Take a seat and pour yourself a beer because this is
going to get pretty intense.
Recall that class methods that return 'Self', have a
'self' type of @dynamic_self X or @dynamic_self X.Type,
for some class X, based on if the method is an instance
method or a static method.
The instance type of a metatype is not lowered, and we
preserve DynamicSelfType there. This is required for
correct behavior with the SIL optimizer.
For example if you specialize a function that contains a
'metatype $((T) -> Int, T).Type' SIL instruction or
some other metatype of a structural type containing a
generic parameter, we might end up with something like
'metatype $((@dynamic_self X) -> Int, X).Type'
after substitution, for some class 'X'. Note that the
second occurrence of 'X', is in "lowered position" so
the @dynamic_self did, indeed, get stripped away.
So while *values* of @dynamic_self type don't need to
carry the fact that they're @dynamic_self at the SIL
level, because Sema has inserted all the right casts.
Metatypes do though, because when lowering the 'metatype'
instruction, IRGen has to know to emit the type metadata
from the method's 'self' parameter, and not the static
metadata for the exact class type.
Essentially, 'metatype @dynamic_self X.Type' is
the same as 'value_metatype %self : X.Type', except that
the @dynamic_self type can appear inside other structural
types also, which is something we cannot write in the
AST.
This is all well and good, but when lowering a
SILFunctionType we erase @dynamic_self from the 'self'
parameter type because when you *call* such a function
from another function, you are not necessarily calling
it on your own 'self' value. And if you are, Sema
already emitted the right unchecked downcast there to
turn the result into the right type.
The problem is that the type of an argument (the value
"inside" the function) used to always be identical to
the type of the parameter (the type from "outside" the
function, in the SILFunctionType). Of course this
assumption is no longer correct for static methods,
where the 'self' argument should really have type
@dynamic_self X.Type, not X.Type.
A further complication is closure captures, whose types
can also contain @dynamic_self inside metatypes in other
structural types. We used to erase @dynamic_self from
these.
Both of these are wrong, because if you call a generic
function <T> (T.Type) -> () with a T := @dynamic_self X
substitution (recall that substitutions are written in
terms of AST types and not lowered types) and pass in
the 'self' argument, we would pass in a value of type
X.Type and not @dynamic_self X.Type.
There were similar issues with captures, with
additional complications from nested closures.
Fix all this by having SILGenProlog emit a downcast
to turn the X.Type argument into a value of type
@dynamic_self X.Type, and tweak capture lowering to
not erase @dynamic_self from capture types.
This fixes several cases that used to fail with
asserts in SILGenApply or the SIL verifier, in particular
the example outlined in <rdar://problem/31226650>,
where we would crash when calling a protocol extension
method from a static class method (oops!).
If you got this far and still follow along,
congratulations, you now know more about DynamicSelfType
than I do.
A lot of files transitively include Expr.h, because it was
included from SILInstruction.h, SILLocation.h and SILDeclRef.h.
However in reality most of these files don't do anything
with Exprs, especially not anything in IRGen or the SILOptimizer.
Now we're down to 171 files in the frontend which depend on
Expr.h, which is still a lot but much better than before.
As per John, WritebackScope was always an unfortunate name. Generally these
scopes are meant for formal evaluations of inout parameters. The cases that I am
interested in generalizing them to be used for are borrows of the base of a
class that will then be used as an lvalue.
This also eliminates the out of line vector of lvalue writebacks.

SubstitutionList is going to be a more compact representation of
a SubstitutionMap, suitable for inline allocation inside another
object.
For now, it's just a typedef for ArrayRef<Substitution>.
Separate formal lowered types from SIL types.
The SIL type of an argument will depend on the SIL module's conventions.
The module conventions are determined by the SIL stage and LangOpts.
Almost NFC, but specialized manglings are broken incidentally as a result of
fixes to the way passes handle book-keeping of aruments. The mangler is fixed in
the subsequent commit.
Otherwise, NFC is intended, but quite possible do to rewriting the logic in many
places.
The typedef `swift::Module` was a temporary solution that allowed
`swift::Module` to be renamed to `swift::ModuleDecl` without requiring
every single callsite to be modified.
