Loosen the restrictions on open_existential_ref to also allow it to
refer to an existential metatype. When it does, open_existential_ref
returns the metatype for the opened archetype.
Swift SVN r15113
In the short term, we need to be able to emit shared symbols for SILWitnessTables corresponding to Clang-imported modules, and soon, the generic specializer will need to be able to reference *_external witness tables deserialized from library modules.
Swift SVN r14887
alloc_ref_dynamic allocates an instance of a class type based on the
value in its metatype operand. Start emitting these instructions for
the allocating constructor of a complete object initializer (not yet
tested) and for the allocating constructor synthesized for an imported
Objective-C init method.
Still missing:
- IRGen still does the same thing as alloc_ref right now. That
change will follow.
- There are devirtualization opportunities when we know the value of
the metatype that would turn an alloc_ref_dynamic into an alloc_ref;
I'm not planning to do this optimization.
Swift SVN r14560
It's not forming the metatype for the protocol type (exists t: P. t).metatype, it's forming the existential of a metatype of a conforming type, exists t: P. (t.metatype).
Swift SVN r14520
Having one instruction to get the dynamic metatype of a (non-existential) value makes more sense from a generic specialization standpoint and should stave off inevitable crashers when archetype_metatypes get specialized. protocol_metatype remains separate because metatype existentials are more interesting.
Swift SVN r14499
We were wantonly applying 'upcast' to archetypes in some cases, and really, that's OK, since these instructions do the same thing (and generic specialization could turn archetype_ref_to_super into upcast). Make everyone's life easier by folding archetype_to_super into upcast. Fixes <rdar://problem/16192324>.
Swift SVN r14496
This allows the optimizer to use the type information from loads, stores,
and address projections to disambiguate pointers. This will allow for
significantly more aggressive load/store forwarding of the “owning pointer”
pattern in the std lib by enabling the disambiguation of loads/stores of the
owning pointer that feed into retains/releases from loads/stores of the structs
data. This is a pervasive pattern seen in such important structs as Array,
String, and many others.
Swift SVN r14210
Introduce the SIL instructions thick_to_objc_metatype and
objc_to_thick_metatype to convert between the 'thick' and
'Objective-C' representations of a metatype. Most of this code is
trivial support code for these conversions: printing, parsing,
(de-)serialization, etc., for which testing will come online in
subsequent patches or is incidental in other tests.
Lower Objective-C metatype values down to objc_class* at the IR level
and implement IRGen support for these SIL instructions. SIL-only test
case at the moment because SILGen never creates these instructions.
Swift SVN r14087
This is more in line with all other modules currently on our system.
If/when we get our final name for the language, we're at least now set
up to rename the library without /too/ much trouble. (This is mostly just
a lot of searching for "import swift", "swift.", "'swift'", and '"swift"'.
The compiler itself is pretty much just using STDLIB_NAME consistently now,
per r13758.)

which is the address of the string data. Have SILGen compute and produce the
isASCII bit as an integer literal, and remove the logic from IRGen.
This overall approach is simpler and enables better SIL-level optimizations.
Swift SVN r13363
Introduce a new AST node to capture the covariant function type
conversion for DynamicSelf. This conversion differs from the normal
function-conversion expressions because it isn't inherently type-safe;
type safety is assured through DynamicSelf.
On the SIL side, map DynamicSelf down to the type of the declaring
class to keep the SIL type system consistent. Map the new
CovariantFunctionConversionExpr down to a convert_function
instruction, slightly loosening the constraints on convert_function to
allow for this (it's always been ABI-compatible-only conversions
anyway).
We currently generate awful SIL when calling a DynamicSelf method,
because SILGenApply doesn't know how to deal with the implicit return
type adjustment associated with the covariant function
conversion. That optimization will follow; at least what we have here
is (barely) functional.

We need to model the difference between Objective-C- and Swift-rooted
class hierarchies in SIL. IRGen is too late to handle nil returns.
This reverts commit 549db981ea0136a67aee3029aefe18a05d3c8833.
Swift SVN r12400
No functional difference from the unconditional checked downcast we
had before, but this gives IRGen the chance to specialize the
implementation.
Swift SVN r12382
When we're using Objective-C's memory allocation, emit .cxx_construct
methods whenever we have instance variables with in-class
initializers. Presently, these methods are just empty stubs.
Swift SVN r12211
The Objective-C runtime executes the .cxx_destruct method after the
last -dealloc has executed when destroying an object, allowing the
instance variables to remain live even after the subclass's
destructor/-dealloc has executed, which is important for memory
safety. This fixes the majority of <rdar://problem/15136592>.
Note that IRGenModule::getAddrOfIVarDestroyer() contains an egregious
hack to find the ivar destructor SIL function via a linear
search. We need a better way to find SIL functions that we know exist,
because LinkEntity does not suffice.
Swift SVN r12206
SILDeclRef was previously storing the ClassDecl for this case, because
semantic analysis didn't guarantee that a DestructorDecl was always
present. It is now, and this representation makes more sense.
Swift SVN r12122
In general, this forces SILGen and IRGen code that's grabbing
a declaration to state whether it's doing so to define it.
Change SIL serialization to serialize the linkage of functions
and global variables, which means also serializing declarations.
Change the deserializer to use this stored linkage, even when
only deserializing a declaration, and to call a callback to
inform the client that it has deserialized a new entity.
Take advantage of that callback in the linking pass to alter
the deserialized linkage as appropriate for the fact that we
imported the declaration. This computation should really take
advantage of the relationship between modules, but currently
it does not.
Swift SVN r12090
Split 'destructive_switch_enum_addr' into separate 'switch_enum_addr' and 'take_enum_data_addr' instructions. This should unblock some optimization work we would like to do with enums.
Swift SVN r12015
Emphasize the fact that this address is only intended for initialization. When we split destructive_switch_enum_addr, there will be another similar instruction for destructively taking the payload out of an already-initialized enum.
Swift SVN r12000
Introduce the SIL instruction peer_method, which references a method
in the given class or one of its superclasses (but not a subclass). It
IRGen's to objc_msgSendSuper[Stret] (vs. super_method IRGen'ing to
objc_msgSendSuper[Stret]2 for superclass lookup).
Use peer_method for initializer delegation to a foreign initializer
(i.e., an init-family method written in Objective-C) to close the
safety loophole introduced by initializer delegation in r11965. The
loophole still exists, but can only be triggered from Objective-C.
Teach definite initialization that peer_method really isn't a use of
self.
Swift SVN r11992
Remove the initialize_var instruction now that DI fully diagnoses initialization problems. Change String-to-NSString bridging to explicitly invoke String's default constructor; it was the last remaining user of initialize_var. Remove dead code to emit an implicit default constructor without a body.
