This PR migrates instance member on type and type member on instance diagnostics handling to use the new diagnostics framework (fixes) and create more reliable and accurate diagnostics in such scenarios.
These two declarations are now equivalent:
protocol P : SomeClass { ... }
protocol P where Self : SomeClass { ... }
There's a long, complicated story here:
- Swift 4.2 rejected classes in the inheritance clause of a
protocol, but it accepted the 'where' clause form, even
though it didn't always work and would sometimes crash
- Recently we got the inheritance clause form working, and
added a diagnostic to ban the 'where' clause form, because
we thought it would simplify name lookup to not have to
consider the 'where' clause
- However, we already had to support looking at the 'where'
clause from name lookup anyway, because you could write
extension P where Self : SomeClass { ... }
- It turns out that despite the crashes, protocols with
'Self' constraints were already common enough that it was
worth supporting the existing behavior, instead of banning
it
