This way it covers a lot more ground and doesn't conflict with
other fixes.
Another notable change is related to check for IUO associated
with source type, that covers cases like:
```swift
func foo(_ v: NSString!) -> String {
return v
}
```
Instead of general conversion failure check for IUO enables solver
to introduce force downcast fix.
Stop creating ImplicitlyUnwrappedOptional<T> so that we can remove it
from the type system.
Enable the code that generates disjunctions for Optional<T> and
rewrites expressions based on the original declared type being 'T!'.
Most of the changes supporting this were previously merged to master,
but some things were difficult to merge to master without actually
removing IUOs from the type system:
- Dynamic member lookup and dynamic subscripting
- Changes to ensure the bridging peephole still works
Past commits have attempted to retain as much fidelity with how we
were printing things as possible. There are some cases where we still
are not printing things the same way:
- In diagnostics we will print '?' rather than '!'
- Some SourceKit and Code Completion output where we print a Type
rather than Decl.
Things like module printing via swift-ide-test attempt to print '!'
any place that we now have Optional types that were declared as IUOs.
There are some diagnostics regressions related to the fact that we can
no longer "look through" IUOs. For the same reason some output and
functionality changes in Code Completion. I have an idea of how we can
restore these, and have opened a bug to investigate doing so.
There are some small source compatibility breaks that result from
this change:
- Results of dynamic lookup that are themselves declared IUO can in
rare circumstances be inferred differently. This shows up in
test/ClangImporter/objc_parse.swift, where we have
var optStr = obj.nsstringProperty
Rather than inferring optStr to be 'String!?', we now infer this to
be 'String??', which is in line with the expectations of SE-0054.
The fact that we were only inferring the outermost IUO to be an
Optional in Swift 4 was a result of the incomplete implementation of
SE-0054 as opposed to a particular design. This should rarely cause
problems since in the common-case of actually using the property rather
than just assigning it to a value with inferred type, we will behave
the same way.
- Overloading functions with inout parameters strictly by a difference
in optionality (i.e. Optional<T> vs. ImplicitlyUnwrappedOptional<T>)
will result in an error rather than the diagnostic that was added
in Swift 4.1.
- Any place where '!' was being used where it wasn't supposed to be
allowed by SE-0054 will now treat the '!' as if it were '?'.
Swift 4.1 generates warnings for these saying that putting '!'
in that location is deprecated. These locations include for example
typealiases or any place where '!' is nested in another type like
`Int!?` or `[Int!]`.
This commit effectively means ImplicitlyUnwrappedOptional<T> is no
longer part of the type system, although I haven't actually removed
all of the code dealing with it yet.
ImplicitlyUnwrappedOptional<T> is is dead, long live implicitly
unwrapped Optional<T>!
Resolves rdar://problem/33272674.
along with recent policy changes:
- For expression types that are not specifically handled, make sure to
produce a general "unused value" warning, catching a bunch of unused
values in the testsuite.
- For unused operator results, diagnose them as uses of the operator
instead of "calls".
- For calls, mutter the type of the result for greater specificity.
- For initializers, mutter the type of the initialized value.
- Look through OpenExistentialExpr's so we can handle protocol member
references propertly.
- Look through several other expressions so we handle @discardableResult
better.
mode (take 2)
Allow untyped placeholder to take arbitrary type, but default to Void.
Add _undefined<T>() function, which is like fatalError() but has
arbitrary return type. In playground mode, merely warn about outstanding
placeholders instead of erroring out, and transform placeholders into
calls to _undefined(). This way, code with outstanding placeholders will
only crash when it attempts to evaluate such placeholders.
When generating constraints for an iterated sequence of type T, emit
T convertible to $T1
$T1 conforms to SequenceType
instead of
T convertible to SequenceType
This ensures that an untyped placeholder in for-each sequence position
doesn't get inferred to have type SequenceType. (The conversion is still
necessary because the sequence may have IUO type.) The new constraint
system precipitates changes in CSSimplify and CSDiag, and ends up fixing
18741539 along the way.
(NOTE: There is a small regression in diagnosis of issues like the
following:
class C {}
class D: C {}
func f(a: [C]!) { for _: D in a {} }
It complains that [C]! doesn't conform to SequenceType when it should be
complaining that C is not convertible to D.)
