Having such a builtin makes it easier for the optimizer to reason about what is actually happening.
I plan to add later some optimizations which can optimize pieces of code dominated by such a check.
Replace `NameOfType foo = dyn_cast<NameOfType>(bar)` with DRY version `auto foo = dyn_cast<NameOfType>(bar)`.
The DRY auto version is by far the dominant form already used in the repo, so this PR merely brings the exceptional cases (redundant repetition form) in line with the dominant form (auto form).
See the [C++ Core Guidelines](https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md#es11-use-auto-to-avoid-redundant-repetition-of-type-names) for a general discussion on why to use `auto` to avoid redundant repetition of type names.
Introduce a new runtime entry point,
`swift_objc_swift3ImplicitObjCEntrypoint`, which is called from any
Objective-C method that was generated due to `@objc` inference rules
that were removed by SE-0160. Aside from being a central place where
users can set a breakpoint to catch when this occurs, this operation
provides logging capabilities that can be enabled by setting the
environment variable SWIFT_DEBUG_IMPLICIT_OBJC_ENTRYPOINT:
SWIFT_DEBUG_IMPLICIT_OBJC_ENTRYPOINT=0 (default): do not log
SWIFT_DEBUG_IMPLICIT_OBJC_ENTRYPOINT=1: log failed messages
SWIFT_DEBUG_IMPLICIT_OBJC_ENTRYPOINT=2: log failed messages with
backtrace
SWIFT_DEBUG_IMPLICIT_OBJC_ENTRYPOINT=3: log failed messages with
backtrace and abort the process.
The log messages look something like:
***Swift runtime: entrypoint -[t.MyClass foo] generated by
implicit @objc inference is deprecated and will be removed in
Swift 4
...and IRGen it into a call to __tsan_write1 in compiler-rt. This is
preparatory work for a later patch that will add an experimental
option to treat Swift inout accesses as TSan writes.
While invoking the instrprof_increment intrinsic, we used to pass the
profile name variable by using a GEP instruction to get to the string
constant. That prevented llvm from uniquing the names. Use a constexpr
GEP to fix the issue.
SubstitutionList is going to be a more compact representation of
a SubstitutionMap, suitable for inline allocation inside another
object.
For now, it's just a typedef for ArrayRef<Substitution>.
We need the encode string to be able to construct NSValues using the core valueWithBytes:objCType: API. This builtin only works with concrete, @objc-representable types for now, which should be sufficient for a stdlib-internal API.
