This adds the RangeSet and DiscontiguousSlice types, as well as collection
operations for working with discontiguous ranges of elements. This also adds
a COWLoggingArray type to the test suite to verify that mutable collection
algorithms don't perform unexpected copy-on-write operations when mutating
slices mid-operation.
Most of the stdlib's properties don't need @_borrowed because they're
@inlinable, but I did find one place in an overlay where it's probably
sensible to make the operation use generalized accessors even if
they're resilient.
Now that we have removed overriding protocol requirements from witness
tables, they no longer have any effect on the ABI. Replace the FIXME
(ABI) comments with normal FIXMEs: there is no more ABI work to do
here.
Add the `-warn-implicit-overrides` flag when building the standard library
and overlays, so that each protocol member that overrides a member of an
inherited protocol will produce a warning unless annotated with either
‘override’ or ‘@_nonoverride’.
An annotation of `override` will mean that the overriding requirement will be treated identically to the overridden declaration. If for some reason a concrete type’s conformance to the inheriting protocol provides a different witness for the overriding requirement than the conformance to the inherited protocol’s witness for the overridden requirement, the witness for the inheriting (more-specialized) protocol will be ignored. A protocol requirement marked ‘override’ only makes sense when the declaration is needed to help associated type inference, which is why the ‘override’ annotations correlate so closely with ABI FIXMEs.
An annotation of `@_nonoverride` means that the two protocol requirements will be treated independently, and may be bound to different witnesses. Use `@_nonoverride` when we might need different witnesses, e.g., because the semantics of the potentially-overriding declaration differ from that of the potentially-overridden declaration. `BidirectionalCollection.index(_:offsetBy:)` is the most obvious example, because the `BidirectionalCollection` ’s version of `index(_:offsetBy:)` allows negative indices. `RandomAccessCollection` ’s version is also marked `@_nonoverride` because it is required to be asymptotically faster than the `Collection` or `BidirectionalCollection` versions.
* [stdlib] Update complexity docs for seq/collection algorithms
This corrects and standardizes the complexity documentation for Sequence
and Collection methods. The use of constants is more consistent, with `n`
equal to the length of the target collection, `m` equal to the length of
a collection passed in as a parameter, and `k` equal to any other passed
or calculated constant.
* Apply notes from @brentdax about complexity nomenclature
* Change `n` to `distance` in `index(_:offsetBy:)`
* Use equivalency language more places; sync across array types
* Use k instead of n for parameter names
* Slight changes to index(_:offsetBy:) discussion.
* Update tests with new parameter names
* Refactor Indices and Slice to use conditional conformance
* Replace ReversedRandomAccessCollection with a conditional extension
* Refactor some types into struct+extensions
* Revise Slice documentation
* Fix test cases for adoption of conditional conformances.
* [RangeReplaceableCollection] Eliminate unnecessary slicing subscript operator.
* Add -enable-experimental-conditional-conformances to test.
* Gruesome workaround for crasher in MutableSlice tests
The various _*Indexable protocols only exist to work around the lack of
recursive protocol constraints. Eliminate all of the *_Indexable protocols,
collapsing their requirements into the corresponding Collection protocol
(e.g., _MutableIndexable —> Collection).
This introduces a number of extraneous requirements into the various
Collection protocols to work around bugs in associated type
inference. Specifically, to work around the lack of "global" inference
of associated type witnesses. These hacks were implicitly present in
the *Indexable protocols; I've made marked them as ABI FIXMEs here so
we can remove them when associated type inference improves.
Fixes rdar://problem/21935030 and a number of ABI FIXMEs in the library.
Introduce (recursive) constraints that make the *Collection constraint
of SubSequence match that of its enclosing *Collection, e.g.,
MutableCollection.SubSequence conforms to MutableCollection.
Fixes rdar://problem/20715031 and more of SR-3453.
* Give Sequence a top-level Element, constrain Iterator to match
* Remove many instances of Iterator.
* Fixed various hard-coded tests
* XFAIL a few tests that need further investigation
* Change assoc type for arrayLiteralConvertible
* Mop up remaining "better expressed as a where clause" warnings
* Fix UnicodeDecoders prototype test
* Fix UIntBuffer
* Fix hard-coded Element identifier in CSDiag
* Fix up more tests
* Account for flatMap changes
Eliminate all of the redundant conformance constraints in the standard
library that were identified by the newly-introduced warning for
redundant, explicitly-specified conformances.
These were overlooked, and somehow code that attempted to make a minimal collection conform to RangeReplaceableCollection and RandomAccessCollection managed to compile successfully in Swift 3.0, but in Swift 3.1…*something* changed to reject a type that conforms to both due to the lack of a suitable default slicing subscript implementation in the stdlib that provided all the requirements. Fill in these missing implementations, fixing rdar://problem/30228957.
It's important to let people know that, in contrast with existing
practice in other frameworks, we really are going to remove the
deprecated API, and soon.
This documentation revision covers a large number of types & protocols:
String, its views and their indices, the Unicode codec types and protocol,
as well as Character, UnicodeScalar, and StaticString, among others.
This also includes a few small changes across the standard library for
consistency.
This revises and expands on documentation for the new collection methods
for working with indices and the revised Swift 3 set APIs. In addition,
it includes documentation for the new range types.
