There's a buggy SIL verifier check that was previously tautological,
and it turns out that it's violated, apparently harmlessly. Since it
was already doing nothing, I've commented it out temporarily while
I figure out the right way to fix SILGen to get the invariant right.
This centralizes the entrypoints for creating SILFunctions. Creating a
SILFunction is intimately tied to a specific SILModule, so it makes sense to
either centralize the creation on SILModule or SILFunction. Since a SILFunction
is in a SILModule, it seems more natural to put it on SILModule.
I purposely created a new override on SILMod that exactly matches the signature
of SILFunction::create so that beyond the extra indirection through SILMod, this
change should be NFC. We can refactor individual cases in later iterations of
refactoring.
The drivers for this change are providing a simpler API to SIL pass
authors, having a more efficient of the in-memory representation,
and ruling out an entire class of common bugs that usually result
in hard-to-debug backend crashes.
Summary
-------
SILInstruction
Old New
+---------------+ +------------------+ +-----------------+
|SILInstruction | |SILInstruction | |SILDebugLocation |
+---------------+ +------------------+ +-----------------+
| ... | | ... | | ... |
|SILLocation | |SILDebugLocation *| -> |SILLocation |
|SILDebugScope *| +------------------+ |SILDebugScope * |
+---------------+ +-----------------+
We’re introducing a new class SILDebugLocation which represents the
combination of a SILLocation and a SILDebugScope.
Instead of storing an inline SILLocation and a SILDebugScope pointer,
SILInstruction now only has one SILDebugLocation pointer. The APIs of
SILBuilder and SILDebugLocation guarantees that every SILInstruction
has a nonempty SILDebugScope.
Developer-visible changes include:
SILBuilder
----------
In the old design SILBuilder populated the InsertedInstrs list to
allow setting the debug scopes of all built instructions in bulk
at the very end (as the responsibility of the user). In the new design,
SILBuilder now carries a "current debug scope" state and immediately
sets the debug scope when an instruction is inserted.
This fixes a use-after-free issue with with SIL passes that delete
instructions before destroying the SILBuilder that created them.
Because of this, SILBuilderWithScopes no longer needs to be a template,
which simplifies its call sites.
SILInstruction
--------------
It is neither possible or necessary to manually call setDebugScope()
on a SILInstruction any more. The function still exists as a private
method, but is only used when splicing instructions from one function
to another.
Efficiency
----------
In addition to dropping 20 bytes from each SILInstruction,
SILDebugLocations are now allocated in the SILModule's bump pointer
allocator and are uniqued by SILBuilder. Unfortunately repeat compiles
of the standard library already vary by about 5% so I couldn’t yet
produce reliable numbers for how much this saves overall.

This re-applies commit r31763 with a change to the predicate we
use for determining the linkage of a definition. It turns out we
could have definitions with a Clang body that were still public,
so instead of checking for a Clang body just check if the Clang
declaration is externally visible or not.
Swift SVN r31777
If an external SIL function has a Clang-generated body, I think this
means we have a static function, and we want to use Shared linkage,
not Public.
Add a new flag to SILFunction for this and plumb it through to
appease assertions from SILVerifier.
Swift SVN r31763
This patch implements the pre-specialization for the most popular generic types from the standard library. If there are invocations of generic functions from the standard library in the user-code and the compiler can find the specialized, optimized versions of these functions, then calls of generic functions are simply replaced by the calls of the specialized functions.
This feature is supposed to be used with -Onone to produce much faster (e.g. 5x-10x faster) executables in debug builds without impacting the compile time. In fact, the compile-time is even improved, because IRGen has less work to do. The feature can be considered a light-weight version of the -Odebug, because pre-specialization is limited in scope, but does not have a potentially negative compile-time impact compared to -Odebug. It is planned to enable it by default in the future.
This feature is disabled by default for the time being. It can be enabled by using a hidden flag: -Xllvm -use-prespecialized.
The implementation consists of two logical steps:
- When the standard library is being built, we force a creation of specializations for the most popular generic types from the stdlib, e.g. Arrays of integer and floating point types, Range<Int>, etc. The list of specializations is not fixed and can be easily altered by editing the Prespecialized.swift file, which is responsible for forcing the specialization of generic types (this is simple solution for now, until we have a proper annotation to indicate which specializations of a given generic type or function we want to generate by means of the pre-specialization). These specializations are then optimized and preserved in the stdlib dylib and in the Swift SIL module. The size increase of the stdlib due to creation of pre-specializations is currently about 3%-7%.
- When a user-code is being compiled with -Onone, the compiler would run a generic specializer over the user-code. If there are calls of generic functions from the standard library, the specializer would check if there is an existing specialization matching these invocations. If such a specialization is found, the original call is replaced by the call of this more efficient specialized version.
Swift SVN r30309
The old SIL-based approach failed to recognize function arguments of
SIL-inlined functions as arguments.
Post-Xcode 7 it would be better to lower this information during SILGen
and emit a debug_value for every function argument so we don't need
to reconstruct them after all the SIL optimizations.

