The underlying problem is that e.g. even if a method is private but its class is public, the method can be referenced from another module - from the vtable of a derived class.
So far we handled this by setting the SILLinkage of such methods according to the visibility of the class. But this prevented dead method elimination.
Now I set the SILLinkage according to the visibility of the method. This enables dead method elimination, but it requires the following:
1) Still set the linkage in llvm so that it can be referenced from outside.
2) If the method is dead and eliminated, create a stub for it (which calls swift_reportMissingMethod).

It was doing an unsafeBitCast and possibly not managing lifetimes;
replace it with more-typesafe and memory-safe calls where possible.

They were never really useful to users, because their APIs were
insufficiently public. They have been replaced with a single class,
ManagedBuffer<Value,Element>, which is really designed for user
consumption.
Swift SVN r22636
Make unique reference checking available to users, making ManagedBuffer
a complete facility for building COW value types. Also rationalize the
way we name and organize the runtime primitives we ultimately call.
Swift SVN r22594
For reasons not entirely clear yet, this can cause problems in the
compiler when some modules bring in the same names via the Darwin
module (see <rdar://problem/18184795>). Use SwiftShims instead.
Swift SVN r21646
The syntax being reverted added busywork and noise to the common case
where you want to say "I have the right address, but the wrong type,"
without adding any real safety.
Also it eliminated the ability to write UnsafePointer<T>(otherPointer),
without adding ".self" to T. Overall, it was not a win.
This reverts commits r21324 and r21342
Swift SVN r21424
Previously, it was possible to write Unsafe[Mutable]Pointer(x) and have
Swift deduce the pointee type based on context. Since reinterpreting
memory is a fundamentally type-unsafe operation, it's better to be
explicit about conversions from Unsafe[Mutable]Pointer<T> to
Unsafe[Mutable]Pointer<U>. This change is consistent with the move from
reinterpretCast(x) to unsafeBitCast(x, T.self).
Also, we've encoded the operations of explicitly adding or removing
mutability as properties, so that adding mutability can be separated
from wild reinterpretCast'ing, a much more severe form of unsafety.
Swift SVN r21324
To limit user confusion when using conditional expressions of type Bool?, we've decided to remove the BooleanType (aka "LogicValue") conformance from optional types. (If users would like to use an expression of type Bool? as a conditional, they'll need to check against nil.)
Note: This change effectively regresses the "case is" pattern over types, since it currently demands a BooleanType conformance. I've filed rdar://problem/17791533 to track reinstating it if necessary.
Swift SVN r20637
Primarily, this means becoming resilient to Builtin.strideof(x) == 0.
Pretty much the only way to get pointers and arrays to make sense is to
treat zero-sized elements as having a stride of 1, so we do that in our
wrapper for Builtin.strideof. Other points include precondition checks
for radixes in number formatting.

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.

...because you can't match them properly in switches.
In the future, we could consider allowing private enum cases in a
resilient public enum, which essentially forces the user to consider the
default case.
Swift SVN r19620
- Change the parser to accept "objc" without an @ sign as a contextual
keyword, including the dance to handle the general parenthesized case.
- Update all comments to refer to "objc" instead of "@objc".
- Update all diagnostics accordingly.
- Update all tests that fail due to the diagnostics change.
- Switch the stdlib to use the new syntax.
This does not switch all tests to use the new syntax, nor does it warn about
the old syntax yet. That will be forthcoming. Also, this needs a bit of
refactoring, which will be coming up.
Swift SVN r19555
...unless the type has less accessibility than the protocol, in which case
they must be as accessible as the type.
This restriction applies even with access control checking disabled, but
shouldn't affect any decls not already marked with access control modifiers.
Swift SVN r19382
As before, there may be more things marked @public than we actually want
public. Judicious use of the frontend option -disable-access-control may
help reduce the public surface area of the stdlib.
Swift SVN r19353
Keep calm: remember that the standard library has many more public exports
than the average target, and that this contains ALL of them at once.
I also deliberately tried to tag nearly every top-level decl, even if that
was just to explicitly mark things @internal, to make sure I didn't miss
something.
This does export more than we might want to, mostly for protocol conformance
reasons, along with our simple-but-limiting typealias rule. I tried to also
mark things private where possible, but it's really going to be up to the
standard library owners to get this right. This is also only validated
against top-level access control; I haven't fully tested against member-level
access control yet, and none of our semantic restrictions are in place.
Along the way I also noticed bits of stdlib cruft; to keep this patch
understandable, I didn't change any of them.

Revert "[stdlib] Use an enum for ArrayBuffer storage"
This reverts commit r18996.
This reverts commit r18954.
The optimizer is not ready yet to handle this change especially given
the time until Beta 3. After speaking with DaveA, we agreed to revert
this and take such large changes onto private branches until we are sure
that the optimizer is ready to handle them rather than risking
performance regressions due to hitting the "optimization cliff".
Swift SVN r19026
Also update ArrayBuffer to take advantage of it.
This change allows us to pass a word-sized enum with a native object
reference payload directly to the runtime, without switching on the enum
to unwrap the contents. Even though that unwrapping was semantically
equivalent to bit masking, it was causing fits in the optimizer.
Swift SVN r18996
not an alignment value.
Assert that various entrypoints get an alignment mask.
Get everything uniformly passing an assertion about
dealloating an object with the correct allocation
size; don't actually enable the assertion yet, though.

and alignment for the purposes of deallocation.
If a class contains a method named __getInstanceSizeAndAlignMask,
and it takes no arguments and returns a pair of words, call
that method directly in order to get the size and alignment
mask instead of trusting the class's formal size and alignment.
This is not a replacement for a proper language solution for
custom allocation, but it'll suffice to fix some immediate
problems with HeapBufferStorage.
If we decide we like this approach, we should really raise
the deallocating destructor up to SIL.
