to avoid some obvious redundancies. This also gives us a
more general framework with which to exploit other ways
in which metadata is known.

towards optimizing generic calls to derive things from the
'this' pointer, which is actually crucial for virtual
dispatch (to get all methods to agree about how the
implicit arguments are passed). Fix a number of assorted
bugs in metadata emission. Lots of assorted enhancements.
This was proving surprisingly difficult to actually tease
apart into smaller patches.

uncurrying level, which is something I find myself passing around
quite a bit. Make sure that it can propagate getter/setter
references in the same way.

the metadata objects for classes. This is currently only
done for methods defined in the main class body, and it's
(naturally) totally fragile, and it's screwed up in a
couple known ways w.r.t. generic classes: there's no
thunking when the overrider differs by abstraction from
the overridden method, and methods on classes currently
expect to get all the type arguments passed directly
and thus will disagree in signature from members of
non-generic classes. Also, of course, we're not using
any of this in the call infrastructure. But it's progress.
Swift SVN r2901
This is kindof a pain in a few places where the type system
doesn't propagate canonicality. Also, member initializations
are always direct-initializations and so are allowed to use
explicit constructors, which is a hole in our canonicality
tracking. But overall I like the idea of always working
with canonical types.
Swift SVN r2893
This requires us to potentially copy the value witness tables for
generic struct types as part of computing layout, but that's not
the end of the world (although it will rely on a future patch
to split value witnesses out from protocol witness tables).
Oh, and add a value witness for stride, changing Builtin.strideof
to use that.
Swift SVN r2829
In particular, prepare for storing real v-table-like information
in the heap metadata. Give the metadata object proper linkage
and emit it as part of emitting the class.
Adjust the manglings of constructors and destructors while I'm
at it.
Swift SVN r2628
by abstraction from the concrete return type.
This basically gets generic calls working totally as long
as there's no remapping required.
Swift SVN r2402
Mangling is still a hack, pending a better type AST. Fixed
a bug where arguments passed indirectly were not being destroyed
by the callee (when passed by value). Changed some of the protocol
signatures to use the generic opaque pointer type, making the
types a bit more self-documenting in the IR.
Swift SVN r2274
swift_retain calls. The pertinent difference is that the former can be
marked nocapture, allowing general LLVM optimizations more flexibility.
With this change, early-cse is able to zap 9 more instructions, and 3
more functions are able to be marked nocapture by functionattrs in the
stdlib.
Swift SVN r2043
match the actual entrypoints vended by the runtime:
1) there is no swift_slowRawAlloc
2) swift_deallocObject takes two arguments
Also, make all calls to swift_allocObject go through a common
function so that we can easily use optimized entrypoints if the
runtime provides them.
Swift SVN r1993
wrap it in an 'id' type in the standard library.
Also fix a bug noticed by inspection where initWithTake for
function types wasn't entering a cleanup for the taken value.
This probably doesn't matter for existing possibilities, but
it's potentially important under exceptions.
Swift SVN r1902
value witnesses goes.
There are three major remaining things to do to support protocols:
- laying out the actual protocol members
- emitting witnesse for the actual protocol members
- detecting uses of the actual protocol members and funnelling
them through the witnesses as appropriate
All this work was just to let us treat protocol types as
first-class values.
