Type annotations for instruction operands are omitted, e.g.
```
%3 = struct $S(%1, %2)
```
Operand types are redundant anyway and were only used for sanity checking in the SIL parser.
But: operand types _are_ printed if the definition of the operand value was not printed yet.
This happens:
* if the block with the definition appears after the block where the operand's instruction is located
* if a block or instruction is printed in isolation, e.g. in a debugger
The old behavior can be restored with `-Xllvm -sil-print-types`.
This option is added to many existing test files which check for operand types in their check-lines.
It lowers let property accesses of classes.
Lowering consists of two tasks:
* In class initializers, insert `end_init_let_ref` instructions at places where all let-fields are initialized.
This strictly separates the life-range of the class into a region where let fields are still written during
initialization and a region where let fields are truly immutable.
* Add the `[immutable]` flag to all `ref_element_addr` instructions (for let-fields) which are in the "immutable"
region. This includes the region after an inserted `end_init_let_ref` in an class initializer, but also all
let-field accesses in other functions than the initializer and the destructor.
This pass should run after DefiniteInitialization but before RawSILInstLowering (because it relies on `mark_uninitialized` still present in the class initializer).
Note that it's not mandatory to run this pass. If it doesn't run, SIL is still correct.
Simplified example (after lowering):
bb0(%0 : @owned C): // = self of the class initializer
%1 = mark_uninitialized %0
%2 = ref_element_addr %1, #C.l // a let-field
store %init_value to %2
%3 = end_init_let_ref %1 // inserted by lowering
%4 = ref_element_addr [immutable] %3, #C.l // set to immutable by lowering
%5 = load %4
Codegen is the same, but `begin_dealloc_ref` consumes the operand and produces a new SSA value.
This cleanly splits the liferange to the region before and within the destructor of a class.
Although nonescaping closures are representationally trivial pointers to their
on-stack context, it is useful to model them as borrowing their captures, which
allows for checking correct use of move-only values across the closure, and
lets us model the lifetime dependence between a closure and its captures without
an ad-hoc web of `mark_dependence` instructions.
During ownership elimination, We eliminate copy/destroy_value instructions and
end the partial_apply's lifetime with an explicit dealloc_stack as before,
for compatibility with existing IRGen and non-OSSA aware passes.
This change separates out the formation of the generic signature and
substitutions for a SIL substituted function type as a pre-pass
before doing the actual function type lowering. The only input we
really need to form this signature is the original abstraction pattern
that a type is being lowered against, and pre-computing it should make
the code less side-effecty and confusing. It also allows us to handle
generic nominal types in a more robust way; we transfer over all of
the nominal type requirements to the generalized generic signature,
then when recursively visiting the bindings, we same-type-constrain
the generic parameters used in those requirements to the newly-generalized
generic arguments. This ensures that the minimized signature preserves
any non-trivial requirements imposed by the nominal type, such as
conditional conformances on its type arguments, same-type constraints
among associated types, etc.
This approach does lead to less-than-optimal generalized generic
signatures getting generated, since nominal type generic arguments
get same-type-bound either to other generic arguments or fixed to
concrete types almost always. It would be useful to do a minimization
pass on the final generic signature to eliminate these unnecessary
generic arguments, but that can be done in a follow-up PR.
While the comment is correct to state that this won't enable any
new optimizations with -Onone, it does enable IRGen's lazy
function emission, which is important for 'reasync' functions,
which we don't want to emit at all even at -Onone.
This fixes debug stdlib builds with the new reasync versions
of the &&, || and ?? operators.
In order to allow this, I've had to rework the syntax of substituted function types; what was previously spelled `<T> in () -> T for <X>` is now spelled `@substituted <T> () -> T for <X>`. I think this is a nice improvement for readability, but it did require me to churn a lot of test cases.
Distinguishing the substitutions has two chief advantages over the existing representation. First, the semantics seem quite a bit clearer at use points; the `implicit` bit was very subtle and not always obvious how to use. More importantly, it allows the expression of generic function types that must satisfy a particular generic abstraction pattern, which was otherwise impossible to express.
As an example of the latter, consider the following protocol conformance:
```
protocol P { func foo() }
struct A<T> : P { func foo() {} }
```
The lowered signature of `P.foo` is `<Self: P> (@in_guaranteed Self) -> ()`. Without this change, the lowered signature of `A.foo`'s witness would be `<T> (@in_guaranteed A<T>) -> ()`, which does not preserve information about the conformance substitution in any useful way. With this change, the lowered signature of this witness could be `<T> @substituted <Self: P> (@in_guaranteed Self) -> () for <A<T>>`, which nicely preserves the exact substitutions which relate the witness to the requirement.
When we adopt this, it will both obviate the need for the special witness-table conformance field in SILFunctionType and make it far simpler for the SILOptimizer to devirtualize witness methods. This patch does not actually take that step, however; it merely makes it possible to do so.
As another piece of unfinished business, while `SILFunctionType::substGenericArgs()` conceptually ought to simply set the given substitutions as the invocation substitutions, that would disturb a number of places that expect that method to produce an unsubstituted type. This patch only set invocation arguments when the generic type is a substituted type, which we currently never produce in type-lowering.
My plan is to start by producing substituted function types for accessors. Accessors are an important case because the coroutine continuation function is essentially an implicit component of the function type which the current substitution rules simply erase the intended abstraction of. They're also used in narrower ways that should exercise less of the optimizer.
