This includes global generic and non-generic global access
functions, protocol associated type access functions,
swift_getGenericMetadata, and generic type completion functions.
The main part of this change is that the functions now need to take
a MetadataRequest and return a MetadataResponse, which is capable
of expressing that the request can fail. The state of the returned
metadata is reported as an second, independent return value; this
allows the caller to easily check the possibility of failure without
having to mask it out from the returned metadata pointer, as well
as allowing it to be easily ignored.
Also, change metadata access functions to use swiftcc to ensure that
this return value is indeed returned in two separate registers.
Also, change protocol associated conformance access functions to use
swiftcc. This isn't really related, but for some reason it snuck in.
Since it's clearly the right thing to do, and since I really didn't
want to retroactively tease that back out from all the rest of the
test changes, I've left it in.
Also, change generic metadata access functions to either pass all
the generic arguments directly or pass them all indirectly. I don't
know how we ended up with the hybrid approach. I needed to change all
the code-generation and calls here anyway in order to pass the request
parameter, and I figured I might as well change the ABI to something
sensible.
The allocation phase is guaranteed to succeed and just puts enough
of the structure together to make things work.
The completion phase does any component metadata lookups that are
necessary (for the superclass, fields, etc.) and performs layout;
it can fail and require restart.
Next up is to support this in the runtime; then we can start the
process of making metadata accessors actually allow incomplete
metadata to be fetched.
The layout changes to become relative-address based. For this to be
truly immutable (at least on Darwin), things like the RO data patterns
must be moved out of the pattern header. Additionally, compress the
pattern header so that we do not include metadata about patterns that
are not needed for the type.
Value metadata patterns just include the metadata kind and VWT.
The design here is meant to accomodate non-default instantiation
patterns should that become an interesting thing to support in the
future, e.g. for v-table specialization.
Change the "metadata base offset" variable into a "class metadata bounds"
variable that contains the base offset and the +/- bounds on the class.
Link this variable from the class descriptor when the class has a resilient
superclass; otherwise, store the +/- bounds there. Use this variable to
compute the immediate-members offset for various runtime queries. Teach the
runtime to fill it in lazily and remove the code to compute it from the
generated code for instantiation. Identify generic arguments with the start
of the immediate class metadata members / end of the {struct,enum} metadata
header and remove the generic-arguments offset from generic type descriptors.
This is yet another waypoint on the path towards the final
generic-metadata design. The immediate goal is to make the
pattern a private implementation detail and to give the runtime
more visibility into the allocation and caching of generic types.
All of the information contained by this field (list of property names)
is already encoded as part of the field reflection metadata and
is accessible via `swift_getFieldAt` runtime method.
This new format more efficiently represents existing information, while
more accurately encoding important information about nested generic
contexts with same-type and layout constraints that need to be evaluated
at runtime. It's also designed with an eye to forward- and
backward-compatible expansion for ABI stability with future Swift
versions.
- Create the value witness table as a separate global object instead
of concatenating it to the metadata pattern.
- Always pass the metadata to the runtime and let the runtime handle
instantiating or modifying the value witness table.
- Pass the right layout algorithm version to the runtime; currently
this is always "Swift 5".
- Create a runtime function to instantiate single-case enums.
Among other things, this makes the copying of the VWT, and any
modifications of it, explicit and in the runtime, which is more
future-proof.
We no longer need this for anything, so remove it from metadata
altogether. This simplifies logic for emitting type metadata and
makes type metadata smaller.
We still pass the parent metadata pointer to type constructors;
removing that is a separate change.
Once generic type metadata includes arguments from all outer contexts,
we need to know how many arguments there are at each nesting depth in
order to properly reconstruct the type name from metadata.
To make this stick, I've disallowed direct use of that overload of
CreateCall. I've left the Constant overloads available, but eventually
we might want to consider fixing those, too, just to get all of this
code out of the business of manually remembering to pass around
attributes and calling conventions.
The test changes reflect the fact that we weren't really setting
attributes consistently at all, in this case on value witnesses.
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 also uses the new mangling for type names in meta-data (except for top-level non-generic classes).
lldb has now support for new mangled metadata type names.
This reinstates commit 21ba292943.
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.

For this we are linking the new re-mangler instead of the old one into the swift runtime library.
Also we are linking the new de-mangling into the swift runtime library.
It also switches to the new mangling for class names of generic swift classes in the metadata.
Note that for non-generic class we still have to use the old mangling, because the ObjC runtime in the OS depends on it (it de-mangles the class names).
But names of generic classes are not handled by the ObjC runtime anyway, so there should be no problem to change the mangling for those.
The reason for this change is that it avoids linking the old re-mangler into the runtime library.
Swift uses rt_swift_* functions to call the Swift runtime without using dyld's stubs. These functions are renamed to swift_rt_* to reduce namespace pollution.

FastISel doesn't like switch, and it's generally more compact code gen to build conditionals for two-target branches instead of switching all the time. There are many popular two-tag enums (Optional, someday Bool, Either) and this should greatly improve the potential for FastISel to kick in at -Onone.
In practice, this interferes with FastISel and has exposed lots of latent LLVM backend bugs. Using "normal" power-of-two-bytes sized integers is easier to work with and improves code gen performance for nonoptimizing clients like Swift Playgrounds.
- All parts of the compiler now use ‘P1 & P2’ syntax
- The demangler and AST printer wrap the composition in parens if it is
in a metatype lookup
- IRGen mangles compositions differently
- “protocol<>” is now “swift.Any”
- “protocol<_TP1P,_TP1Q>” is now “_TP1P&_TP1Q”
- Tests cases are updated and added to test the new syntax and mangling
