- Add RuntimeTarget template This will allow for converting between
metadata structures for native host and remote target architectures.
- Create InProcess and External templates for stored pointers
Add a few more types to abstract pointer access in the runtime
structures but keep native in-process pointer access the same as that
with a plain old pointer type.
There is now a notion of a "stored pointer", which is just the raw value
of the pointer, and the actual pointer type, which is used for loads.
Decoupling these allows us to fork the behavior when looking at metadata
in an external process, but keep things the same for the in-process
case.
There are two basic "runtime targets" that you can use to work with
metadata:
InProcess: Defines the pointer to be trivially a T* and stored as a
uintptr_t. A Metadata * is exactly as it was before, but defined via
AbstractMetadata<InProcess>.
External: A template that requires a target to specify its pointer size.
ExternalPointer: An opaque pointer in another address space that can't
(and shouldn't) be indirected with operator* or operator->. The memory
reader will fetch the data explicitly.
...and explicitly mark symbols we export, either for use by executables or for runtime-stdlib interaction. Until the stdlib supports resilience we have to allow programs to link to these SPI symbols.
These come in two categories of functions:
1. Comparison.
- swift_stdlib_unicode_compare_utf16_utf16
- swift_stdlib_unicode_compare_utf8_utf16
- swift_stdlib_unicode_compare_utf8_utf8
2. Hashing.
- swift_stdlib_unicode_hash
- swift_stdlib_unicode_hash_ascii
* Switch to calling `putchar_unlocked()` instead of `putchar()` for
actual printing. We're already locking stdout with `flockfile()`, so
there's no need for the redundant lock that `putchar()` uses.
* Add an explicit lock to the output stream in `dump()`. This means the
entire dump is printed with the lock held, which will prevent the
output of `dump()` from mixing with prints on other threads.
* Use `_debugPrint_unlocked()` instead of `debugPrint()` in
`_adHocPrint()`. The output stream is already locked while this
function is executing. Rename the function to `_adHocPrint_unlocked()`
to make this explicit.
* Use `targetStream.write()` and `_print_unlocked()` instead of
`print()` in `_dumpObject()`. This removes the redundant locking, and
also eliminates the creation of intermediate strings. Rename the
function to `_dumpObject_unlocked()` to make this explicit.
* Use `targetStream.write()`, `_print_unlocked()`, and
`_debugPrint_unlocked()` in `_dumpSuperclass()`. This removes the
redundant locking, and also eliminates the creation of intermediate
strings. Rename the function to `_dumpSuperclass_unlocked()` to make
this explicit.
* Use `_debugPrint_unlocked()` instead of `debugPrint()` in
`String.init(reflecting:)`. This shouldn't really make much of a
difference but it matches the usage of `_print_unlocked()` in
`String.init(_:)`.
The net result is that all printing is still covered under locks like
before, but stdout is never recursively locked. This should result in
slightly faster printing. In addition, `dump()` is now covered under a
single lock so it can't mix its output with prints from other threads.
Getting a superclass, instance extents, and whether a class is native-refcounted are all useful type API. De-underscore these functions and give them a consistent `swift[_objc]_class*` naming scheme.
This allows removal of the DebugDescription protocol which is invalid
because no classes actually conform to it. The problem is that we need
to send a debugDescription message to an NSObject without loading
Foundation. This is exactly what shims are for. A very simple shim
solves the problem.
Background: Clang has a set of base headers distributed with the compiler
that contain things like vector operations, stddef.h, and tgmath.h.
Swift also needs these headers in order to import C and Objective-C (not
really a surprise), so we symlink to them from lib/swift/clang/. When we
build installable packages, we actually copy them in.
Now the tricky part. Clang's headers are actually at a path like
"include/clang/3.6.0/include/tgmath.h". That "3.6.0" is the Clang version,
which allows multiple Clangs to be installed on a single system. Swift
currently links to the top-level directory, but of course it's only
guaranteed to work with a specific version of the Clang headers. So the
version number here is always the version of Clang we use to build Swift.
Rather than leave the (relatively meaningless) version number here, just
make the symlink point at the "3.6.0" directory rather than the "clang"
directory. This means Swift doesn't have to think about the version number
here at all.
rdar://problem/23223066
In cases where our major version of clang is different than the
installed clang this allows us to install the builtin headers ourselves.
This should be used judiciously, since it installs to a path 'owned' by
clang.

Revert "Add test cases to exercise the native String vs cocoa buffer String path."
Revert "stdlib: Add back a test I removed"
Revert "stdlib: Fix hasPrefix,hasSuffix tests"
Revert "stdlib: Add documentation for the cached ascii collation tables"
This reverts commit 31493, 31492, 31491, 31490, 31489.
There are linking errors in SwiftExternalProjects (we probably have to link
against libicucore somewhere).

Reapply of 31474 with a fix in _compareCocoaBuffer to use the bufferSizeRhs
variable instead of bufferSizeLhs for the right hand side buffer.
We no longer create intermediate NSString copies to compare and hash swift
Strings. Instead we call directly into the ICU library.
I measured a 1.2 to 2x improvement on dictionary benchmarks as a result of this.
The SuperChars benchmark is also about 1.2x faster because of this.
Pure ASCII comparison has gotten a little bit slower (20% on a pure comparison
micro-benchmark) because we no longer do a memcmp. Doing a memcmp on ASCII is
not the same as the default unicode collation. Instead we have to a string scan.
The default unicode collation does not order like ASCII does and ignores
characters (for example the \0 character).

The standard library has grown significantly, and we need a new
directory structure that clearly reflects the role of the APIs, and
allows future growth.
See stdlib/{public,internal,private}/README.txt for more information.
