Similarly to how we've always handled parameter types, we
now recursively expand tuples in result types and separately
determine a result convention for each result.
The most important code-generation change here is that
indirect results are now returned separately from each
other and from any direct results. It is generally far
better, when receiving an indirect result, to receive it
as an independent result; the caller is much more likely
to be able to directly receive the result in the address
they want to initialize, rather than having to receive it
in temporary memory and then copy parts of it into the
target.
The most important conceptual change here that clients and
producers of SIL must be aware of is the new distinction
between a SILFunctionType's *parameters* and its *argument
list*. The former is just the formal parameters, derived
purely from the parameter types of the original function;
indirect results are no longer in this list. The latter
includes the indirect result arguments; as always, all
the indirect results strictly precede the parameters.
Apply instructions and entry block arguments follow the
argument list, not the parameter list.
A relatively minor change is that there can now be multiple
direct results, each with its own result convention.
This is a minor change because I've chosen to leave
return instructions as taking a single operand and
apply instructions as producing a single result; when
the type describes multiple results, they are implicitly
bound up in a tuple. It might make sense to split these
up and allow e.g. return instructions to take a list
of operands; however, it's not clear what to do on the
caller side, and this would be a major change that can
be separated out from this already over-large patch.
Unsurprisingly, the most invasive changes here are in
SILGen; this requires substantial reworking of both call
emission and reabstraction. It also proved important
to switch several SILGen operations over to work with
RValue instead of ManagedValue, since otherwise they
would be forced to spuriously "implode" buffers.
And use the new project_existential_box to get to the address value.
SILGen now generates a project_existential_box for each alloc_existential_box.
And IRGen re-uses the address value from the alloc_existential_box if the operand of project_existential_box is an alloc_existential_box.
This lets the generated code be the same as before.
And use project_box to get to the address value.
SILGen now generates a project_box for each alloc_box.
And IRGen re-uses the address value from the alloc_box if the operand of project_box is an alloc_box.
This lets the generated code be the same as before.
Other than that most changes of this (quite large) commit are straightforward.
Introduce a new attribute, swift3_migration, that lets us describe the
transformation required to map a Swift 2.x API into its Swift 3
equivalent. The only transformation understood now is "renamed" (to
some other declaration name), but there's a message field where we can
record information about other changes. The attribute can grow
somewhat (e.g., to represent parameter reordering) as we need it.
Right now, we do nothing but store and validate this attribute.
If a global variable in a module we are compiling has a type containing
a resilient value type from a different module, we don't know the size
at compile time, so we cannot allocate storage for the global statically.
Instead, we will use a buffer, just like alloc_stack does for archetypes
and resilient value types.
This adds a new SIL instruction but does not yet make use of it.
Having a separate address and container value returned from alloc_stack is not really needed in SIL.
Even if they differ we have both addresses available during IRGen, because a dealloc_stack is always dominated by the corresponding alloc_stack in the same function.
Although this commit quite large, most changes are trivial. The largest non-trivial change is in IRGenSIL.
This commit is a NFC regarding the generated code. Even the generated SIL is the same (except removed #0, #1 and @local_storage).
There's a buggy SIL verifier check that was previously tautological,
and it turns out that it's violated, apparently harmlessly. Since it
was already doing nothing, I've commented it out temporarily while
I figure out the right way to fix SILGen to get the invariant right.
Modeling nonescaping captures as @inout parameters is wrong, because captures are allowed to share state, unlike 'inout' parameters, which are allowed to assume to some degree that there are no aliases during the parameter's scope. To model this, introduce a new @inout_aliasable parameter convention to indicate an indirect parameter that can be written to, not only by the current function, but by well-typed, well-synchronized aliasing accesses too. (This is unrelated to our discussions of adding a "type-unsafe-aliasable" annotation to pointer_to_address to allow for safe pointer punning.)
This reflects the fact that the attribute's only for compiler-internal use, and isn't really equivalent to C's asm attribute, since it doesn't change the calling convention to be C-compatible.
At some point I want to propose a revised model for exports, but for now
just mark that support for '@exported' is still experimental and subject
to change. (Thanks, Max.)
SILPrinter was printing uses for all SIL values, except for SIL basic blocks arguments. Fill the gap and print uses for BB arguments as well. This makes reading and analyzing SIL easier.
Basic blocks may have multiple arguments, therefore print uses of each BB argument on separate lines - one line per BB argument.
The comment containing information about uses of a BB argument is printed on the line just above the basic block name, following the approach used for function_ref and other kinds of instructions, which have additional information printed on the line above the actual instruction.
The output now looks like:
// %0 // user: %3
// %1 // user: %9
bb0(%0 : $Int32, %1 : $UnsafeMutablePointer<UnsafeMutablePointer<Int8>>):

This improves support for promoting to and generating
unchecked_ref_cast so we no longer need unchecked_ref_bit_cast, which
will just go away in the next commit.

If the compiler can prove that a throwing function actually does not throw it can
replace a try_apply with an "apply [nothrow]". Such an apply_inst calls a function
with an error result but does not have the overhead of checking for the error case.
Currently this flag is not set, yet.
