Previously, when a tuple type had non-fixed layout, we would compute
a layout by building the metadata for that tuple type and then
extracting the layout from the VWT. This can be quite expensive
because it involves constructing the exact metadata for types like
arrays and functions despite those types being fixed-layout across
all instantiations. It also tends to cause unnecessary recursive-type
issues, especially with enums where tuples are currently used to model
cases with mutliple payloads. Since we just need a layout, computing
it directly from element layouts instead of constructing metadata for
the formal type lets us take advantage of all the other fast paths for
layout construction, e.g. for fixed types and single-field aggregates.
This is a good improvement overall, but it also serves to alleviate
some of the problems of rdar://40810002 / SR-7876 in a way that
might be suitable for integration to 4.2.
- `swift_getForeignTypeMetadata` is now a request/response function.
- The initialization function is now a completion function, and the
pointer to it has moved into the type descriptor.
- The cache variable is no longer part of the ABI; it's an
implementation detail of the access function.
- The two points above mean that there is no special header on foreign
type metadata and therefore that they can be marked constant when
there isn't something about them that needs to be initialized.
The only foreign-metadata initialization we actually do right now is
of the superclass field of a foreign class, and since that relationship
is a proper DAG, it's not actually possible to have recursive
initialization problems. But this is the right long-term thing to do,
and it removes one of the last two clients of once-based initialization.
The prefab'ed value witness tables for reference storage types are a
premature optimization. Not all scenarios are covered, and those that
are "look suspect" according to John McCall.
As part of this, rename TypeMetadataRecordKind to TypeReferenceKind
and consistently give it three bits of storage.
The better modelling of these type references appears to have been
sufficient to make dynamic conformance checks succeed, which is good
but unexpected.
From what I see the only fields are DATA_VALUE_WITNESS which
all have type size_t. I converted them to use the target-dependent
`StoredSize`. While I was around I fixed also isValueInline()
to do the right thing (it was using ValueBuffer instead of
TargetValueBuffer) and all the getters for the data value witnesses.

Rather than storing a mangled name in a Swift protocol descriptor,
which encodes information that is redundant with the context of the
protocol, store an unmangled name as in nominal type descriptors. Update
the various places where this name is used to extract the demangle
tree from the context descriptors.
Reimplement protocol descriptors for Swift protocols as a kind of
context descriptor, dropping the Objective-C protocol compatibility
layout. The new protocol descriptors have several advantages over the
current implementation:
* They drop all of the unused fields required for layout-compatibility
with Objective-C protocols.
* They encode the full requirement signature of the protocol. This
maintains more information about the protocol itself, including
(e.g.) correctly encoding superclass requirements.
* They fit within the general scheme of context descriptors, rather than
being their own thing, which allows us to share more code with
nominal type descriptors.
* They only use relative pointers, so they’re smaller and can be placed
in read-only memory
Implements rdar://problem/38815359.
In a generic requirement, distinguish between Swift and
Objective-C protocols using a spare bit within the relative
(indirectable) reference to the protocol.
Switch one entry point in the runtime (swift_getExistentialTypeMetadata)
to use ProtocolDescriptorRef rather than a protocol descriptor. Update
IRGen to produce ProtocolDescriptorRef instances for its calls, setting
the discriminator bit appropriately.
Within the runtime, verify that all instances of ProtocolDescriptorRef have
the right layout, i.e., the discriminator bit is set for @objc protocols
but not Swift protocols.
Use ProtocolDescriptorRefs within the runtime representation of
existential type metadata (TargetExistentialTypeMetadata) instead of
bare protocol descriptor pointers. Start rolling out the use of
ProtocolDescriptorRef in a few places in the runtime that touch this
code. Note that we’re not yet establishing any strong invariants on
the TargetProtocolDescriptorRef instances.
While here, replace TargetExistentialTypeMetadata’s hand-rolled pointer
arithmetic with swift::ABI::TrailingObjects and centralize knowledge of
its layout better.
'const T *' isn't compatible with a function pointer, so upstream
Clang complained about the 'patch_t' convenience constructor we were
using. It's not like we need general functionality or convenience
here, so just pass the members of the patch_t type separately and
without any templating, and drop it entirely.
No functionality change.
Follow-up to 3ed3774e07. On Apple OSs that don't have the new
Objective-C runtime function 'objc_setHook_getImageName', override the
system definition of 'class_getImageName' by literally rewriting
symbol tables at run time.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The low-level part of this patch was written by Greg Parker, then
simplified and tweaked by me to fit the Swift coding style. Don't try
this at home; it comes with all sorts of caveats and won't actually
work on this year's iOS. (Fortunately we don't need it there, because
that will have the new ObjC entry point.)
The rest of the patch is pretty straightforward: the replacement
implementation calls the code that supports Swift objects (the same
code we use on newer OSs), which then chains back to the original
system implementation of class_getImageName. May we never have to
touch this again.

This not only restores the correct behavior for classes with generic
ancestry, but also handles actual generic classes as well. (This is
the function that backs Foundation's Bundle.init(for: AnyClass)
initializer.)

This code would previously read off the end of the allocated metadata to fetch these values. This was usually harmless, as the value was never used in that case. However, on rare occasions the metadata would be right before unmapped memory, and this read would crash trying to access that unmapped memory.

Dynamic subclasses aren't /really/ valid Swift type metadata, but
they can still be used as values of type AnyClass. Make sure we
don't assert when that happens.
No intended functionality change.
If we only emit an opaque reflection record for a struct or class, then we can't reflect its fields. We failed both to clear the "is reflectable" bit in the context descriptor for non-reflectable structs, and to check for the bit before trying to present a struct's fields as children in the runtime. rdar://problem/41274260
Clang-importer-synthesized declarations get an extra tag character included in their mangling, which was not being preserved in type context descriptors. This caused runtime lookup for these synthesized types to fail. Fix this by adding the tag information to type context descriptors and teaching the runtime to match it up when fetching metadata by mangled name. Fixes rdar://problem/40878715.
