To guard the new UnsafeMutablePointer.mutableSpan APIs.
This allows older compilers to ignore the new APIs. Otherwise, the type checker
will crash on the synthesized _read accessor for a non-Escapable type:
error: cannot infer lifetime dependence on the '_read' accessor because 'self'
is BitwiseCopyable, specify '@lifetime(borrow self)'
I don't know why the _read is synthesized in these cases, but apparently it's
always been that way.
Fixes: rdar://153773093 ([nonescapable] add a compiler feature to guard
~Escapable accessors when self is trivial)
Correctly generate dependency tracking for functions that return a non-Escapable
existential, such as:
func getMutableSpanWithOpaqueReturn(_ array: inout [Int]) -> any PAny & ~Copyable & ~Escapable
Previously, dependency insertion assumed that @out storage always initialized an
alloc_stack. But existentials are always boxed.
First, add a diagnostic to catch any missing dependency insertions now that
we're past the bootstrapping phase.
Then, generalize handling of dependency insertion to handle any access base as
long as it has a recognizable address source.
Fixes rdar://150388126 (Missing mark_dependence for opaque lifetime dependent
value)
Allow lifetime depenendence on types that are BitwiseCopyable & Escapable.
This is unsafe in the sense that the compiler will not diagnose any use of the
dependent value outside of the lexcial scope of the source value. But, in
practice, dependence on an UnsafePointer is often needed. In that case, the
programmer should have already taken responsibility for ensuring the lifetime of the
pointer over all dependent uses. Typically, an unsafe pointer is valid for the
duration of a closure. Lifetime dependence prevents the dependent value from
being returned by the closure, so common usage is safe by default.
Typical example:
func decode(_ bufferRef: Span<Int>) { /*...*/ }
extension UnsafeBufferPointer {
// The client must ensure the lifetime of the buffer across the invocation of `body`.
// The client must ensure that no code modifies the buffer during the invocation of `body`.
func withUnsafeSpan<Result>(_ body: (Span<Element>) throws -> Result) rethrows -> Result {
// Construct Span using its internal, unsafe API.
try body(Span(unsafePointer: baseAddress!, count: count))
}
}
func decodeArrayAsUBP(array: [Int]) {
array.withUnsafeBufferPointer { buffer in
buffer.withUnsafeSpan {
decode($0)
}
}
}
In the future, we may add SILGen support for tracking the lexical scope of
BitwiseCopyable values. That would allow them to have the same dependence
behavior as other source values.

Changes highlights:
dependsOn(paramName) and dependsOn(scoped argName) syntax
dependsOn(paramName) -> copy lifetime dependence for all parameters/self except
when we have Escapable parameters/self, we assign scope
lifetime dependence.
Allow lifetime dependence on parameters without ownership modifier.
Always infer copy lifetime dependence except when we have
Escapable parameters/self, we infer scope lifetime dependence.
Allow lifetime dependence inference on parameters without ownership modifier.
