Since the feature is incomplete and yet to be accepted or implemented as proposed, hide it behind an -enable-experimental-property-behaviors frontend flag.
Similarly to how we've always handled parameter types, we
now recursively expand tuples in result types and separately
determine a result convention for each result.
The most important code-generation change here is that
indirect results are now returned separately from each
other and from any direct results. It is generally far
better, when receiving an indirect result, to receive it
as an independent result; the caller is much more likely
to be able to directly receive the result in the address
they want to initialize, rather than having to receive it
in temporary memory and then copy parts of it into the
target.
The most important conceptual change here that clients and
producers of SIL must be aware of is the new distinction
between a SILFunctionType's *parameters* and its *argument
list*. The former is just the formal parameters, derived
purely from the parameter types of the original function;
indirect results are no longer in this list. The latter
includes the indirect result arguments; as always, all
the indirect results strictly precede the parameters.
Apply instructions and entry block arguments follow the
argument list, not the parameter list.
A relatively minor change is that there can now be multiple
direct results, each with its own result convention.
This is a minor change because I've chosen to leave
return instructions as taking a single operand and
apply instructions as producing a single result; when
the type describes multiple results, they are implicitly
bound up in a tuple. It might make sense to split these
up and allow e.g. return instructions to take a list
of operands; however, it's not clear what to do on the
caller side, and this would be a major change that can
be separated out from this already over-large patch.
Unsurprisingly, the most invasive changes here are in
SILGen; this requires substantial reworking of both call
emission and reabstraction. It also proved important
to switch several SILGen operations over to work with
RValue instead of ManagedValue, since otherwise they
would be forced to spuriously "implode" buffers.
Specifically:
1. set_union_for_each. This is like std::for_each, but it visits its inputs
(which are assumed to be sorted/uniqued sets) in set_union order.
2. is_uniqued_and_sorted.
I also fixed several nits from Jordan.
This is an immutable data structure with the following properties:
1. All of the sets are sorted and can be iterated over.
2. It takes in a bump ptr allocator and uses that allocator for all
allocations.
3. All concatenation operations involve only one bump ptr allocation.
4. Since we are only storing pointers, the data structure does not need any
destructors to be invoked to be cleaned up. The bumpptrallocator memory just
needs to be freed.
I am going to use this to improve the compile time performance of ARC.
...because "build configuration" is already the name of an Xcode feature.
- '#if' et al are "conditional compilation directives".
- The condition is a "conditional compilation expression", or just
"condition" if it's obvious.
- The predicates are "platform conditions" (including 'swift(>=...)')
- The options set with -D are "custom conditional compilation flags".
(Thanks, Kevin!)
I left "IfConfigDecl" as is, as well as SourceKit's various "BuildConfig"
settings because some of them are part of the SourceKit request format.
We can change these in follow-up commits, or not.

TypeAlignments.h predates this whole mess; it was used for types with
stronger alignment in PointerLikeTypeTraits than the old default of
"2 by fiat and assumption". All remaining forward-declared types are
AST types, so fold them into TypeAlignments.h.
(The one exception is SILTypeList.h, but that's already gone on master.)
To avoid future ODR issues, explicitly include TypeAlignments.h into
every header that defines a type it forward-declares.
I wish we could use partial specialization to provide PointerLikeTypeTraits
for all derived classes of Decl, TypeBase, etc, but that's not something
you can do in C++ if you don't control the traits class.
This is the first patch in a series that will allow new protocol
requirements to be added resiliently, with the runtime filling in
default implementations in witness tables.
First, this adds a new flag to the protocol descriptor indicating
that the protocol is resilient. In this case, there are two
additional fields, MinimumWitnessTableSizeInWords and
DefaultWitnessTableSizeInWords, followed by tail-allocated
default witnesses.
The swift_getGenericWitnessTable() entry point now fills in the
default witnesses from the protocol if the given witness table
template is smaller than the expected witness table size.
This also changes the layout of instantiated witness tables to move
the address point to the end of private data. Previously the private
data came after the requirements, but this meant that adding new
requirements would require sliding the private data at runtime and
accessing it indirectly. It is much simpler to access it from
negative offsets instead.
I updated IRGen to emit the new metadata, but currently all protocols
are flagged as not resilient, and default witnesses are not emitted;
this will come in a subsequent patch once some more plumbing is
in place.
To avoid generating GOT entries for references to protocols defined
in the current module, I had to add some hacks to the existing hack
for this. I'll hopefully clean this up in a principled manner later.
This will be used when emitting field 32-bit integers into field
records, which are likely to be small and benefit from this kind
of encoding. These can potentially also be used in other places
where we emit integer constants to save space.
Introduce a new "swift" build configuration that guards declarations
and statements with a language version - if the current language version
of the compiler is at least that version, the block will parse as normal.
For inactive blocks, the code will not be parsed an no diagnostics will
be emitted there.
Example:
#if swift(>=2.2)
print("Active")
#else
this code will not parse or emit diagnostics
#endif

We really want to apply offsets using wrapping (unsigned) arithmetic, albeit with sign extension. This is significant on 32-bit platforms, where "far" addresses could be more than 2GB apart, but still relative-referenced using 32-bit signed values, and offset addition could end up wrapping around. Factor the logic to add an offset to a pointer out into a function that performs the sacred casting dance to appease the UB gods.
We usually want to use 32-bit offsets, since we use them to reference other objects within the same small-code-model image. However, for data structures that are both compiler-generated and runtime-allocated, we may want to save the relocation in compile time, but need a full-width offset to be able to relatively reference things from the heap. NFC yet.
Decrease the size of nominal type descriptors and make them true-const by relative-addressing the other metadata they need to reference, which should all be included in the same image as the descriptor itself. Relative-referencing string constants exposes a bug in the Apple linker, which crashes when resolving relative relocations to coalesceable symbols (rdar://problem/22674524); work around this for now by revoking the `unnamed_addr`-ness of string constants that we take relative references to. (I haven't tested whether GNU ld or gold also have this problem on Linux; it may be possible to conditionalize the workaround to only apply to Darwin targets for now.)
Although omit-needless-words is almost entirely a Clang importer task,
there are a handful of other places in the compiler that will need to
query this flag as well. NFC for now; those changes will come soon.
Since resilience is a property of the module being compiled,
not decls being accessed, we need to record which types are
resilient as part of the module.
Previously we would only ever look at the @_fixed_layout
attribute on a type. If the flag was not specified, Sema
would slap this attribute on every type that gets validated.
This is wasteful for non-resilient builds, because there
all types get the attribute. It was also apparently wrong,
and I don't fully understand when Sema decides to validate
which decls.
It is much cleaner conceptually to just serialize this flag
with the module, and check for its presence if the
attribute was not found on a type.
