To facilitate the removal of the BooleanType conformance from Optional<T>, we'll first need to support
equality comparisons between the 'nil' literal and optionals with non-equatable element types.
We can accomplish this via three changes:
- New overloads for "==" and "!=" that we can resolve against non-equatable optionals
- A tweak to our overload resolution algorithm that, when all other aspects of two overloads are
considered equal, would favor the overload with a more "constrained" type parameter. This allows
us to avoid ambiguities between generic overloads that are distinct, but whose parameters do not
share a pairwise subtype relationship.
- A gross hack to favor overloads that do not require bindings to 'nil' when presented with an
otherwise ambiguous set of solutions. (Essentially, in the face of a potential ambiguity, favor solutions
that do not require bindings to _OptionalNilComparisonType over those that do.)
The third change is only necessary because we currently lack the ability to specify "negative" or
otherwise more expressive constraints, so we'll want to rethink the hack post-1.0. (I've filed
rdar://problem/17769974 to cover its removal.)

We still have type checker support for user-defined conversions,
because the importer still synthesizes __conversion functions for CF
<-> NS classes.

When we see a '.member' expression in optional context, look for the member in the optional's object type if it isn't found in Optional itself. <rdar://problem/16125392>

We need to admit a potential inout-to-pointer conversion even if the inout references an array, because we can have pointers to arrays. Add a short-circuit so that array-to-pointer conversions always beat inout-to-pointer conversions; both solutions could otherwise be considered valid for an UnsafePointer<Void>, and passing a pointer to the array reference rather than to the array data would be very bad.
Swift SVN r19270
Add primitive type-checker rules for pointer arguments. An UnsafePointer argument accepts:
- an UnsafePointer value of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is UnsafePointer<Void>,
- an inout parameter of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is UnsafePointer<Void>, or
- an inout Array parameter of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is UnsafePointer<Void>.
A ConstUnsafePointer argument accepts:
- an UnsafePointer, ConstUnsafePointer, or AutoreleasingUnsafePointer value of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is ConstUnsafePointer<Void>,
- an inout parameter of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is ConstUnsafePointer<Void>, or
- an inout or non-inout Array parameter of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is ConstUnsafePointer<Void>.
An AutoreleasingUnsafePointer argument accepts:
- an AutoreleasingUnsafePointer value of matching element type, or
- an inout parameter of matching element type.
This disrupts some error messages in unrelated tests, which is tracked by <rdar://problem/17380520>.

This makes categories of NSString, NSArray, and NSDictionary available
on String, Array, and Dictionary. Note that we only consider
categories not present in the Objective-C Foundation module, because
we want to manually map those APIs ourselves. Hence, no changes to the
NSStringAPI. Implements <rdar://problem/13653329>.

One difficulty in generating reasonable diagnostic data for type check failures has been the fact that many constraints had been synthesized without regard for where they were rooted in the program source. The result of this was that even though we would store failure information for specific constraints, we wouldn't emit it for lack of a source location. By making location data a non-optional component of constraints, we can begin diagnosing type check errors closer to their point of failure.
Swift SVN r18751
This is a better solution to <rdar://problem/16899681> because the
runtime magic is limited to implementing the witnesses of this
conformance.
The type checker fixes are because we can end up using unchecked
optionals in more places, via bridging, than we could before.
Swift SVN r18120
Introduce some infrastructure that allows us to speculatively apply
localized fixes to expressions during constraint solving to fix minor
typos and omissions. At present, we're able to introduce the fixes
during constraint simplification, prefer systems with fewer fixes when
there are multiple fixes, and diagnose the fixes with Fix-Its.
Actually rewriting the AST to reflect what the Fix-Its are doing is
still not handled.
As a start, introduce a fix that adds '()' if it appears to have been
forgotton, producing a diagnostic like this if it works out:
t.swift:8:3: error: function produces expected type 'B'; did you mean
to call it with '()'?
f(g)
^
()
Note that we did regress in one test case
(test/NameBinding/multi-file.swift), because that diagnostic was
getting lucky with the previous formulation.

...and teach the type-checker to prefer variables to functions.
This matters in Objective-C, where you may have these two members:
@property NSURL *URL;
- (void)URL:(NSURL *)url resourceDidFailLoadingWithReason:(NSString *)reason;
This doesn't happen often, but we should do the right thing when it does.
We still won't import a property named 'foo' if there is already a method
'-foo' that takes no arguments.

That is, NSObject.isEqual(someObj) should call +isEqual:, not be equivalent
to someObj.isEqual, unless there's a type context that says otherwise.

Change GenericFunctionType to reference a GenericSignature instead of containing its generic parameters and requirements in-line, and clean up some interface type APIs that awkwardly returned ArrayRef pairs to instead return GenericSignatures instead.

its basic logic in libAST, which both makes it easier to
implement and makes it possible to use in the places that
should care about it, i.e. in IR-gen and SIL-gen.
Per Doug, none of the places that were introducing
trivial-subtype constraints really needed to do so rather
than just using subtype constraints.

As part of this, take away the poor attempt at recovering by adding an
explicit protocol conformance. The recovery mode isn't all that useful
in a system with only explicit conformance, and it messes with
diagnostics further down the line. We can bring it back later once
we're happy with explicit conformance checking.

(various) FunctionType::get's, ArrayType::get,
ArraySliceType::get, OptionalType::get, and a few
other places.
There is more to be done here, but this is all I plan to do
for now.

This shaves about 10% off the number of solution states explored when
type-checking the standard library, although it doesn't improve
overall time by much. In a more targeted benchmark, 1 + 2.0 + 1, we
get a 21% speedup.
