Per John's comments, make a GenericBox struct to represent the layout of a generic box allocation, move all the layout calculations into methods on GenericBox, and alter swift_deallocBox to take the type as an argument so that it's future-proofed for when we start special-casing certain types in allocBox.
Swift SVN r4613
Add a runtime function that, given a generic type metadata pointer, allocates a heap object capable of containing a value of that type. This is a first-pass implementation that always does the worst case thing of stuffing the type metadata into the box with the value and using its value witness table to size, align, and destroy the box. Use swift_allocBox to implement ArchetypeTypeInfo::allocate correctly for heap object allocations. This means SIL's alloc_box $T now works for archetypes, and a simple generics test now (almost) compiles through SIL!

At the top level, if 'operator' is followed by 'infix', 'prefix', or 'postfix', consider it a contextual keyword, and parse an operator decl following it that looks like:
operator {infix|postfix|prefix} <+> {
attributes…
}
Prefix and postfix operator decls currently admit no attributes. Infix operators have 'associativity {left|right|none}' and 'precedence <int>' attributes.
This patch implements parsing for operator declarations but does not yet attach the declared attributes to func decls for the operators.
Swift SVN r4596
Pack the uncurry level onto SILConstant, and modify SILConstant constructors to determine the natural uncurry level of their referenced entity by default. While we're here, improve how SILConstant represents different kinds of constants by using a real enum for the kind. Type closure entry points by giving them an extra curry level for their context. The implementation of ApplyInst and ClosureInst hasn't been updated yet, so tests that lower closures to SIL are temporarily broken.
Swift SVN r4354
Push LLVM attribute generation from expandAbstractCC into getFunctionSignature and CallEmission so that they can generate sret and/or byval attributes per-argument according to the calling convention. Copy our bogus rule for emitting sret returns (more than three elements in the explosion) and reuse it to pass large struct values as byvals rather than as explosions. This should be good enough to get both 'NSRect' and
'NSRange', 'NSSize' etc. to pass correctly to ObjC methods. Next step is to set the AbstractCC correctly for imported func decls so that standalone C functions follow the same bogus rule.
Swift SVN r3993
Alter CalleeSource and Callee to keep their own internal vector of substitutions and concatentate multiple SpecializationExpr substitutions. Update EmitPolymorphicArguments::emit to emit arguments out of the substitution list based on the generic parameters of the current function type instead of assuming that the substitution list and generic parameter list match up.
Swift SVN r3937
Witness table fulfillments for protocol types were being ignored because we didn't record them with the proper key--we were just dropping the protocol on the floor and recording null. Fixing this fixes <rdar://problem/12965934> and obviates r3904.
Swift SVN r3907
Static methods and constructors receive class metadata from which they can derive their polymorphic parameters, so adding additional metatype arguments to the function is redundant.
Swift SVN r3862
Factor out the parts of GenProto's prepareExistentialMemberRefCall necessary to map to SIL's ProtocolMethodInst. Similar to ConstantRefInst, we map the ProtocolMethodInst to an incomplete CallEmission and emit the call when all curry levels have been applied.
Swift SVN r3794
Factor out the witness table initialization and projection logic from GenProto so that IRGenSIL can use it to implement the ProjectExistential and InitExistential instructions. Also map the CopyAddr and DestroyAddr instructions to value witness table calls so that value semantics on protocol values (and other address-only values) work. The added test compiles but doesn't run yet because invoking methods on a protocol value still requires implementing the ProtocolMethod instruction.
Swift SVN r3787
The test changes are that we're setting a class body on
some types that we weren't before. For some of these,
this is okay; for others, it's more questionable, but
ultimately not *harmful*.
Swift SVN r3746
The IR generation for this conversion is different from
derived-to-base conversions, because converting from an archetype to
its superclass type means projecting the buffer and then performing
the conversion.
Swift SVN r3462
Notably, there is still no support for +1 return values,
so we'll leak when doing alloc/init and so on; but this gets
the fundamentals in place. A lot of the extra stuff in here
is dealing with mapping between metatypes and class objects.
Swift SVN r3425
The principal difficulty here is that we need accessing the
value witness table for a type to be an efficient operation,
but there (obviously) isn't a VWT field for ObjC classes.
Placing this field after the metatype would tend to bloat
metatypes by quite a bit. Placing it before is best, but
it introduces an unfortunate difference between the address
point of a metatype and the address of the global symbol.
That, however, can be fixed with appropriate linker support.
Still, for now this is rather unfortunately over-subtle.
Swift SVN r3307
The motivations here are that (1) the parametric types
that actually need the 'self' argument don't necessarily
all want to do what tuples do and put the VWT relative
to the metatype at some definable offset and (2)
recovering type parameters from the metatype is much
better defined than also hopping some relationship back.
Plus this allows VWTs to be shared across instances of
generic types. Also, I'm going to need to add a VW
that takes a metatype, and consistency seems right here.
If keeping two values live is actually punishing, I
might have to reconsider this. But the VWT is at least
always recoverable from the metatype, so....
I ended up abstracting the thing that GenHeap was doing
in order to save archetypes for arrays, because I
needed it to save metatypes instead of VWTs and because
it really needed abstractin'.
Swift SVN r3096
Introduce a '.metatype' form in the syntax and do some basic
type-checking that I probably haven't done right. Change
IR-generation for that and GetMetatypeExpr to use code that
actually honors the dynamic type of an expression.
Swift SVN r3053
to avoid some obvious redundancies. This also gives us a
more general framework with which to exploit other ways
in which metadata is known.
Swift SVN r3047
a type pointer; in the case of protocol<>, this replaces the
mandatory trivial witness table, and in all other cases it simply
grows the representation by a pointer. We've discussed shrinking
the representation by making the witness-table lookup a (cached)
lookup from the type metadata; this needs more investigation.
Swift SVN r3018
protocol witnesses over to the new API. There's some badness
that we're papering over here involving generic types, but
this is a necessary first step.

dispatch. Currently there is no possibility of override.
This was really not as difficult as I managed to make it
the first time through.
Swift SVN r2960
of a class is part of the class members section and is not
global to the entire class metadata. This is crucial for
correct operation of functions expecting a base-class
metadata object.
That gives us the correct foundation to implement an
optimization under which generic arguments that can be
inferred from the 'this' pointer need not actually be
separately passed. This has the important result of
making all class member functions with the same signature
up to abstraction actually have the same physical
signature.
Swift SVN r2936
towards optimizing generic calls to derive things from the
'this' pointer, which is actually crucial for virtual
dispatch (to get all methods to agree about how the
implicit arguments are passed). Fix a number of assorted
bugs in metadata emission. Lots of assorted enhancements.
This was proving surprisingly difficult to actually tease
apart into smaller patches.
Swift SVN r2927
uncurrying level, which is something I find myself passing around
quite a bit. Make sure that it can propagate getter/setter
references in the same way.
Swift SVN r2902
This is kindof a pain in a few places where the type system
doesn't propagate canonicality. Also, member initializations
are always direct-initializations and so are allowed to use
explicit constructors, which is a hole in our canonicality
tracking. But overall I like the idea of always working
with canonical types.
Swift SVN r2893
This requires us to potentially copy the value witness tables for
generic struct types as part of computing layout, but that's not
the end of the world (although it will rely on a future patch
to split value witnesses out from protocol witness tables).
Oh, and add a value witness for stride, changing Builtin.strideof
to use that.
