<rdar://problem/22333281> QoI: improve diagnostic when contextual type of closure disagrees with arguments
In the common case where someone doesn't care about the argument
list to a closure, we now generate a tailored error message with a
fixit to introduce the necessary "_,_ in " nonsense at the start
of the closure. IMO ideally we wouldn't require this, but until we
fix that type checker issue, we should at least give people the
obvious fix.

we process contextual constraints when producing diagnostic. Formerly,
we would aggressively drop contextual type information on the floor under
the idea that it would reduce constraints on the system and make it more
likely to be solvable. However, this also has the downside of introducing
ambiguity into the system, and some expr nodes (notably closures) cannot
usually be solved without that contextual information.
In the new model, expr diagnostics are expected to handle the fact that
contextual information may be present, and bail out without diagnosing an
error if that is the case. This gets us more information into closures,
allowing more specific return type information, e.g. in the case in
test/expr/closure/closures.swift.
This approach also produces more correct diagnostics in a bunch of other
cases as well, e.g.:
- var c = [:] // expected-error {{type '[_ : _]' does not conform to protocol 'DictionaryLiteralConvertible'}}
+ var c = [:] // expected-error {{expression type '[_ : _]' is ambiguous without more context}}
and the examples in test/stmt/foreach.swift, test/expr/cast/as_coerce.swift,
test/expr/cast/array_iteration.swift, etc.
That said, this another two steps forward, one back thing. Because we
don't handle propagating sametype constraints from results of calls to their
arguments, we regress a couple of (admittedly weird) cases. This is now
tracked by:
<rdar://problem/22333090> QoI: Propagate contextual information in a call to operands
There is also the one-off narrow case tracked by:

specific when it fails, by printing a potentially partially resolved type for the
ambiguous expression in question, which it carries information. This can at least
tell what the ambiguous parts of the resultant type *are* in some cases (e.g. in
the Constraints/array_literal.swift case). That said, this diagnostic is still
admittedly not great.
This also exposes a couple of cases where we produce bogus diagnostics in general
(expr/cast/as_coerce.swift). The issue here is that these shouldn't be ambiguous
at all, they are being misreported due to 22320758), which I'll fix separately.

the regressions that r31105 introduced in the validation tests, as well as fixing a number
of other validation tests as well.
Introduce a new UnresolvedType to the type system, and have CSDiags start to use it
as a way to get more type information out of incorrect subexpressions. UnresolvedType
generally just propagates around the type system like a type variable:
- it magically conforms to all protocols
- it CSGens as an unconstrained type variable.
- it ASTPrints as _, just like a type variable.
The major difference is that UnresolvedType can be used outside the context of a
ConstraintSystem, which is useful for CSGen since it sets up several of them to
diagnose subexpressions w.r.t. their types.
For now, our use of this is extremely limited: when a closureexpr has no contextual
type available and its parameters are invalid, we wipe them out with UnresolvedType
(instead of the previous nulltype dance) to get ambiguities later on.
We also introduce a new FreeTypeVariableBinding::UnresolvedType approach for
constraint solving (and use this only in one place in CSDiags so far, to resolve
the callee of a CallExpr) which solves a system and rewrites any leftover type
variables as UnresolvedTypes. This allows us to get more precise information out,
for example, diagnosing:
func r22162441(lines: [String]) {
lines.map { line in line.fooBar() }
}
with: value of type 'String' has no member 'fooBar'
instead of: type of expression is ambiguous without more context
This improves a number of other diagnostics as well, but is just the infrastructural
stepping stone for greater things.

diagnoseGeneralFailure to be named diagnoseConstraintFailure and change how
it works:
Now it ranks unresolved constraints in the system based on kind (e.g. whether
they are favored, member constraints ahead of conversion constraints, etc) and
then tries to emit a diagnostic for each failure kind one after another.
This means that if there are multiple failed conversion constraints, but one
is obviously satisfiable, that we continue on to diagnose the next one. This
clears up a swath of embarassing diagnostics and refixes:
<rdar://problem/19658691> QoI: Incorrect diagnostic for calling nonexistent members on literals
Swift SVN r31046
and diagnoseGeneralConversionFailure(). The previous approach of trying
to dig into anchors would often lead to complaining about types at
different levels in the same diagnostic, and the complexity of the former
code isn't needed now that other changes have landed.

using it to improve closure diagnostics by inferring the types of otherwise

argument. For now we start with some of the most simple cases: single argument
calls. This dramatically improves the QoI for error messages in argument lists,
typically turning a error+note combo into a single specific error message.
Some minor improvements coming (and also generalizing this to n-ary calls), but it
is nice that all the infrastructure is starting to come together...

