We were unnecessarily conservative here; generic metadata patterns support indirectable references
to value witness tables exported by the standard library, so if we have a fixed-layout generic
type that matches a known value witness table layout, use that instead of generating a new
value witness table.
When we generate code that asks for complete metadata for a fully concrete specific type that
doesn't have trivial metadata access, like `(Int, String)` or `[String: [Any]]`,
generate a cache variable that points to a mangled name, and use a common accessor function
that turns that cache variable into a pointer to the instantiated metadata. This saves a bunch
of code size, and should have minimal runtime impact, since the demangling of any string only
has to happen once.
This mostly just works, though it exposed a couple of issues:
- Mangling a type ref including objc protocols didn't cause the objc protocol record to get
instantiated. Fixed as part of this patch.
- The runtime type demangler doesn't correctly handle retroactive conformances. If there are
multiple retroactive conformances in a process at runtime, then even though the mangled string
refers to a specific conformance, the runtime still just picks one without listening to the
mangler. This is left to fix later, rdar://problem/53828345.
There is some more follow-up work that we can do to further improve the gains:
- We could improve the runtime-provided entry points, adding versions that don't require size
to be cached, and which can handle arbitrary metadata requests. This would allow for mangled
names to also be used for incomplete metadata accesses and improve code size of some generic
type accessors. However, we'd only be able to take advantage of the new entry points in
OSes that ship a new runtime.
- We could choose to always symbolic reference all type references, which would generally reduce
the size of mangled strings, as well as make runtime demangling more efficient, since it wouldn't
need to hit the runtime caches. This would however require that we be able to handle symbolic
references across files in the MetadataReader in order to avoid regressing remote mirror
functionality.
The code here was not correct in a situation where an opaque type had constraints that were
refinements of the protocol requirements of an associated type, as in:
```
protocol ParentProtocol {}
protocol SubProtocol: ParentProtocol {}
protocol P {
associatedtype A: ParentProtocol
func foo() -> A
}
struct S: P {
func foo() -> some SubProtocol
}
```
because it assumed that the conformance could be found directly on the opaque type instead of
potentially via an arbitrary MetadataPath. Falling through to the code that already correctly
handles archetype conformances right below the removed code does the right thing. Fixes
rdar://problem/53081207.
This improves on the previous situation:
- The request ensures that the backing storage for lazy properties
and property wrappers gets synthesized first; previously it was
only somewhat guaranteed by callers.
- Instead of returning a range this just returns an ArrayRef,
which simplifies clients.
- Indexing into the ArrayRef is O(1), which addresses some FIXMEs
in the SIL optimizer.
When referencing a superclass type from a subclass, for example, the
type uses the subclass's generic parameters, not the superclass's.
This can be important if a nested type constrains away some of its
parent type's generic parameters.
This doesn't solve all the problems around mis-referenced generic
parameters when some are constrained away, though. That might
require a runtime change. See the FIXME comments in the test cases.

Add `llvm_unreachable` to mark covered switches which MSVC does not
analyze correctly and believes that there exists a path through the
function without a return value.
They aren't normally decl contexts, but if one has an opaque type, we want to be able to record
the property as a context so that we can reconstruct it in RemoteAST.
This is to support dynamic function replacement of functions with opaque
result type.
This approach requires that all state is thrown away (that could contain the
old returned type for an opaque type) between replacements.

Previously even if a type's metadata was optimized away, we would still
emit a field descriptor, which in turn could reference nominal type
descriptors for other types via symbolic references, etc.
Instead of a wholly separate lazyness mechanism for foreign metadata where
the first call to getAddrOfForeignTypeMetadataCandidate() would emit the
metadata, emit it using the lazy metadata mechanism.
This eliminates some code duplication. It also ensures that foreign
metadata is only emitted once per SIL module, and not once per LLVM
module, avoiding duplicate copies that must be ODR'd away in multi-threaded
mode.
This fixes the test case from <rdar://problem/49710077>.
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.
* Teach the importer to import any vector type as SIMDN<Scalar>.
Instead of having a known set of vector types, check to see if the
element type conforms to SIMDScalar; if it does, see if we have a
SIMDN defined with the right number of elements. If both are satisfied,
import the vector type as that Swift type.
