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.
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.
An optimization should be added in order for the new one to be
efficient, i.e. if the `count` value is equal to `1`, the underlying
`Builtin.destroy` should be called, instead of
`Builtin.destroyArray`.
Most of this is in updating the standard library, SDK overlays, and
piles of test cases to use the new names. No surprises here, although
this shows us some potential heuristic tweaks.
There is one substantive compiler change that needs to be factored out
involving synthesizing calls to copyWithZone()/copy(zone:). Aside from
that, there are four failing tests:
Swift :: ClangModules/objc_parse.swift
Swift :: Interpreter/SDK/Foundation_test.swift
Swift :: Interpreter/SDK/archiving_generic_swift_class.swift
Swift :: Interpreter/SDK/objc_currying.swift
due to two independent remaining compiler bugs:
* We're not getting partial ordering between NSCoder's
encode(AnyObject, forKey: String) and NSKeyedArchiver's version of
that method, and
* Dynamic lookup (into AnyObject) doesn't know how to find the new
names. We need the Swift name lookup tables enabled to address this.
Revert "For unsafeReferenceCast rely on static verifier checks."
This reverts commit r32796.
This reverts commit r32795.
They very likely broke a buildbot.

unsafeBitCast should only be used when we actually need to lie to the type system (as opposed to just having an unchecked downcast).
Theses are the places where unsafeReferenceCast makes sense:
(In general it makes sense whenever the source & dest are class or class existential types)
- ArrayBuffer.getElement.
The deferred downcast case cannot be benchmarked. It is never on the critical path.
The ObjC array case cannot conceivably matter either, however, it is touched by
DollarChain, JSONHelperDeserialize, and StrSplitter.
These benchmarks do not regress at -O.
- arrayForceCast
No regressions at -O based on microbenchmarks.
None of these remaining cases affect PerfTestSuite at -O:
- General ObjC bridging
- Set/Dictionary bridging
- String bridging
- AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer
These are confirmed speedups but I did not investigate the cause:
|.Chars...................|.32.1%.|
|.Sim2DArray..............|.15.4%.|
|.Calculator..............|.13.0%.|
|.RecursiveOwnedParameter.|..7.9%.|

This covers:
- Lifetime-extending wrappers, like withExtendedLifetime, withCString, and withUnsafe*Pointer
- 'map' and friends on Optional
- 'indexOf'
A few APIs I haven't gotten to yet in this first pass:
- Autoclosure APIs, like assert, &&, etc.
- the 'isOrderedBefore' predicate for sorting APIs. The sorting implementation does some microoptimizations with 'inout' closures that violate rethrows checking.
- Strict 'map', 'filter', and friends on CollectionType. These need some plumbing in Lazy to be able to thread a Result-forming transformation through.
This version of the patch updates some protocol customization implementations that I missed the first time around, and includes the tests I forgot to add in the previous iteration.

These types are leftovers from the early pre-1.0 times when Int and UInt
were always 64-bit on all platforms. They serve no useful purpose
today. Int and UInt are defined to be word-sized and should be used
instead.

includes a number of QoI things to help people write the correct code. I will commit
the testcase for it as the next patch.
The bulk of this patch is moving the stdlib, testsuite and validation testsuite to
the new syntax. I moved a few uses of "as" patterns back to as? expressions in the
stdlib as well.
Swift SVN r27959
The rule changes are as follows:
* All functions (introduced with the 'func' keyword) have argument
labels for arguments beyond the first, by default. Methods are no
longer special in this regard.
* The presence of a default argument no longer implies an argument
label.
The actual changes to the parser and printer are fairly simple; the
rest of the noise is updating the standard library, overlays, tests,
etc.
With the standard library, this change is intended to be API neutral:
I've added/removed #'s and _'s as appropriate to keep the user
interface the same. If we want to separately consider using argument
labels for more free functions now that the defaults in the language
have shifted, we can tackle that separately.
Fixes rdar://problem/17218256.

Change all uses of "do { ... } while <cond>" to use "repeat" instead.
Rename DoWhileStmt to RepeatWhileStmt. Add diagnostic suggesting change
of 'do' to 'repeat' if a condition is found afterwards.
<rdar://problem/20336424> rename do/while loops to repeat/while & introduce "repeat <count> {}" loops
Swift SVN r27650
This changes 'if let' conditions to take general refutable patterns, instead of
taking a irrefutable pattern and implicitly matching against an optional.
Where before you might have written:
if let x = foo() {
you now need to write:
if let x? = foo() {
The upshot of this is that you can write anything in an 'if let' that you can
write in a 'case let' in a switch statement, which is pretty general.
To aid with migration, this special cases certain really common patterns like
the above (and any other irrefutable cases, like "if let (a,b) = foo()", and
tells you where to insert the ?. It also special cases type annotations like
"if let x : AnyObject = " since they are no longer allowed.
For transitional purposes, I have intentionally downgraded the most common
diagnostic into a warning instead of an error. This means that you'll get:
t.swift:26:10: warning: condition requires a refutable pattern match; did you mean to match an optional?
if let a = f() {
^
?
I think this is important to stage in, because this is a pretty significant
source breaking change and not everyone internally may want to deal with it
at the same time. I filed 20166013 to remember to upgrade this to an error.
In addition to being a nice user feature, this is a nice cleanup of the guts
of the compiler, since it eliminates the "isConditional()" bit from
PatternBindingDecl, along with the special case logic in the compiler to handle
it (which variously added and removed Optional around these things).

The standard library has grown significantly, and we need a new
directory structure that clearly reflects the role of the APIs, and
allows future growth.
