SIL type lowering erases DynamicSelfType, so we generate
incorrect code when casting to DynamicSelfType. Fixing this
requires a fair amount of plumbing, but most of the
changes are mechanical.
Note that the textual SIL syntax for casts has changed
slightly; the target type is now a formal type without a '$',
not a SIL type.
Also, the unconditional_checked_cast_value and
checked_cast_value_br instructions now take the _source_
formal type as well, just like the *_addr forms they are
intended to replace.
I discovered this due to the mandatory inliner doing devirtualization. I ported
all of the relevant SIL tests to increase code coverage of this code when
ownership is enabled.
Textual SIL was sometimes ambiguous when SILDeclRefs were used, because the textual representation of SILDeclRefs was the same for functions that have the same name, but different signatures.
- Look through BB arguments with multiple predecessors.
- Provide a new helper function to figure out the exact type of the underlying object. It will be used by subsequent commits to improve the escape analysis.
Add back a stand-alone devirtualizer pass, running prior to generic
specialization. As with the stand-alone generic specializer pass, this
may add functions to the pass manager's work list.
This is another step in unbundling these passes from the performance
inliner.
