In the new string implementation there is a subtract of a (small) constant from the literal pointer. We convert
((ptr - offset) | bits
to
(ptr + (bits - offset))
which can still be represented as a relocation.
* Teach findAccessedStorage about global addressors.
AccessedStorage now properly represents access to global variables, even if they
haven't been fully optimized down to global_addr instructions.
This is essential for optimizing dynamic exclusivity checks. As a
verified SIL property, all access to globals and class properties
needs to be identifiable.
* Add stronger SILVerifier support for formal access.
Ensure that all formal access follows recognizable patterns
at all points in the SIL pipeline.
This is important to run acccess enforcement optimization late in the pipeline.
* SILModule::isVisibleExternally utility for VarDecls.
* Fix the SIL parser so it doesn't drop global variable decls.
This information was getting lost in SIL printing/parsing.
Some passes rely on it. Regardless of whether passes should rely on it,
it is totally unacceptable for the SIL passes to have subtle differences
in behavior depending on the frontend mode. So, if we don't want passes
to rely on global variable decls, that needs to be enforced by the API
independent of how the frontend is invoked or how SIL is serialized.
* Use custom DemangleOptions to lookup global variable identifiers.
* SILGlobalVariable utilities.
Move the utilities that are required for recognizing SILGlobalVariable access
into SILGlobalVariable.[h|cpp].
Structural SIL properties that are assumed by the optimizer, and thus required
for SIL verification, should never be embedded in SILOptimizer passes, or even
in SILOptimizer/Utils. Structural SIL properties need to be defined in
/SIL. They are as much part of the SIL language as the opcode list.
These particular utilities are required for working with SILGlobalVariables, and
will be used by a whole-module access enforcement optimization.
The primary API for recognizing SIL globals is `getVariableOfGlobalInit`. It is
required to find the association between the addressor SILFunction marked
[global_init], and the SILGlobalVariable being addressed.
Other helper APIs expose more details about the addressor's SIL patterns and are
useful for transforming the initializer itself into an optimized form.
The main part of the change is to support the ptr_to_int builtin in statically initialized globals. This builtin is used to build a StaticString from a string_literal.
On the other hand I removed the support of the FPTrunc builtin, which is not needed anyway (because it can be constant propagated).
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.
Also, add a third [serializable] state for functions whose bodies we
*can* serialize, but only do so if they're referenced from another
serialized function.
This will be used for bodies synthesized for imported definitions,
such as init(rawValue:), etc, and various thunks, but for now this
change is NFC.
A lot of files transitively include Expr.h, because it was
included from SILInstruction.h, SILLocation.h and SILDeclRef.h.
However in reality most of these files don't do anything
with Exprs, especially not anything in IRGen or the SILOptimizer.
Now we're down to 171 files in the frontend which depend on
Expr.h, which is still a lot but much better than before.
Previously, we had hacks in place to eagerly emit everything in
the global ExternalDefinitions list. These can now be removed,
at least at the IRGen layer.
This flag is required for performing the propagation of global and static "let" values into their uses.
Let variables have now a [let] attribute in the SIL textual form.

This is necessary for correctly dealing with non-standard
ownership conventions in secondary positions, and it should
also help with non-injective type imports (like BOOL/_Bool).
But right now we aren't doing much with it.

Now the SILLinkage for functions and global variables is according to the swift visibility (private, internal or public).
In addition, the fact whether a function or global variable is considered as fragile, is kept in a separate flag at SIL level.
Previously the linkage was used for this (e.g. no inlining of less visible functions to more visible functions). But it had no effect,
because everything was public anyway.
For now this isFragile-flag is set for public transparent functions and for everything if a module is compiled with -sil-serialize-all,
i.e. for the stdlib.
For details see <rdar://problem/18201785> Set SILLinkage correctly and better handling of fragile functions.
The benefits of this change are:
*) Enable to eliminate unused private and internal functions
*) It should be possible now to use private in the stdlib
*) The symbol linkage is as one would expect (previously almost all symbols were public).
More details:
Specializations from fragile functions (e.g. from the stdlib) now get linkonce_odr,default
linkage instead of linkonce_odr,hidden, i.e. they have public visibility.
The reason is: if such a function is called from another fragile function (in the same module),
then it has to be visible from a third module, in case the fragile caller is inlined but not
the specialized function.
I had to update lots of test files, because many CHECK-LABEL lines include the linkage, which has changed.
The -sil-serialize-all option is now handled at SILGen and not at the Serializer.
This means that test files in sil format which are compiled with -sil-serialize-all
must have the [fragile] attribute set for all functions and globals.
The -disable-access-control option doesn't help anymore if the accessed module is not compiled
with -sil-serialize-all, because the linker will complain about unresolved symbols.
A final note: I tried to consider all the implications of this change, but it's not a low-risk change.
If you have any comments, please let me know.

It is defaulted to nullptr. When it is set, we increment the SILFunction's
ref count to keep it alive.
It will be used in followon patches for globals that can be statically
initialized.
Swift SVN r21983
We add two more fields to SILGlobalVariable: a VarDecl and a flag to see if this
is a declaration. VarDecl is mainly used for debugger support, it is also used
to check if the variable is weak imported.
We also modify the serializer to serialize the extra two fields.
Swift SVN r21883
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.

Like GlobalAddrInst, but for SILGlobalVariables. These would become the same instruction when SILGlobalVariable can replace AST-level global references.
Swift SVN r10510
This will let us control linkage and emit new variables independent of the AST in SILGen. In particular, for lazy global initialization, we need to emit a unique internal once predicate for every top-level pattern binding. Switching everything over is a bit much to reengineer all at once, so for now, it can coexist with the globals map that is already there.
