MSVC does not realize that the switch is exhaustive and requires that
the path is explicitly marked as unreachable. This silences the C4715
warning ("not all control paths return a value").
The differentiation transform does the following:
- Canonicalizes differentiability witnesses by filling in missing derivative
function entries.
- Canonicalizes `differentiable_function` instructions by filling in missing
derivative function operands.
- If necessary, performs automatic differentiation: generating derivative
functions for original functions.
- When encountering non-differentiability code, produces a diagnostic and
errors out.
Partially resolves TF-1211: add the main canonicalization loop.
To incrementally stage changes, derivative functions are currently created
with empty bodies that fatal error with a nice message.
Derivative emitters will be upstreamed separately.
SIL differentiability witnesses are a new top-level SIL construct mapping
"original" SIL functions to derivative SIL functions.
SIL differentiability witnesses have the following components:
- "Original" `SILFunction`.
- SIL linkage.
- Differentiability parameter indices (`IndexSubset`).
- Differentiability result indices (`IndexSubset`).
- Derivative `GenericSignature` representing differentiability generic
requirements (optional).
- JVP derivative `SILFunction` (optional).
- VJP derivative `SILFunction` (optional).
- "Is serialized?" bit.
This patch adds the `SILDifferentiabilityWitness` data structure, with
documentation, parsing, and printing.
Resolves TF-911.
Todos:
- TF-1136: upstream `SILDifferentiabilityWitness` serialization.
- TF-1137: upstream `SILDifferentiabilityWitness` verification.
- TF-1138: upstream `SILDifferentiabilityWitness` SILGen from
`@differentiable` and `@derivative` attributes.
- TF-20: robust mangling for `SILDifferentiabilityWitness` names.
