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.
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.
replaced by retain release code motion. This code has been disabled for sometime now.
This should bring the retain release code motion into a close. The retain release
code motion pipeline looks like this. There could be some minor cleanups after this though.
1. We perform a global data flow for retain release code motion in RRCM (RetainReleaseCodeMotion)
2. We perform a local form of retain release code motion in SILCodeMotion. This is more
for cases which can not be handled in RRCM. e.g. sinking into a switch is more efficiently
done in a local form, the retain is not needed on the None block. Release on SILArgument needs
to be split to incoming values, this can not be done in RRCM and other cases.
3. We do not perform code motion in ASO, only elimination which are very important.
Some modifications to test cases, they look different, but functionally the same.
RRCM has this canonicalization effect, i.e. it uses the rc root, instead of
the SSA value the retain/release is currently using. As a result some test cases need
to be modified.
I also removed some test cases that do not make sense anymore and lot of duplicate test
cases between earlycodemotion.sil and latecodemotion.sil. These tests cases only have retains
and should be used to test early code motion.