<rdar://problem/21167372>
(Originally Swift SVN r31481)
we process contextual constraints when producing diagnostic. Formerly,
we would aggressively drop contextual type information on the floor under
the idea that it would reduce constraints on the system and make it more
likely to be solvable. However, this also has the downside of introducing
ambiguity into the system, and some expr nodes (notably closures) cannot
usually be solved without that contextual information.
In the new model, expr diagnostics are expected to handle the fact that
contextual information may be present, and bail out without diagnosing an
error if that is the case. This gets us more information into closures,
allowing more specific return type information, e.g. in the case in
test/expr/closure/closures.swift.
This approach also produces more correct diagnostics in a bunch of other
cases as well, e.g.:
- var c = [:] // expected-error {{type '[_ : _]' does not conform to protocol 'DictionaryLiteralConvertible'}}
+ var c = [:] // expected-error {{expression type '[_ : _]' is ambiguous without more context}}
and the examples in test/stmt/foreach.swift, test/expr/cast/as_coerce.swift,
test/expr/cast/array_iteration.swift, etc.
That said, this another two steps forward, one back thing. Because we
don't handle propagating sametype constraints from results of calls to their
arguments, we regress a couple of (admittedly weird) cases. This is now
tracked by:
<rdar://problem/22333090> QoI: Propagate contextual information in a call to operands
There is also the one-off narrow case tracked by:
<rdar://problem/22333281> QoI: improve diagnostic when contextual type of closure disagrees with arguments

- Don't "aka" a Builtin.Int2123 type, it just makes a bad diagnostic worse.
- Split out the predicate that CSDiag uses to determine what a conversion
constraint is to a helper fn, and add subtype constraints to the mix.
- Move eraseTypeData into CSDiag (its own client) as a static function.
- Make eraseTypeData be a bit more careful about literals, in an attempt to
improve diagnostics when literals get re-type-checked. It turns out that
this still isn't enough as shown by the regression on the
decl/func/default-values.swift testcase, and the
Constraints/dictionary_literal.swift testcase where one bad diagnostic turns
into another different one, but I'll keep working on it.
- Beef up diagnoseContextualConversionError and the caller to it to be more
self contained and principled about the conversion constraints it digs out
of the system. This improves the diagnostics on a couple of cases.

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.
Swift SVN r24504
Previously the "as" keyword could either represent coercion or or forced
downcasting. This change separates the two notions. "as" now only means
type conversion, while the new "as!" operator is used to perform forced
downcasting. If a program uses "as" where "as!" is called for, we emit a
diagnostic and fixit.
Internally, this change removes the UnresolvedCheckedCastExpr class, in
favor of directly instantiating CoerceExpr when parsing the "as"
operator, and ForcedCheckedCastExpr when parsing the "as!" operator.
Swift SVN r24253
This change pulls the handling of the element pattern and sequence of
a for-each loop into a single constraint system, so that we get type
inference between the two. Among other things, this allows one to
infer generic arguments within the element pattern from the sequence's
element type as well as allowing type annotations or the form of the
element pattern to affect overload resolution and generic argument
deduction for the sequence itself.
Swift SVN r19721
There's a bit of a reshuffle of the ExplicitCastExpr subclasses:
- The existing ConditionalCheckedCastExpr expression node now represents
"as?".
- A new ForcedCheckedCastExpr node represents "as" when it is a
downcast.
- CoerceExpr represents "as" when it is a coercion.
- A new UnresolvedCheckedCastExpr node describes "as" before it has
been type-checked down to ForcedCheckedCastExpr or CoerceExpr. This
wasn't a strictly necessary change, but it helps us detangle what's
going on.
There are a few new diagnostics to help users avoid getting bitten by
as/as? mistakes:
- Custom errors when a forced downcast (as) is used as the operand
of postfix '!' or '?', with Fix-Its to remove the '!' or make the
downcast conditional (with as?), respectively.
- A warning when a forced downcast is injected into an optional,
with a suggestion to use a conditional downcast.
- A new error when the postfix '!' is used for a contextual
downcast, with a Fix-It to replace it with "as T" with the
contextual type T.
Lots of test updates, none of which felt like regressions. The new
tests are in test/expr/cast/optionals.swift.
