Parameters (to methods, initializers, accessors, subscripts, etc) have always been represented
as Pattern's (of a particular sort), stemming from an early design direction that was abandoned.
Being built on top of patterns leads to patterns being overly complicated (e.g. tuple patterns
have to have varargs and default parameters) and make working on parameter lists complicated
and error prone. This might have been ok in 2015, but there is no way we can live like this in
2016.
Instead of using Patterns, carve out a new ParameterList and Parameter type to represent all the
parameter specific stuff. This simplifies many things and allows a lot of simplifications.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do this very incrementally, so this is a huge patch. The good
news is that it erases a ton of code, and the technical debt that went with it. Ignoring test
suite changes, we have:
77 files changed, 2359 insertions(+), 3221 deletions(-)
This patch also makes a bunch of wierd things dead, but I'll sweep those out in follow-on
patches.
Fixes <rdar://problem/22846558> No code completions in Foo( when Foo has error type
Fixes <rdar://problem/24026538> Slight regression in generated header, which I filed to go with 3a23d75.
Fixes an overloading bug involving default arguments and curried functions (see the diff to
Constraints/diagnostics.swift, which we now correctly accept).
Fixes cases where problems with parameters would get emitted multiple times, e.g. in the
test/Parse/subscripting.swift testcase.
The source range for ParamDecl now includes its type, which permutes some of the IDE / SourceModel tests
(for the better, I think).
Eliminates the bogus "type annotation missing in pattern" error message when a type isn't
specified for a parameter (see test/decl/func/functions.swift).
This now consistently parenthesizes argument lists in function types, which leads to many diffs in the
SILGen tests among others.
This does break the "sibling indentation" test in SourceKit/CodeFormat/indent-sibling.swift, and
I haven't been able to figure it out. Given that this is experimental functionality anyway,
I'm just XFAILing the test for now. i'll look at it separately from this mongo diff.
This commit adds a new expression (AvailabilityQueryExpr) and a single kind of
specification for when a block of code or function is available
(VersionConstraintAvailabilitySpec). We may add more kinds of specifications
in the future. At the moment, the AvailabilityQueryExpr allows only a
single platform to be queried; I will add support for multiple platforms
in a later commit.
This commit contains just the added AST nodes; no parsing, type checking, etc.
I’ve added assert(false && “Unimplemented”) for places where support for
AvailabilityQueryExpr will need to be added later.
Swift SVN r21760
This the first part for improving source location fidelity for types,
changes to follow:
-The Parser will not create any types, it will just create TypeReprs.
-The type checker will create the types by going through TypeReprs.
-IdentifierType will be removed.
Swift SVN r6112
A function argument clause is now one or more patterns (which
must be parenthesized and explicitly type all positions) not
separated by arrows; the first arrow then separates off the
return type.
Revisions to language reference forthcoming.
Swift SVN r1099
Module class. Add a new Module.cpp file to implement this (along with
the existing caching strategy, if you're curious). This eliminates the
parallel 'ModuleProvider' heirarchy.
