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.
We used to give witness thunks public linkage if the
conforming type and the protocol are public.
This is completely unnecessary. If the conformance is
fragile, the thunk should be [shared] [serialized],
allowing the thunk to be serialized into callers after
devirtualization.
Otherwise for private protocols or resilient modules,
witness thunks can just always be private.
This should reduce the size of compiled binaries.
There are two other mildly interesting consequences:
1) In the bridged cast tests, we now inline the witness
thunks from the bridgeable conformances, which removes
one level of indirection.
2) This uncovered a flaw in our accessibility checking
model. Usually, we reject a witness that is less
visible than the protocol; however, we fail to
reject it in the case that it comes from an
extension.
This is because members of an extension can be
declared 'public' even if the extended type is not
public, and it appears that in this case the 'public'
keyword has no effect.
I would prefer it if a) 'public' generated a warning
here, and b) the conformance also generated a warning.
In Swift 4 mode, we could then make this kind of
sillyness into an error. But for now, live with the
broken behavior, and add a test to exercise it to ensure
we don't crash.
There are other places where this "allow public but
ignore it, kinda, except respect it in some places"
behavior causes problems. I don't know if it was intentional
or just emergent behavior from general messiness in Sema.
3) In the TBD code, there is one less 'failure' because now
that witness thunks are no longer public, TBDGen does not
need to reason about them (except for the case #2 above,
which will probably require a similar workaround in TBDGen
as what I put into SILGen).
Instead of appending a character for each substitution, we now prefix the substitution with the repeat count, e.g.
AbbbbB -> A5B
The same is done for known-type substitutions, e.g.
SiSiSi -> S3i
This significantly shrinks mangled names which contain large lists of the same type, like
func foo(_ x: (Int, Int, Int, Int, Int, Int, Int, Int, Int, Int, Int, Int))
rdar://problem/30707433
And include some supplementary mangling changes:
- Give the first generic param (depth=0, index=0) a single character mangling. Even after removing the self type from method declaration types, 'Self' still shows up very frequently in protocol requirement signatures.
- Fix the mangling of generic parameter counts to elide the count when there's only one parameter at the starting depth of the mangling.
Together these carve another 154KB out of a debug standard library. There's some awkwardness in demangled strings that I'll clean up in subsequent commits; since decl types now only mangle the number of generic params at their own depth, it's context-dependent what depths those represent, which we get wrong now. Currying markers are also wrong, but since free function currying is going away, we can mangle the partial application thunks in different ways.

Canonical dependent member types are always based from a generic parameter, so we can use a more optimal mangling that assumes this. We can also introduce substitutions for AssociatedTypeDecls, and when a generic parameter in a signature is constrained by a single protocol, we can leave that protocol qualification out of the unsubstituted associated type mangling. These optimizations together shrink the standard library by 117KB, and bring the length of the longest Swift symbol in the stdlib down from 578 to 334 characters, shorter than the longest C++ symbol in the stdlib.

This patch attempts to fix rdar://problem/21452981, which Joe worked on
in r29572, but reverted because that patch had other changes that broke
stuff.
Swift SVN r29934
These still show up if you have a witness with a default argument, which the AST still represents as a single-element tuple, matched against a non-tuple orig type in the witness signature. Handle this by allowing getTupleElementType(0) on non-tuple AbstractionPatterns to work, and tweaking the parallel translation code to drill through single-element tuples and line up the contained scalars properly. Fixes rdar://problem/21452981. (Still left broken is the obnoxious single-element-tuple-of-tuple case, rdar://problem/21496105.)
Now with less Xcode autosave breakage.