The two ways functions are created currently is via the two
SILModule::getOrCreateFunction(). One of the methods, takes in a raw mangled
name and uses that to create the function. The other takes in a SILDeclRef to
generate the mangled name. Most function emission (besides some thunk creation
functions) goes through the latter. For now we update the map there. This is ok,
since this map will only be used to provide extra verification that guaranteed
self is occuring everywhere that it is supposed to (since constructors and
destructors still have @owned self).
Swift SVN r27240
These aren't really orthogonal concerns--you'll never have a @thick @cc(objc_method), or an @objc_block @cc(witness_method)--and we have gross decision trees all over the codebase that try to hopscotch between the subset of combinations that make sense. Stop the madness by eliminating AbstractCC and folding its states into SILFunctionTypeRepresentation. This cleans up a ton of code across the compiler.
I couldn't quite eliminate AbstractCC's information from AST function types, since SIL type lowering transiently created AnyFunctionTypes with AbstractCCs set, even though these never occur at the source level. To accommodate type lowering, allow AnyFunctionType::ExtInfo to carry a SILFunctionTypeRepresentation, and arrange for the overlapping representations to share raw values.
In order to avoid disturbing test output, AST and SILFunctionTypes are still printed and parsed using the existing @thin/@thick/@objc_block and @cc() attributes, which is kind of gross, but lets me stage in the real source-breaking change separately.
Swift SVN r27095
This makes it easier to diff and read SIL output. Since it is behind the -emit-sorted-sil
flag, there is no effect on normal compilation.
Swift SVN r26101
This can only happen in the closure specializer and the generic
specializer since all other specializations either copy the linkage of
the original function (function signature opts) or clone closures/thunks
which have shared linkage.
I put in a verifier check that makes sure we do not create shared
versions of these functions. The real problem has to do with serializing
these sorts of functions, but since we always serialize shared
functions, it makes sense to just ban it.

This is also useful in general SIL passes when generating thunks. I am going to
use this in function signature optimization and closure specialization.
Swift SVN r25356
This will have an effect on inlining into thunks.
Currently this flag is set for witness thunks and thunks from function signature optimization.
No change in code generation, yet.
Swift SVN r24998
1. Eliminate unused variable warnings.
2. Change field names to match capitalization of the rest of the field names in the file.
3. Change method names to match rest of the file.
4. Change get,set method for a field to match the field type.
Swift SVN r24501
The underlying problem is that e.g. even if a method is private but its class is public, the method can be referenced from another module - from the vtable of a derived class.
So far we handled this by setting the SILLinkage of such methods according to the visibility of the class. But this prevented dead method elimination.
Now I set the SILLinkage according to the visibility of the method. This enables dead method elimination, but it requires the following:
1) Still set the linkage in llvm so that it can be referenced from outside.
2) If the method is dead and eliminated, create a stub for it (which calls swift_reportMissingMethod).
Swift SVN r23889
SILMetadata is the base class with a single enum member (MDKind).
SILBranchNode is the derived class with additional members:
unsigned NumOperands
an array of uint32_t
A static member function SILBranchNode::get is implemented to get or create
SILBranchNode. All SILMetadata created are uniqued and saved in SILModule's
member variable:
llvm::FoldingSet<SILMetadata> Metadatas
Usage of SILMetadta by SILInstruction is captured in SILModule's member variable:
llvm::DenseMap<const SILInstruction *, SILMetadata *> MetadataStore
This is similar to LLVM's Metadata. Another option is to add a SILMetadata* to
SILInstruction. The disadvantage is the waste of space when we don't have PGO on.
This commit also enables parsing and printing of SILMetadata.
We add keyword sil_metadata to define SILMetadata:
sil_metadata !0 = {"branch_weights", 3, 5}
For parsing, we add a map in SILModule
llvm::DenseMap<unsigned, SILMetadata *> NumberedMetadata
that maps from ID to SILMetadata* to help matching usage of "!id" in SILFunction
with definition of "!id" in sil_metadata section.
For printing, we assign IDs to SILMetadata at SILModule scope, we then pass in
an optional argument of
llvm::DenseMap<const SILMetadata *, unsigned> *MetadataMap
to SILFunction::print in order to get the ID of SILMetadata used in
SILInstruction.
Post-commit review will be appreciated.
