Debug info uses a special mangling where type aliases can be
represented without being desugared; attempt to reconstruct
the TypeAliasType in this case.
When an anonymous context descriptor provides a mangled name, use that
mangled name to provide the private declaration name for its child context.
This allows us to resolve private type names correctly when the corresponding
anonymous context has its mangled name.
Fixes rdar://problem/38231646.
We should also allow references via manglings just to cover the
general case if we need it, but this is useful on its own so that
we can emit a reference to any natively-declared Swift type.
Right now we expect that every class and protocol has a field
descriptor that tells us if the entity is @objc or not.
For imported types, the descriptor will not exist if we did not
directly emit a field whose concrete type contains the imported
type. For example, in lldb, we might have a generic type whose
runtime substituted type includes an imported type.
In this case, TypeLowering would fail to produce a layout because
it did not find a field descriptor for the imported type.
A better approach is to have the TypeDecoder call a different
factory method for imported types, and handle them specially in
TypeLowering, bypassing the field type metadata altogether.
When building the remote mirror for Windows, the build would fail due to the
symbol resolution being slightly different on Windows. Explicitly qualify the
name to resolve the ambiguity. This reapirs the build of the remote mirror for
Windows.
Extending the mangling of symbolic references to also include indirect
symbolic references. This allows mangled names to refer to context
descriptors (both type and protocol) not in the current source file.
For now, only permit indirect symbolic references within the current module,
because remote mirrors (among other things) is unable to handle relocations.

The superclass descriptor reference in class context descriptors is only used
for metadata bound computations when the superclass is resilient. Only
include the superclass descriptor reference when the class has a resilient
superclass, using a trailing record. It’s a tiny space savings for
classes that don’t have resilient superclasses.
Like we did for structs, make it so that tuple types can also get extra inhabitants from whichever element with the most, not only the first. This lets us move all of the extra inhabitant handling functionality between structs and tuples in IRGen up to the common RecordTypeInfo CRTP base.
- Instead of keeping multiple flags in the type descriptor flags,
just keep a single flag indicating the presence of additional
import information after the name.
- That import information consists of a sequence of null-terminated
C strings, terminated by an empty string (i.e. by a double null
terminator), each prefixed with a character describing its purpose.
- In addition to the symbol namespace and related entity name,
include the ABI name if it differs from the user-facing name of the
type, and make the name the user-facing Swift name.
There's a remaining issue here that isn't great: we don't correctly
represent the parent relationship between error types and their codes,
and instead we just use the Clang module as the parent. But I'll
leave that for a later commit.
Having the parent nodes available when building children is
sometimes useful, as I'll show soon. It also naturally avoids the
weird re-use of local variables in this function that made it so
delightfully difficult to read.
- `swift_getForeignTypeMetadata` is now a request/response function.
- The initialization function is now a completion function, and the
pointer to it has moved into the type descriptor.
- The cache variable is no longer part of the ABI; it's an
implementation detail of the access function.
- The two points above mean that there is no special header on foreign
type metadata and therefore that they can be marked constant when
there isn't something about them that needs to be initialized.
The only foreign-metadata initialization we actually do right now is
of the superclass field of a foreign class, and since that relationship
is a proper DAG, it's not actually possible to have recursive
initialization problems. But this is the right long-term thing to do,
and it removes one of the last two clients of once-based initialization.
As part of this, rename TypeMetadataRecordKind to TypeReferenceKind
and consistently give it three bits of storage.
The better modelling of these type references appears to have been
sufficient to make dynamic conformance checks succeed, which is good
but unexpected.
Rather than storing a mangled name in a Swift protocol descriptor,
which encodes information that is redundant with the context of the
protocol, store an unmangled name as in nominal type descriptors. Update
the various places where this name is used to extract the demangle
tree from the context descriptors.
Reimplement protocol descriptors for Swift protocols as a kind of
context descriptor, dropping the Objective-C protocol compatibility
layout. The new protocol descriptors have several advantages over the
current implementation:
* They drop all of the unused fields required for layout-compatibility
with Objective-C protocols.
* They encode the full requirement signature of the protocol. This
maintains more information about the protocol itself, including
(e.g.) correctly encoding superclass requirements.
* They fit within the general scheme of context descriptors, rather than
being their own thing, which allows us to share more code with
nominal type descriptors.
* They only use relative pointers, so they’re smaller and can be placed
in read-only memory
Implements rdar://problem/38815359.
When reading the protocol metadata from existential type metadata,
check the “isObjC” bit and handle the reading of the Objective-C
protocol name (using TargetObjCProtocolPrefix) separately from the reading the name of a Swift protocol (using TargetProtocolDescriptor).
More preparation for separating the layout of these two entities.
Use ProtocolDescriptorRefs within the runtime representation of
existential type metadata (TargetExistentialTypeMetadata) instead of
bare protocol descriptor pointers. Start rolling out the use of
ProtocolDescriptorRef in a few places in the runtime that touch this
code. Note that we’re not yet establishing any strong invariants on
the TargetProtocolDescriptorRef instances.
While here, replace TargetExistentialTypeMetadata’s hand-rolled pointer
arithmetic with swift::ABI::TrailingObjects and centralize knowledge of
its layout better.
Clang-importer-synthesized declarations get an extra tag character included in their mangling, which was not being preserved in type context descriptors. This caused runtime lookup for these synthesized types to fail. Fix this by adding the tag information to type context descriptors and teaching the runtime to match it up when fetching metadata by mangled name. Fixes rdar://problem/40878715.
We want to be able to potentially introduce new metadata kinds in future Swift compilers, so a runtime ought to be able to degrade gracefully in the face of metadata kinds it doesn't know about. Remove attempts to exhaustively switch over metadata kinds and instead treat unknown metadata kinds as opaque.
* Change the RemoteMirror API to have extensible data layout callback
* Use DLQ_Get prefix on DataLayoutQueryType enum values
* Simplify MemoryReaderImpl and synthesize minimalDataLayoutQueryFunction
Now that every foreign type has a type context descriptor, we can use that for a uniquing key instead of a dedicated mangled string, saving some code size especially in code that makes heavy use of imported types. rdar://problem/37537241
Change the "metadata base offset" variable into a "class metadata bounds"
variable that contains the base offset and the +/- bounds on the class.
Link this variable from the class descriptor when the class has a resilient
superclass; otherwise, store the +/- bounds there. Use this variable to
compute the immediate-members offset for various runtime queries. Teach the
runtime to fill it in lazily and remove the code to compute it from the
generated code for instantiation. Identify generic arguments with the start
of the immediate class metadata members / end of the {struct,enum} metadata
header and remove the generic-arguments offset from generic type descriptors.
Minimize the generic class metadata template by removing the
class header and base-class members. Add back the set of
information that's really required for instantiation.
Teach swift_allocateGenericClass how to allocate classes without
superclass metadata. Reorder generic initialization to establish
a stronger phase-ordering between allocation (the part that doesn't
really care about the generic arguments) and initialization (the
part that really does care about the generic arguments and therefore
might need to be delayed to handle metadata cycles).
A similar thing needs to happen for resilient class relocation.
This is yet another waypoint on the path towards the final
generic-metadata design. The immediate goal is to make the
pattern a private implementation detail and to give the runtime
more visibility into the allocation and caching of generic types.
