, and call the
swift_updateClassMetadata() function to initialize the class
metadata.
For now, this function just performs the idempotent initialization of
invoking a static method on the class, causing it to be realized with
the Objective-C runtime.
- doesClassMetadataRequireRelocation() -- returns true if we must
allocate new metadata at runtime and fill it in, because the class
has multiple instantiations (generic case) or because the total size
of the metadata is not known at compile time (resilient ancestry).
- doesClassMetadataRequireInitialization() -- weaker condition than
the above. It's true if the metadata must be relocated, but it is
also true if the metadata has otherwise fixed size but must be
filled in dynamically. This occurs if the class has generic
ancestry but is itself not generic, or if the class has
resiliently-sized fields, or missing members.
For now, we don't actually care about the distinciton anywhere,
because we cannot do in-place initialization of class metadata yet.
We’re not using this parameter, and don’t expect to do so in the future,
so remove it. Also fold away TypeBase::usesNativeReferenceCounting()
and irgen::getReferenceCountingForType(), both of which are trivial.
When emitting fixed class metadata, we emit field offsets for all fields,
including those from superclasses, if any.
Get the ClassLayout for the correct class before looking up a field that
might potentially belong to a superclass. Soon, I'm going to slim down
ClassLayout instances to only store the fields belonging to the class
itself, removing the InheritedStoredProperites array altogether.
TypeBase::usesNativeReferenceCounting() was doing a lot of work to
find the class that a type refers to, then determine whether it
would use the native reference-counting scheme. Its primary caller
in IRGen would use an overly-conservative approximation to decide
between the “Objective-C” and “unknown” cases, which resulted in
uses of “unknown” reference counting for some obviously-ObjC cases
(e.g., values of “NSObject”).
Moreover, the approximation would try to call into the type checker
(because it relied unnecessarily on the superclass *type* of a class
declaration), causing an assertion.
Fixes rdar://problem/42828798.
Abstract type/heap metadata access goes into MetadataRequest.
Metadata access starting from a heap object goes into GenHeap.
Accessing various components of class metadata goes into GenClass
or MetadataLayout.
The alignment of tail allocated elements was not considered in the allocation call. This caused problems for alignments > 16 bytes.
rdar://problem/37470003
Only foreign classes and other imported types were making use of the
type metadata reference form in conformance records. Switch those over
to using nominal type descriptors, so we're using nominal type
descriptors for everything possible.
Only Objective-C-defined classes use a different representation now.
Following up on the fixes for rdar://problem/35330067. If a class inherits a class from another module with missing fields, we need to treat its size and alignment as opaque, just like the base class itself. We also need to lay out such class at runtime, since we don't know the size, alignment, or field offsets at compile time; relying on the ObjC runtime alone will slide the ivar offsets, but not the Swift instance size and alignment. Fixes rdar://problem/35747485.
To get the full benefit of dyld3 on Darwin platforms, pointer relocations need to be pointer-aligned, which unfortunately requires growing some key path data structures a little bit. This does tidy up some code that had to hack around our lack of unaligned load/store operations on UnsafeRawPointer, at least. While we're here, we can also simplify the identification strategy for reabstracted stored properties; we only need the property index to identify, not the absolute offset. rdar://problem/32318829
We need to use the ivar offset variables in this case, since the Swift field offset vector doesn't pick up the adjusted offsets from the ObjC runtime. Fixes SR-5036 | rdar://problem/32488871.
This gives big code size wins for unused types and also for types, which are never used in a generic context.
Also it reduces the amount of symbols in the symbol table.
The size wins heavily depend on the project. I have seen binary size reductions from 0 to 20% on real world projects.

This is NFC in intent, but I had to restructure the code to emit more
of the lists "inline", which means I inevitably altered some IRGen
emission patterns in ways that are visible to tests:
- GenClass emits property/ivar/whatever descriptors in a somewhat
different order.
- An ext method type list is now emitted as just an array, not a struct
containing only that array.
- Protocol descriptors are no longer emitted as packed structs.
I was sorely tempted to stop using packed structs for all the metadata
emission, but didn't really want to update that many tests in one go.
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.
The new instructions are: ref_tail_addr, tail_addr and a new attribute [ tail_elems ] for alloc_ref.
For details see docs/SIL.rst
As these new instructions are not generated so far, this is a NFC.

initialization in-place on demand. Initialize parent metadata
references correctly on struct and enum metadata.
Also includes several minor improvements related to relative
pointers that I was using before deciding to simply switch the
parent reference to an absolute reference to get better access
patterns.
Includes a fix since the earlier commit to make enum metadata
writable if they have an unfilled payload size. This didn't show
up on Darwin because "constant" is currently unenforced there in
global data containing relocations.
This patch requires an associated LLDB change which is being
submitted in parallel.
