Update for SE-0107: UnsafeRawPointer
This adds a "mutating" initialize to UnsafePointer to make
Immutable -> Mutable conversions explicit.
These are quick fixes to stdlib, overlays, and test cases that are necessary
in order to remove arbitrary UnsafePointer conversions.
Many cases can be expressed better up by reworking the surrounding
code, but we first need a working starting point.
This is another necessary step in introducing changes
for SE-0107: UnsafeRawPointer.
UnsafeRawPointer is great for bytewise pointer operations.
OpaquePointer goes away.
The _RawByte type goes away.
StringBuffer always binds memory to the correct CodeUnit
when allocating memory.
Before accessing the string, a dynamic element width check
allows us to assume the bound memory type.
Generic entry points like atomicCompareExchange no longer handle
both kinds of pointers. Normally that's good because you
should not be using generics in that case, just upcast
to raw pointer. However, with pointers-to-pointers
you can't do that.
* Migrate from `UnsafePointer<Void>` to `UnsafeRawPointer`.
As proposed in SE-0107: UnsafeRawPointer.
`void*` imports as `UnsafeMutableRawPointer`.
`const void*` imports as `UnsafeRawPointer`.
Occurrences of `UnsafePointer<Void>` are replaced with UnsafeRawPointer.
* Migrate overlays from UnsafePointer<Void> to UnsafeRawPointer.
This requires explicit memory binding in several places,
particularly in NSData and CoreAudio.
* Fix a bunch of test cases for Void->Raw migration.
* qsort takes IUO values
* Bridge `Unsafe[Mutable]RawPointer as `void [const] *`.
* Parse #dsohandle as UnsafeMutableRawPointer
* Update a bunch of test cases for Void->Raw migration.
* Trivial fix for the SceneKit test case.
* Add an UnsafeRawPointer self initializer.
This is unfortunately necessary for assignment between types imported from C.
* Tiny simplification of the initializer.
* Migrate from `UnsafePointer<Void>` to `UnsafeRawPointer`.

Due to a modeling error in the type checker's folding of type
references into type expressions, code such as "strideof(Int)" would
be accepted without the required ".self". Commit
4a60b6cbf4 fixes the modeling issue but
left the historical accepts-invalid; now, diagnose these cases with a
warning + Fix-It to ease the transition.
Fixes SR-899.
There are a couple of features that are not yet implemented, because they require additions to the Builtin module. Specifically, this implementation does not have:
- formRemainder(dividingBy:)
- formSquareRoot()
- addProduct(_:,_:)
Also missing are the generic initializers and comparisons whose implementation depends on having new Integer protocols.
The last remaining feature of SE-0067 is that while the basic operators +,-,*,/, etc are moved onto the FloatingPoint protocol, they are still required on the concrete types in order to disambiguate overloads. Fixing this seems to require either modifying the overload resolution rules or removing these operators from some other protocols. Or it might just require that someone smarter than me looks at the problem.
Passes all the existing tests (with the included changes). I'm working on additional tests for the new features.
Implements SE-0055: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0055-optional-unsafe-pointers.md
- Add NULL as an extra inhabitant of Builtin.RawPointer (currently
hardcoded to 0 rather than being target-dependent).
- Import non-object pointers as Optional/IUO when nullable/null_unspecified
(like everything else).
- Change the type checker's *-to-pointer conversions to handle a layer of
optional.
- Use 'AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer<NSError?>?' as the type of error
parameters exported to Objective-C.
- Drop NilLiteralConvertible conformance for all pointer types.
- Update the standard library and then all the tests.
I've decided to leave this commit only updating existing tests; any new
tests will come in the following commits. (That may mean some additional
implementation work to follow.)
The other major piece that's missing here is migration. I'm hoping we get
a lot of that with Swift 1.1's work for optional object references, but
I still need to investigate.
This patch adds powerpc64le Linux support. While the patch also adds
the matching powerpc64 bits, there are endian issues that need to be
sorted out.
The PowerPC LLVM changes for the swift ABI (eg returning three element
non-homogeneous aggregates) are still in the works, but a simple LLVM
fix to allow those aggregates results in swift passing all but 8
test cases.
The preferred way to create a nil pointer is to use the 'nil' literal.
Affected types:
AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer
OpaquePointer
UnsafeMutablePointer
UnsafePointer
This reflects the fact that the attribute's only for compiler-internal use, and isn't really equivalent to C's asm attribute, since it doesn't change the calling convention to be C-compatible.
