In order to allow this, I've had to rework the syntax of substituted function types; what was previously spelled `<T> in () -> T for <X>` is now spelled `@substituted <T> () -> T for <X>`. I think this is a nice improvement for readability, but it did require me to churn a lot of test cases.
Distinguishing the substitutions has two chief advantages over the existing representation. First, the semantics seem quite a bit clearer at use points; the `implicit` bit was very subtle and not always obvious how to use. More importantly, it allows the expression of generic function types that must satisfy a particular generic abstraction pattern, which was otherwise impossible to express.
As an example of the latter, consider the following protocol conformance:
```
protocol P { func foo() }
struct A<T> : P { func foo() {} }
```
The lowered signature of `P.foo` is `<Self: P> (@in_guaranteed Self) -> ()`. Without this change, the lowered signature of `A.foo`'s witness would be `<T> (@in_guaranteed A<T>) -> ()`, which does not preserve information about the conformance substitution in any useful way. With this change, the lowered signature of this witness could be `<T> @substituted <Self: P> (@in_guaranteed Self) -> () for <A<T>>`, which nicely preserves the exact substitutions which relate the witness to the requirement.
When we adopt this, it will both obviate the need for the special witness-table conformance field in SILFunctionType and make it far simpler for the SILOptimizer to devirtualize witness methods. This patch does not actually take that step, however; it merely makes it possible to do so.
As another piece of unfinished business, while `SILFunctionType::substGenericArgs()` conceptually ought to simply set the given substitutions as the invocation substitutions, that would disturb a number of places that expect that method to produce an unsubstituted type. This patch only set invocation arguments when the generic type is a substituted type, which we currently never produce in type-lowering.
My plan is to start by producing substituted function types for accessors. Accessors are an important case because the coroutine continuation function is essentially an implicit component of the function type which the current substitution rules simply erase the intended abstraction of. They're also used in narrower ways that should exercise less of the optimizer.
The constraint solver support for the Swift 3 function type behavior
has been removed, so it's no longer possible to pun the same value as
both a function taking multiple parameters and a function taking a
single tuple argument.
This means the entire parameter list is no longer a target for
substitution as a single value, so the most general form of a function
value passes each parameter indirectly instead of passing a single
tuple parameter indirectly.
`\.self` is the final chosen syntax. Implement support for this syntax, and remove the stopgap builtin and `WritableKeyPath._identity` property that were in place before.
Make sure the implementation can handle a key path with zero components by removing inappropriate assumptions that the number of components is always non-empty. Identity key paths also need some special behavior:
- Appending an identity key path should be an identity operation for the other operand
- Identity key paths have a `MemoryLayout.offset(of:)` zero
- Identity key paths interop with KVC as key paths to `@"self"`
To be able to exercise and test this behavior, add a `Builtin.identityKeyPath()` function and `WritableKeyPath._identity` accessor in lieu of finalized syntax.
The SILGen testsuite consists of valid Swift code covering most language
features. We use these tests to verify that no unknown nodes are in the
file's libSyntax tree. That way we will (hopefully) catch any future
changes or additions to the language which are not implemented in
libSyntax.
I am going to leave in the infrastructure around this just in case. But there is
no reason to keep this in the tests themselves. I can always just revert this
and I don't think merge conflicts are likely due to previous work I did around
the tooling for this.
- Fix some type system issues with looking up member types in/out of context.
- Correctly upcast a class-constrained existential or archetype to the base class when referencing a base class field on a generic type.

Otherwise, the plus_zero_* tests will have plus_zero_* as a module name, causing
massive FileCheck problems.
The reason why I am doing it with the main tests is so that I can use it when
syncing branches/etc.

In the type checker, we need to recognize when a member lookup succeeded through an IUO unwrap, and insert the implicit optional-unwrap component into the key path. In the standard library, we need to cope with the fact that IUO is still a first-class type with unique type metadata in a few places. Fix for rdar://problem/33230845.
This is a bit more robust and user-friendly than hoping more brittle recovery in SILGen or IRGen for unsupported components kicks in. rdar://problem/32200714
I had optimistically written the code here optimistically hoping #7837 would land in time for me to merge, but that didn't happen, so adjust some things to match the current 12-byte object header size on 32-bit, and introduce some ABI constants for the expected 32- and 64-bit object header sizes we can assert against so that we have some robustness when it eventually changes again. Implements rdar://problem/31768303.
This introduces a few unfortunate things because the syntax is awkward.
In particular, the period and following token in \.[a], \.? and \.! are
token sequences that don't appear anywhere else in Swift, and so need
special handling. This is somewhat compounded by \foo.bar.baz possibly
being \(foo).bar.baz or \(foo.bar).baz (parens around the type), and,
furthermore, needing to distinguish \Foo?.bar from \Foo.?bar.
