These always fail, and it doesn't make sense to inline this check into the cast site, so provide additional runtime functions for metatype-to-objc-existential casts.

This exposes an issue with CF types. Looking up their dynamic types gives us an ObjC class, which doesn't necessarily have the same protocol conformances (and for non-bridged types is just NSObject).
Swift SVN r23153
Another thread could pull enqueued records into the cache while we're waiting on the lock, leaving us with an empty queue but an updated cache. Recognize this by sticking a generation on the cache and retrying instead of failing if the generation increased while we waited. Fixes rdar://problem/18856858.
Swift SVN r23091
Move the uniquing information for ForeignTypeMetadata behind the address point so we can share the layout between foreign classes and the existing layout for struct and enum metadata. Emit metadata records for imported structs and enums as foreign metadata candidates, and dynamically unique references to the metadata by calling swift_getForeignTypeMetadata.
Swift SVN r23081
As a stopgap till IRGen properly emits indirected class references, support direct class reference protocol conformance records. This should get us to the point we can replace the dlsym hack with the new implementation.
Swift SVN r23073
We should unique foreign struct/enum metadata the same way we do CF foreign class metadata, but for now, treat them as direct references like we do in IRGen.
Swift SVN r23072
We can share a lookup cache entry under the generic metadata pattern when the witness table for a protocol conformance is shared among all instances of the type. (This happens to always be the case currently.)
Swift SVN r23062
Set up the basic logic for first looking into a cache then pulling in conformances from enqueued images and trying again for exact-matchable types (pretty much just nongeneric native value types).
Swift SVN r23053
Set up lazy registration of a dyld add image callback that looks up the "__DATA,__swift1_proto" section in the loaded image. As a first-pass sanity check, just walk the section and dump the records.
Swift SVN r23025
Rename the existing misleadingly-named "isClassType" to "isClassObject", and document that it refers to (swift or ObjC) class objects, the latter of which aren't always type metadata.
Swift SVN r22153
refcounting and take advantage of it.
Also, set the Swift1 flag in classes we generate.
Also, initialize a global cache of the non-pointer-isa
mask and use that instead of object_getClass, at least
within the runtime.
Also, centralize the runtime on a _swift_getSuperclass
function and make that use a direct access while we
await word from Greg on the desired ABI requirements.
Swift SVN r21077
When the dynamic cast caller asked to take on success but not destroy
on failure, we still performed the release on failure. Test case to
follow.
Swift SVN r20975
This allows one to cast a value type (say, [String]) to AnyObject or
NSCoding, for example. It's another piece of <rdar://problem/17637959>.
Swift SVN r20964
The _forceBridgeFromObjectiveC and _conditionallyBridgeFromObjectiveC
requirements of the _ObjectiveCBridgeable protocol previously returned
Self and Self?, respectively, where 'Self' is the value type that is
bridged. This use of returns is fairly hostile to the idea of calling
the witnesses for these requirements from the C++ part of the runtime,
leading to "interesting" tricks with OpaqueExistentialContainer that
made it hard to use these witnesses within the dynamic casting
infrastructure.
Replace the returns with inout Self? parameters, which are far easier
to deal with in the C++ part of the runtime. Despite the churn because
we're changing the _ObjectiveCBridgeable protocol, this is NFC.
Swift SVN r20934
Squash _[Conditionally]BridgedToObjectiveC into one protocol. This
change results in simpler bridging code with fewer dynamic protocol
conformance checks, and solves the nasty naming/semantics problem that
resulted from having _ConditionallyBridgedToObjectiveC refining
_BridgedToObjectiveC.
Also, rename things so they're more symmetrical and less confusing.
Swift SVN r20664
Mechanically add "Type" to the end of any protocol names that don't end
in "Type," "ible," or "able." Also, drop "Type" from the end of any
associated type names, except for those of the *LiteralConvertible
protocols.
There are obvious improvements to make in some of these names, which can
be handled with separate commits.
Fixes <rdar://problem/17165920> Protocols `Integer` etc should get
uglier names.
Swift SVN r19883
Previously, we had a predicate that only worked properly for 64-bit
architectures; the 32-bit platforms don't have tagged pointers, and
have an annoying tendency to allocate objects with the high bit of the
address set. Fixes <rdar://problem/17544277>.
