getAddrOfLLVMVariable() by moving the computation of the alignment and
default type into LinkEntity.

Collapse the generic witness table, which was used only as a uniquing
data structure during witness table instantiation, into the protocol
conformance record. This colocates all of the constant protocol conformance
metadata and makes it possible for us to recover the generic witness table
from the conformance descriptor (including looking at the pattern itself).
Rename swift_getGenericWitnessTable() to swift_instantiateWitnessTable()
to make it clearer what its purpose is, and take the conformance descriptor
directly.
Default associated conformance accessors will be used in default
witness tables to fill in associated conformances for defaulted
associated types. Add (de|re|)mangling support for them and make them
linking entities in IRGen.
Associated conformance descriptors are aliases that refer to associated
conformance requirements within a protocol descriptor’s list of
requirements. They will be used to provide protocol resilience against
the addition of new associated conformance requirements (which only makes
sense for newly-introduced, defaulted associated types).
When an associated type witness has a default, record that as part of
the protocol and emit a default associated type metadata accessor into the
default witness table. This allows a defaulted associated type to be
added to a protocol resiliently.
This is another part of rdar://problem/44167982, but it’s still very
limiting because the new associated type cannot have any conformances.
Introduce an alias that refers one element prior to the start of a
protocol descriptor’s protocol requirements. This can be subtracted from
an associated type descriptor address to determine the offset of the
associated type accessor within a corresponding witness table. The code
generation for the latter is not yet implemented.
The central thrust of this patch is to get these metadata initializations
off of `swift_once` and onto the metadata-request system where we can
properly detect and resolve dependencies. We do this by first introducing
runtime support for resolving metadata requests for "in-place"
initializations (committed previously) and then teaching IRGen to actually
generate code to use them (this patch).
A non-trivial amount of this patch is just renaming and refactoring some of
existing infrastructure that was being used for in-place initializations to
try to avoid unnecessary confusion.
The remaining cases that are still using `swift_once` resolution of
metadata initialization are:
- non-generic classes that can't statically fill their superclass or
have resilient internal layout
- foreign type metadata
Classes require more work because I'd like to switch at least the
resilient-superclass case over to using a pattern much more like what
we do with generic class instantiation. That is, I'd like in-place
initialization to be reserved for classes that actually don't need
relocation.
Foreign metadata should also be updated to the request/dependency scheme
before we declare ABI stability. I'm not sure why foreign metadata
would ever require a type to be resolved, but let's assume it's possible.
Fixes part of SR-7876.
Witness tables for conformances that require runtime instantiation
should not be public, because it is an error to directly reference
such a symbol from outside the module.
Use a different mangling for witness table patterns and give them
non-public linkage.
Within conformance records, reference Objective-C class objects
indirectly so the runtime can update those references appropriately.
We don't need to do this for classes with Swift metadata.
Make all OBJC_CLASS_REF symbols object-local using "\01l", which
prevents the linker from producing incorrect relative addresses.
Fixes the ABI-affecting part of rdar://problem/36310179.
The allocation phase is guaranteed to succeed and just puts enough
of the structure together to make things work.
The completion phase does any component metadata lookups that are
necessary (for the superclass, fields, etc.) and performs layout;
it can fail and require restart.
Next up is to support this in the runtime; then we can start the
process of making metadata accessors actually allow incomplete
metadata to be fetched.
This is yet another waypoint on the path towards the final
generic-metadata design. The immediate goal is to make the
pattern a private implementation detail and to give the runtime
more visibility into the allocation and caching of generic types.
The key path pattern needs to include a reference to the external descriptor, along with hooks for lowering its type arguments and indices, if any. The runtime will need to instantiate and interpolate the external component when the key path object is instantiated.
While we're here, let's also reserve some more component header bytes for future expansion, since this is an ABI we're going to be living with for a while.
This new format more efficiently represents existing information, while
more accurately encoding important information about nested generic
contexts with same-type and layout constraints that need to be evaluated
at runtime. It's also designed with an eye to forward- and
backward-compatible expansion for ABI stability with future Swift
versions.
* [runtime] Clean up symbols in error machinery.

* [runtime] Clean up symbols in collections and hashing.
* [runtime] Remove symbol controls from the Linux definition of swift_allocError.
* [tests] Add more stub functions for tests that link directly to the runtime.
Previously it was part of swiftBasic.
The demangler library does not depend on llvm (except some header-only utilities like StringRef). Putting it into its own library makes sure that no llvm stuff will be linked into clients which use the demangler library.
This change also contains other refactoring, like moving demangler code into different files. This makes it easier to remove the old demangler from the runtime library when we switch to the new symbol mangling.
Also in this commit: remove some unused API functions from the demangler Context.
fixes rdar://problem/30503344
to correctly handle generalized protocol requirements.
The major missing pieces here are that the conformance search
algorithms in both the AST (type substitution) and IRGen
(witness table reference emission) need to be rewritten to
back-track requirement sources, and the AST needs to actually
represent this stuff in NormalProtocolConformances instead
of just doing ???.
The new generality isn't tested yet; I'm looking into that,
but I wanted to get the abstractions in place first.
It also uses the new mangling for type names in meta-data (except for top-level non-generic classes).
lldb has now support for new mangled metadata type names.
This reinstates commit 21ba292943.
For this we are linking the new re-mangler instead of the old one into the swift runtime library.
Also we are linking the new de-mangling into the swift runtime library.
It also switches to the new mangling for class names of generic swift classes in the metadata.
Note that for non-generic class we still have to use the old mangling, because the ObjC runtime in the OS depends on it (it de-mangles the class names).
But names of generic classes are not handled by the ObjC runtime anyway, so there should be no problem to change the mangling for those.
The reason for this change is that it avoids linking the old re-mangler into the runtime library.
The purpose of this change is to test if the new mangling is equivalent to the old mangling.
Both mangling strings are created, de-mangled and checked if the de-mangle trees are equivalent.
