These functions don't accept local variable heap memory, although the names make it sound like they work on anything. When you try, they mistakenly identify such things as ObjC objects, call through to the equivalent objc_* function, and crash confusingly. This adds Object to the name of each one to make it more clear what they accept.

ConvertFunction and reabstraction thunks need this attribute. Otherwise,
there is no way to identify that withoutActuallyEscaping was used
to explicitly perform a conversion.
The destination of a [without_actually_escaping] conversion always has
an escaping function type. The source may have either an escaping or
@noescape function type. The conversion itself may be a nop, and there
is nothing distinctive about it. The thing that is special about these
conversions is that the source function type may have unboxed
captures. i.e. they have @inout_aliasable parameters. Exclusivity
requires that the compiler enforce a SIL data flow invariant that
nonescaping closures with unboxed captures can never be stored or
passed as an @escaping function argument. Adding this attribute allows
the compiler to enforce the invariant in general with an escape hatch
for withoutActuallyEscaping.
@objc enums don't support reflection and aren't given extra inhabitants, so we never in practice use their enum value witnesses (and the ones we generated were wrong!), and we can share the prefab value witnesses for the builtin integer types for C enums. All uninhabited types like Never can also share an arbitrary value witness table; the value witnesses will never be invoked.
Certain uses of protocols only formally need the requirement
signature, not any of the method requirements. This results in IRGen
seeing a protocol where none of the members have been validated except
the associated types. Account for this by allowing ProtocolInfo to
only contain the layout for the base protocols and associated types,
if requested.
Note that this relies on the layout of a witness table always putting
the "requirement signature part" at the front, or at least at offsets
that aren't affected by function requirements.

We’re not using this parameter, and don’t expect to do so in the future,
so remove it. Also fold away TypeBase::usesNativeReferenceCounting()
and irgen::getReferenceCountingForType(), both of which are trivial.
We don't need to substitute the superclass type as we walk up a
class hierarchy, or look up the generic parameters and conformances
to check if they're concrete, since we're always just emitting
null pointers in place of the generic parameters and requirements,
to be filled at runtime.
Also, don't leave space for generic parameters and requirements from
Objective-C superclasses, since that's not how they're represented.
We were using this just as a convenient way to share an existing
DenseMap, but it's not really related; we don't need to compute
witness table layout just to generate a conformance reference.
I started working on this because the "Cub" source compat project was
hitting issues here, but now I can't reproduce it. Still, this is a
reasonable cleanup.
Use the fragile layout to emit static metadata, and use the
resilient metadata for almost everything else.
Add some tests to ensure that we use runtime metadata, even
for classes with fully fragile layout.
We also use this for field offset globals, which are not always
constant. I think in practice everything was getting set
correctly, but it was hard to follow the logic.
We cannot use field offset globals if *any* field of a generic class
with Objective-C ancestry is dependent.
This is because the Swift runtime first performs layout starting
from a static instance start offset, and then asks the Objective-C
runtime to slide the offsets based on the dynamic superclass size.
So if the class has a field of generic type, the alignment of that
type can change the offsets of fields *before* it as well as after.
So we cannot assuem that any fields in such a class have the same
offset across instantiations at all.
The previous fix captured the intent of the above, but it only
kicked in if the immediate superclass of the class was imported
from Objective-C. But really we need to do this for any class with
Objective-C ancestry.
While fixing this, re-organize the code in ClassLayoutBuilder a
little bit to untangle the stored property iteration from the
interesting FieldAccess adjustments that take place after.
Previously we would recursively get the abstract layout for the fully
generic class type for every superclass. But really we only need to do
that for fields of the class itself, not any superclass fields, since
we throw out the superclass field information anyway.
The type info for a class described its layout using a combination of a
StructLayout and ClassLayout, with different information stored in both.
Since we never use a class as a struct, it's simpler to add the relevant
bits to ClassLayout, and not build a StructLayout at all.
Also, drop inherited properties from the ClassLayout -- they're no
longer needed.
When emitting fixed class metadata, we emit field offsets for all fields,
including those from superclasses, if any.
Get the ClassLayout for the correct class before looking up a field that
might potentially belong to a superclass. Soon, I'm going to slim down
ClassLayout instances to only store the fields belonging to the class
itself, removing the InheritedStoredProperites array altogether.
Even if two types are different, they might still have the same
type info, so don't call getLayout() without checking the type info
for identity first. This allows simplifying an early exit into an
assertion elsewhere.
TypeBase::usesNativeReferenceCounting() was doing a lot of work to
find the class that a type refers to, then determine whether it
would use the native reference-counting scheme. Its primary caller
in IRGen would use an overly-conservative approximation to decide
between the “Objective-C” and “unknown” cases, which resulted in
uses of “unknown” reference counting for some obviously-ObjC cases
(e.g., values of “NSObject”).
Moreover, the approximation would try to call into the type checker
(because it relied unnecessarily on the superclass *type* of a class
declaration), causing an assertion.
Fixes rdar://problem/42828798.
Introduce ExtensionDecl::getExtendedNominal() to provide the nominal
type declaration that the extension declaration extends. Move most
of the existing callers of the callers to getExtendedType() over to
getExtendedNominal(), because they don’t need the full type information.
ExtensionDecl::getExtendedNominal() is itself not very interesting yet,
because it depends on getExtendedType().