"unavoidable failure" path, along with Failure::DoesNotHaveNonMutatingMember and
just doing some basic disambiguation in CSDiags.
This provides some benefits:
- Allows us to plug in much more specific diagnostics for the existing "only has
mutating members" diagnostic, including producing notes for why the base expr
isn't mutable (see e.g. test/Sema/immutability.swift diffs).
- Corrects issues where we'd drop full decl name info for selector references.
- Wordsmiths diagnostics to not complain about "values of type Foo.Type" instead
complaining about "type Foo"
- Where before we would diagnose all failures with "has no member named", we now
distinguish between when there is no member, and when you can't use it. When you
can't use it, you get a vauge "cannot use it" diagnostic, but...
- This provides an infrastructure for diagnosing other kinds of problems (e.g.
trying to use a private member or a static member from an instance).
- Improves a number of cases where failed type member constraints would produce uglier
diagnostics than a different constraint failure would.
- Resolves a number of rdars, e.g. (and probably others):

which we have a contextual type that was the failure reason. These are a bit
longer but also more explicit than the previous diagnostics.
Swift SVN r30669
- Improve handling of if_expr in a couple of ways: teach constraint simplification
about IfThen/IfElse and teach CSDiags about the case when the cond expr doesn't match
BooleanType. This is rarely necessary, but CSDiags is all about cornercases, and this
does fix a problem in a testcase.
- Be a bit more specific about the constraint failure kind (e.g. say subtype) and when
we have a protocol conformance failure, emit a specific diagnostic about it, instead of
just saying that the types aren't convertible.
Swift SVN r30650
conversion failures, making a bunch of diagnostics more specific and useful.
UnavoidableFailures can be very helpful, but they can also be the first constraint
failure that the system happened to come across... which is not always the most
meaningful one. CSDiag's expr processing machinery has a generally better way of
narrowing down which ones make the most sense.
Swift SVN r30647
diagnose problems inside of them instead of punting on them completely.
This leads to substantially better error messages in many cases, fixing:
<rdar://problem/19870975> Incorrect diagnostic for failed member lookups within closures passed as arguments ("(_) -> _")
<rdar://problem/21883806> Bogus "'_' can only appear in a pattern or on the left side of an assignment" is back
<rdar://problem/20712541> QoI: Int/UInt mismatch produces useless error inside a block
and possibly others. We are not yet capitalizing on available type information we do
have about closure exprs, so there are some cases where we produce
"error: type of expression is ambiguous without more context"
when this isn't strictly true, but this is still a huge step forward.
Swift SVN r30547
we can start taking advantage of ambiguously typed subexpressions in CSDiags. We
start by validating the callee function of ApplyExprs, which substantially improves
our abilities to generate precise diagnostics about malformed calls.
This is the minimal introduction of this concept to CSDiags, a lot of refactoring
is yet to come, however, this is enough to resolve:
<rdar://problem/21080030> Bad diagnostic for invalid method call in boolean expression
<rdar://problem/21784170> Incongruous `unexpected trailing closure` error in `init` function which is cast and called without trailing closure.
one of the testcases from:
<rdar://problem/20789423> Unclear diagnostic for multi-statement closure with no return type
and a bunch of other places where we got weird "unexpected trailing closure"
diagnostics that made no sense. As usual, it is two steps forward and one step back,
as this exposed some other weird latent issues like:
<rdar://problem/21900971> QoI: Bogus conversion error in generics case
Swift SVN r30429
return statements, or a return statement with no operand.
Also, fix a special-case diagnostic about converting a return
expression to (1) only apply to converting the actual return
expression, not an arbitrary sub-expression, and (2) use the
actual operand and return types, not the drilled-down types
that caused the failure.
Swift SVN r30420
facilities used by operators etc. This required a bunch of changes to make
the diagnostics changes strictly an improvement:
- Teach the new path about calls to TypeExprs.
- Teach evaluateCloseness some simple things about varargs.
- Make the generic diagnosis logic produce a better error when there is
exactly one match.
Overall, the resultant diagnostics are a step forward: we now produce candidate
set notes more uniformly, and the messages about some existing ones are
more specific. This is just another stepping stone towards progress though.
Swift SVN r30057
- Remove a weird special case for literals from TypeChecker::typeCheckCondition.
- Enhance FailureDiagnosis::getTypeOfIndependentSubExpression to know about situations
where recursive type checks fail (in some nested situation) but still produce a type
for the top level of the expr tree.
- Remove dead code from CSApply now that you can't branch on Builtin.Int1.
The first & second combine to slightly improve one case I've been looking at in
test/expr/expressions.swift.
Swift SVN r29860
- Fix TypeCheckExpr.cpp to be more careful when propagating sugar from an
argument to the result of the function. We don't want to propagate parens,
because they show up in diagnostics later.
- Restructure FailureDiagnosis::diagnoseFailure() to strictly process the tree
in depth first order. Before it would only do this if contextual typing was
unavailable, leading to unpredictable inconsistencies between diagnostics.
- Always perform diagnoseContextualConversionError early, as part of the thing
that calls the visitor, instead of in each visit method. This may change in
the future, but is a simplification for now.
- Make the operator processing code handle the "candidate is an exact match"
case by emitting a diagnostic indicating that the result type of the operator
must not match expectations, instead of emitting the silly things like
"binary operator '&' cannot be applied to two Int operands" which is obviously
false.
These changes lead to minor improvements across the testsuite, and should make the
diagnostics more predictable for more complex real-world ones, but I haven't gone
through the radars yet.
Major missing pieces:
- CallExpr isn't using the same logic that the operators are.
- When you have a near match (only one argument mismatches) we should specifically
complain about that argument, instead of spewing an entire argument list.
- The noescape function attr diagnostic is being emitted twice now.