Modify all the callsites, and get rid of the typedef.
- The DeclContext versions of these methods have equivalents
on the DeclContext class; use them instead.
- The GenericEnvironment versions of these methods are now
static methods on the GenericEnvironment class. Note that
these are not made redundant by the instance methods on
GenericEnvironment, since the static methods can also be
called with a null GenericEnvironment, in which case they
just assert that the type is fully concrete.
- Remove some unnecessary #includes of ArchetypeBuilder.h
and GenericEnvironment.h. Now changes to these files
result in a lot less recompilation.
We preserve the current behavior of assuming Any ownership always and use
default arguments to hide this change most of the time. There are asserts now in
the SILBasicBlock::{create,replace,insert}{PHI,Function}Argument to ensure that
the people can only create SILFunctionArguments in entry blocks and
SILPHIArguments in non-entry blocks. This will ensure that the code in tree
maintains the API distinction even if we are not using the full distinction in
between the two.
Once the verifier is finished being upstreamed, I am going to audit the
createPHIArgument cases for the proper ownership. This is b/c I will be able to
use the verifier to properly debug the code. At that point, I will also start
serializing/printing/parsing the ownershipkind of SILPHIArguments, but lets take
things one step at a time and move incrementally.
In the process, I also discovered a CSE bug. I am not sure how it ever worked.
Basically we replace an argument with a new argument type but return the uses of
the old argument to refer to the old argument instead of a new argument.

Officially kick SILBoxType over to be "nominal" in its layout, with generic layouts structurally parameterized only by formal types. Change SIL to lower a capture to a nongeneric box when possible, or a box capturing the enclosing generic context when necessary.
This simplifies the SILType substitution APIs and brings them in line with Doug and Slava's refactorings to improve AST-level type substitution. NFC intended.
After recent changes, this asserts on all decls that are not VarDecls,
so we can just enforce that statically now. Interestingly, this turns
up some dead code which would have asserted immediately if called.
Also, replace AnyFunctionRef::getType() with
AnyFunctionRef::getInterfaceType(), since the old
AnyFunctionRef::getType() would just assert when called on
a Decl.
A pointless use of polymorphism -- the result values are not
interchangeable in any practical sense:
- For GenericTypeParamDecls, this returned getDeclaredInterfaceType(),
which is an interface type.
- For AssociatedTypeDecls, this returned the sugared AssociatedTypeType,
which desugars to an archetype.
- For TypeAliasDecls, this returned TypeAliasDecl::getAliasType(),
which desugars to a type containing archetypes.
- For NominalTypeDecls, this returned NominalTypeDecl::getDeclaredType(),
which is the unbound generic type, a special case used for inferring
generic arguments when they're not written in source.
Before this commit all code relating to handling arguments in SILBasicBlock had
somewhere in the name BB. This is redundant given that the class's name is
already SILBasicBlock. This commit drops those names.
Some examples:
getBBArg() => getArgument()
BBArgList => ArgumentList
bbarg_begin() => args_begin()
This ensures that ownership is properly propagated forward through the use-def
graph.
This was the work that was stymied by issues relating to SILBuilder performing
local ARC dataflow. I ripped out that local dataflow in 6f4e2ab and added a
cheap ARC guaranteed dataflow pass that performs the same optimization.
Also in the process of doing this work, I found that there were many SILGen
tests that were either pattern matching in the wrong functions or had wrong
CHECK lines (for instance CHECK_NEXT). I fixed all of these issues and also
expanded many of the tests so that they verify ownership. The only work I left
for a future PR is that there are certain places in tests where we are using the
projection from an original value, instead of a copy. I marked those with a
message SEMANTIC ARC TODO so that they are easy to find.

This allows for slightly better codegen for nested functions that refer to other nested functions that don't transitively capture any local state, but more importantly, allows methods of local types to work while still referring to nested functions that don't capture local state, fixing rdar://problem/28015090.
Previously IRGen was using a heuristic to assign the argument number
to the $error variable that was not generally correct for optimizaed
code. This patch inserts a debug_value instruction in SILGen and thus
assigns the ArgNo together with all the other function arguments. This
is more robust and faster than than the old heuristic.
