This prepares SIL to be able to more accurately preserve the calling convention of
polymorphic generic interfaces by letting the type system represent "substituted function types".
We add a couple of fields to SILFunctionType to support this:
- A substitution map, accessed by `getSubstitutions()`, which maps the generic signature
of the function to its concrete implementation. This will allow, for instance, a protocol
witness for a requirement of type `<Self: P> (Self, ...) -> ...` for a concrete conforming
type `Foo` to express its type as `<Self: P> (Self, ...) -> ... for <Foo>`, preserving the relation
to the protocol interface without relying on the pile of hacks that is the `witness_method`
protocol.
- A bool for whether the generic signature of the function is "implied" by the substitutions.
If true, the generic signature isn't really part of the calling convention of the function.
This will allow closure types to distinguish a closure being passed to a generic function, like
`<T, U> in (*T, *U) -> T for <Int, String>`, from the concrete type `(*Int, *String) -> Int`,
which will make it easier for us to differentiate the representation of those as types, for
instance by giving them different pointer authentication discriminators to harden arm64e
code.
This patch is currently NFC, it just introduces the new APIs and takes a first pass at updating
code to use them. Much more work will need to be done once we start exercising these new
fields.
This does bifurcate some existing APIs:
- SILFunctionType now has two accessors to get its generic signature.
`getSubstGenericSignature` gets the generic signature that is used to apply its
substitution map, if any. `getInvocationGenericSignature` gets the generic signature
used to invoke the function at apply sites. These differ if the generic signature is
implied.
- SILParameterInfo and SILResultInfo values carry the unsubstituted types of the parameters
and results of the function. They now have two APIs to get that type. `getInterfaceType`
returns the unsubstituted type of the generic interface, and
`getArgumentType`/`getReturnValueType` produce the substituted type that is used at
apply sites.
The only other header that depends on Lexer.h is Sema/TypeChecker.h,
so it is safe to get rid of the #include from AST cpp files if it is
not being used without worrying about accidental transitive #includes.
`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)
Identifier contains a pointer to character data, and we need to ensure that this pointer has enough spare bits in it for DeclBaseName and DeclName. This currently happens to be true because the StringMap used to intern Identifier pointers happens to place a 32-bit size field in the MapTableEntry object, but it would be better to explicitly force the alignment we want and assert that it’s correct.
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!)
The recursive properties now include the type alias generic parameters
and parent type, not just the underlying type. This means that a type
alias type like Foo<T>.Bar can be dependent even if its underlying type
is not dependent.
Like the last commit, SourceFile is used a lot by Parse and Sema, but
less so by the ClangImporter and (de)Serialization. Split it out to
cut down on recompilation times when something changes.
This commit does /not/ split the implementation of SourceFile out of
Module.cpp, which is where most of it lives. That might also be a
reasonable change, but the reason I was reluctant to is because a
number of SourceFile members correspond to the entry points in
ModuleDecl. Someone else can pick this up later if they decide it's a
good idea.
No functionality change.
Most of AST, Parse, and Sema deal with FileUnits regularly, but SIL
and IRGen certainly don't. Split FileUnit out into its own header to
cut down on recompilation times when something changes.
No functionality change.
Removes duplicated logic from the implementations of
FileUnit::lookupValue, and simplifies the interface to
ModuleDecl::lookupValue, where everyone was passing an empty
(non-filtering) access path anyway /except/ during actual lookup from
source code. No functionality change.
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.
This memoizes the result, which is fine for all callers; the only
exception is open existential types where each new open existential
now explicitly gets a unique generic environment, allocated by
calling GenericEnvironment::getIncomplete().
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.
