access level for optimization: `public`. It requires an extra check for
the actual access level that was declared when determining serialization
since the behavior should be different.
This PR sets its effective access level to `package` as originally defined,
updates call sites to make appropriate acces level comparisons, and removes
`package` specific checks.
When an actual instance of a distributed actor is on the local node, it is
has the capabilities of `Actor`. This isn't expressible directly in the type
system, because not all `DistributedActor`s are `Actor`s, nor is the
opposite true.
Instead, provide an API `DistributedActor.asLocalActor` that can only
be executed when the distributed actor is known to be local (because
this API is not itself `distributed`), and produces an existential
`any Actor` referencing that actor. The resulting existential value
carries with it a special witness table that adapts any type
conforming to the DistributedActor protocol into a type that conforms
to the Actor protocol. It is "as if" one had written something like this:
extension DistributedActor: Actor { }
which, of course, is not permitted in the language. Nonetheless, we
lovingly craft such a witness table:
* The "type" being extended is represented as an extension context,
rather than as a type context. This hasn't been done before, all Swift
runtimes support it uniformly.
* A special witness is provided in the Distributed library to implement
the `Actor.unownedExecutor` operation. This witness back-deploys to the
Swift version were distributed actors were introduced (5.7). On Swift
5.9 runtimes (and newer), it will use
`DistributedActor.unownedExecutor` to support custom executors.
* The conformance of `Self: DistributedActor` is represented as a
conditional requirement, which gets satisfied by the witness table
that makes the type a `DistributedActor`. This makes the special
witness work.
* The witness table is *not* visible via any of the normal runtime
lookup tables, because doing so would allow any
`DistributedActor`-conforming type to conform to `Actor`, which would
break the safety model.
* The witness table is emitted on demand in any client that needs it.
In back-deployment configurations, there may be several witness tables
for the same concrete distributed actor conforming to `Actor`.
However, this duplication can only be observed under fairly extreme
circumstances (where one is opening the returned existential and
instantiating generic types with the distributed actor type as an
`Actor`, then performing dynamic type equivalence checks), and will
not be present with a new Swift runtime.
All of these tricks together mean that we need no runtime changes, and
`asLocalActor` back-deploys as far as distributed actors, allowing it's
use in `#isolation` and the async for...in loop.
It's not clear that its worth keeping this as a
base class for SerializedAbstractClosure and
SerializedTopLevelCodeDecl, most clients are
interested in the concrete kinds, not only whether
the context is serialized.
Currently only arrays can be put into a read-only data section.
"Regular" classes have dynamically initialized metadata, which needs to be stored into the isa field at runtime.
When building complex projects, there may cases of static libraries
which expose `@inlinable` functions which reference functions from
dynamically linked dependencies. In such a case, we need to consider the
provenance of the `function_ref` when determining the DLL storage for
linkage. We would previously use the deserialised metadata on the
`SILFunction` as there are entities where the `DeclContext` may not be
deserialised. However, this leaves us in a state where we are unable to
determine the actual provenance correctly in some cases. By simply
accessing the parent module directly from the `SILFunction` we ensure
that we properly identify the origin of the function allowing us to
query the DLL storage property. This further allows us to remove the
extra storage required for whether the `SILFunction` is statically
linked.
Conflicts:
- `lib/AST/TypeCheckRequests.cpp` renamed `isMoveOnly` which requires
a static_cast on rebranch because `Optional` is now a `std::optional`.
The assert was wrong because in case a global variable reference another global variable, it can be the case that the other variable is first generated as declaration and then "converted" to a definition by adding the constant initializer.

I've renamed the method to `TypeDecl::isNoncopyable`, because the query
doesn't make sense for many other kinds of `ValueDecl`'s beyond the
`TypeDecl`'s. In fact, it looks like no one was relying on that anyway.
Thus, we now have a distinction where in Sema, you ask whether
a `Type` or `TypeDecl` is "Noncopyable". But within SIL, we still
preserve the notion of "move-only" since there is additionally the
move-only type wrapper for types that otherwise support copying.
This attribute instructs the compiler that this function declaration
should be "import"ed from host environment. It's equivalent of Clang's
`__attribute__((import_module("module"), import_name("field")))`
Currently, when compiling with no optimizations on, we still delete
functions that are sometimes used in the debugger. For example, users
might want to call functions which are unused, or compiler generated
setters/getters.

- VTableSpecializer, a new pass that synthesizes a new vtable per each observed concrete type used
- Don't use full type metadata refs in embedded Swift
- Lazily emit specialized class metadata (LazySpecializedClassMetadata) in IRGen
- Don't emit regular class metadata for a class decl if it's generic (only emit the specialized metadata)
