This is a type that has ownership of a reference while allowing access to the
spare bits inside the pointer, but which can also safely hold an ObjC tagged pointer
reference (with no spare bits of course). It additionally blesses one
Foundation-coordinated bit with the meaning of "has swift refcounting" in order
to get a faster short-circuit to native refcounting. It supports the following
builtin operations:
- Builtin.castToBridgeObject<T>(ref: T, bits: Builtin.Word) ->
Builtin.BridgeObject
Creates a BridgeObject that contains the bitwise-OR of the bit patterns of
"ref" and "bits". It is the user's responsibility to ensure "bits" doesn't
interfere with the reference identity of the resulting value. In other words,
it is undefined behavior unless:
castReferenceFromBridgeObject(castToBridgeObject(ref, bits)) === ref
This means "bits" must be zero if "ref" is a tagged pointer. If "ref" is a real
object pointer, "bits" must not have any non-spare bits set (unless they're
already set in the pointer value). The native discriminator bit may only be set
if the object is Swift-refcounted.
- Builtin.castReferenceFromBridgeObject<T>(bo: Builtin.BridgeObject) -> T
Extracts the reference from a BridgeObject.
- Builtin.castBitPatternFromBridgeObject(bo: Builtin.BridgeObject) -> Builtin.Word
Presents the bit pattern of a BridgeObject as a Word.
BridgeObject's bits are set up as follows on the various platforms:
i386, armv7:
No ObjC tagged pointers
Swift native refcounting flag bit: 0x0000_0001
Other available spare bits: 0x0000_0002
x86_64:
Reserved for ObjC tagged pointers: 0x8000_0000_0000_0001
Swift native refcounting flag bit: 0x0000_0000_0000_0002
Other available spare bits: 0x7F00_0000_0000_0004
arm64:
Reserved for ObjC tagged pointers: 0x8000_0000_0000_0000
Swift native refcounting flag bit: 0x4000_0000_0000_0000
Other available spare bits: 0x3F00_0000_0000_0007
TODO: BridgeObject doesn't present any extra inhabitants. It ought to at least provide null as an extra inhabitant for Optional.

Modeling builtins as first-class function values doesn't really make sense because there's no real function value to emit, and modeling them this way complicates passes that work with builtins because they have to invent function types for builtin invocations. It's much more straightforward to have a single instruction that references the builtin by ID, along with the type information for the necessary values, type parameters, and results, so add a new "builtin" instruction that directly represents a builtin invocation. NFC yet.

layouts. Introduce new SIL instructions to initialize
and open existential metatype values.
Don't actually, y'know, lift any of the restriction on
existential metatypes; just pointlessly burn extra
memory storing them.

We serialize shared_external linkage as shared since:
1. shared_external linkage is just a hack to tell the optimizer that a
shared function was deserialized.
2. We can not just serialize a declaration to a shared_external function
since shared_external functions still have linkonce_odr linkage at the LLVM
level. This means they must be defined not just declared.

Now the SILLinkage for functions and global variables is according to the swift visibility (private, internal or public).
In addition, the fact whether a function or global variable is considered as fragile, is kept in a separate flag at SIL level.
Previously the linkage was used for this (e.g. no inlining of less visible functions to more visible functions). But it had no effect,
because everything was public anyway.
For now this isFragile-flag is set for public transparent functions and for everything if a module is compiled with -sil-serialize-all,
i.e. for the stdlib.
For details see <rdar://problem/18201785> Set SILLinkage correctly and better handling of fragile functions.
The benefits of this change are:
*) Enable to eliminate unused private and internal functions
*) It should be possible now to use private in the stdlib
*) The symbol linkage is as one would expect (previously almost all symbols were public).
More details:
Specializations from fragile functions (e.g. from the stdlib) now get linkonce_odr,default
linkage instead of linkonce_odr,hidden, i.e. they have public visibility.
The reason is: if such a function is called from another fragile function (in the same module),
then it has to be visible from a third module, in case the fragile caller is inlined but not
the specialized function.
I had to update lots of test files, because many CHECK-LABEL lines include the linkage, which has changed.
The -sil-serialize-all option is now handled at SILGen and not at the Serializer.
This means that test files in sil format which are compiled with -sil-serialize-all
must have the [fragile] attribute set for all functions and globals.
The -disable-access-control option doesn't help anymore if the accessed module is not compiled
with -sil-serialize-all, because the linker will complain about unresolved symbols.
A final note: I tried to consider all the implications of this change, but it's not a low-risk change.
If you have any comments, please let me know.

We add two more fields to SILGlobalVariable: a VarDecl and a flag to see if this
is a declaration. VarDecl is mainly used for debugger support, it is also used
to check if the variable is weak imported.
We also modify the serializer to serialize the extra two fields.

This is necessary to be able to properly stash values with nontrivial lowerings, such as metatypes and functions, inside existential containers. Modify SILGen to lower values to the proper abstraction level before storing them in an existential container. Part of the fix for rdar://problem/18189508, though runtime problems still remain when trying to actually dynamicCast out a metatype from an Any container.

We want to be able to work around problems with non-failable
Objective-C initializers actually failing, which can happen when the

This will let the performance inliner inline a function even if the costs are too high.
This attribute is only a hint to the inliner.
If the inliner has other good reasons not to inline a function,
it will ignore this attribute. For example if it is a recursive function (which is
currently not supported by the inliner).
Note that setting the inline threshold to 0 does disable performance inlining at all and in
this case also the @inline(__always) has no effect.

*NOTE* This linkage is different from {Public,Hidden}External in that it has no
extra semantic meaning beyond shared.
The use of this linkage is to ensure that we do not serialize deserialized
shared functions. Those shared functions can always be re-deserialized from the
original module. This prevents a whole class of bugs related to the
creation of module cross references since all references to the shared
item go straight to the original module.

Enable SIL parsing and SIL serialization of semantics.
We add one more field to SILFunctionLayout for semantics. We should refactor
handling of attributes at SIL level, right now they are in SILFunction as bool
or std::string and in SIL serializer as a 1-bit field or an ID field.

These instructions do a bitcast operation without stack traffic (at the SIL level). unchecked_trivial_bit_cast represents a conversion from a potentially nontrivial type to a trivial type, such as from a class reference to Int. unchecked_ref_bit_cast represents a conversion between types for which retain_value and release_value has equivalent effects when applied on the input or output values.
