ConvertFunction and reabstraction thunks need this attribute. Otherwise,
there is no way to identify that withoutActuallyEscaping was used
to explicitly perform a conversion.
The destination of a [without_actually_escaping] conversion always has
an escaping function type. The source may have either an escaping or
@noescape function type. The conversion itself may be a nop, and there
is nothing distinctive about it. The thing that is special about these
conversions is that the source function type may have unboxed
captures. i.e. they have @inout_aliasable parameters. Exclusivity
requires that the compiler enforce a SIL data flow invariant that
nonescaping closures with unboxed captures can never be stored or
passed as an @escaping function argument. Adding this attribute allows
the compiler to enforce the invariant in general with an escape hatch
for withoutActuallyEscaping.
Mandatory pass will clean it up and replace it by a copy_block and
is_escaping/cond_fail/release combination on the %closure in follow-up
patches.
The instruction marks the dependence of a block on a closure that is
used as an 'withoutActuallyEscaping' sentinel.

Will be used to verify that withoutActuallyEscaping's block does not
escape the closure.
``%escaping = is_escaping_closure %closure`` tests the reference count. If the
closure is not uniquely referenced it prints out and error message and
returns true. Otherwise, it returns false. The returned result can be
used with a ``cond_fail %escaping`` instruction to abort the program.

@noescape function types will eventually be trivial. A
convert_escape_to_noescape instruction does not take ownership of its
operand. It is a projection to the trivial value carried by the closure
-- both context and implementation function viewed as a trivial value.
A safe SIL program must ensure that the object that the project value is based
on is live beyond the last use of the trivial value. This will be
achieve by means of making the lifetimes dependent.
For example:
%e = partial_apply [callee_guaranteed] %f(%z) : $@convention(thin) (Builtin.Int64) -> ()
%n = convert_escape_to_noescape %e : $@callee_guaranteed () -> () to $@noescape @callee_guaranteed () -> ()
%n2 = mark_dependence %n : $@noescape @callee_guaranteed () -> () on %e : $@callee_guaranteed () -> ()
%f2 = function_ref @use : $@convention(thin) (@noescape @callee_guaranteed () -> ()) -> ()
apply %f2(%n2) : $@convention(thin) (@noescape @callee_guaranteed () -> ()) -> ()
release_value %e : $@callee_guaranteed () -> ()
Note: This is not yet actually used.

* Reduce array abstraction on apple platforms dealing with literals
Part of the ongoing quest to reduce swift array literal abstraction
penalties: make the SIL optimizer able to eliminate bridging overhead
when dealing with array literals.
Introduce a new classify_bridge_object SIL instruction to handle the
logic of extracting platform specific bits from a Builtin.BridgeObject
value that indicate whether it contains a ObjC tagged pointer object,
or a normal ObjC object. This allows the SIL optimizer to eliminate
these, which allows constant folding a ton of code. On the example
added to test/SILOptimizer/static_arrays.swift, this results in 4x
less SIL code, and also leads to a lot more commonality between linux
and apple platform codegen when passing an array literal.
This also introduces a couple of SIL combines for patterns that occur
in the array literal passing case.
...as detected by initializing an individual field without having
initialized the whole object (via `self = value`).
This only applies in pre-Swift-5 mode because the next commit will
treat all cross-module struct initializers as delegating in Swift 5.
This replaces the '[volatile]' flag. Now, class_method and
super_method are only used for vtable dispatch.
The witness_method instruction is still overloaded for use
with both ObjC protocol requirements and Swift protocol
requirements; the next step is to make it only mean the
latter, also using objc_method for ObjC protocol calls.
introduce a common superclass, SILNode.
This is in preparation for allowing instructions to have multiple
results. It is also a somewhat more elegant representation for
instructions that have zero results. Instructions that are known
to have exactly one result inherit from a class, SingleValueInstruction,
that subclasses both ValueBase and SILInstruction. Some care must be
taken when working with SILNode pointers and testing for equality;
please see the comment on SILNode for more information.
A number of SIL passes needed to be updated in order to handle this
new distinction between SIL values and SIL instructions.
Note that the SIL parser is now stricter about not trying to assign
a result value from an instruction (like 'return' or 'strong_retain')
that does not produce any.
This commit contains:
-) adding the new instructions + infrastructure, like parsing, printing, etc.
-) support in IRGen to generate global object-variables (i.e. "heap" objects) which are statically initialized in the data section.
-) IRGen for global_value which lazily initializes the object header and returns a reference to the object.
For details see the documentation of the new instructions in SIL.rst.
Static initializers are now represented by a list of literal and aggregate instructions in a SILGlobalVariable.
For details see SIL.rst.
This representation is cleaner than what we did so far (point to the initializer function and do some pattern matching).
One implication of that change is that now (a subset of) instructions not necessarily have a parent function.
Regarding the generated code it's a NFC.
Also the swift module format didn't change because so far we don't serializer global variables.
Remove the cast consumption kind from all unconditional casts. It
doesn't make sense for unconditional casts, complicates SIL ownership,
and wasn't fully supported for all variants. Copies should be
explicit.
This has the same semantics as open_existential_box, but returns an object value
instead of an address.
This is used in SIL opaque values mode. Attempting to reuse open_existential_box
in this mode causes SIL type inconsistencies that are too difficult to work
around. Adding this instruction allows for consistent handling of opaque values.
The original versions of several of these currently redundant instructions will
be removed once the SIL representation stabilizes.
These instructions have the same semantics as the *ExistentialAddr instructions
but operate directly on the existential value, not its address.
This is in preparation for adding ExistentialBoxValue instructions.
The previous name would cause impossible confusion with "opaque existentials"
and "opaque existential boxes".
