- 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.
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.
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.