By making this change, we gain the ability to import vector types
that aren't defined in terms of the Darwin simd module, which lets
us use C API with vector types on other platforms. It also lets us
import *every* vector type that Swift can represent, rather than the
small subset that are currently hardcoded.
* Increased test coverage for increased SIMD types that we can import.
Includes some minor cleanup from review. Also eliminates the old
simd_sans_simd test, since we can now import all of these types even when the simd module isn't imported.
This is needed for Windows which does not support cross-module data
references without indirection. By lazy initializing the data, we can
indirect through the IAT for the data pointer and fill in the parent
pointer.
Field offset vectors are always filled out with either zero or the static layout's offset, depending on the metadata initialization strategy. This change means that the static layout's offset will only be non-zero for properties with a statically-known layout. Existing runtimes doing dynamic class layout assign class properties a zero offset if the field offset vector entry is zero and the property is zero-sized. So this effectively brings the compiler into accord with the runtime (for all newly-compiled Swift code, which will eventually be all Swift code because the current public releases of Swift 5 are not yet considered ABI-stable) and guarantees a zero value for the offset everywhere.
Since the runtime will agree with the compiler about the zero value of the offset, the compiler can continue to emit such offset variables as constant. The exception to this rule is if the class has non-fragile ObjC ancestry, in which case the ObjC runtime (which is not aware of this special rule for empty fields) will attempt to slide it along with everything else.
Fixes rdar://48031465, in which the `FixedClassMetadataBuilder` for a class with a legacy-fixed layout was writing a non-zero offset for an empty field into the field offset vector, causing the runtime to not apply the special case and thus to compute a non-zero offset, which it then attempted to copy into the global field offset variable, which the compiler had emitted as a true-constant zero.
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>.
In our initial approach for resolving metadata dependency cycles with classes, non-transitively complete superclass metadata was fetched by the subclass's metadata completion function and passed to `swift_initClassMetadata`. That could mean generating quite a lot of code in the completion function, and so we fairly recently changed it so that `swift_initClassMetadata` instead fetched the superclass metadata via a demangling. Unfortunately, the metadata demangler only fetches _abstract_ metadata by default, and class metadata cannot be considered even non-transitively complete when its superclass reference not at that stage. If the superclass metadata is being completed on one thread, and a subclass is being completed on another, and the subclass installs the incomplete superclass metadata in its superclass field and attempts to register the subclass with the Objective-C runtime, the runtime may crash reading the incompletely-initialized superclass.
The proper fix is to make `swift_initClassMetadata` fetch non-transitively complete metadata for the superclass, delaying completion if that metadata is unavailable. Unfortunately, that can't actually be implemented on top of `swift_initClassMetadata` because that function has no means of reporting an unsatisfied dependency to its caller, and we can no longer simply change its signature without worrying about a small of internal code that might still be using it. We cannot simply perform a blocking metadata request in `swift_initClassMetadata` because it is deeply problematic to block within a metadata completion function. The solution is therefore to add a `swift_initClassMetadata2` which has the ability to report unsatisfied dependencies. That was done in #22386; this patch builds on that by teaching the compiler to generate code to actually use it. It is therefore not safe to use this patch if you might be running on an OS that only provides the old runtime function, but that should be a temporary Apple-internal problem.
Fixes rdar://47549859.
When -enable-anonymous-context-mangled-names is provided, emit mangled
names as part of the metadata of an anonymous context. This will allow
us to match textual mangled names to the metadata.
This is a backward-compatible ABI extension. Part of rdar://problem/38231646/.
Protocol descriptors for resilient protocols relatively-reference
default witness thunks, so when using -num-threads N with N > 1,
we must ensure the default witness thunk is emitted in the same
LLVM module.
Anonymous context descriptors were being treated as non-generic by
IRGen, which lead to problems for (file)private types within generic
types. Emit generic parameters and requirements for anonymous contexts
as well.
The runtime was mostly prepared for this, and the ABI already
accounted for it, so the runtime change is minor---it only affected
building a demangle tree from metadata.
Fixes rdar://problem/46853806.
