Similarly to how we've always handled parameter types, we
now recursively expand tuples in result types and separately
determine a result convention for each result.
The most important code-generation change here is that
indirect results are now returned separately from each
other and from any direct results. It is generally far
better, when receiving an indirect result, to receive it
as an independent result; the caller is much more likely
to be able to directly receive the result in the address
they want to initialize, rather than having to receive it
in temporary memory and then copy parts of it into the
target.
The most important conceptual change here that clients and
producers of SIL must be aware of is the new distinction
between a SILFunctionType's *parameters* and its *argument
list*. The former is just the formal parameters, derived
purely from the parameter types of the original function;
indirect results are no longer in this list. The latter
includes the indirect result arguments; as always, all
the indirect results strictly precede the parameters.
Apply instructions and entry block arguments follow the
argument list, not the parameter list.
A relatively minor change is that there can now be multiple
direct results, each with its own result convention.
This is a minor change because I've chosen to leave
return instructions as taking a single operand and
apply instructions as producing a single result; when
the type describes multiple results, they are implicitly
bound up in a tuple. It might make sense to split these
up and allow e.g. return instructions to take a list
of operands; however, it's not clear what to do on the
caller side, and this would be a major change that can
be separated out from this already over-large patch.
Unsurprisingly, the most invasive changes here are in
SILGen; this requires substantial reworking of both call
emission and reabstraction. It also proved important
to switch several SILGen operations over to work with
RValue instead of ManagedValue, since otherwise they
would be forced to spuriously "implode" buffers.
The implementation of va_list is pretty inconsistent across platforms.
On linux-arm __gnuc_va_list is the type used. This change adds that to ClangImporter.
The change to the test is optional, but it dramatically improves the error message printed to the console when the test fails.
Finally, the change to the application of alignment padding is due to the fact that all ARM platforms other than iOS need AAPCS-complient alignemnt.

We now run a dead function elim before running any generic specializer. generic specializer generates some
prespecialized functions and explicitly keep them alive (i.e. make them not removeable by dead function elim)
However, the recently added dead function elimination gets rid of the calls which the prespecialization uses
to generate the prespecialization.
Create a caller with special name (avoid conflict) to make sure the specialization does happen.
Hopefully, eventually we will be able to move to a cleaner approach to do prespecialization.

When comparing two functions for overload resolution, break apart the
parameter lists to compare individual parameters rather than comparing
the tuples. This allows us to prefer functions with fewer arguments to
ones with more, defaulted or variadic arguments. That preference was
already encoded in the constraint optimizer, which led to some strange
behavior where the preference was expressed for function calls but not
for calls to initializers. Fixes rdar://problem/24128153.
The standard library change tweaks the anachronistic, unavailable
"print" variants somewhat. The only behavior change here is a slight
regression for cases like:
print(a: 1, b: 2)
where we used to produce a diagnostic:
Please wrap your tuple argument in parentheses: 'print((...))'
but we now get:
argument labels '(a:, b:)' do not match any available overloads
However, this regression will happen at some point *anyway*, if
SE-0029 (or anything else that removes the implicit tuple splat
operation) goes through.
after argc and argv are initialized.
The problem before is that the argument function is a global_init which can be moved
by the GlobalOpt optimization and thus broke the data dependence on argc and argv.

* Switch to calling `putchar_unlocked()` instead of `putchar()` for
actual printing. We're already locking stdout with `flockfile()`, so
there's no need for the redundant lock that `putchar()` uses.
* Add an explicit lock to the output stream in `dump()`. This means the
entire dump is printed with the lock held, which will prevent the
output of `dump()` from mixing with prints on other threads.
* Use `_debugPrint_unlocked()` instead of `debugPrint()` in
`_adHocPrint()`. The output stream is already locked while this
function is executing. Rename the function to `_adHocPrint_unlocked()`
to make this explicit.
* Use `targetStream.write()` and `_print_unlocked()` instead of
`print()` in `_dumpObject()`. This removes the redundant locking, and
also eliminates the creation of intermediate strings. Rename the
function to `_dumpObject_unlocked()` to make this explicit.
* Use `targetStream.write()`, `_print_unlocked()`, and
`_debugPrint_unlocked()` in `_dumpSuperclass()`. This removes the
redundant locking, and also eliminates the creation of intermediate
strings. Rename the function to `_dumpSuperclass_unlocked()` to make
this explicit.
* Use `_debugPrint_unlocked()` instead of `debugPrint()` in
`String.init(reflecting:)`. This shouldn't really make much of a
difference but it matches the usage of `_print_unlocked()` in
`String.init(_:)`.
The net result is that all printing is still covered under locks like
before, but stdout is never recursively locked. This should result in
slightly faster printing. In addition, `dump()` is now covered under a
single lock so it can't mix its output with prints from other threads.
The default mirror tries to access implementation details of the
generator, accessing the 'description' property of the storage, which is
an NSDictionary subclass. The default implementation of -[NSDictionary
description] tries to print the dictionary contents. But if the
Swift.Dictionary can't be bridged to NSDictionary, that causes a runtime
trap.
