Introduce a new swift_dynamicCast pair that take in a general metatype
pointer, rather than the more specific class-metatype pointer used for
class downcasts, and grab the class out of that general metatype
pointer, which may actually be an Objective-C wrapper. This is
slightly slower, but it works for the super-to-archetype cases like
T(an_NSObject), where T can have either kind of metadata.
NSTypedArray<T> is actually run-time type checked now, yay!

This variant of swift_dynamicCast requires us to have data that's
guaranteed to be class metadata, but it's not always natural to
generate class metadata. No functionality change yet.
Swift SVN r3562
We add a new runtime entry point, swift_dynamicCastUnconditional(),
that aborts when the cast fails. We'll probably want to throw an
exception in the future, but this is fine for now.
Swift SVN r3554
Notably, there is still no support for +1 return values,
so we'll leak when doing alloc/init and so on; but this gets
the fundamentals in place. A lot of the extra stuff in here
is dealing with mapping between metatypes and class objects.
Swift SVN r3425
The interesting thing here is that we need runtime support in
order to generate references to metatypes for classes, mostly
because normal ObjC classes don't have all the information we want
in a metatype (which for now just means the VWT pointer).
We'll need to be able to reverse this mapping when finding a
class pointer to hand off to, say, an Objective-C class method,
of course.

When generating IR for the JIT, use sel_registerName() to unique the
selector references we generate. Static code doesn't need this
pessimization. Fixes <rdar://problem/12764732>.
Swift SVN r3403
Note that the constructors we emit don't function yet, since they rely
on the not-yet-implemented class message sends to Objective-C
methods.
Swift SVN r3370
The principal difficulty here is that we need accessing the
value witness table for a type to be an efficient operation,
but there (obviously) isn't a VWT field for ObjC classes.
Placing this field after the metatype would tend to bloat
metatypes by quite a bit. Placing it before is best, but
it introduces an unfortunate difference between the address
point of a metatype and the address of the global symbol.
That, however, can be fixed with appropriate linker support.
Still, for now this is rather unfortunately over-subtle.
Swift SVN r3307
First, keep track of each of the selectors we emit and dump them into the
llvm.used global so that they don't get thrown away by the
optimizer. Second, emit Objective-C module-level named metadata so
that the linker knows it needs to unique selectors. Otherwise,
uniquing doesn't happen when Swift code is compiled into a separate
dylib.
Swift SVN r3287
to avoid some obvious redundancies. This also gives us a
more general framework with which to exploit other ways
in which metadata is known.
Swift SVN r3047
towards optimizing generic calls to derive things from the
'this' pointer, which is actually crucial for virtual
dispatch (to get all methods to agree about how the
implicit arguments are passed). Fix a number of assorted
bugs in metadata emission. Lots of assorted enhancements.
This was proving surprisingly difficult to actually tease
apart into smaller patches.
Swift SVN r2927
uncurrying level, which is something I find myself passing around
quite a bit. Make sure that it can propagate getter/setter
references in the same way.
Swift SVN r2902
the metadata objects for classes. This is currently only
done for methods defined in the main class body, and it's
(naturally) totally fragile, and it's screwed up in a
couple known ways w.r.t. generic classes: there's no
thunking when the overrider differs by abstraction from
the overridden method, and methods on classes currently
expect to get all the type arguments passed directly
and thus will disagree in signature from members of
non-generic classes. Also, of course, we're not using
any of this in the call infrastructure. But it's progress.
Swift SVN r2901
This is kindof a pain in a few places where the type system
doesn't propagate canonicality. Also, member initializations
are always direct-initializations and so are allowed to use
explicit constructors, which is a hole in our canonicality
tracking. But overall I like the idea of always working
with canonical types.
Swift SVN r2893
This requires us to potentially copy the value witness tables for
generic struct types as part of computing layout, but that's not
the end of the world (although it will rely on a future patch
to split value witnesses out from protocol witness tables).
Oh, and add a value witness for stride, changing Builtin.strideof
to use that.
Swift SVN r2829
In particular, prepare for storing real v-table-like information
in the heap metadata. Give the metadata object proper linkage
and emit it as part of emitting the class.
Adjust the manglings of constructors and destructors while I'm
at it.
Swift SVN r2628
by abstraction from the concrete return type.
This basically gets generic calls working totally as long
as there's no remapping required.
