On Windows, there are multiple variants of the C runtime that must be
explicitly specified and consistently used from the runtime to the
application. The new `-libc` option allows us to control the linking
phase by correctly embedding the requested library to be linked. It is
made into a required parameter on Windows and will add in the
appropriate flags for the imported C headers as well. This ensures that
the C library is not incorrectly linked.
...and remove the option. This is ~technically~ CLI-breaking because
Swift 5 shipped this as a hidden driver option, but it wouldn't have
/done/ anything in Swift 5, so I think it's okay to remove.
Note that if a parseable interface (.swiftinterface) and a binary
interface (.swiftmodule) are both present, the binary one will still
be preferred. This just /allows/ parseable interfaces to be used.

Windows doesn't know what a shebang is, so it's unable to run tests that
use -driver-use-frontend-path with a script. This allows the script
interpreter to be run as the executable with the script as its first
argument. e.g. --driver-use-frontend-path "python;my-script.py"
This patch allows `-serialize-diagnostics-path` for the interpret mode.
There is one file compiled in such mode, so it makes sense to support
this flag to specify an explicit output path for diagnostics emission.

Including the mangled names in anonymous context metadata can bloat
code size, and is not needed for normal runtime resolution. However,
it aids debugging, so have -g implies the emission of this extra
metadata, which is always optional.
<rdar://problem/46548531> Extend @available to support PackageDescription
This introduces a new private availability kind "_PackageDescription" to
allow availability testing by an arbitary version that can be passed
using a new command-line flag "-swiftpm-manifest-version". The semantics
are exactly same as Swift version specific availability. In longer term,
it maybe possible to remove this enhancement once there is
a language-level availability support for 3rd party libraries.
Motivation:
Swift packages are configured using a Package.swift manifest file. The
manifest file uses a library called PackageDescription, which contains
various settings that can be configured for a package. The new additions
in the PackageDescription APIs are gated behind a "tools version" that
every manifest must declare. This means, packages don't automatically
get access to the new APIs. They need to update their declared tools
version in order to use the new API. This is basically similar to the
minimum deployment target version we have for our OSes.
This gating is important for allowing packages to maintain backwards
compatibility. SwiftPM currently checks for API usages at runtime in
order to implement this gating. This works reasonably well but can lead
to a poor experience with features like code-completion and module
interface generation in IDEs and editors (that use sourcekit-lsp) as
SwiftPM has no control over these features.
This adds two things:
- Calling `swiftc -dump-ast foo.swift [...] -o foo.ast` will dump the AST to the file `foo.ast`, instead of dumping it to `stderr` as usual.
- Calling `swiftc -dump-ast -output-file-map=outputFileMap.json *.swift [...]`, given an `outputFileMap.json` file that contains entries in the form `"ast-dump": "foo.ast"`, will dump the ASTs of the input files to their respective output files in the file map.
This should serve as a valid workaround to a bug mentioned in [the forums](https://forums.swift.org/t/error-when-dumping-the-ast-for-hundreds-of-files/17578) where the AST dump functionality crashes when called with too many input files. A few implementation details were also discussed in the same forum post.
As an aside, this also fixes a comment in `include/swift/Basic/PrimarySpecificPaths.h` that was incorrect.
A module compiled with `-enable-private-imports` allows other modules to
import private declarations if the importing source file uses an
``@_private(from: "SourceFile.swift") import statement.

Commit to a command line option spelling so that build systems can
start testing it. I deliberately picked one of the longer names we
were considering because we can always decide to add a shorter alias,
but can't decide a shorter name was too generic.
Like the other supplementary output flags,
-emit-parseable-module-interface-path will emit a .swiftinterface file
to a particular path, while -emit-parseable-module-interface will put
it next to the main output (the one specified with -o).

This enables response files for any jobs that invoke `swift` or another
toolchain tool that goes through the same driver code path, like
`swift-autolink-extract`.
This silences the instances of the warning from Visual Studio about not all
codepaths returning a value. This makes the output more readable and less
likely to lose useful warnings. NFC.
StringMap always copies its strings into its own storage. A DenseMap
of StringRefs has the same caveats as any other use of StringRef, but
in the cases I've changed the string has very clear ownership that
outlives the map.
No functionality change, but should reduce memory usage and malloc
traffic a little.
When provided, this flag warns about implicit overrides, where a
declaration overrides another declaration but is not marked with the
‘override’ keyword. The warning can be suppressed by either providing
‘override’ or ‘@_nonoverride’.
At present, this only happens with overrides in protocols.
...but don't hook it up to anything yet.
This is the very very start of the module stability / textual
interfaces feature described at
https://forums.swift.org/t/plan-for-module-stability/14551/
For now I've just made it a frontend option (not a driver option),
which is good enough for testing.
This flag is based on Clang's -fdebug-prefix-map, which lets the user remap absolute paths in debug info. This is necessary for reproducible builds and allows debugging to work on a different machine than the one that built the code when paths to the source may be different.
This work-around is no longer needed now that the full fix landed in
https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/16615. The argument is left with a warning
to help with migration between compilers with the work-around and compilers with
the full fix (see also rdar://problem/40502379).
Fixes rdar://problem/40476573.
IRGen can introduce calls to type metadata accessors for types that
should not be visible to the current translate, which can manifest in
linker errors within a module (for references to private types when
whole module optimization is disabled) or across modules (for
references to private/internal types in another module). Introduce a
new compiler flag `-emit-public-type-metadata-accessors` that emits
all type metadata accessors with public linkage, to work around the
problem in affected projects. This flag is intended to go away once we
have a proper solution.
This bug has been around in Swift "forever", but compiling the
overlays using -enable-resilience has exacerbated the problem and
caused regressions. This is a short-term fix to
rdar://problem/40229755 while we work on the correct long-term fix.
When the supplementary-outputs file is written for an -index-file invocation it writes out the first input file
given in arguments instead of the input file that is provided by -index-file-path option. This then causes the frontend
index invocation to fail with an error because there is a mismatch in the primary input file and the input file that is written
in the supplementary-outputs file.
When generating a compiler invocation in driver::createCompilerInvocation()
we end up using filelists if the number of inputs is > 128 (to work around
command line arg limits). We never actually write them out though, and so
fail when parsing the frontend arguments that reference them.
As this function is called frequently by SourceKit and command line limits
aren't a concern here, this patch makes the 128 threshold value configurable
via a new -driver-filelist-threshold option. This is set to its maximum value
in driver::createCompilerInvocation() to ensure filelists aren't used. This
new option makes the existing -driver-use-filelists (that forces filelists to
be used) redundant as it's now equivalent to -driver-filelist-threshold=0.
