Both the syntax and relative order of the LLVM `nocapture` parameter
attribute changed upstream in 29441e4f5fa5f5c7709f7cf180815ba97f611297.
To reduce conflicts with rebranch, adjust FileCheck patterns to expect
both syntaxes and orders anywhere the presence of the attribute is not
critical to the test. These changes are temporary and will be cleaned
up once rebranch is merged into main.
Conformance manglings, which are used for witness tables and related witness
thunks, mangle the generic signature of the conformance. Since conformances
also describe the conforming type, mangle the conformances's generic signature
relative to the conforming type's generic signature.
In practice, this means that we don't mangle any part of the generic signature
into a conformance mangling now, so we see a decent win: 2.3% smaller
trie and 6.4% smaller strings section in the standard library binary.
When conditional conformances land, we'll see some generic signatures
mangling again (for the additional requirements of the constrained
extension).
We used to give witness thunks public linkage if the
conforming type and the protocol are public.
This is completely unnecessary. If the conformance is
fragile, the thunk should be [shared] [serialized],
allowing the thunk to be serialized into callers after
devirtualization.
Otherwise for private protocols or resilient modules,
witness thunks can just always be private.
This should reduce the size of compiled binaries.
There are two other mildly interesting consequences:
1) In the bridged cast tests, we now inline the witness
thunks from the bridgeable conformances, which removes
one level of indirection.
2) This uncovered a flaw in our accessibility checking
model. Usually, we reject a witness that is less
visible than the protocol; however, we fail to
reject it in the case that it comes from an
extension.
This is because members of an extension can be
declared 'public' even if the extended type is not
public, and it appears that in this case the 'public'
keyword has no effect.
I would prefer it if a) 'public' generated a warning
here, and b) the conformance also generated a warning.
In Swift 4 mode, we could then make this kind of
sillyness into an error. But for now, live with the
broken behavior, and add a test to exercise it to ensure
we don't crash.
There are other places where this "allow public but
ignore it, kinda, except respect it in some places"
behavior causes problems. I don't know if it was intentional
or just emergent behavior from general messiness in Sema.
3) In the TBD code, there is one less 'failure' because now
that witness thunks are no longer public, TBDGen does not
need to reason about them (except for the case #2 above,
which will probably require a similar workaround in TBDGen
as what I put into SILGen).
Use the generic type lowering algorithm described in
"docs/CallingConvention.rst#physical-lowering" to map from IRGen's explosion
type to the type expected by the ABI.
Change IRGen to use the swift calling convention (swiftcc) for native swift
functions.
Use the 'swiftself' attribute on self parameters and for closures contexts.
Use the 'swifterror' parameter for swift error parameters.
Change functions in the runtime that are called as native swift functions to use
the swift calling convention.

This is another incremental step toward protocol resilience.
To support resiliently adding requirements with default implementations,
we need to emit the witness thunk for each default requirement once,
and share it between conformances.
However, the body of the witness thunk can call witness methods from
the conformance of <Self : P>. Formerly, witness thunks were only emitted
with a concrete Self type, so any calls were resolved statically.
Now that Self can be abstract in a witness thunk signature, we have to
pass in the witness table and do the necessary gymnastics on both sides
of the call.
At the call site, the witness table is either abstract, concrete, or
undefined, as follows:
- If the unsubstituted Self type is concrete in the witness method
signature, no witness table is necessary; this is the case of a
concrete (non-default) witness thunk.
- If the unsubstituted Self type is abstract and the substituted Self
type is concrete, the witness table is accessed via direct reference.
- If the unsubstituted Self type is abstract and the substituted Self
type is also abstract, the witness table comes from type metadata
that was passed in to the function where the call is taking place.
Inside the body of the witness method thunk, we only bind the witness
table if Self is an abstract type; this rules out the first case above,
where the witness table is not needed and cannot be provided by the
caller.
The result of a SIL witness_method instruction now lowers as an
explosion containing two values, the function pointer itself and
the witness table.
Similarly, partial application thunks now grab the witness table and
package it up in the context.
Special care is taken to support function_ref + apply and
function_ref + partial_apply of @convention(witness_method) callees;
here, we can hit the case where we don't know the original conformance
because the callee is concrete, in which case we just pass in a null
pointer as the witness table.
Witness thunks with an abstract Self currently only work for protocols
without any associated type requirements; to support those, we need
to be able to fulfill associated type metadata from the witness
table for the <Self : P> conformance. This will be addressed as part
of @rjmccall's calling convention work.
Also I didn't make any attempt to support this for @objc protocols that
do not have a witness table. In this case, the extra parameter is not
necessary since we can perform dynamic dispatch on the 'self' value to
call requirements; however, @objc protocols will not support default
implementations, at least not in the near-term.
And include some supplementary mangling changes:
- Give the first generic param (depth=0, index=0) a single character mangling. Even after removing the self type from method declaration types, 'Self' still shows up very frequently in protocol requirement signatures.
- Fix the mangling of generic parameter counts to elide the count when there's only one parameter at the starting depth of the mangling.
Together these carve another 154KB out of a debug standard library. There's some awkwardness in demangled strings that I'll clean up in subsequent commits; since decl types now only mangle the number of generic params at their own depth, it's context-dependent what depths those represent, which we get wrong now. Currying markers are also wrong, but since free function currying is going away, we can mangle the partial application thunks in different ways.

Canonical dependent member types are always based from a generic parameter, so we can use a more optimal mangling that assumes this. We can also introduce substitutions for AssociatedTypeDecls, and when a generic parameter in a signature is constrained by a single protocol, we can leave that protocol qualification out of the unsubstituted associated type mangling. These optimizations together shrink the standard library by 117KB, and bring the length of the longest Swift symbol in the stdlib down from 578 to 334 characters, shorter than the longest C++ symbol in the stdlib.

@inout parameters can be nocapture and dereferenceable. @in, @in_guaranteed, and indirected @direct parameters can be noalias, nocapture, and dereferenceable.

The rule changes are as follows:
* All functions (introduced with the 'func' keyword) have argument
labels for arguments beyond the first, by default. Methods are no
longer special in this regard.
* The presence of a default argument no longer implies an argument
label.
The actual changes to the parser and printer are fairly simple; the
rest of the noise is updating the standard library, overlays, tests,
etc.
With the standard library, this change is intended to be API neutral:
I've added/removed #'s and _'s as appropriate to keep the user
interface the same. If we want to separately consider using argument
labels for more free functions now that the defaults in the language
have shifted, we can tackle that separately.

We have to guarantee memory safety in the presence of the user violating the
inout assumption. Claiming NoAlias for parameters that might alias is not
memory safe because LLVM will optimize based on that assumption.
Unfortunately, this means that llvm can't optimize arrays as aggressively. For
example, the load of array->buffer won't get hoisted out of loops (this is the
Sim2DArray regression below).

Most tests were using %swift or similar substitutions, which did not
include the target triple and SDK. The driver was defaulting to the
host OS. Thus, we could not run the tests when the standard library was
not built for OS X.

as passing self by value, not by inout. This is the correct representation at
the AST level, and we now lower self references as the new @in_guaranteed
parameter convention. This allows SIL clients (like DI) to know that a nonmutating
protocol method does not mutate the pointee passed into the method.
This fixes:
<rdar://problem/19215313> let properties don't work with protocol method dispatch