<rdar://problem/28748323>
The behaviour of ilist has changed in LLVM. It is no longer permissible to
dereference the `end()` value. Add a check to ensure that we do not
accidentally dereference the iterator.
This lets us get to the goal of +0 guaranteed closure contexts. NFC yet, just add the under-the-hood ability for partial_apply instructions producing callee-guaranteed closures to be parsed, printed, and serialized.
This patch is rather large, since it was hard to make this change
incrementally, but most of the changes are mechanical.
Now that we have a lighter-weight data structure in the AST for mapping
interface types to archetypes and vice versa, use that in SIL instead of
a GenericParamList.
This means that when serializing a SILFunction body, we no longer need to
serialize references to archetypes from other modules.
Several methods used for forming substitutions can now be moved from
GenericParamList to GenericEnvironment.
Also, GenericParamList::cloneWithOuterParameters() and
GenericParamList::getEmpty() can now go away, since they were only used
when SILGen-ing witness thunks.
Finally, when printing generic parameters with identical names, the
SIL printer used to number them from highest depth to lowest, by
walking generic parameter lists starting with the innermost one.
Now, ambiguous generic parameters are numbered from lowest depth
to highest, by walking the generic signature, which means test
output in one of the SILGen tests has changed.
This is the first, and most trivial, usage of the new
GenericSignature::getSubstitutions() method.
Note that getForwardingSubstitutions() now takes a
GenericSignature, which is slightly awkward.
However, this is in line with our goal of 'hollowing out'
GenericParamList by removing knowledge of the finalized
generic requirements.
Also, there is now a new getForwardingSubstitutionMap()
function, which returns an interface type substitution
mapping. This is used in the new getForwardingSubstitutions()
implementation, and all also be used elsewhere later.
Finally, in the SILFunction we now cache the forwarding
substitutions, instead of re-computing them every time.
I doubt this makes a big difference in performance, but
it's a simple enhancement and every little bit helps.
Previously, if a generic type had a stored property with
a generic type and an initializer expression, we would
emit the expression directly in the body of each designated
initializer.
This is a problem if the designated initializer is defined
within an extension (even in the same source file), because
extensions have a different set of generic parameters and
archetypes.
Also, we've had bugs in the past where emitting an
expression multiple times didn't work properly. While these
might currently all be fixed, this is a tricky case to test
and it would be best to avoid it.
Fix both problems by emitting the initializer expression
inside its own function at the SIL level, and call the
initializer function from each designated initializer.
I'm using the existing 'variable initializer' mangling for this;
it doesn't seem to be used for anything else right now.
Currently, the default memberwise initializer does not use
this, because the machinery for emitting it is somewhat
duplicated and separate from the initializer expressions in
user-defined constructors. I'll clean this up in an upcoming
patch.
Fixes <https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-488>.
Till now there was no way in SIL to explicitly express a dependency of an instruction on any opened archetypes used by it. This was a cause of many errors and correctness issues. In many cases the code was moved around without taking into account these dependencies, which resulted in breaking the invariant that any uses of an opened archetype should be dominated by the definition of this archetype.
This patch does the following:
- Map opened archetypes to the instructions defining them, i.e. to open_existential instructions.
- Introduce a helper class SILOpenedArchetypesTracker for creating and maintaining such mappings.
- Introduce a helper class SILOpenedArchetypesState for providing a read-only API for looking up available opened archetypes.
- Each SIL instruction which uses an opened archetype as a type gets an additional opened archetype operand representing a dependency of the instruction on this archetype. These opened archetypes operands are an in-memory representation. They are not serialized. Instead, they are re-constructed when reading binary or textual SIL files.
- SILVerifier was extended to conduct more thorough checks related to the usage of opened archetypes.
If a closure captures the dynamic 'Self' type, but no value of type 'Self'
(for example, it is possible to have a weak capture of 'self'; if the weak
reference becomes nil, there's no way for the closure to get the dynamic
'Self' type from the value).
In this case, add a hidden argument of type $Self.Type, and pass in the
Self metatype.
