`AutoDiffIndexSubset` is a fixed-size bit vector that is used for efficiently representing a subset of indices in automatic differentiation, specifically for representing a subset of parameters and results of a function to differentiate with respect to. It is uniqued in `ASTContext`.
This patch adds definition and unit tests for `AutoDiffIndexSubset` along with new files `AutoDiff.h` and `AutoDiff.cpp` into the 'AST' target, with no changes to the compiler's behavior. More data structures used for AutoDiff will be added to these files.
----------------------------
This is part of the ongoing effort to merge the experimental [differentiable programming feature](https://forums.swift.org/t/differentiable-programming-mega-proposal/28547) (informally referred to as "AutoDiff") to the 'master' branch for code reviews and better maintenance.
Upstreaming task: [TF-879](https://bugs.swift.org/browse/TF-879)
Structurally prevent a number of common anti-patterns involving generic
signatures by separating the interface into GenericSignature and the
implementation into GenericSignatureBase. In particular, this allows
the comparison operators to be deleted which forces callers to
canonicalize the signature or ask to compare pointers explicitly.
This removes it from the AST and largely replaces it with AnyObject
at the SIL and IRGen layers. Some notes:
- Reflection still uses the notion of "unknown object" to mean an
object with unknown refcounting. There's no real reason to make
this different from AnyObject (an existential containing a
single object with unknown refcounting), but this way nothing
changes for clients of Reflection, and it's consistent with how
native objects are represented.
- The value witness table and reflection descriptor for AnyObject
use the mangling "BO" instead of "yXl".
- The demangler and remangler continue to support "BO" because it's
still in use as a type encoding, even if it's not an AST-level
Type anymore.
- Type-based alias analysis for Builtin.UnknownObject was incorrect,
so it's a good thing we weren't using it.
- Same with enum layout. (This one assumed UnknownObject never
referred to an Objective-C tagged pointer. That certainly wasn't how
we were using it!)
This eliminates the entire 'lazy generic environment' concept;
essentially, all generic environments are now lazy, and since
each signature has exactly one environment, their construction
no longer needs to be co-ordinated with deserialization.
Lazy parsing for the members of nominal types and extensions depends
only on information already present in
`IterableDeclContext`. Eliminate the use of PersistentParserState as
an intermediary and have the member-parsing request construct a new
`Parser` instance itself to handle parsing. Make this possible even
for ill-formed nominal types/extensions to simplify the code path.
Eliminate `LazyMemberParser` and all of its uses, because it was only
present for lazy member parsing, which no longer needs it.
Ensure that lazy parsing of the members of nominal type definitions
and extensions is handled through a request. Most of the effort here
is in establishing a new request zone for parser requests.
To properly delay parsing type and extension bodies we need to know
which ones might contain nested operator and class definitions, since
they must be known upfront when building the global operator lookup
and AnyObject dispatch lookup tables, respectively.
To guess if the type contains operator definitions, we look for the
'func' keyword followed by an operator token.
To guess if the type contains class definitions, we look for the
'class' keyword.
For now, this information is recorded but not used. Subsequent commits
will make use of this information to delay parsing in more cases.
Traditionally a serialized binary Swift module (as used in debug info)
can only be imported if all of its Clang dependencies can be imported
*from source*.
- Swift's ClangImporter imports Clang modules by converting Clang AST
types into Swift AST types.
- LLDB knows how to find Clang types in DWARF or other debug info and
can synthesize a Clang AST from that information.
This patch introduces a DWARFImporter delegate that is implemented by
LLDB to connect these two components. With this, a Clang type can be
found (by name) in the debug info and handed over to ClangImporter to
create a Swift type from it. This path has lower fidelity than
importing the Clang modules from source, since it is missing out on
Swiftication annotations and other metadata that is not serialized in
DWARF, but it's invaluable as a fallback mechanism for the debugger
when source code for the Clang modules isn't available or the modules
are otherwise not buildable.

When backward deploying to an OS that may not have these entry points, weak-link them so that they
can be used conditionally in availability contexts that check for them.

When a property has an attached property delegate, a backing storage
property of the corresponding delegate type will be
synthesized. Perform this synthesis, and also synthesize the
getter/setter for the original property to reference the backing
storage property.
To represent the abstracted interface of an opaque type, we need a generic signature that refines
the outer context generic signature with an additional generic parameter representing the underlying
type and its exposed constraints. Opaque types also need to be keyed by their originating decl, so
that we can treat values of the same opaque type as the same. When we check a FuncDecl with an
opaque type specified as its return type, create an OpaqueTypeDecl and associate it with the
originating decl. (A representation for *types* derived from the opaque decl will come next.)
Rather than eagerly doing a bunch of name lookups to establish the known
protocol kind, lazily match the ProtocolDecl to the list of known
protocols as-needed. This eliminates a bunch of up-front unqualified
name lookups when spinning up a type checker.
Sometimes constraint solver fails without producing any diagnostics,
it could happen during different phases e.g. pre-check, constraint
generation, or even while attempting to apply solution. Such behavior
leads to crashes down the line in AST Verifier or SILGen which are
hard to diagnose.
Let's guard against that by tracking if solver produced any diagnostics
upon its failure and if no errors were or are scheduled to be produced,
let's produce a fallback fatal error pointing at affected expression.

We've been running doxygen with the autobrief option for a couple of
years now. This makes the \brief markers into our comments
redundant. Since they are a visual distraction and we don't want to
encourage more \brief markers in new code either, this patch removes
them all.
